Mixx is sneaky good as a TTRPG soundscape mixer. You can queue layer multiple ambiance tracks over tempo-matched music, build soundboards, and hook it all to hardware controls.
It's overkill, but a lot of similar tools either lock you into a media ecosystem, lack some power-user functionality, have a subscription, or don't work at all on Linux or macOS.
Is it possible to stream it for an online game? I do both and need something for my creepy Call of Cthulhu game. Music and sound effects work really well with 1920s Call of Cthulhu.
E: I did look at it before but got intimidated by the screenshots.
Yeah, this was my thinking in sharing it. The most interesting parts to me were how they carved up and refinished the junkyard parts for this purpose, not the hardcore sim stuff (of which there aren't any). They could upgrade to hardcore sim components if they wanted to at some point, it just wasn't a priority.
If it helps those whose eyes are twitching, imagine that they'd titled this "making a casual arcade racing sim cab out of junked Corvettes".
The alternative is worse: more passive forms of targeting are so good that advertisers don't need to record your every moment in order to make a large number of people genuinely believe that they are.
It's relatively comforting to think they'd be so brazen as to care about your every word, as opposed to the fact that they own so much information about you that they can predict your actions and thoughts better than you can.
This piqued my interest too. I found a few adjacent papers but couldn't find a source that made as comprehensive of a claim.
The closest were:
- "In constant battle with insurers, doctors reach for a cudgel: AI" from NYT (via Salt Lake Tribune), 2024 July, which is mostly on doctors using law-compliant LLMs to draft prior authorizations and has a passing one-graf mention of insurers likely doing the same: https://www.sltrib.com/news/nation-world/2024/07/11/constant...

cf. Portland's Safe Rest camps composed of one-room tiny shelters with similar accommodations as the article's tiny houses (locks, bed, power, storage, water, in some cases mini-split heat/AC) but not built to be as mobile, as they're clustered in camps with centralized shower/toilet bathrooms and laundry, and also built with ADA-compliant ramps.

> * Changed the licence to GPL. (Raph agreed on that)
So it's probably just a typo in the article. Intended point is that the license was changed from Gzilla's private copyright notice[1] to the GPL of the time, which would probably be v2.
Nonetheless Dillo's code is also licensed under GPLv3 now.
I wouldn't mind smart TVs if they were as serviceable as most computers. There was that Sharp M551 panel that had a Pi CM4 as the onboard CPU and that seems ideal: a modular, replaceable, upgradable board.
The fact that this both exists and is utterly unrealistic in the consumer space just makes it more infuriating.
It's overkill, but a lot of similar tools either lock you into a media ecosystem, lack some power-user functionality, have a subscription, or don't work at all on Linux or macOS.
