reading this in snakes voice

you can get free sticker paper from the ups site :3

unngg colonel.... i want to make stickers....

it's pretty rad! i'm glad i could let you in on it

this isn't great considering i have to now host my sims revisited page narration ON NEKOWEB ITSELF. on my stupid small amount of storage, even 3 MB is a luxury. but i have to do narration. some people can't be arsed to read and i'd rather not have them turn to an ai-voiced page reader. solution? 112 kbps MP3 @ 12kHz. i guess we doin e-mu emulator II now.

you could try and host your files on file garden

Maybe it's possible to integrate a simple TTS program like SAM: https://discordier.github.io/sam/

filegarden has no terms of use so it's a non-starter for my original work. also a text-to-speech engine of any kind would kill the intonation and rhythm. and i was a voiceover artist until genAI stole that from me so narrating my own webpages is a bit of personal vengeance.

"oh she used double hyphens, she's using ai to write for her" mate where do you THINK genAI learnt about double hyphens and emdashes in the first place?

I Google searched for my emdash to copy/paste .. RESPECT the manual labor to add it

wait until AI appropriates any and all use of hyphens and people will accuse you of using AI for writing 'mother-in-law' in a grammatically correct manner

@maxcrunch the amount of time i've spent typing & # x 2014 ; into all my webpages just to be accused of using like claude or some shit. but yeah anyway, microblog.

AltGr + Shift + hyphen works on both of my keyboards (although i omit the Shift to get en dashes instead)

@maxcrunch you could also use charmap (or your linux DE's equivalent) and avoid giving google any traffic

i became an emdash user thanks to writing fanfic... 😭

thanks @taibhse and @badgraph1csghost for the shortcuts! you've actually inspired me to just make a page on my site that I can reference. I have lots of punctuation to copy and paste and I'm not great with memorization.
