Hello, @itsfoss! Any recommendation for buffered #SoundEffects player (not soundboard)?

All these "simple" audio players have a crippling delay at the start of every file operation and don't repeat the sound on demand, so I've had a struggle finding one player that would be nice to short #SFX.

Extra points if it can handle multiple files open (keep each #SoundEffect in memory for fast play).

@itsfoss Makes sense, thank you a good sir. (Was joking about an image that didn't appear, but now it's there.)

@feditips Duh, I completely forgot that you can press the 🔔 and get notifications for less frequent posters on #Mastodon! (Even though it's only supported in third-party apps at the moment.)

@feditips What happened to regional indicator symbols? Many emoji pickers seem to have forgotten about these letters. Probably because it's Latin... and there are, like, hundreds more languages to cover. Still, I find it a bit disappointing.

@itsfoss Oh, the most dreaded ~/Downloads

I gave #Kbin another try, took a less popular instance without Cloudflare, create a magazine with appropriate tags in settings.

When I go and make a post on Mastodon with one of those tags AND even mention the group where magazine resides (just in case), but nothing makes the post appear on Kbin.

You can imagine my disappointment, as I promoted the shit out of Kbin prematurely and how it's suppoed to fetch remote posts - NOPE, doesn't work. 🤔 😔

@feditips I'd say it's the opposite that *confused* me, personally. I looked in their channels through PeerTube and noticed that both channel and account are barely different.

But the advise is right on the money - first and foremost, you would want to maintain your channel's brand on Fediverse, rather than what could be a simple Mastodon microblog for your personal posts.
