Just what nobody wanted.

Pretty cool, actually. Opens up a lot of possibilities for non-human appointment making, etc.

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh. It Disgusted me...

I assume people are shitting on it because it's fake? At least it looks fake to me as the sounds they're making seem the same each time.

I imagine it would sound a lot more like a dialup modem if it were real as we got pretty good at sending data over audio channels back then. Likely that standard that already exists could be used.

lmao no it's not... They literally post the link to the Github: https://github.com/PennyroyalTea/gibberlink

In a lot of respects Lemmy is worse than Reddit. Jesus.

I was waiting for the full on modem screams

I stand corrected. It seems odd to me that you would relegate all data transfer to the inaudible range, as you'll have a lot less bandwidth to work with and will likely hit issues with compression technologies that are designed to filter those frequencies out.

I guess the designers didn't want it to sound so offputting like dial-up did. Still seems odd to me and I'm not surprised it failed my initial sniff test.
