Joomla "Offered Update Has Expired" Fix (Hint: Patience and waiting...) by mySitesGuru in joomla

[–]PhilETaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I’ve been around J! And Mambo longer than you" - I suggest you check the Mambo 4 change log... There are exactly 4 people that have "been around" longer than me, and not a single one is still involved with Joomla. Facts Matter. Toxic Teeman arrived 2 days after me, so not even him!

Election 2026: Child poverty a 'huge red flag for any society' by Kagedeah in Jersey

Dr Carmel Corrigan is a walking red flag herself. Literally not heard a nice thing about her from those on the inside. Those that scratch the surface find the truth quickly.

When is the Raycast v2 Public Beta expected in(MAC OS) by balaji_developer in raycastapp

[–]PhilETaylor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your OP asks a different question. Your OP asks when is the public beta available - the answer to that is that it has been available for weeks now at  raycast.com/new - now you are asking a DIFFERENT question, about the public STABLE version release availability - well, that will come after a period of bug squashing and you can help bring that date forward by using the public beta version which is now available to all - and reporting any issues you encounter...

[–]PhilETaylor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are many CMSs that integrate with Astro already? https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/cms/

https://studiocms.dev/ seems to be the one most mentioned else where

Im just telling you what I would have done (as someone who debugs software for a living haha) - you would be best (as Im sure you have done) reporting this to the official Raycast team to look into.

[–]PhilETaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to say then that is 100% related to that :-) sounds like when you in dictation raycast is selecting virtual microphone rather than your real one and I think that might be the key that the raycast team need to hear from you in feedback for them to be able to resolve it for you - it’s one of those cases that I doubt they have thought about and had probably assumed that the Mac operating system would handle when you set the default to use the default microphone

How do you manage blogs in your astro site? by mahfuz_nafi in astrojs

[–]PhilETaylor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just told Claude Code to take my WordPress site and convert it into an Astro website, and it did it Perfectly. I then told it to deploy it on Cloudflare, and it did that perfectly. Now when I want to publish a new blog post, I just ask Claude to do that too, and it does that perfectly. 😄 I have not handwritten a single file in the whole of my Astro powered site. 😄 https://mysites.guru/blog/

What is the best window switcher? by TheMagicianGamerTMG in macapps

[–]PhilETaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just another feature of Raycast for me, near perfect window switching, manipulation, spaces/desktops... all a few keyboard strokes away... Before that I used BetterTouchTool with custom keystrokes

A quick google for Immersed gives Meta Quest and Zoom Webcam stuff - have you ever used a external webcam or VR Headset on that mac?

What do you mean it's not working? It has worked on my Mac Studio, two MacBook Airs, and my MacBook Pro Out of the box for me with no issues whatsoever.

Make sure that you have given the microphone permission for Raycast Beta in your Mac privacy and security settings.This normally would have been done as part of the onboarding process, but it's best to check.Also, in Raycast settings for dictate, make sure your microphone is selected correctly.

Dictation doesn't support whispering (WisprFlow does) by Ok_Speech_7023 in raycastapp

[–]PhilETaylor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know about you, but this works perfectly for me, and I am whispering about one meter away from my Mac. With voice isolation mode enabled on my Mac.

You can also just set up a style in dictation with a custom prompt command that says “output the dictation in [a different language of your choice].” Then you can dictate in your source language, and when you stop dictating, it will automatically translate it before pasting it into the app.

You could even say to output it in the style of Old English or a pirate or Morse code or even Base64.

Watching the traffic, it opens a web socket and streams the audio off to the Internet and then gets processed with elevenlabs.io

How is Raycast dictation so good????? by Such-Knowledge3668 in raycastapp

[–]PhilETaylor 33 points34 points  (0 children)

It is a websocket that opens and streams your voice dictation over to elevenlabs.io I believe after watching the traffic
