Creo que necesitamos un movimiento jurídico materialista y empirista. En concreto, es necesario que el sistema judicial atienda más a la verdad material que a la forma. No hablo de eliminar ni reducir garantías cuando estas tienen un objeto legítimo, pero una cuestión como el plazo no debería en general sobreponerse a la realidad.

Lo que me ha hecho pensar en esto es esta sentencia del TSJ de Navarra absolviendo a una funcionaria de revelación de secretos. Reconoce que lo hizo y que es delictivo, pero se le pidió declaración fuera del plazo del año que manda la LECRIM. economistjurist.es/actualidad-…

Last night i tested some apps with text to speech just out of curiosity. Just listening that the things it depict sound right at all.

I can't fully test things because i am not in a spot to do so, but this is something anyone can do really. Enable text to speech, click around your app, make sure that all fields, buttons, texts and things are described. Make also sure that you can use keyboard only to move around.

If you want to help with #Linux #accessibility this is something anyone could try to do and fix! It will not make things perfect necessarily but it really does help. You dont have to even write code, you can document things and then make a bug report!

I learned a lot from this @LateNightLinux podcast episode and i highly recommend anyone who makes apps and websites to listen it! Even if youre not on linux!

Der Podcast ist bisher (bin bei Folge 2 "Warum so wütend hier?" von 6) sehr, sehr spannend für mich. Ich bin in der Gegend groß geworden, hab damals in #Freital im Bus von einem Glatzkopf, wie sagt man: "auf's Maul gekriegt", ohne dass es jemenschen gejuckt hätte.

Spannend finde ich an diesem Podcast dennoch vor allem, wie #Journalismus hier eine Selbst-Erzählung inszeniert, nach der JournalistÏnnen, sensibel, objektiv, souverän und medienkompetent kommunizieren können. Beschämend finde ich, dass sich die beteiligten JournalistÏnnen das Scheitern dieses Anspruches an medienpolitischen Wirklichkeiten nicht eingestehen wollen/können/dürfen, ja sich dem nicht mal bewusst zu sein scheinen.

Gleichzeitig macht es mich ratlos und traurig zu hören, wie in diesem Podcast unter dem Deckmantel der "Verständigung zwischen Dorf und Stadt / Wir wollen nicht über, sondern mit den Menschen reden" ein wirklich schlimmer old school #Kulturalismus betrieben wird.
Ich hätte mir gewünscht, in diesem Podcast auf mehr ethnografisches Wissen / Kompetenzen zu treffen. Jedenfalls hatte ich beim Hören den Eindruck, dass die MacherÏnnen selbst diesen Anspruch hatten.

Gibt's den auch irgendwo als richtigen Podcast, also als RSS?
Würd' mich sehr interessieren.

Da beklage ich erst heute noch die mangelnde Medienberichterstattung zur aktuellen #Corona-Lage - und finde plötzlich dieses tolle Meinungsstück. 👏

"Und wer einen Fuß in die Tür der wenigen #LongCovid-Ambulanzen bekommen will, muss oft Monate warten. Eine wirkliche Strategie ist nicht in Sicht. Angesichts der steigenden Fallzahlen ist das ziemlich leichtsinnig."

Good morning! Despite crappy sleep I was able to get up at 7am! And go for a run AND stretch before breakfast! This is what I aspire to. I actually woke up much earlier due to a very loud crow shouting, “Cark! Cark!” over and over again on the roof. Feeling good 😊 How are you?

Recently, there was a viral tweet claiming that NVIDIA is like Sun from the Dot Com Bubble. Despite my best attempts to resist talking about this, I am giving into temptation: on today's Oxide and Friends, @ahl and I will take this one apart. Is NVIDIA like Sun from the Dot Com Bubble? Join us today at 5p Pacific to discuss!

Meet Chinese sports shooter Zhāng Shān, the reason skeet shooting is sex segregated. At the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, she dominated the then integrated skeet shooting competition winning Gold, defeating the men. The International Shooting Union banned women for the 1996 Olympics.


Il y a 84 ans, le 25 juin 1940, s'installait en France un régime autoritaire collaborationniste de Vichy dirigé par le maréchal Pétain.

Ceux qui ont vécu sous un gouvernement français d'extrême droite ont aujourd'hui 90 ans ou plus. Mon père en est un.

George Santayana a dit : "Ceux qui ne peuvent se rappeler du passé sont condamnés à le répéter." Je prie pour que ce vendredi le 30 juin 2024, les Français se souviennent des leçons du 20ème siècle et de ce que nos ainés ont survécu.

@thunderbird really needs a *Snooze* function for "Inbox Zero" freaks like myself.

Until then, there is the **RemindMe** add-on! :')

We know there are lots of ways to an inbox that is a useful productivity tool, and thanks so much for sharing an add-on that helps you get things done! (Also, this idea has been brought up on Mozilla Connect, if you'd like to upvote it or make a comment! connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/f…)

Major record companies sue AI music generators Suno, Udio for ‘mass infringement’ of copyright musicbusinessworldwide.com/maj…
in reply to Tamas G

Yeah, I was wondering when this was going to happen. Guess I'll go download all my songs now. Lol!
in reply to Just Martin

@mcourcel I still think that the various public voice-cloning platforms that host artist-based voice AI systems have more direct risk, since you're directly creating something in the likeness of the artist and publishing that without attribution, but Suno / Udio have always felt more like, at most, sampled forms of many songs, enough to be less recognizable. Will be curious how the two different courts will decide this one (if it even gets decided before new copyright laws.)
