Mám dnes náhodou narozky a tohle náhodou sjížděli na Rádiu 1... vtipný je, že od toho roku 1992 dnes uplynulo víc let, než bylo tehdy těm bigbeatům, co jsem zamlada poslouchal (tohle bych si tehdy nepustil...). Shamen vlastně definovali žánr, jako první se pokusili atmosféru rave scény přetransformovat do popmusic (což bylo následně megazkomercionalizováno, ale už bez nich) a taky byli jednou z prvních kapel aktivních na Internetu.

Sacrament le Québec... Ça fait dur

--

Les profs non binaires devront être appelés « monsieur » ou « madame »

Au Collège Jean-Eudes, Constance Bourguignon, qui s’identifie comme non binaire et qui emploie le pronom iel, s’interroge, justement : « Ici, le vouvoiement est déjà en place, alors les élèves m’appellent prof Bourguignon. Mais il y a un problème… »

Le souci, c’est que « prof » ne figure pas sur la liste du vocabulaire ministériel : les élèves doivent « utiliser le titre de “madame” ou de “monsieur” pour s’adresser au personnel de l’école » en vue « d’adopter un comportement empreint de civisme ».

Civisme à l’école | Les profs non binaires devront être appelés « monsieur » ou « madame »

Ce sera monsieur ou madame, point final. N’en déplaise aux membres non binaires du personnel scolaire, le règlement sur le civisme à l’école, qui entrera officiellement en vigueur le 1er janvier prochain, ne prévoit pas d’exceptions en matière de dés…

Very interesting! PSG Global Solutions ran an experiment on AI interview with 70,000 participants, and "when given a choice, 78% of candidates choose to be interviewed by an AI voice agent." "Women were also more likely than men to choose the AI over the human interview." "People who went through the AI interview process were 12% more likely to get a job offer and about 18% more likely to start and stay in the job for at least a month." #AI npr.org/2025/11/07/nx-s1-56001…

Am I finally done with these horrible, no good, verry bad #lemmy performance issues? I think I might be. Lemmy federation requires a lot more...everything...than does Mastodon style microblogging. People vote constantly. Posts and comments are longer. Everything has multiple images. And by default lemmy wants to cache everything all the time forever.

Has anyone been keeping a list of tech that has milkshake ducked this calendar year? If not, let’s build one together.

• Framework: welcomed racists into its “big tent”
• calibre: added LLMs to software that doesn’t need it

Just to be clear: we're listing the projects and corporations who were our darlings earlier this year, until they lurched dramatically into unacceptability. The ones who've been on a downward spiral for years, they're for a different list.

Regarding @MonaApp and all the upgrade stuff: I have no idea what's going on anymore. I don't remember what I paid for Mona a few years ago, I don't know which tier I'm on, and I don't know what my upgrade path to Mona 7 is. While I have no problem at all financially supporting the apps, services, and entertainment I like, I find myself confused about my own options and concerned that this developer is not being up-front with all Mona users. I may just stay on 6 for now.

@vick21 Agreed. It has amazing accessibility customization settings, it uses actions well, it lets you control the magic tap, and on and on. I love it, and would support the developer except for what seem like questionable pricing decisions. It's worse that there's been no clarifying post, not that I've seen anyway, even after all the posts mentioning the developer and asking for explanations.

@vick21 there were previously two tears of Mona. There was a base pro purchase which granted you a license to use it on iPhone and iPad, and a Pro Max which you could upgrade to that also adds the Mac version. That's the version which gives you an upgrade path to Mona 7 lifetime, that's how I understand it. So anyone who bought the iPhone/iPad only versions of Mona Classic has to go to Pro Max first or take the Mona 7 subscription.

Fantastic comment on Metafilter, on masking, that it is a constant burden of translation to be understood by a neurotypical audience.

This is getting a bit more traction than my posts usually do, so hi, people reading me, a bit more context for my being pissed off about Calibre putting AI into its feature set:

I am an author. I've released work with Carina Press, and I've released work on my own. My released work is on record as HAVING BEEN STOLEN BY OPENAI, and I am in fact one of the many, many authors who've had to file claims on the settlement with Anthropic.

So I am not kidding when I say I don't want that technology, technology which HAS STOLEN FROM ME, anywhere near a program I use. ESPECIALLY the program I've used to not only manage my ebook library, but even perform format conversions on my work to prep it for sale. /1

"Oh, but they're unobtrusive, you don't have to use the features if you don't want them" isn't good enough. My baseline is "I don't want that crap in programs I use AT ALL". Period. Full stop.

So I will for the foreseeable future remain on Calibre 8.10, the last known version to have no AI features in it whatsoever. And if an AI-free competitor eventually shows up, I am prepared to transfer my ebooks into a new manager if I have to.

Am I extremely fucking salty about this? YES I AM. Because, again: THIS TECHNOLOGY STOLE MY WORK and that of countless other creatives all over the world. And it's insulting and infuriating to me to see it creeping into each and every corner of my daily computer use no matter how much I DO NOT WANT IT. /End

Dear Employer,

Thank you for your rejection. Unfortunately due to the high volume of rejections I have received, I have been unable to accept yours. As a result, I must inform you that I will see you on Monday for my first shift.

Good luck rejecting candidates in the future.

With kind regards

What miss it's an easier way to choose our server with an auto select (based on location) of them (if the operator of the relay agree to join), to push user accross them.

For 1 increate server failure resillience (if everyone is on the default and that one stop the whole system is down).

Finish the docker image (must be a emergency feature).

And finally approach governement like Germany, France etc to use your app, and make it more known.

Zuckerberg has blown 77 billion – enough money to revitalize entire countries – on an idea so overwhelmingly, obviously stupid that I have never once heard anyone, from the Thanksgiving avuncular table to the most wretched depths of social media, say they liked it or even tried it. He was so sure that it would revolutionize the world that he renamed his extremely famous company after it. And now he's on to the next thing that he's so very, very sure about.

The world needs direction from sober people who aim to improve the human condition, not the whims of a handful of billionaire princelings who absolutely, positively cannot be dissuaded from failing at unprecedented scale while chasing their own vainglory off the edge of a cliff.

I didn't quite believe this when I first started. It is actually easier to set up, and more reliable than bluetooth audio and braille. Bluetooth, the very short distance product, is actually worse, in terms both of latency and ease of startup, than the product on the network. Seriously, I just don't know what to say. This doesn't make sense. The only thing which brings things sort of into competition is aptx. That both costs money and is sometimes unavailable. Again, talk about counterintuitive.

@techsinger Yup, + I can use my keyboard under my blanket without lag and yeah, connectivity issues. It's just as you said, much more stable. Impressive, but hey I can't complain really. Love it. I wanna try to get Sound Remote started up automatically though, when I need it or something. Maybe through a keystroke. Because atm, I always have to fall back to NVDA Remote for the first minute or so to configure stuff, like unlocking the PC and opening Sound Remote.

Personally, I disable automatic locking for my home machines. It helps that I don't have a monitor and I trust my people completely, but even if it were just no monitor, I would forget about locking. I haven't used sounddRmote yet, but do have Sonobus on win+2 which launches it and connects it to the group automatically. All I have to do is hit win+2 and then launch SB to get sound. VH is automatic for the keyboard and if the display is plugged into the phone, it uses that as well. The only time I have to start up is after a reboot, and that's just because I'm lazy, I could very easily have SB start on boot.

Guess an #introduction is in order. Not sure I ever did one for my first instance, whoops.

Hi, my name is James an I've moved from an instance that is closing down soon.

I'm absolutely queer :asexual: :progresspride_flag: :_gay: but working a boring office job in Germany, trying to remind ppl at work that personal data needs protection and that genAI came fresh out of pandora's box and does not belong in their daily job.

In my free time I #write fic, #draw digital art and #read a lot of books, mostly #scifi. I play a handful of computer games like #GW2. I watch a lot of tv shows and love Star Trek :trekbadgetng: and Doctor Who.

I love #space, #nature, #cats and #photography (although my photos are just taken with my phone). I post them mostly on my Pixelfed account.

Guess that's it for now. I probably forgot a lot of stuff that people write into introductions, but feel free to ask x)
