I thought that a textual introduction was already done, rather than having to sit through a 15-minute video.
Also the embedded video player does not work on my iPhone. I had to hunt down your presentation at video.fosdem.org/2023/H.2215%2… and play the MP4 file directly.

🆕 blog! “Regular Expressions make me feel like a powerful wizard - and that's not a good thing”
(This is a rant because I'm exhausted after debugging something. If you've made RegEx your whole personality, I'm sorry.) The other day I had to fix a multi-line Regular Expression (RegEx). After a few hours of peering at…

Si leísteis algo este fin de semana sobre unos trenes con problemas de gálibo y un rifirrafe entre #Renfe y #Adif, y os apeteciera saber más, he escrito un poco sobre ello en mi blog:
Parece que algunos de vosotros, lectores (¿tengo lectores?), estáis interesados en que cuente algo sobre esta noticia: El error de Adif con el gálibo de los túneles retrasa la renovación de trenes …

TIL "aris" means "arse" in britspeak by the most circuitous logic I've seen in a while: Shortened from Aristotle, Cockney rhyming slang for bottle, itself shortened from bottle and glass, Cockney rhyming slang for arse. (Source: en.wiktionary.org/wiki/aris )
PSA: The symbolic on a colored backdrop was a solution to the problem of libraries and system components not having a striking visual identity like apps do. Use your app icon on gitlab and matrix if you're an app, don't try to be a library!
it would also be useful to note that if a library project already has a visual identity, maybe even a trademark, then you should not suggest moving to a symbolic icon on a background on matrix/gitlab
Today I discovered #Quicksy. It's a spin-off of the #XMPP app "Conversations(.)im", developed by the same people, but designed with ease of use in mind. It actually links with and uses your phone number to sign in so it's easy to on-board new users, and easy for new users to find people in their contacts list that already use it. But, it is just a standard XMPP client, so it is still capable of communicating back and forth with people on other XMPP / #Jabber servers.
A spin-off of the popular Jabber/XMPP client Conversations with automatic contact discovery. Sign up with your phone number and Quicksy will automatically—based on the phone numbers in your address book—suggest possible contacts to you.
shot-scraper: take automated screenshots. The author created it to automate the process of keeping screenshots up-to-date in their documentation. It also doubles as a scraping tool—hence the name

almost every point on that page is wrong, unfortunately. someday these factions in the xmpp community will wake up and realise that facebook & co are the enemy, not Matrix :|
This seems like one of the worse criticisms written for Matrix. There are many advantages of XMPP over Matrix, but it's never about the war between XML and JSON, or the ability to seamlessly bridge to IRC. This article seems to be written out of pure hatred, instead of in a mind of constructive criticism.
@PeterCxy because they like xmpp and feel matrix threatens it, despite matrix being a totally different approach (decentralised conversation db rather than messaging protocol, basically).
The reason why my own voice always has a weird accent is probably because the samples I fed it were in Polish, so it didn’t have anything to go off of.
the Indian one stumbles quite a bit. The British one has it together, but delivering this address before a large gathering would be sure to put them to sleep, especially with a monotonous voice.
Ah, so now he wants you to produce free content for his dying, unstable platform, after threatening you, on a whim, to shut off your free access. I see.
In response, I will be discontinuing all my projects that rely on Twitter's API, and I advise you all to do the same, rather than let him decide their fate.
For the last little while, I've been playing with the AI voice cloning thing at www.elevenlabs.io. Here is a silly thing, where I forced my 13 year old self to read the first part of The hitch hiker's guide to the galaxy with "stability" turned all the way down. I gain a weird not quite British accent somewhere along the way, then get bored with it.
I present the first 8 or so years of the #MainMenu radio program published by #ACBRadio as of September, 2008. I will leave this file in Dropbox for a few days. Get while the gettin's good: dropbox.com/s/13pvx5n2m038h3h/…
WTF? The #bike service man wanted to kill me? The axis is obviously too short. Even the arm fixing bolt can't reach the thread, so he must have noticed it. What a dangerous #idiot. 🤬🔧🚲
It's fixed I hope. The axis was ok, there is only one standard length. The problem was he changed crank shaft bearings and mounted them with 2 spacers. Shaft then was too long. Still he must have noticed when he was mounting the pedal. 🚲🔧
Podcasting has been around for 20 years. Many revolutions have happened since then: DSL connections, smartphones, social networks, artificial intelligence everywhere… But Podcasting stayed still and its decentralized architecture resisted to the big corporations. In this talk we will show how the Podcasting 2.0 community is reinventing Podcasting by adding tons of new features, while keeping all this interoperable. We will quickly demonstrate how this actually works with Castopod, an open-source podcast hosting solution.

#fosdem Update Tag 2: Schade! Schon ist der zweite Tag vorbei.. Damit wir auch nur irgendwie mit dem straffen Zeitplan zurechtkommen konnten, saßen wir zwischenzeitlich einfach in Hörsaal A und haben uns per #Livestream in Hörsaal B eingeklinkt (wie die anderen knapp 20.000 Unique Viewers).

Through the 1990s, Iomega was the darling of the storage industry, largely from the success of its Zip drive. But late in the decade it launched a new format that absolutely flopped — and started the company on a downward spiral. New video! youtu.be/X7iKL4I-E3k
