(2/2) eventful day. 6 RBs we had to fix, some failed. The Trixie upgrade to one of our builders temporarily disabled it, took us half a day to find and fix the culprits. I'm a zombie now…
3 unmaintained apps were removed:
* M17 HT: almost no downloads anyway
* Mobilinkd TNC Config: incl. Tracking; and almost no downloads
* The Particulate Matter App: dead since 2021, and reported crashing; NonFreeDep+Tracking
More another day, please excuse me for now…

Last week, I started an Ableton Move track. Today, I finally finished it.
This is a thing I call "Fly on the Wall." Basically, I just wanted an excuse to use one of the Sliced Loops presets, which are in the latest Move beta, along with one of the new autofilters in combination with a second filter and LFO to make one of the included single-sample E-piano patches sound less boring.

So I just realised that the "tech princess" link on my website was broken, after I made my instagram disappear.
Anyway, here's the back story: I was going to React Day Berlin in November 2019, and I was so bored of going to tech conferences in jeans and a t-shirt, and wanted to be *hyper* femme, so I bought a huge ballgown and wore that to the conference. I also tried to encourage some other femmes to join me, but didn't have much luck.
It was literally to poke fun at the fact that tech conferences are all jeans and t-shirts or like suits. I wanted to do something different.
Just in time for the security release, the first version of the "Room Upgrades" guide on matrix.org is published!
@HarHarLinks and I spent the last few hours at #why2025 finalizing it.
Quebec wants to launch AI pilot project to take medical notes in 2026

Quebec wants to launch AI pilot project to take medical notes in 2026
Quebec's health ministry plans to launch a pilot project in 2026 to roll out artificial intelligence on a large scale for medical transcription needs.The Canadian Press (CTVNews)
This seems like a perfectly reasonable use of AI, especially when balanced against the documented already existing harm, which is doctors not paying close attention to their patients because the record-keeping requirements mean they are more focused on their EMR software than on the person in front of them.
I get that we all want to hate on inappropriate use of tools, but "fill out this form for me" seems like a domain where the AI error rate will easily be below the human error rate.
QC is already in the process of adopting Epic, which will be another $1B IT endeavor so this will make it sounds like they're being innovative. Also, if these tools are saving the raw audio, then transcribing it and summarizing it's providing the detail to catch errors as well. Since it doesn't remove the requirement that a doctor verify the notes.
I will note that man doctors in QC today do dictation to create patient encounter summaries (these are manually transcribed).
