@Scott Here's the github repo that shows you how to run it. github.com/facebookresearch/sa…

If you're Canadian, and you support this decision, it's worth sending Skate Canada an email saying so. I'm sure they're about to hear from people opposing it, and it would be good to make sure they’re hearing from people who think they did the right thing as well. skatecanada.ca/about/contact-u…

#AndroidAppRain today brings you 26 updated and 1 added apps:

* FireWall Blocks: a firewall blocking internet access via Shizuku or VPN 🛡️

At our RB builder today, we had to fight with a load of failed RBs. Half we were able to fix, the other half not (mostly due to build timestamps and "dirty build"). So a call to the devs to please take care, see e.g. our corresponding hints: izzyondroid.org/docs/reproduci…

Now, enjoy your #free #Android #apps with the #IzzyOnDroid repo :awesome:

Salut !

C'est la merde ici bas, on va pas se mentir.

J'ai besoin d'aide pour trouver du travail rapidement sous peine de me retrouver sans logement.

Je suis un développeur PHP senior avec presque 10 ans d'expérience dans le dev web, je suis aussi pertinent en back qu'en fullstack (html, css, js et ses frameworks front).

Je cherche sur Montpellier ou en 100% remote.

Je passe mon CV en MP si besoin.

A défaut de pouvoir m'aider, un boost serait super utile, merci !

In other depressing IoT news, iRobot, the maker of the popular Roomba vacuums, files for bankruptcy and sells itself to Chinese company. Hello cameras and mics in bajillions of homes.

For a bit of fun, we're releasing a single just before the end of the year. Some of you might recall I posted a sketch of a piece called In My Head back in July. Well, I actually finished it! :) It's unapologetically poppy and electronic, with backing vocals distantly reminiscent of a boy band. 😂

Nice, love the subtle glitchy edits in there, really cool. Slightly unrelated, but what do you do for artwork? I wanna put more stuff out, but I'm totally blind so any photo editing stuff is gonna be kind of difficult. I've got like one single out on streaming, and for that I just used Distro Kid's AI art generator, but knowing what I know now about how those models are trained, I feel kind of icky about using them.
in reply to Zach Bennoui

@ZBennoui Thanks! I didn't actually realise Distrokid had an AI art generator. I used Bing Image Generator for this one, plus Aira to help me put text on it, but apparently, the artwork is really weird and creepy, which is precisely what I didn't want. Like you, I don't really want to use AI art generators, but the services force you to do album art. In the past, I've had some sighted help, so one of our albums has an actual photo on it, but sighted help is not always available to me. In short, same struggle here.
in reply to Jamie Teh

Yeah honestly I wouldn't feel so bad if I knew the training data was collected properly and with consent, but at the same time, I'm not really sure what else I'm supposed to do. I'm happy to pay artists to design art, but I'm not making money from this at all so it's not worth it right now. I've thought about just taking pictures of myself standing next to some gear or something, and hoping that looks good, but then I guess getting the right dimensions would also be an issue and I'd have no idea how to even edit the photos.

@ZBennoui Nope, distrokid never punished me for it, so I assume this is not a requirement. your title/artist info will be displayed along with the picture. I often generate the picture that will represent something about the tune I am posting. Of course, I verify with the sighted person before putting this in production! I guess you could quadruple-check with AI and if the description is consistent enough, that might work!

@JustinMac84 See my last boost: blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/le…
Especially the phrase "It will evolve into a modern AI browser".

Mozilla has a new CEO and he just announced that Firefox will evolve into a modern AI browser. This is a good example of how management doesn’t understand its own user base and why they go out of their way to install Firefox on Windows, Android, iOS and other devices.

Cette année, mes enfants ne savaient pas s'ils étaient trop grands pour un calendrier de l'#avent. Ma fille en a voulu un, mon fils ne savait pas trop. Je lui ai finalement pris un ensemble de petits objets que j'ai moi-même mis dans les pochettes d'un calendrier Père-Noël en tissu.
Et donc tous les jours de décembre, je vais le voir "Alors y'avait quoi aujourd'hui ? Montre !". Je crois que je le soule...
En plus il est en voyage scolaire depuis samedi, je tiens plus, je veux savoir

Honestly I can't wait to move out. Nope, for nothing you might think the typical teenager would want that. Simply so I have complete control over the network. This internet situation kills me. We have this stupid DSL connection we probably pay way to much for for the fact the landline is broken at this point and should honestly just be turned of anyway, we have a stupid FritzBox which, is dumb. And here's the thing, LAN doesn't feel like LAN. The speed my FirtzBox shows can never be reached anyhow, I don't even have a clue how much speed we're paying for... And slowly my desk is getting to small for all these experiments. Just got a switch to extend the one LAN cable that goes into my room to also connect the Raspberry Pi to have somewhat faster internet. It worked, sort of, I guess.

The #FOSDEM FOSS on Mobile devroom schedule is out!

fosdem.org/2026/schedule/track…

It's going to be a great day of talks on AOSP, Mobile Linux and more; covering the full stack from SoCs to app ecosystems.

14 full length talks, 7 lightning talks, 23 speakers.

Pensaba que entendía las bases de la álgebra lineal (vectores, matrices). Pero me he puesto a ver las fundaciones, las propiedades de un espacio vectorial, y resulta que no. Aprender es bueno.

Aunque a veces te encuentrass con cosas como, "El espaceio vectorial formado por las funciones que mapean los números reales consigo mismos constituye un espacio de infinitas dimensiones." Y bueno, ahí la intuición geométrica se va un poco a tomar por el culo.

Pero el tema parece ser que te puedes montar un espacio vectorial con cualquier campo que se comporte bien con una adición y multiplicación, y las funciones hacen eso.

jejeje, estudié GFs en la universidad, y me sonaba alguna perversión de operar con polinomios mediante matrices, pero no recuerdo lo suficiente como para ser útil.

Pero bueno, ¿no es uno de los principios matemáticos que "todo es lo mismo"? Todo es una matriz, todo es una función, todo es un anillo... ¡el "si tengo un martillo todo son clavos" definitivo!

in reply to

@yo Sí, la verdad es que es una cosa que me gusta y a la vez me exaspera un poco, porque de repente te das cuenta de que algo que estabas haciendo de una forma complicada e ineficiente se puede hacer de otra manera si concibes la estructura de otra forma.

En fin, llevo unos 4 meses desde que decidí a volver a estudiar un poco en serio, así que tampoco he llegado muy allá. Y cada vez que me intento orientar, hay más cosas interesantes pero todavía fuera de mi alcance: análisis funcional, lógica algebraica abstracta, el operador Leibniz... Por lo menos ahora vagamente sé de que va el tema, aunque todavía no estoy en situación de aprenderlo.

I need help from someone at #Microsoft or with contacts at Microsoft.
I have quite a complicated question about Microsoft 365 billing. TL;DR: I'm changing the country of the subscription and don't want to lose my data. I have two solutions in mind but I'd like a suggestion from someone knowledgeable.
I tried contacting tech support, but didn't go through the first line, and people at the first line… are not that experienced, at least, the person I talked with. Thanks!
