Do you think reCaptcha is annoying? Then you haven't encountered OpenAI's captcha...

You have to solve 20 puzzles, by clicking on left and right arrows to select the one correct image from 7 options.

Frak it, giving up...

Náš projekt Pomáháme.Digital vyhrál první cenu Evropské komise za digitální inkluzi. Mám z toho velkou radost – mimo jiné mě těší, že nevyhrála nějaká vyhajpovaná AI břečka, ale technicky konzervativní projekt, jehož hodnota je především v dobrém výzkumu a dobrém nápadu – tedy že pokud chceme zlepšit situaci digitálně vyloučených lidí, můžeme do nich digitální kompetence vpašovat osmózou z pracovníků a pracovnic v sociálních službách :) blog.cesko.digital/2024/07/cis…

Remember how my UK trip was cut short by COVID last month?

Well. I have four travel days left on my Interrail ticket, and I'm gonna use them! :D

That was certainly refreshing! :)

Oh, I learned that Budapest grew together from two smaller cities, Buda and Pest! It used to be called "Pest-Buda" at some point!



As expected after their customer survey, @protonprivacy released a "AI mail writing bullshit assistant".

On Reddit, two kinds of reactions:

1. The negatives: asking about the privacy, the ecological impact, the money/time spent on this instead of other features.

2. The positives: thanking the developers for not enabling the feature by default.

Despite this, I’m sure people at Proton are convinced that this one the most important/urgent thing the Email world needed.

#Nextcloud: Wer ein paar Plugins installiert, bekommt ein Hauptverzeichnis voller Ordner, die jeweils zu einem Plugin gehören.

Für neue User ist das verwirrend.

Ich fänd gut, wenn diese Ordner alle in einem versteckten Ordner gesammelt würden.

Wer will, kann dann in diesen Ordnern Dinge tun. Aber wer sich dafür nicht interessiert, sieht sie auch erst einmal nicht.

Bitte unterstützt meinem Feature Request dazu:

Nicht nur verwirrend für neue User. Es kann auch zu richtigem Chaos kommen, wenn neue user diese Ordner mit eigenen Dateien füllen oder sie löschen, weil ihnen die Notwendigkeit der Existenz nicht bekannt @nextcloud@mastodon.xyz

I spent much of the past week in the village of Burin in the West Bank. Burin is surrounded by three settlements, two military bases, and checkpoints on all main roads.

3 weeks before I arrived, the army had declared one of Burin's farm a closed military zone.

I’ve suffered through many over-the-top renditions of the national anthem, but the one from this year’s Republican convention was by far the most extra. They threw in an orchestra, a choir, and at least eighty-seven key changes. I can’t even. Please just sing the damn song FFS. youtube.com/watch?v=h8MqnFQw3q…

in reply to Drew Mochak

Wo, that was quite a spectacle! I would remove vocal tracks and leave everything else in place. That sounded like a musical almost. A simple brass orchestra would suffice? :)
in reply to Drew Mochak

That orchestral arrangement reminds me of an evangelical Christian singer named Sandi Patty whose career peaked in the 80s, so, during my childhood. Yes, she did key changes like that, too. Of course, she's well past her prime now.

Somewhat to my surprise, the rendition you linked *was* Sandi Patty's arrangement. Sounds like that other singer used the same track. I don't actually recall hearing Sandi Patty's version of the national anthem growing up.

in reply to Matt Campbell

@matt I was just watching it with Jamie and we were speculating that it was a backing track, since she never actually saw any instruments or performers. That makes so much sense! Thanks.
in reply to Drew Mochak

For many in the target audience at the convention, that performance probably brought back memories of the Reagan era, when Sandi Patty's version came out.
in reply to Matt Campbell

@matt Oh wow, you just reminded me. She narrated a heavily abridged version of the bible for kids that I used to listen to growing up. I don’t remember most of it but I am sure it was super formative. Holy crap. I haven’t thought about that in years. I don’t think I knew she was a singer though.
This entry was edited (3 months ago)
in reply to Drew Mochak

I hate to disappoint, but I actually don't remember that either. Maybe that was one of her later projects, after I was the right age for it.
in reply to Matt Campbell

No, that was 1987. Go figure. I'm sure we never had that on cassette.
in reply to Matt Campbell

@matt Oh yeah, I know of Sandi Patty. Yeah, she's definitely past her prime these days, but she did used to do key changes like that all the time. It was pretty wild.
in reply to Joseph King

@jdking92 Her version of the national anthem wasn't even her most over-the-top song when it came to key changes. As far as I know, that dubious distinction goes to one of her more obscure religious songs, "Unshakable Kingdom", which went through a total of 6 keys (A flat, A, B flat, C, C sharp, and finally E). No, I don't remember that from when I was like 7; I listened to it again more recently.
in reply to Matt Campbell

@matt GOod lord. Yeah...I used to have a lot of her stufff in digital form. IT sort of got nuked when my old computer's hard drive bit the dust and I just never bothered replacing it.

I will never forgive The New York Times for bringing this to pass. They violated the journalistic norms they claim to uphold in their vindictive campaign against him. They hounded him out of office. They'd best not crow and they'd best not do the same to Kamala Harris. But I have no faith they can restrain themselves. Same to the Post.

The post about representation in cyberpunk settings that I just boosted reminded me of an idea I had not long ago: It would be cool if someone made a game similar to System Shock, but as an audio game. For those not familiar with System Shock, Jimmy Maher covered it well: filfre.net/2021/03/system-shoc… 1/2
in reply to Matt Campbell

Now, in System Shock, what Maher calls the diegetic UI is explained in-world by having the player character outfitted with a neural implant in the backstory. So in an audiogame remake, the hacker could be blind, and then the implant, rather than giving them sight, gives them a new audio UI to their world. 2/2
in reply to Matt Campbell

BTW, someone wrote a complete fan novelization of System Shock, called Free Radical: shamusyoung.com/shocked/ Obviously they made the story their own, filling in details that aren't fleshed out in the game, especially details about the backstory. Regardless, I appreciated being able to enjoy a version of the story aspect of one of the many games I'll likely never be able to play.
