Aira Officially Launches Remote Incident Manager Integration, Making On-Demand Remote Visual Assistance Fully Accessible! pneumasolutions.com/aira-offic…
in reply to Jessica Dail

@KE8UPE RIM is free if you're the person who is receiving assistance. I don't know if AIRA's free tier allowing for daily five-minute calls provides this capability so it would be better to ask them about this. Even if it did, you would be pretty limited as to how much help you could receive because of the brief time allowed per day. Now if Be My Eyes had agents who could do it that would be pretty amazing.

We could generally use anybody interested in web development or design of basically any skill level to take interest in our websites. This is a place where we don’t have a very active community. Our web presence is maintained but it isn’t vibrant and exciting. Great opportunity for some excited young people to take ownership!

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…

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…

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.

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.
