@IzzyOnDroid Gerade gesehen, dass das Repository von Organic Maps, was man über dich bezieht, auf "archiviert" gesetzt wurde. Da wird es zukünftig keine Updates mehr geben.
Da beschränkt man sich wohl jetzt auf das Github Repo github.com/organicmaps/organic… – Danke für den Hinweis! Wir hatten die "Web" Version damals aufgenommen, als der PlayStore sie ausgesperrt hatte. Aber da unsere Badge dor nicht im Einsatz ist, ohnehin nie zu uns verlinkt wurde, die APK-Größe 2x unser per-App Limit ist, und die App ohnehin bei F-Droid verfügbar, ist jetzt wohl der Zeitpunkt zum Entfernen gekommen…

This past week, 99 years ago, Miles Dewey Davis III was born in Alton, Illinois.
On November 12, 1989, on 60 Minutes, Harry Reasoner asked him if Black musicians were better at jazz and blues because of slavery. The question could’ve gone sideways.
Nolan and Kundaliya: "Infrastruture in Recession" osf.io/eax82 The first author notes that Microsoft spent over $17.5 billion last year on stock buybacks to enrich existing shareholders without creating anything salable. That's enough to pay all 7000 of the employees laid off recently $200,000/year for 10 years.
The Palestinian singer Bashar Murad wrote this last year:
“There’s no pride in genocide. Pride month conveniently comes in June during the ongoing genocide in Gaza & after the 76th anniversary of our on-going Nakba.” ➡️
”Pride month is a great opportunity for israel to pinkwash its crimes against queer and non-queer Palestinians alike.
It’s another opportunity to lean into orientalist tropes and paint Palestinians as backward, barbaric savages, and to paint israel as the "only democracy" in the Middle East.” ➡️
Countries on the edge of the Sahara desert are reversing desertification by just digging half circles.
The ground in these places is too compact for water to soak in during wet season which leads to flooding but digging these holes gives the water a place to stop and soak in. And they’re pushing back the desert with this. By just digging holes.
one of my fav pics from this era is from the big copy party we (Horizon) arranged in "vårby" in 1990 that was visited by some 500 crazy C64 hackers from all over the Nordics.
going to one of these parties meant lugging along your heavy 15" CRT, a C64, a diskette station, a power strip, lots of diskettes and a sleeping bag. Almost all of us just teenagers. Then code assembler demos like crazy, barely sleep, meet similar minded weirdos, drink oceans of Coke and eat rubbish food for a whole weekend. It would totally exhaust us. It was the best of times.
shows the strength of learning in groups - which helps explains how curl achieves such good cohesion as a project - often many programmers introduction into computing are lonely, autodidactic paths ... though I think we can do more in terms of evolving group learning - it all (generally) feels like emulating ideas of how royalty learning in the 18th century still
Been there, done that and still have the Shirt Jay Miner signed. It’s never been washed 😄 Wonderful days! Did you guys still run C64 events in the beginning ‘90s? If i remember correctly the 64 became rare after the rise of Amiga and ST in the middle 80s?!

Walt Whitman's [Calamus poems](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calamus_(poems)) are some of America's great gay literature, all the more remarkable for being written in 1859.
It's day 1 of #AudioMo! This one is short enough I can include the full transcript here. I'll be posting (hopefully at least daily) under this hashtag until July. Where the transcript is too long it's always in the ID3 tags of the audio itself.
[Gentle birdsong proceeds the closing of a door] Good evening, Audio Mo. Welcome to the first of the month and the first of my recordings for this delightful thirty days or so of nonsense that I'll be spouting. [Clicks of wall outlet switches.] I am just standing in my home office and I'm about to turn on all the power for everything which has been turned off for the week I've been on holiday. [The famous Apple startup sound plays in the background] That's the MacBook coming back to life. Other plugs I need to turn on are over here and over here. Lovely. And I need to power up the hard drive here. Brilliant. That means that the work laptop is ready. Yes, it has a headset in it. Keyboard for phone control is there. Let's have a look. [Keypresses.] Yes, three flashing lights means fully charged. Excellent. So the week holiday was spent in Rhodes, on Rhodes I suppose, it's an island. And it was a lovely week. I had a very good time. I'll tell you more about it in subsequent audio posts, of course. That hard drive doesn't sound very healthy does it? And we'll also spend some time this Audio Mo talking about what's changed since last year, of course. What's got better, what's got worse, what's different, what's the same. And then we'll throw in a few surprises along the way, [a light switch is turned off] including some cookery. [a door is opened] Poetry. And all the other exciting things we can think of. [the door is closed and we are now back in the garden] So, enjoy day one. I've certainly enjoyed some of the introductory posts that I've come across and other people's responses and things. I look forward to flavouring your months with me over the next four weeks.
@andrew Oh it's an old synology disk station thing, really needs a tidy up but I only really use it for family photo backups and as a ramdrive these days.
Yeah I think that startup thrashing is normal. It certainly is on mine anyway. I'm due to replace the thing at some point but not sure whether its a good investment to splash down cash on another NAS at this point. I really want something solid state as well.

I'm very impressed with Chatterbox! Possibly best open source model for voice cloning. They even have a separate example script for Mac! @ZBennouigithub.com/resemble-ai/chatter…
I assume this is not supported for Silicon processors? The default device is “cuda”. I tried “mps” but I am still getting errors. Are you able to run this on Mac?
Thanks for the write-up. Awesome, as usual! The only personal note from me is that I do not very much like the style of the glasses. I think they feel a bit bulky, but as you say, nothing in comparison to the Envision glasses... :) I know we can do better as far as the form factor goes! (wink)! :)
@vick21 Thanks Victor. I tend to agree. In an ideal world I'd prefer an even lighter form factor, but compared to the Envisions (Google Glass), the Metas are much more comfortable.
@vick21 I must admit I don't find them heavy, and I've seen some actual RayBan sunglasses which were about the same weight. Maybe it's a nose thing, if you have a smaller nose (which I definitely don't) the surface area it sits on could feel heavier or something.
@FreakyFwoof For me, it's actually less about the weight and more about the width of the overall profile of the glasses. But that's just how the Ray-ben design goes. The Google glasses that were shown at the I/O have a design that I personally prefer a bit more. Looking forward to whenever and whatever they end up with! <grin>
Mine have turned out to mostly be an expensive gadget that gets deployed during washing dishes, but in a way that's hard to explain, somehow I still don't regret the purchase yet.
@Scott Please do try to explain... I wear mine when washing the dishes because I listen to a book to pass the time, but I hadn't thought about using them to... check the dishes are clean? Look out of the window? I'm curious now! 😊
Think I might've accidentally gotten your hopes up with wonky grammar. I only meant hard to explain as in, somehow I don't regret the purchase even though I'm not using these for anything I couldn't already do with a bone conduction headset before owning them. They either play podcasts or connect to whoever I'm complaining about washing dishes to at the time. There is a window right in front of me and I hadn't thought to ask what's on the other side of that yet lol. Who knows, maybe that'll be the turning point.
This sparked enough curiosity that I've been to check what's outside the kitchen window. A brick building and another window, possibly that of a neighbour. It couldn't see in (don't even try telling me your next question would've been something different). I asked whether there was anything interesting it could tell me about out there, any sign of movement at all? It said no, the scene is calm and totally still. Naturally I checked whether it was the aftermath of a nuclear appocalypse, and it reassured me that although such a scenario would involve a lack of activity, there weren't any signs of destruction, so it was sure I'm not looking out over a nuclear apocalypse. How sure? Very sure. Well that's good to know.
@Scott I mostly treat them as reading glasses. I don't feel they are comfortable enough to wear 24/7. I wish though I could! There are lots of great uses for them, but it's like, another cool underused gadget! :)
After reading about the manosphere-trained ChatGPT model OpenAI was _promoting on its front page_, I shared a couple photos with inceLLM to see how much it would neg me for not being GigaChad material...aaand ironically inceLLM, the most toxic-masculinity thing I've heard of this week, has a thing for enbies 🤣
Particularly see the "Is This as Bad as It Looks?" section. The answer is no. But it's still not great IMO. Particularly given what turns out to be the secondary role of the Linux system, it seems overly complex to me. And, given that the Linux system is responsible for booting up the more secure system, it corresponds well to the car analogy in this article by @leeg: sicpers.info/2015/01/and-in-th…
Hey, we should have a chat sometime. It's been too long, and I'd love to learn about an alternative to Talkback. I'm still using Android as my work phone, too.
Liebe Leseratten, nachdem gestern 22 frische #eBooks bei ebooks.qumran.org/ hochgeladen wurden, habe ich soeben nochmal 25 nachgeschoben – um die großen Lücken der letzten Wochen ein wenig zu kompensieren. Da kommt natürlich noch mehr, nur nicht gerade heute…
