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

More people will die. This should be prohibited. And fought very very hard.
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).

Teď to bude trochu pracovní. Na výkrese se mi u kót předepisující rovinnost a rovnoběžnost objevil modifikátor CT (viz. obrázek). Ať hledám jak hledám, nemohu nikde najít výklad jeho funkce. Nesetkal jste se s tím někdo?

Tak, a je to venku! Ještě před pár měsíci jsem s videem neuměl nic. Teď jsem, po týdnech práce, dokázal dokončit tohle 💪
Účelem bylo vysvětlit, o čem klub je, a jak vypadá vevnitř, aby jeho hodnotu hned pochopili i lidi, co se do něj nepodívají.
Původní myšlenka byla natočit jen screencast jak chodím po Discordu, k tomu voiceover, možná k tomu přidat svou hlavu někde dole v kolečku.

@schmaker na yt-dlp je právě postavený ten sync, jenže kámen úrazu je v tom, že Google to neustále rozbíjí a člověk musí agresivně aktualizovat na nové verze yt-dlp, což v případě PeerTube by znamenalo, že bychom museli jet na vývojové verzi, což se nám úplně nechce.

The UK may be about to lose access to Wikipedia as they've lost their High Court Challenge to OSA.
You can download Wikipedia by installing the @kiwix app kiwix.org/en/applications/
Then use library.kiwix.org/ to find Wikipedia, or any other interesting book. It will download a file (Wikipedia is 110gb) that you can then open in the Kiwix browser

So I made a thing.
The vast majority of the time was spent in navigating guidelines around packaging and screenshots (and I probably still have bits of that wrong), and being less familiar with Codeberg than GH.
Fedinspect is expected to be more interesting for developers poking around at nodeinfo and federation and stuff, rather than generally. I learned a few fun fedi-related things while testing it anyway, though.
