(2/2) eventful day. 6 RBs we had to fix, some failed. The Trixie upgrade to one of our builders temporarily disabled it, took us half a day to find and fix the culprits. I'm a zombie now…

3 unmaintained apps were removed:

* M17 HT: almost no downloads anyway
* Mobilinkd TNC Config: incl. Tracking; and almost no downloads
* The Particulate Matter App: dead since 2021, and reported crashing; NonFreeDep+Tracking

More another day, please excuse me for now…

Last week, I started an Ableton Move track. Today, I finally finished it.

This is a thing I call "Fly on the Wall." Basically, I just wanted an excuse to use one of the Sliced Loops presets, which are in the latest Move beta, along with one of the new autofilters in combination with a second filter and LFO to make one of the included single-sample E-piano patches sound less boring.

We released version 0.12.1 of #nheko! This release includes a few security fixes around html escaping into the UI and properly attaching a mark of the web on Windows. I highly recommend you upgrade!

This release also takes the first steps to room version 12 compatibility regarding the upcoming #matrix security release.

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.

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.

in reply to Hubert Figuière

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.

in reply to Hubert Figuière

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).

Received one of the #GameAndWatch Super #Mario Bros. handhelds yesterday. The controls felt pretty good and the display was nice and bright. I'm surprised at how light it is, though.

Yep, just look at their "members" page: linuxfoundation.org/about/memb…
Among the top "platinum" corporate members are Microsoft and Meta. The Linux Foundation is funded by wealthy corporations that are absolutely NOT on our side. All the big corporations that gather our data for nefarious purposes including giving it to the government on request are on this page.

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.

No, můžete si pustit, jak to dopadlo 😆 Dělal jsem to týdny a týdny.

Prozkoumám, díky za tip. Akorát se obávám, že bych potřeboval něco jako „když se na to kouká člověk na stránce, tak nechť se to bez cookies vloží z VHSek, ale když si to bude chtít rozkliknout do separátního tabu, nechť je to na YouTube, protože tam se to bude víc šířit“. Jsem malej pán, abych přesvědčením porazil algoritmy Big Tech, potřebuju reálný marketing a organický dosah.

@sesivany @schmaker IG je už prakticky jen o krátkých videích, takže Meta je tam taky silný hráč. To už máš tři, a YT Shorts mi v tomhle přijdou vlastně nejslabší a těží především z toho, že je to all-in-one platforma, takže pokud nechci dělat obsah pro deset sítí, vyberu si YT, jelikož má nejširší cílovku a udělám tam jak krátké, tak dlouhé, tak i streamované video. Ale nejsem expert, @zbiejczuk by měl asi hodnotnější dojmy nebo data.
in reply to Honza Javorek

@sesivany @schmaker spíš můžu nabídnout dojmy než data; ve streamování je tady pak Twitch (což je ovšem taky BigTech, co si budem). u YT je ovšem ještě jedna podstatná věc / výhoda: a tím je to, že to je po Googlu (sic!) druhý největší vyhledavač a ta videa tam umístěná mohou na rozdíl od TikToku a IG získávat hromady views v mnohem delším časovém horizontu. A další "kartou" pro Shorts je to, že dost rodičů zakáže dětem IG a TikTok, ale YT málokdo.
in reply to Jiří Eischmann

@sesivany @schmaker Jinak dělat věci tím správným způsobem je milé a snažím se hodně, ale jestli můj byznys jednou zkrachuje, bude to z 80 % kvůli této snaze. Nepoužívám reklamy, netrackuju lidi, neotravuju je… Ale pak taky pro spoustu lidí neexistuju. Dělat věci podle srdíčka je luxus. A já už si musím vybírat bitvy, protože doba je zlá.
in reply to Honza Javorek

@schmaker Chápu. Mě živí korporát, takže k tomu můžu mít čistě altruistický přístup. Jinak nikdo nikoho nenutí odcházet z YouTube. Velká pomoc je už jen to, že to člověk nahraje vedle toho do nějaké alternativy. Škoda, že nefunguje spolehlivě ten automatický sync z YT na PeerTube. Google se tomu aktivně brání, takže to je pořád rozbité.
in reply to Jiří Eischmann

Čemu se brání? Já kdybych měl jeden CLI příkaz, který ručně pustím ze své domácí IP adresy, a který mi zkontroluje YT kanál a co mi chybí na PeerTube kanálu přesype pomocí yt-dlp, tak je to minimální effort na mé straně a klidně to udělám. Nemusí to být přece všechno 100% automatické. Takhle od houpací sítě mi přijde, že to je jeden bash loop nebo tak něco. Nechcete to někdo navibekódit? 😆
This entry was edited (4 months ago)
in reply to Honza Javorek

@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.

Ale talk is cheap. Kdybys s tím úvodním přesunem videí chtěl pomoct, tak řekni. Buď to udělám manuálně, nebo bych zkusil vymyslet něco automatického.

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
