Finished a long overdue rewatch of the whole series of Battlestar Galactica. It’s been ten years since the last time, and 16 since the end of the series, and it has aged like fine wine.
Also: Daybreak is one of the greatest series finales of all time, and if you didn’t like it then you have bad taste. I’m sorry, I don’t make the rules.

tl;dr they can't figure out how to extort the money for the Opus Card where people need it. IT fail, once again.

If you'd like to get enraged with me about genAI and Suno/Warner, here -- enjoy! I've got the angry rant waiting, like so much Thanksgiving stuffing (jeez i need to cut back on the USA references here -- I'm sorry!)

It's Lucy and the football time with the music industry. Having led artists into a complete disaster with streaming, they seem poised to do it again, on a grander scale, with generative AI.Peter Kirn (CDM Create Digital Music)

And wow -- it means WMG gives up as far as their own artists getting incorporated into training data. And that's not opt in. But sure, if you want to make things worse, maybe you'd like Suno to offer your AI clone on their platform!
Sounds like an especially good idea while the planet is on fire.

Trump’s Immigration Forces Deploy “Less Lethal” Weapons in Dangerous Ways, Skirting Rules and Maiming Protesters
---
Civil rights and weapons experts cite the consequences of federal agents’ use of crowd control weapons: religious leaders shot with pepper balls and noxious chemicals. A nurse nearly blinded by tear gas. Protestors trapped, struggling to breathe.

I added a new CI check to Drum Machine, it now automatically checks if the .pot translation template file is up to date. If I forget to regenerate it after adding/changing translatable strings (which I usually do), it reminds me :D
You can add it to your own projects as well, just copy the translation-check job from the workflow file and change the paths!

Der Verband "Die Familienunternehmer" steht nach eigenen Abgaben für etwa 6500 familiengeführte Unternehmen in Deutschland. Nachdem sich die Führungsspitze öffentlich für Gespräche mit der AfD ausgesprochen hat, ziehen erste Mitglieder Konsequenzen.Ingo Rentz (Lebensmittel Zeitung)
Seit ich heute morgen von einem unserer Politkarrieristen was von „kultureller Identität“ gelesen habe, um die unsere Gesellschaft angeblich unermüdlich ringt, lässt mich das – nachdem ich meine spontan aufsteigende Wut willkommen geheißen hatte, wie sich das für therapiegestählte Dinosaurierdamen gehört – gedanklich nicht mehr los und ich werde meine Überlegungen jetzt einfach mal wie eine Gebäckschale in den Raum stellen.

когда ты едешь в лондон и тебя незнакомый человек спрашивает - откуда ты - ты размышляешь что сказать - «из Израиля» - чтобы тебя ненавидели за газу или «из россии» - чтобы тебя ненавидели за Украину
когда ты едешь в Бангалор и тебя незнакомый человек спрашивает - откуда ты - ты гордо говоришь «из Израиля» и в ответ слышишь на всю улицу «Фак, фак палестайн»
Видимо непосредственная близость к самой миролюбивой религии перебивает даже антиколониальное прошлое.
Has anyone here ever used a headband for mounting microphones for use in a Quasi-binaural recording setup?
I've used glasses for years, but I kind of want to try something different with these LOM Audio mikroUši microphones I just got for those times when I don't want to just do the clip it to your shirt thing.

Sonic Onslaught is canceled as @nick is being pulled in several different directions and has literally no time to think of what a show might look like. He apologizes for this.
Instead, enjoy the U87 comparison video he was involved in making.

to my #Blind friends, anyone has an experience with Logitech MX keys mini? is the software to customize settings accessible? i have to buy this keyboard because the down arrow on my laptop decided that he does not want to stay with it anymore. sadly, if you're a screen reader user, losing one key means losing all control.
Demand real art from real artists.
I don't even mean you should only like "good" art. I just mean we should expect human intention in all the media we interact with, & we should give no attention to the artifacts of soullessly produced "content".
If I can't see a person behind the art, I don't even know why I care. It's fascinating to watch a person make music. It's fascinating even simply listening to a recording of them. Somehow, in some way, that person is sharing something.
I love animation because in some ways it's the best way to see animators just throwing in whatever touches they felt were right, putting a little bit of themselves in there, even if "just" doing backgrounds or something like that.
If it didn't come from a mind, what is the point? What do I get from looking at something that doesn't mean anything to anyone?
I watched a video of a man playing Ave Maria on rubber chickens & thought to myself "the ONLY reason this is interesting is because a real person took the time to do that."
It was kind of fun to watch, but if it had been an AI generated clip, there would have been nothing interesting about it. The interesting thing was that someone made it.
