Hey folks, time for the monthly open Q&A. "I'm Perplexed, What's Next"
This meet-up will happen Saturday 24th June, 8PM UK, 3PM Eastern.
This is the session where you can ask Scott and JennyK questions about #REAPER, #OSARA, or pretty much anything around #accessible recording. Newcomers with questions always get top priority, so drop in and tell us about what's tripping you up. We'll spend a couple of hours helping as many as we can.

As long as there is coffee in the JennyK lair and hopefully a shay holding down the fort on YouTube it will be another great Q&A. :D
Read all the details, find tips and tricks to tweak TeamTalk so it behaves, and more at reaperteacher.com
See ya Saturday.

On Sept 12, 1952, Dr Ewan Forbes-Semphill, known as "Benji" to his family, officially changed his legal gender following the simple process of requesting a warrant for birth re-registration from the Sheriff of Aberdeen and registering himself as male. He then announced this in the Aberdeen Press and Journal. His patients were almost universally supportive, having known this was coming for some time. Ewan was equally candid with the press, saying it was "a ghastly mistake. I was carelessly registered as a girl in the first place... the doctors in those days were mistaken." A month later he married Isabella Mitchell.

Everything was fine until 1965, when his eldest brother died. With no sons, the noble title of Baron, along with a sizeable estate, would pass to the first male heir. Ewan's cousin John disputed the inheritance on the grounds that Ewan's re-registration was invalid. A long legal battle ensued, eventually resulting in a ruling by the Home Secretary in favor of Ewan.

A bit last minute, but I have applied for the GNOME Foundation Board 2023 election to work on

• decentralize the GNOME in-person conference to make it more resilient and accessible

• explore opportunities to fund strategic and critical development on the GNOME project (core components, a11y, …)

If you're a GNOME foundation member, you can support my candidacy by leaving a comment on Discourse.

Voting will start 22-06-2023

We were very happy when we heart that the XMPP-based cheogram.com/ experimentally adopted webxdc.org -- so that the same web apps run on Cheogram and Delta Chat. We started communicating with Cheogram's main dev through matterbridge in a group chat about upcoming webxdc improvements ... #interoperability ftw :)

Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO, has made headlines by calling for regulating AI due to the high risk to humanity.

In private, he got the EU to remove OpenAI’s technology from the high risk category of their upcoming regulations.

Perfectly played. 🧑‍🍳😙🤌

“And yet falsely claiming to be a human through online interaction could/should be seen as a manifestation of false and misleading advertising under the Competition Act. Chatbots should be clearly labelled, too. They should not be able to masquerade as humans.

Synthetic media is super similar. If we are to consider consuming stuff conjured by artificial intelligence, we should be able to know what made it.” A+ piece from Vass Bendar: regs2riches.com/p/what-tech-po… #AI #techpolicy #GCdigital

#AudioMo
On March 23, 2016, my partner and I were staying at a hotel in Stroudsberg, PA with an enclosed in-suite pool, which was only about three feet deep.
Around 2:30 AM, I couldn't sleep, so I put on a set of microphones and hung out there for a little while.
Recorded (very carefully) with an Olympus LS-14 and a pair of Sound Professionals MS-BMC3 microphones on sunglasses.
Sorry for the transcoding badness. Mastodon does that.

We actually have one of those (not exact same model but similar), and it's amazing. It has a bunch of different coffee "recipies" selectable through the worst touch screen ever animated in 4fps, and then you can give it wifi access to connect to a coffeeWorld account and download like... one additional coffee recipe.

The coffee is pretty good though.

Let's go back to Disneyland for today's #AudioMo and take a ride on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Two things about this recording. Thing 1: it's so cool to hear the sounds the coaster makes as it's going up and down its various drops. Thing 2: The poor guy at the beginning of this recording had no idea what he was getting himself into. lol.

#AudioMo for today the 19th of #June. recorded the #sound of our drier. this is a long #recording so feel free to fast forward if you want. listen to the machine as it revs up to its full power. I don't know but when I listen to this, it reminds me on the sound of my #first #Flight. it sounds like an #Airplane taking off but then losing its power. for the record, on my first flight, the plane did not lose its power. haha! enjoy!
