Thank you for that detailed video description, I had no idea the platters on record cutters were thicker and made of concrete. Also wow you can really clearly hear the audio being cut.
@pitermach well, they're not all made of concrete, but mine is. It's just the easiest and cheapest way to make something big and heavy in a custom shape. The old Neumann lathes had huge cast iron platters but that's kinda hard to DIY…
We've just become aware of a resource written for those who are #Blind and seeking employment. The person who told us about it says: "you can either read it directly on the webpage, or there is an accessible word document and I believe and accessible PDF. The author is blind, so he certainly did his best to make sure the book was accessible as possible to anyone who wanted to use it." Find it here: respectability.org/people-with…
L'arrestation hier soir du patron de #Telegram à Paris permet de rappeler une fois encore que Telegram, malgré les offensives marketing régulières de l'entreprise, n'est pas une messagerie sécurisée.
Je sais bien tout ça. C'est d'ailleurs à moitié faux (les messages peuvent être chiffrés de bout en bout et les calls le sont par défaut). Donc oui il y a sans doute plus secure pour ceux qui veulent avoir des activités criminelles, mais Telegram dérange, contrairement à Signal par exemple. Et la raison qui me semble la plus credible c'est qu'ils refusent de fournir les clés de déchiffrement pour le mainstream (que du coup seul TG est capable éventuellement de processer).
Les groupes ne sont pas chiffrés du tout, et c'est la source majeure de problèmes sur Telegram. Même pour le 1-on-1 ce n'est pas chiffré par défaut, ce qui est absolument dingue en 2024.

Was she AI generated? Some definite weird quirks on the speech there such as "share idees" and "Free softwahrr". Didn't seem like it was just an accent.
It looks like they want to include facial recognition as one of the options, but they insist that any solutions will need to take privacy into account.
I'm glad they're considering that, but I don't see any mention of relatively simple methods for fooling these systems, as discussed in this article (among others):
Allowing police officers to submit LLM-written reports reveals a remarkable misunderstanding of what LLMs do, a profound indifference to the notion of integrity in the communications of law enforcement with the justice system, or both.
Given how readily subject to suggestion human witnesses—including police officers—are known to be, this is a disaster.
Yes, police reports aren't always the most accurate, but introducing an additional layer of non-accountability is bad.
Police officers are starting to use artificial intelligence to help write crime reports. Pulling from the sounds of an officer's body camera, an AI tool based on the same technology as ChatGPT can churn out the first draft of an incident report in se…

I really enjoyed @yatil new article on WCAG levels. When the WCAG Guidelines were being created members tried to correlate the different levels (A, AA, AAA) based on how difficult they'd be to implement. It would be helpful if the standards within each level designation were checked again. The standards could be regrouped based on their current level of difficulty. Please check out the full article for more information. #accessibilityyatil.net/blog/wcags-a-and-aa-…

"La Ville de Beauharnois lui a envoyé deux avis de nuisances en juillet. Elle y indique avoir constaté lors d’inspections que « différents arbustes ne sont pas entretenus et poussent de manière désordonnée » sur son terrain."
"De son côté, M. Brossoit fait part de son incompréhension face à ces inspections, alors que de l’herbe à poux foisonne jusque sur la bordure du trottoir sur le terrain d’une résidence voisine."
Un citoyen pourrait devoir payer une amende de 200 $ à 2000 $ parce que les arbustes fruitiers de son jardin « poussent de manière désordonnée ». La Ville de Beauharnois lui a envoyé deux avis de « nuisances » à ce sujet.

and those that think we should build transit? Let's talk about the blue line extension in Montreal. I don't know how many decades they talked about it, but now they have barely started and are telling us they now need 7 years and a few more billions to build the 8 km extension with a handful of stations.
Not to mention the REM that for a few years has destroyed an important transit line...
This is more complex than governing for the lobbies. This is not only to entertain the local economy (feeding the local workers rather than these at the other end of the planet), but also to prevent dependence, dumping, takeovers.
But I hope that there will be incentives for local <25k$ cars; while a good portion of people could use active or collective transportation most of the time, we do need cars, sometimes, and we'd better use energy-efficient ones that don't suffocate our closed, non-infinite atmosphere.

Ah yes, I remember that Star Trek plotline where Kirk solved the infamous test by buying all the Holodecks in Starfleet, and making sure everyone's Period dramas and historical reenactments were filled with screaming Nazis and Ferengi Crypto merchants.

Heya everyone, I thought I posted this here last night, but apparently I didn't..
I regret to inform you that the Screen Shot Off The Record plugin that we linked to briefly was found to have a key logger and was sending screen shots to unwanted parties.
So if you have this plugin installed, you will want to remove it immediately.
I really like the idea of, instead of collaborating on a document via (for example) Google's servers and Google Docs, being able to have collaborators' computers talk to each other directly and share edits that way.
I really hope that "local-first" gains at least the sort of steam the FOSS movement has — as I've seen people comment, FOSS doesn't help if your computation is happening on someone else's computer.
Local first has some really gnarly problems that you pretty much need centralized servers to fix, one way or another. Direct connectivity between people isn't possible any more. THe fact that most people are on devices that heavily restrict background app activity to make the batteries actually last, the IPV4 shortage, lack of IPV6 adoption and CG NATS don't help either.
Isaac Hayes III posted on Sunday that ♦️Donald Trump and his campaign have been served in their #federal #lawsuit alleging 134 instances of #copyright #infringement.
Just like anyone else, ⚠️political campaigns are not allowed to use music for their own gain without permission or buying a license.
Since Trump has continued to violate the copyright of the Hayes estate, 🔸an emergency federal hearing was granted on September 3.
By choosing to disrespect the rights and work of others, Donald Trump is now forced to show up in federal civil court as the defendant in a case that could cost him millions of dollars.

Unfortunately, your New Features video is completely inaccessible to blind users since all I hear is music. There's no audio description or verbal narrative of any kind. Admittedly, you do have the transcript which is certainly accessible and it does help but at that point I'd rather just read the page containing more details about the new features.
