I always wanted a trashcan Mac Pro, so I found a 12-core one with 64GB of RAM. And, it's great, but I can't come close to stressing its memory capacity. Any ideas?

I may have to resort to desperate measures and start up a single Slack desktop instance.

People who are into โ€œAccessible PDFsโ€ will say โ€œyou can add a hidden structure to your PDF, so screen reader users can read themโ€. Which is like only the smallest slice of what makes something accessible. Itโ€™s the โ€œthere is an elevator at the back that gives you access through the kitchen and the toilet is on another floor in another buildingโ€ of digital accessibility.

On Tuesday 1 October 2024, the UK will become the first major economy to stop using coal to produce electricity, when the last of its coal-fired power stations closes:

On some level, do you ever stop wanting those who have wronged you to fall on their reched knees before you and beg for forgiveness? We just get really good at covering it up. Just me?

If it's the same situation I have, I think they find it difficult to understand or to accept they have done anything wrong.

The other day I referenced a recent controversial thread, "fedi is for losers," that outlined the ways fedi folk are societal outliers. I gravitated here, eagerly, because it lines up with my values. I feel more estranged from my society than ever. I just came from Insta. Pop culture & consumerism. Any thought that takes longer than 5 seconds is dull. I spent a day last week with a friend & noticed how much of their daily life revolves around purchasing/acquisition (mostly to be forgotten). ๐Ÿ˜ซ

Would the copyright in question be due to John Cage? 4 minutes 33 seconds for solo piano?

Does WhatsApp for desktop literally ever stay linked? Even when you link with phone number, it seems it will always eventually just go unexpected error, please link again with the QR code from your phone, and sign me out. Piece of shit.

Migrating from @gajim apt to flatpak release. Do this so you don't loose encryption and history.

Migrate your data
When switching to Flatpak you might want to migrate your user data (accounts, history, ...) from your previous installation. Just copy your user data from/to the following directories:
Copy ~/.local/share/gajim -> ~/.var/app/org.gajim.Gajim/data/gajim
Copy ~/.config/gajim -> ~/.var/app/org.gajim.Gajim/config/gajim

/via dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/treeโ€ฆ

Massive E-Learning Platform #Udemy Gave Teachers a Gen #AI 'Opt-Out Window'. It's Already Over.

Udemy will train generative AI on classes developed/users contributed on its site. It is opt-out (meaning, everyone was already opted in) with a time window... and opting out may "affect course visibility and potential earnings."

Udemy's reason for the opt-out window was reportedly because removing data from LLMs is hard. IMO, that would be the reason for making it opt-in, but here we are...

I appreciate XFinity for not doing outages in a row whilst I was delivering our 1-hour presentation as a team, but doing a string of them since about noon is playing cruel tricks on unsuspecting folks who are talking, say, during a Slack huddle and not realizing my net gave up its soul in the middle of that process. Huge thanks there, just, really fun.

Been testing the new O1-preview GPT model OpenAI has for simple accessibility questions, just explaining concepts that help me in my own responses for messages to colleagues for example. On average, it'll say "thought for 10 seconds" on them, sometimes 11. If you nudge it to think of nuances to the question or problem at hand, it does a lot better and superbly without needing later corrections to what it said because it thought of it without as much detail in the past. Love this.

Not saying it's the magic bullet that solves all output of the AI to not contain accessibility issues or errors, because I do think that's a bit far-cry unless it was prompted well, but it's improving, and at the very least it might avoid more common-found mistakes like color alone or using contrasting colors in general. That's my hope anyway.
