NEW: Crypto critic @molly0xfff received emails from a purported lawyer and someone working for a “reputation management company” offering bribes in exchange for the takedown of a blog post about the arrest of an alleged crypto fraudster.
The purported lawyer used a blog post made on a website apparently populated with the use of a service that offers "SEO optimized human-like content” using AI, claiming White infringed copyright.
White declined.

Hello everyone, I made an audio recording of The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas by Ursula K. Le Guin for a friend.
I've licensed the audio to the public domain, so if you want to listen to it, or remix it, or use it in a thing, go nuts. (Note: the text itself is under copyright, see replies to this post for licensing contact if you have commercial requirements.)
I'm still working on my voice acting and narration, but I think it came out well. (And if you require this voice, please note that I need money and you can hire me to read things for you.)
You can read the story in text at:

Download it from theos-cloud.eu/index.php/s/Xys…

Hello. Thought your friend and anyone else would enjoy a bit of an improvement, it's closer to a studio sound now. A very nice reading, reminds me a bit of Sophie Aldred at times. ENjoy!
The Flac format (as I have added some replicated high frequencies that the mp3 encoder threw away) can be downloaded from MediaFire here

@erion Thank you so much, Sophie Aldred is one of my favourite narrators, so I may unconsciously mimic some of her style.
And thank you for working on the track. if you'd like to put your production chops into further practice, here's a FLAC of my original WAV file (with minimal cleaning and noise reduction - I have an uncleaned version available as well).

You are most welcome, glad I could help.
Sure, I'll do a revised version, no problem. For best results, the original, unprocessed recording (flac or wav) would be fantastic if you don't mind posting it. The one I posted has some noise reduction artifacts that were not easily correctable from the original mp3 unfortunately.
@erion Here's one with no attempt to ameliorate the sound or erase noise. I've left a few seconds of ambient room noise (most egregiously a computer fan) at the end.

Brilliant, thank you very much. I'll post it when it's ready, shouldn't take too long.
No worries, this can be definitely salvaged ☺️

I donated to @glyph and co's #SuperSwingDistricts slate. Properly resourcing state-level candidates increases the chance that voters in important swing districts might actually get to meet someone they're going to vote for, or be persuaded to show up and vote for something that matters to their local community.

Op vrijdag 22 november (13u30) en zaterdag 23 november (11u) organiseer ik een wandeling vanuit de Krook in #Gent waar we met #OpenStreetMap en @MapComplete bewakingscamera's in kaart gaan brengen.
Na een korte uitleg gaat iedereen een eigen kant op, op zoek naar camera's.
Dit past binnen mutationfest.be/program

AWESOME new @kagihq update:
For ex: I want to look at the #OpenStreetMap wiki page for (power) sockets.
Previously you could do search like this:
socket !osmwiki
this would bring you to wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Sp…
But if I know that the chance of the right page being the first result on #Kagi is high, I can just do:
socket @osmwiki !
then I land on: wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ke…:*
! is basically the Kagi equivalent of that google "i'm feeling lucky" feature from back in the day
@pietervdvn yeah Kagi is using the same ddg bang list but with some modifications.
instead of doing
!wosm <search>
I now will do
@wosm <search> !
which will put me on the first result Kagi finds. skipping having to click on the osmwiki search results first.
In my example, doing
!wosm socket
would land me on the search results page on the wiki
but
@wosm socket !
would land me directly on the key:socket page
