Just before the #TactileReading conference, @ChanceyFleet and I took a little stroll through the lively streets of #Amsterdam. I recorded with my Meta glasses while she guided us and captured our commentary, interactions, me almost getting nailed by a bike, and just the overall #Blind travel experience. I cut the whole thing together with Terminal/ffmpeg, added captions, and hosted it. If you have 6 minutes to spare, pop on some headphones and enjoy our adventure! marconius.com/amsterdam/

@menelion I played the clips back in VLC and took note of the times where I wanted to trim the clips, then just used ffmpeg commands in Terminal to output the trimmed sections as their own video files. I write out a list of the order I wanted the clips to be put together, then run another command to turn them all into one final cut based on that text file. I can also add effects, potentially add audio, filters, and more, just need to keep playing with it. works great with TDSR.

When the AI bubble bursts, the tech industry will have reached the end of its decades long growth cycle, and will accept its role as a legacy industry at the same level of the auto industry, construction industry, hospitality industry or many other industries.

Microsoft, Google, Apple, Amazon and other Big Tech-companies will still exist due to them already being embedded in our economies, but they will finally stop trying to hype up new technologies, because there is no ‘next big thing’.

Trump's probably like "hear me out guys, what if instead of giving them legal status we just make them property of the farmers, right? Nobody has ever tried this before, it's genius"

Happy National Indigenous Peoples Day everyone.

Here is a view of the mighty Attawapiskat River - the lifeblood of my home community on the James Bay coast.

#AudioMo day 19: Sorry for my absence, we were on vacation but unfortunately didn't get the chance to really record anything to put here. So now I'm pulling things up from the archives. This here is a ringtone I made in 2020 called Unify, inspired by a patch from Soundspot's Union called "Big Pants Lead," which I'm using as the chord patch here. For how simple it is, just the chords, a bass and some drums, all pretty basic, this thing is ridiculously catchy IMO. My mom still uses this as her phone's ringtone to this day.
You can get this ringtone for yourself, in iPhone or Android format, at x0box.xyz/uploads/ringtones

#AudioMo day 20: More ringtones! This one was made in March of 2021 and is called On The Move. It was also inspired by a sound, namely the bass patch, which is a modified version of the Phat Funk patch from the Korg Arp Odyssey plug-in. I was playing with it and came up with this bassline. This one has two versions. The original version of it had no arp stabs and no lead. When I was later advised to add those, I made a lite version, which includes the arp stabs but mutes the lead, which you hear first. Then you hear the regular version. Both of these can be found for iOS and Android at x0box.xyz/uploads/ringtones

V Jedno Kafe, nejlepsi kavarne pro eurootce a euromatky, dneskem konci jedna era. Odchazi jejich nejlepsi barista, ktery ne-palacovou pobocku dost tahnul. Kavovym i socialnim skilem.

V kavovo-barovem svete Liberce to neni vyjimka. V provozech s nutnosti vysoke kvalifikace, hipsterske kavarny a bary, se toci personal dost casto. A dost casto z podobnych duvodu.

Zajimalo by me, jestli je to nutnost. Jestli majitele, aby neco vydelali, potrebuji "vecne brigadnictvo" a neni tam vubec zadna cesta profesniho i financniho rustu pro personal. Pak se scena trochu zatrese. Hipsterstvo se v protestu presune do konkurencnich podniku a jede se dalsi kolo.

Jednou si to chci vyzkouset a provozovat vlastni podnik. Jestli se mi povede dlouhodobe udrzet kvalitni personal, tak se k tomuhle postu a uvaham vratim.

Goods news everyone: Nachdem ich die Tage ziemlich am Limit laufe, und ehrlich gesagt bis heute Nachmittag nicht wusste, ob ich morgen den Vortrag halten kann, nun gute Neuigkeiten: Der Vortrag ist fertig, ich denke der passt auch, und wir sollten sogar ein paar Minuten für Fragen danach haben.

Ich freu mich auf euch! (also, morgen dann, 12:30 im ZKM Kubus)

Jsme zase na #BehejLesy s @maptiler.bsky.social

začínáme za chvíli, 220km v osmi lidech

Nálada v týmu je pesimistická, přes rok jsme moc netrenovali a největší tahouni týmu se neúčastní.

Pokud každý z nás nabere ztrátu oproti loňsku 1min/km, bude nám to trvat o 3 hodiny dýl.

A protože jsme se na oficiální mapu nemohli dívat, udělali jsme si vlastní

Eagle-eyed product developer @parkerortolani spotted something in Apple's WWDC 2025 presentation: Mastodon. During designer Billy Sorrentino's section on visual intelligence, there's a clear shot of @ivory. "It was clearly both a way to subtly show developers what they can do with their own apps, but also read as a sort of endorsement of Mastodon as a social platform," Ortolani writes on his blog. "Apple didn’t show Bluesky, Threads, or X. They chose to show a third-party Mastodon client."

There is a new list on Groups.io dedicated to the discussion of Braille embossers.
The following is taken from a message sent from Seeing Hands to the Braille Display Users list.

"Since they are considered off-topic for this list but we've had a few threads about them in the last month, I have started a group on groups.io for discussing and offering support with Braille embossers. I imagine it would be quite similar to this list, only with a focus on Braille on paper instead of displays. You can subscribe to this list at:
groups.io/g/braille-embossers
or by sending email to:
braille-embossers+subscribe@groups.io
