Just been blown away by how good Narrator and Live Captions are on Windows and it makes me even angrier that they aren’t just building an OS but an ad-and-AI infested surveillance nightmare. Mainly because it shows, yet again, what we could achieve in technology if everything wasn’t tied to a toxic business model and a suicidal system of perpetual growth with finite resources.
This should also shame the Linux folks (not volunteers, multi-billion/trillion-dollar corporations who profit from it).
If you want Live Captions on Linux, check out https://github.com/abb128/LiveCaptions – you can also find it on Flathub and it works splendidly and, unlike the Windows version, it automatically saves a transcript. This is perfect for making your live streams and videos more accessible. And it’s free and open source.
Ismo is a comedian from my home town, Jyväskylä, Finland. Couple of years ago he made a breakthrough in the US when he got to perform at Late Night with Conan O'Brien.
Ismo’s jokes are literal (often Leslie Nielsen type of stupid-literal-dad-joke level stuff), witty, he rarely uses any profanity in his stuff. Most of all he doesn’t do politics or offensive stuff, he does not need it. He loves to play with words and fuck with the American people. The funniest thing is, in Finland he also has the same setlist, just the words are different, it works surprisingly well in the world as well.
Ismo is unique and truly funny, I often laugh to him just seeing him talk. I mean really, I’ve seen him talking in the morning TV and not even trying to be funny and I still laugh my ass off. If you literally want to laugh your ASS word while getting your mind blown with the world ASS, watch this.
How to diagnose the cause of turn signals that won't blink, or just stay on, and replace burnt out blinker bulbs on a naked 1980 Honda Goldwing GL1100.
Welcome to the November edition of #PHP Annotated! In it, we look back over some of the most interesting developments in the PHP community during the past month, featuring handpicked #news, articles, #tools, and #videos.
For those who didn't know (or have forgotten), there's a PeerTube channel here with videos of the talks and Q&A sessions from the #ActivityPub conference we had in late 2020: https://conf.tube/c/apconf_channel/videos
Picking through these videos is a great way to get a sense of where some of us wanted fediverse development to go, both technically and politically.
Happy 89th birthday to Brooklyn-native and #TKSST fave Carl Sagan, who taught us a thing or two about the #cosmos, in words everyone could understand 🌌
Here are some of our favorite #videos featuring the legendary astronomer, who died in 1996:
I'm testing #PeerTube after a while for light integration with #Libervia and really pleased with what I see! Clean UI, lots of features, easy to use - great work by @Chocobozzz, @Framasoft, and the entire contributing team. Plus, there are a ton of plugins available! I'll be exploring the API to see if deeper integration is possible, it would be neat. #selfhosted#XMPP#videos
SIGN: REMOVE HORRIFIC BABY MONKEY TORTURE GROUPS FROM TELEGRAM
By Emily Raap
This is a joint campaign by Lady Freethinker and Action for Primates.
Videos showing extreme cruelty to baby monkeys are spreading rapidly on social media – especially Telegram, a popular encrypted messaging service.
In 2021, Lady Freethinker published a report in partnership with Action for Primates on one of the first big private monkey hater groups on Telegram – Milliontears.
An anonymous source shared videos and screenshots of chats from group members, who claim to have paid for #macaques, including babies, to be abused, tortured, and killed on camera.
In another group called #ApesCage, videos showed baby #monkeys being put into blenders, drilled with power tools, and deliberately drowned, while users voted on which weapons they wanted used on monkeys in future #videos.
The Buchanites Part One: The Woman Clothed in Sun
The Buchanites were a Christian Sect led by the charismatic Elspeth Buchan in the late 18th and early 19th Century Scotland.
The Buchanites settled at Buchan Hall on the land of New Cample Farm and had lived here for almost 3 and a half years waiting for Armageddon to come. When a strange voice was heard speaking from the clouds one midnight, Elspeth concluded that her followers needed to purify themselves and instituted a 40 day fast.
The Solway Coast of Galloway is long, rugged and treacherous. Many ships have met their end between it and Northern Ireland , but the greatest tragedy, the largest loss of life in peacetime UK waters, happened to The Princess Victoria. During the Great Storm of 1953, she left Stranraer for the last time.
This is part one of her story, part 2 will pop up for you at the end.
"At least 85 journalists and media workers, such as interpreters and support staff, have been killed over four months of war in the Middle East, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. The rate, about five a week, is the highest since the CPJ began keeping global records over 30 years ago. All but seven of them were Palestinians killed in Israel’s war in Gaza." #GiftArticle#GiftLink https://wapo.st/3UI2yFQ
"The CPJ said it is investigating the circumstances surrounding the killings of so many #journalists. But these inquiries are constrained by the lack of access to #Gaza, the large number of cases... & the killing of some family members of journalists, who would have been key witnesses...
