Last Notes npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ @npub1d4a…n3jx is my own personal hero, even though we've barely ever even talked. Everyone working on Plasma Mobile has done an amazing job with so little beyond the string fundamentals from Plasma Desktop, though. npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ Hmmm... npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ If it were actual science, Trump would have banned it by now. npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ I love how the literal biggest name on that lineup is Bernie Sanders with his hit single "Fighting Oligarchy" npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ I thought there was a way to have Peertube generate the subtitles with Whisper? Not to say yours wouldn't be superior, but possibly auto-generated might be less effort... npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ It's funny how much of financial institutions investing success, boils down to the old adage "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ Wot? You DON'T want to take guaranteed losses (fees), for only a potential upside (gains in value minus fees taken) while we take no risk and guaranteed profits (fees)? npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ Remember reading about how the Nazis used to advocate judging people based on measurements of their face and head, and everyone agreed that was batshit crazy and just plain wrong? npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ Phrenology never died. It just became LLM training material. 🙄 npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ Personally I found that one of the biggest factors causing me problems was nearly invisible, and that was my servers IP address. npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ The difference between @npub1pl0…qn57 and @npub1qgm…yd0f ? npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ It's funny, but almost all of the mobile Linux photos I see, only with some Librem5 stuff, all seem to have quite serious vignetting (ie bright in thr center, getting darker towards the corners/edges). npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ Does this still work now? npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ > If you could share an opinion, resource or idea with a bunch of very dedicated teachers about AI what might it be? npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ 3. Reaction npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ 4. Spritely Oaken npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ 5. Empowering Mobilizon npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ @npub1dk0…k0wd just dropped the list of funded projects, and there's some bangers this year!: npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ Financing Peertube channels with Value For Value boosts / sat streaming: npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ Thanks for sharing these. There's some really interesting nuggets in there such as Mobile NixOS! I still haven't actually *tried* NIX yet, but it's interesting to read about, and I love the idea of it for the phone, with the ability to swap out different parts like the desktop environment with a clear, safe, easy path to rollback when things break. npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ Without having read the linked article, it seems very weird to define a "superfan" as someone who now hates something? npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ While I agree that this definitely should *not* have been handled this way, before anyone gets all fired up and dogpiles on, it's worth first reading how they intend to fix this: npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ So... #Signal and #Wire, which both have issues, but not #Matrix / #XMPP? And for video, 2 #YouTube front ends and a proprietary YouTube clone, but no direct mention of #Peertube? And for Translation, the proprietary #Deepl, but no mention of the local and #Privacy respecting #Firefox #translate npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ I get that listening to the same song can be comforting, familiar and useful to certain nuerospicy people. How is the same thing on repeat free dopamine though? Isn't dopamine released by novelty and anticipation? npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ Ok, so this is very early stage but cool: npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ Yum! What are they stuffed with? npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ Very disappointed to see that ComfortZone.com is just a "proving calming solutions for cats". npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ Please @npub1j3e…5635 ,put these on Peertube. npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ Kind of ironic that there's no #Peertube link there... npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ 5:15am bedtime for me last night. Ugh. npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ Delayed circadian rhythms are REAL. npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ You can see what apps currently support Podcasting 2.0, and which features over here: npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ Absolutely. Some form of non-advertising based monetization, really is crucial. A federated Patreon would be a fabulous step forward, especially if it could incorporate podcasting 2.0 style SAT streaming. High friction one off donations will only ever get a project so far. npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ No idea what I'm looking at here, other than a Fedora log in screen... npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ You may need to provide a benefit to bandwidth providers if the network started getting saturated though. Non financial/vanity, so it didn't encourage fraud, but maybe something like badges when commenting, based on what percentile they were in for providing community bandwidth. npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ I'd love to see an official *Desktop* Peertube app, with video viewing, commenting and uploading functionality, but also with a single configuration click that let people automatically seed Peertube videos from their desktop. npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ Agreed. I feel like a big part of the problem though is lack of content, mainly because of people not wanting to take on the cost of video hosting. That could be a solvable issue though if we make use of the opportunity of the many users who would happily help provide storage and bandwidth if it was dirt simple, easy. npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ Likewise with Microsoft and Windows Phone 😂 npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ Is anyone known to be working on @npub1vnu…8mqn npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ Cool, thanks! Fascinating to see #postmarketOS continuing to make inroads towards fully mainlining hardware not specifically designed to run Linux (eg the Pixel3A) as well as what's happening with PlasmaMobile and Phosh! Glowup also looks really cool, although it would be nice to actually have it potentially do it's thing directly from one of the camera apps. npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ Have you taken a look at @npub12r3…zz58 ? They've taken a strong pro-FOSS stance similar to that of postmarketOS and they're also actively working on bringing source management to the Fediverse (and vice versa). I believe they have a web interface for commenting etc, as pmOS was wanting from SourceHut. npub14a35d063w95nxz6hmt3fav8h7j7svxl5ckh0t2wewxs7ts7a7fdq0yhg6r Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️ Would it help mobile Linux to have more apps? What about a FOSS Linux app in a popular category we have NOTHING for now?
