@rysiek @brie @robert_wolniak @mkljczk I jeszcze jedna kwestia: mam też poczucie, że stawianie często nierealistycznych wymagań odbiorcom/użytkownikom/konsumentom nie przynosi ostatecznie jakichś pozytywnych skutków. Bo jakie niby przynosi?
Oczekiwanie, że użytkownik będzie wszystko wiedział o produkcie/firmie/platformie i na tej podstawie podejmował decyzje (korzystać/nie korzystać itd.) jest nie zrealizowania. Po prostu. No i nie da się żyć w takim świecie, w którym jest się obarczonym tak wielką odpowiedzialnością za swoje decyzje, które dotyczą korzystania z jakiegoś medium, czy zakupu jakiegoś produktu.

W historycznej sali sądu w Poznaniu, gdzie odbywały się procesy robotników w 1956 roku, zaczął się właśnie największy od czasów PRL proces polityczny.
32 osoby, które w październiku 2020 protestowały przeciwko stanowisku kościoła rzymskokatolickiego w sprawie praw kobiet, stają dziś przed sądem, oskarżone o złośliwe zakłócanie praktyk religijnych.
Przed budynkiem sądu odbyła się spontaniczna pikieta solidarnościowa, która zebrała liczne grono osób z różnych środowisk.

Rising sea levels through AGW are a preemptive strike against georgists taking everything over and instituting LVT – "if you tax something, you get less of it"

"Zespół naukowców pod kierunkiem prof. dr hab. Dariusza Jemielniaka z Akademii Leona Koźmińskiego wykorzystał możliwości, jakie daje internet, do zbadania trafności „prawa Godwina“ w praktyce. Przebadał blisko 199 milionów konwersacji na Reddicie (uważanym za największą platformę poświęconą dyskusjom ) i pokazał, że w dającej się analizować rzeczywistości prawo Godwina (analogii do Hitlera) nie działa."

NFT in polands are wild.

An engineer, a physicist and a mathematician find themselves in a joke, indeed a joke quite similar to many that you have no doubt already heard.

After some observations and rough calculations the engineer realizes the situation and starts laughing.

A few minutes later the physicist understands too and chuckles to himself happily as he now has enough experimental evidence to publish a paper.

This leaves the mathematician somewhat perplexed, as he had observed right away that he was the subject of a joke, and deduced quite rapidly the presence of humour from similar jokes, but considers this joke to be too trivial a corollary to be significant, let alone funny.

this reminded me of a joke website idea I had a while ago, where, if vivaldi's four seasons were to be stretched out across an entire year, which note would be playing

@chjara @Paradox You just need running water. Fluid dynamics is Turing-complete.

I just want you guys to know that the multiple *years* I've had my music on Spotify and iTunes have still made me less money than the first two weeks of the same albums on Bandcamp.

Please support artists directly if you can.

.? Hi fedi!

So…this is very not working, so it's (past) time to try asking yall.

We have a low-level security certification (so we figured for months that's where we were headed), but we're beyond being particularly picky. We can code, or do helpdesk, or whatever really. We know things and we learn quickly.

Would you, or do you know anycreature who would, be willing to talk with us and maybe give us a chance, instead of summarily rejecting us because we don't have all the pretty pieces of paper? I really think that's all we need: a real chance to prove ourself.

We'd give more information upfront, but we're already /very/ uncomfortable with this post, so we're gonna leave it there. Sorry for the vagueness.

damn i wish some politicians would read GAR#185

UNDERSTANDING that the primary purpose of copyright is to promote the creation of new works;

NOTING that it is very difficult to motivate people who have been dead for a quarter century;

PUZZLED why the World Assembly nonetheless insists upon this as the minimum term for copyright;

What does anti-bias training have to do with audio engineering?

One time, a film maker called me up because she wanted to use a hubub of voices as a music statement but it wasn't coming off. I listened to the audio and knew just the thing! A resonant 70s style low pass filter would keep the timbres but jettison the words. I ran her vocal recording through my synthesiser and proudly returned with the improved audio.

She listened. "This does sound a lot better," she said, "but you've completely prioritised the men's voices and removed the women."

Cis normativity aside, she was right. My process had made altos much softer and pretty much nuked sopranos. I had to go back and organise each audio sample by vocal range and run the filter multiple times. It was time consuming, but the result was much nicer.

She noticed this because she knew what it was to be silenced according to vocal range - something that has gradually faded from my mind as its no longer a regular occurrence for me. If I'd been working with a fellow tenor or a bass, we might never have noticed. The audio would have been worse and the while project subtly effected by unconscious bias.

Instead, when the film was released, a reviewer praised the sound in that section.

Unconscious bias isn't just unfair, it makes *your* work worse.

We unfortunately had to file a #criminal report with the Corruption Prosecutor (WKStA), following @DPCIreland's "procedural blackmail" - demanding @noyb.eu to sign an "NDA" (in DPC's and Facebook's favor) in exchange for our procedural rights.. 😑

Good job.
