Yes, we pay to defend Europe from Russia, and we do it for free. We should stop doing that, and invest more in domestic needs.

Not Whisper per se, but IIRC LiveCaptions is partially trained using Whisper. It also works really well! https://github.com/abb128/LiveCaptions

Counterpoint: the bad people are already doing bad things. There is already plenty of secure communication technology, it’s just not super convenient. The highly motivated weirdos don’t mind that though. There is a much larger group of pe

Cool, thanks. I will pass this along to some people who might be able to help.

That is super cool! I’ve wanted to do the m3u playlist thing for a long time, so I could create a HLS stream for each “channel”. Then family members could watch from any device.

What hardware would you want, and how much would it cost?

It would be cool if there was a “syndication” format for sites to post summaries of all their new content, so then you could have a reader on the client side to collate the news feed of the day. This syndication format would need to be real

State funding doesn’t matter as much for many CCs because they have local taxing authority, just like K-12 education. This is another reason why they are often significantly cheaper than a 4-yr school in the same state.

Yes, but in order to enable it, they require that you enable an app first. I can only assume that this tactic is usually an attempt to maybe get your phone number, depending on which phone-based method you choose. Which is especially weird

I don’t know the answer, but this is a pet peeve of mine. It’s especially frustrating when sites won’t let you enroll for 2FA with a hardware token. Instead they require that you start with some crap “authenticator” app first. Looking at

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. I live in Dallas and this is 100% true. What’s fun is when you notice that the biggest, flashiest trucks are all concentrated in the fanciest suburbs. Once you get out in the country, off the main road

My otherwise nice schools in the 90s were like that. No door on the boys’ bathroom, and no doors on the stalls.

The Kirkwoods were great for the time. I had a PogoPlug and a Seagate DockStar. Thermals were the Achilles heel though - very easy to overheat either one of those little boxes doing simple things like uploading a lot of files to its storag

If you’re really eager to try it out, then apparently you will need to set up the sliding sync proxy in front of your homeserver.

Don’t the WaPo and NYT have anonymous submission sites for exactly this kind of thing?

Backup NFL quarterback is a pretty damn elite job. There are what, 50 or 60 of them in the world? Vs dozens of NCAA div 1 starters who graduate every year.

Mostly through sites like hackingwithswift.com Those are generally enough to get you to the point where you can make sense of Apple’s documentation.

I actually knew a guy with that surname who was a Java developer and data analyst. He did eventually change his name after many years of frustration. It’s an extreme solution though. Not something you can ask of most people.

I would love to hear what you and your team think about Matrix’s proposed fixes, especially MSC3917. To me, it looks pretty good on the surface, but I don’t know if I can convince myself that it’s secure. I’m not even sure if I could write

It’s encouraging to hear that you’re getting an audit of the new approach. Reading over the new design doc for authenticating membership events, and the Github comments, it feels like this is a case for some sort of model checking or automa

It’s definitely making the software better. See the MSC3917 document linked by Arathorn. They have put a lot of effort into thinking about the threat models and how to address each them. Is it perfect? Well, no. But it’s a hard problem a

But that is their hypocrisy. If you have a thousand times more than most people, nbd. If you have a thousand times more than them , then that’s an outrage.

I suspect the author has a sample size of one for some of these varietals. Some of these descriptions are… off.

That’s only because you have terrible taste in apples. :) Seriously though, who rates Braeburn at 73 and Cortland at 24? They’re really not that different if you get them fresh. It sounds like they found their test Cortlands in a wet bag b

Apparently LineageOS works on some AndroidTV devices, including one that you can get at Walmart.
