For some reason I keep coming back to this wonderful talk by Tim Ewald about the nature of power tools.
It's not immediately clear that it's the actual topic, especially given the fact that it happens at a Clojure conference...

With the most recent release of (0.20.0) I've spontaneously started picking it over the official app for playback. It's just that good now. Automatic transition to background/windowed playback when switching from the app *rocks*!
It's not a completely seamless transition yet, there's a noticeable hiccup when that happens, but I have faith in community.

Find it on @fdroidorg here: f-droid.org/packages/org.schab

Google claims that the clients to Fediverse are spreading hateful and abusive content, But as we all know Google Chrome being a web browser is not just a client to Fediverse but also to many hate spreading places like Gab, etc. :welp:

Lets all report Google Chrome for spreading Hateful and Abusive Content :blobcat:

This has to be one of the most hilarious out-of-context I have captured in quite a while.

The sign up section has been moved to a separate page, the confusingly interchanging usage of tech jargon like "instance" and "server" has been removed in favour of "community". The questions "can I move my account later" and "can I talk to people from other communities" is answered upfront. Categories are now at the front and the communities are grouped by language with a prominent language filter option. Communities that don't offer instant sign-up are now clearly marked as such upfront.

All the more amusing is that my answering machine's greeting addresses telemarketers first and then invites everyone else to leave a message. In a broad sense, it's working... 🤔

The latest message on my answering machine starts with a "beep" common in call centres, "Hello" from the operator, a few secs of confused silence and hangup.

My answering machine must have had a productive conversation with the marketing robot, but their operator was left out of it. Ha.

I suppose that's where we are headed, robots talking to each other in human ways, for ultimate interoperability. It's already happening: web scraping, phone trees with speech recognition, Google Duplex…
