World's smallest violin needed, again:

"OpenAI Loses Key Discovery Battle as It Cedes Ground to Authors in AI Lawsuits" —if found guilty of 'wilful" infringement OpenAI could be on the hook for up to $150,000 per work. (And circumstances don't look great for them—they appear to have destroyed lists of the copyrighted works they'd trained GPT on.)

Who had the funny idea to turn tags to lowerCase on auto-completion in the Mastodon Web UI? That's kinda nasty. Especially if I select a tag like "AndroidAppRain" (spelled exactly like that in the suggestion) by typing "AndroidA" and let it auto-complete: "androidappRain" is *NOT* what I'd expect.

I've checked the preferences, but found nothing. Any hints on how to set this to sane defaults? Screenreaders have it easier with CamelCase…

@downeyMichael Downey 🧢 some setting on instance level maybe?

What I'm listening to today: "the 3rd experience", Merr0w

Behold the unbelievable versatility of the Roland TB-303, released in 1981 as a bass accompaniment device for guitarists, failed rapidly as it doesn't actually work for this, postmortem birthed multiple genres of music and decades later there's a whole micro-industry of clone devices and folks are still creating fun unique-feeling music with them. Here's some acid trance (is this "goa"?). This is the sound. This

What I'm listening to today: "Live Ambient vermona perFOURma with Digitone and Blofeld.", Surgeons Girl

Pleasantly meandering ambient, like someone tried to freeze the idea of "distraction" into a song. All little fluttery subtractive analog synth bubbles.

Minimal, but on second listen it's more substantial than it felt at first.

RE: social.edu.nl/@Bibliothecaris/

Over the moon that we (finally) did this!

🎉 We're the first department at the @universityofgroningen to adopt , and I hope others will follow.

Next step: Exploring how we can embed PeerTube videos into our university's CMS.

anybody wanna start a team effort of people with OCD and/or perfectionism who'd be vetting Rust libraries for how likely you are to discover something deeply disappointing once you end up having to dig into the code to investigate a bug

My mother taught me how to embroider towels and pillowcases when I was seven or so. She kept me in supplies and expected no less than perfect stitching. Less than perfect was ripped out and redone.
She sold my work to fund missionary programs for the church. After I mastered embroidery I leveled up to crochet and tatting to add lace edges.
In the 1960's and 70's I earned my own extra money embellishing bell bottoms for friends.
I gave up this kind of delicate work for years and years.
Until I lost my son. I took up my needle again and sewed dozens and dozens of towels to focus on something in hand.
When Summer came to live with us she filled much of that emptiness and I put the sewing away again.
I am starting again to craft a few gifts. It is something I can give without having to shop.
This time it's just for fun.

미국 노동시장서 가짜/거짓? 채용공고 증가했다는 분석 나옴. More Perfect Union 등에서 전체 채용공고 중 약 30%가 실제 채용 의도 없음이라 주장함. MyPerfectResume 보고서도 공고 대비 실제 채용 크게 못 미친다고 지적함. 이유는 인재풀 확보 목적, 회사 성장 이미지용, 예산 보류 등 다양함. x.com/MorePerfectU... 문제는 이걸 기반으로 실업률이나 경제상황을 예상하므로... 30%는 부풀려진 상태라고 보면 될듯
