Unpopular opinion:
As far as I figured out #donations for #FediverseInstances are accepted via bank transfer, wero and PayPal.

We are all here to show a middle-finger to BigTech.
Why not doing the same to Banks, Inflation, FED, EZB?
Look into #cryptocurrency and #blockchain.

@GrapheneOS is doing it as well.

The #SPX6900 is doing Conferences and IRL actions donated entirely within the community (USD on Ethereum) (EUR is available as well).
No middleman, transfer within minutes.

Some weird incel energy in the FBI telling you "look at yourself buddy, anyone who claims they love you for who you are, is bound to be lying" 🥹

GASLIGHTING OR AFFIRMATION?: Local woman overheard insisting three dozen times a day that her enormous dog is “so very small”

“He’s so tiny,” said mastodon user A Bad Idea, referring to Odin the Newfie, who is the size and weight of an adult human man. “Odin, you are so small. You are a baby.”

“I love my tiny little baby,” she exclaimed as Odin reared up on his hind legs and easily rested his saucer-sided paws on her shoulders. She’s five foot nine.

“Why is he so small!” she asked of the heavens as her dog licked her face while she was standing up.

When asked if he identified as small, Odin the Newfie flattened the reporter with a joyous leap, pinning them to the floor with seventy kilograms of muscle, and licked them senseless until they stopped asking questions and gave him cuddles.

I just learned that almost ANY Linux distro can tell you the dynamic range of a music album.

And it’s dead simple.

Run this in the terminal and it’ll chew through every audio file in the folder, spitting out the EBU R128 summary for each one—including LRA and True Peak:

for f in "<insert folder address>"*; do
  echo "=== $f ==="
  ffmpeg -i "$f" -af ebur128=peak=true -f null - 2>&1 | grep -A 8 "Summary:"
done

That gives you the loudness range in LRA and the integrated loudness in LUFS.

So instead of guessing whether an album has been smashed flat by mastering, you can make Linux drag the numbers out into the light.

@80columns Yeah, it’s shocking how many artists completely ruin their songs because of bad mastering.

Just to tell you how bad it is: I have CDs of Synchronicity by the Police, issued in 1983; and I Am Not Myself by Hotel Mira, issued in 2023. So those two CDs were issued literally 40 years apart from each other.

Synchronicity has average loudness of -21.5 LUFS. Meanwhile, I Am Not Myself has average loudness of -7.3 LUFS.

Dear Fedi friends,

I want to share a discovery that made my MONTH.

10 days ago, while I was putting together the slides for my presentation at Berlin #FediDay, I noticed a new entry in the @cercle directory (the Mastodon instance set up by the Service Numérique of the French Ministry of Culture):

✨ @MuseeOrsay ✨

Ouiiiiii!

Paris' super prestigious museum - that welcomed 7.3 million visitors last year - is now on the #Fediverse !!! 🥳

Let's give Musée d'Orsay a warm welcome ❤️

Here is an article about this Mastodon instance for french culture institutions, near one year after its launch les-enovateurs.com/avec-mastodon-la-fronde-discrete-des-institutions-culturelles-contre-les-platefor…
@cercle
Interesting article, but it looks like somebody at NBC is busy playing #FireEmblemFortunesWeave at work: Almyra is a fictional region from that game, and the interviewee probably meant Aymara instead.
Quote: Nogales-Ascarrunz said, however, that local communities in Bolivia have been aware of the species’ presence for generations. “This cat, they call it tilcayo. And when you ask, ‘Does it have some meaning in Quechua or Almyra and other Indigenous languages?’ they say, ‘No, my grandpa told me that’s the tilcayo,’” Nogales-Ascarrunz said. “This is a traditional knowledge that they have in the community. We want to preserve that knowledge and we didn’t want to give it another name.”

A river that is home to about 500 saltwater crocodiles is given the OK to host Olympic and Paralympic rowing and canoeing events at the 2032 Brisbane Games.


I assume their logic is, the survivors of Olympic rowing earn a spot in the Paralympic rowing?

A hype cycle is just Dunning-Kruger effect on a societal scale, over time.

@comparegravel first of all, it's called "Dunning-Kruger effect", not "Dinning Kruger effect". When you venture to correct someone, at least get the name right.

Secondly, the chart in your post is the chart of "relation between average self-perceived performance and average actual performance on a college exam", taken from Wikipedia.

The chart I used is a chart of confidence expressed in a given subject versus actual knowledge in that subject. These are different charts about the same effect.

in reply to Michał "rysiek" Woźniak · 🇺🇦
I don't put much stock into proper name (and the phone did some auto correct I didn't notice). The chart and basically everybody when talking about DKE are saying that people with less knowledge are more confident, and that later their confidence "drops to zero", and lastly experts have almost the same confidence as people with no expertise.
You can point that graph I included shows different function than what's commonly stated. But that's **my point: **it's not DKE 😉.

#EdSheeran had two choices:

❌ Take the loss, cancel the tour, maybe retire from singing

✅ Double down and open a contest to replace all the acts that stepped down in solidarity with #Macklemore (effectively picket scabs)
