(Linux users !) What was the first Linux distro that you used ?
  • I did some research on what would be a good OS for someone coming from Windows and at the time Linux Mint was recommended a lot so that's what I chose.

  • Yeah that is a likely outcome. I was just trying to stay positive and hope for the best. When I think about how bad things can get with the misuse of AI, it makes me kinda depressed.

    spoilers/hidden text does not work in Jerboa (and Liftoff)
  • Glad it's been reported. I just experienced the tag not working on Lemmy apps while it works fine on the desktop site and the mobile site.

  • I've made a post and a comment using the spoiler tag. On desktop and mobile Lemmy sites, it works as intended, hiding the text. In three apps I looked at the post & comment on, the spoiler tag doesn't hide the text. The apps I used are Jerboa, Liftoff, and Connect.

    The Race Is On: Tutanota Launches Development of Post-Quantum Secure Cloud
  • Good point. I hope you're right that we're very far off from that reality. It's best to be prepared, though. Productivity increases from AI use across industries may bring us the hardware needed for encryption-breaking quantum computing algorithms sooner than we think.

    AMAs are the latest casualty in Reddit’s API war
  • Oh, okay I had no idea. Crazy how they bothered to trademark it but not do anything to support the mods of the AMA community, rather even actively harming them by firing the only person at Reddit that was helping them out, Victoria Taylor.

    AMAs are the latest casualty in Reddit’s API war
  • It's so crazy how they fired her. Reddit's leadership really loves to shoot themselves in the foot. I applaud the mods scaling back their AMA mod duties. No point in doing so much extra work for a community that reddit continually shows it doesn't care about and actively harms through their bad decisions.

  • I don't like this at all, but I doubt it can be stopped. I hope at the end of the day, when AI adoption is widespread, AI will have improved the internet and our lives rather than make them worse.

  • Don't be too hard on yourself. It's hard to work when tired and I totally understand wanting to include the hair description if you thought it could be contextually relevant, and since you found out it's not, taking it out is the right choice. I'm not at all experienced in transcription for the blind so when I made my suggestion of clumpy afro-textured hair, at first I thought the point of the transcription was to be as detailed as possible while also being brief, so I thought the hair description had to stay in in some form. But now I see only contextually relevant info is needed. Good to know. We've both learned something in this, yeah? Thanks again for the work you do and being open to suggestions. You're awesome! 🙂

  • EDIT: Alternatively, go here, switch the “Software” option to Lemmy at the top, and look for a server geographically close to you.

    Oh, great tip! Thanks! It's interesting to see which servers are hosted in my state.

  • I see you edited the transcription, leaving out the hair description. That's just fine too the way you have it now. Thank you. 🙂

  • I see. It's an understandable assumption to make. That's his natural hair texture. You may see this video he talks about his hair. The thing about afro-textured hair is it can stand up and out on it's own. No wind needed, lol (and I say this as a person with this kind of hair texture).

  • so that he comes across as crazier

    Are you sure this is the reason? Did he state his reason that way? Or is that your assumption that he wants to look crazier? In a post above @BarackObama@lemmy.world said his reason was because brushing it takes too much time according to interviews. I haven't seen it myself since there's no timestamp, but I'll check it out later.

    so what’s the blind user of this program going to attach to the concept of unkempt hair?

    The problem isn't with blind users, but sighted users who could read that and associate afro-textured hair like that with being unkempt.

    Edit: Found the timestamp in the Eric Andre interview with Larry King about his hair. Here he doesn't say he wants to look crazier. He says that's what his hair looks like when he doesn't brush it. And as I mentioned in another comment, afro-textured hair isn't meant to be either combed or brushed every day because that can cause breakage.

    Edit 2: Corrected his Eric Adams to Eric Andre. Woops.

  • You're great for transcribing! To avoid the word unkempt, as that can be offensive, I would transcribe the hair as 'clumpy afro-textured hair'.
