Ufff, the advert, so tone deaf for our times.

Wrong on so many counts, celebrating the destruction of human creativity and artistry, and contrary to all the R-principles ... rethink, reduce, reuse, repair, recover, recycle, refurbish, remanufacture, repurpose, reclaim, retrofit, retro-cool, revival, reading the room ...

... all under the heavy, grey-steeled palm of an uncaring machine.

Hard pass

"Amazon Ditches Just Walk Out Checkouts at Its Grocery Stores

Just Walk Out relied on more than 1,000 people in India watching and labeling videos to ensure accurate checkouts.

700 out of 1,000 Just Walk Out sales required human reviewers as of 2022.

'The primary role of our Machine Learning data associates is to annotate video images, which is necessary for continuously improving the underlying machine learning model powering'"

Proud of @CoralieNeuville, who managed to get out another personal blog post, this time on the passion of Holy Week (Semana Santa) in Granada - in French!

⛈️ Stormy clouds and much needed rains in Granada. The sunny weather is already returning ☀️, and the main reservoir for Granada is just above over 50% of its capacity, and well down on the last 4 years' average for the same period. We still need more rain, or snow on the Sierra 🏔️🙏

The @BBCRD are continuing their Mastodon trial for at least another six months! 👏 Here's hoping it will be many more. 🙏

I've had such a run of maxed out work days, weekends and nights, with weeks of a vomiting daughter at home (which is also my office), and both daughters coughing and sounding like they're suffocating through the night - it's really affected me. Time to take a break, take a deep breath, and re-recalibrate. Sending out to all who like me might need them! 🫂

Just tested positive for whooping cough, been given antibiotics and told to isolate for five days .. if this week couldn't get any better 😳

Possibly only in when your family is under the weather do you get the headmistress of your kid's school sending you a besico 😘, and asking if you need any groceries ❤️. Certainly couldn't have expected that growing up in the UK!

AdamBishop, to accessibility
@AdamBishop@floss.social avatar

Accessibility across the web is a complete mess ... you can have all the branding and colours you like, but that doesn't mean all the peeps can see, hear and interact with the various emojis, buttons, controls, sliders, toggles and links, across all browsers, and on all devices. Can't believe we're in 2024 and we haven't solved this yet. 🤦

The robots.txt file I add to sites to warn off scraping by AI data-collecting bots, but allow searching indexing is getting longer and longer ... 😳

Can we do more than hope and pray it gets respected?

@elperronegro Ps. I would have loved to come on the Cadiar trip. I've always wanted to do a proper via ferrata. Hope you had lots of fun, and that I'll make the next one!
