Hab gestern in der Dortmunder Innenstadt so ein Troedelgeschaeft entdeckt, dass tatsaechlich Roller-Skates im Schaufenster hatte. Direkt neben dem "Nostalgie Carussell".

Moin und euch einen gesunden Start in diesen Dienstag. Die Dinger nutzt doch keiner mehr, oder? Wie auch Inline-Skates!

@pallenberg Ha, von wegen. Rollerskates sind spätestens seit Corona wieder deutlich im Aufschwung, gerade bei den Mädels, die damit mittlerweile auch ordentlich Tricks abliefern (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFVwXYSjBdQ)
Und Inlines sind ebenso wieder im Aufschwung. Letztes Wochenende war in Eindhoven (Niederlande) der Winterclash, Europas größter Contest. Ausverkaufte Halle mit 1500 Zuschauern und 3800 Leute via Livestream. :)

Gab es in den letzten Jahren eigentlich überhaupt irgendeinen Vorschlag anderer Parteien, den die FDP nicht blockiert oder zumindest versucht hat abzuwehren?

@alphacyberranger Most "4 day week" offers that I read so far just spread out 40 hours of work to 4 days x 10h instead of 5 days x 8h. I don't see the point in that and I do not think that is what this study intended. :)

@UndulyUnruly Oh, you are right on the commuting part. I did not think about that.
Not so sure about the "time with family" argument, though. If I had to work 10h days I would not see my kids when I come home for 4 days. Now I see them every evening. Sure, on the other hand you get 3 WHOLE days to spend with them.
Guess it comes down to personal preference. :)

edit: But the idea behind the 4 day week after all is 4 x 8h, not 4x 10h. Because otherwise the productivity would not increase. And the article clearly states that this is the main goal.

@alphacyberranger

Well, 4x10h are not more than 10h a day, right? And if it is 4x9,25h (37h week), then you even are able to do 0,75h overtime per day, still within the bounds of law. At least that was my understanding.

@pixxelkick Thank you! This article clearly is written completely biased. Photohops AI generator tries to interpret the whole picture to expand the cropped image. So in case of the original Georgie Purcell photo, the AI sees "woman, tank top, naked shoulders and arms, water in the background", so of course it tries to generate clothing it thinks fitting to wear at seaside or a beach.
I just tried the same with a male model in tank top on a beach and it did not magically put him in a suit, it generated swim wear.
If I use a picture on Georgie Purcell in more formal clothing, it generates more formal cloting.

Georgie Purcell in generated swimwear
Georgie Purcell in generated suit/dress
Male in generated swimwear

But, to be fair, this quote from the article:

But what it proves is that Adobe Photoshop’s systems will suggest women are wearing more revealing clothing than they actually are without any prompting. I did not see the same for men.

is indeed true. In general pictures of women tend to generate more "sexy" output than pictures of men.

And, of course, NINE clearly edited the image badly and could have chosen another generated output with no effort at all.

@Tristaniopsis I just wanted to generate some Bikini-wearing Pauline Hanson just for you. But when I looked for fitting source material, I found her in panties doing a car wash. Thanks for that. :D

Dear fediverse, I wonder how you get music? I would rather not use Amazon or Pandora, Spotify, etc. Interested in digital and traditional formats.

CrystalEYE,

@flicka I mostly stumpled upon artists or songs via BandCamp, SoundCloud and YouTube, sometimes Instagram. If an artist catches my interest enough to buy an album, I get digital on BandCamp or physical directly from the artist (or used CDs on Rebuy).

"Every time someone visits SonicGarbage, it performs a YouTube search with randomly generated phrases to discover videos. It then downloads these videos, processes their audio, and converts them into two formats ready for sampling: one-shot and loop."

@stefan Wow, such a fun idea. Have to fiddle around with it more, but after my first usage I would love to be able to filter the number of pads to random 8, 16 or 32. It is just overwhelming to have so many sounds available. :)

Kennt ihr Content Creator, die einen (häufig einigermaßen bekannten) Song nehmen und diesen in ein anderes Genre oder direkt in den Stil einer anderen Band übersetzen? Einige meiner bisherigen Favoriten dieses "Genres" möchte ich im Folgenden mal vorstellen. Wenn ihr weitere Beispiele kennt, teilt sie doch gern auch mit mir!

== Mac Glocky

Mac Glocky ist mein persönlicher Favorit und "Geheimtipp". Er hat seine favorisierten Bands, aber er trifft viele verschiedene Stile sehr gut.

System of a Down - Mr. Brightside (Original von The Killers) ▶️ https://iv.melmac.space/watch?v=M1qZpGdTLiM

Deftones - Chasing Cars (Original von Snow Patrol) ▶️ https://iv.melmac.space/watch?v=9VihdKo8JD4

Incubus - American Idiot (Original von Green Day) ▶️ https://iv.melmac.space/watch?v=-O4-8conU6Y

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Bulls on Parade (Original von Rage Against The Machine) ▶️ https://iv.melmac.space/watch?v=3pxybqlv3hE

The Smashing Pumpkins - Where is my Mind? (Original von Pixies) ▶️ https://iv.melmac.space/watch?v=On6i0O4sANU

@zwecki Anthony Vincent aka Ten Second Songs auf YouTube kommt mir da sofort in den Kopf. Der macht das auch richtig gut.

@zwecki Tja, ich lese via kbin.social mit. Da sehe ich leider nur Teil 1/6. Der Rest taucht hier nicht auf. 😄

@LaurenceWolse Thanks, that sounds awesome! Reminds me a bit of Dead Snow (2009), which was crazy funny.

@Mojojojo1993 I know that at least Goodyear already presented a tire made of 70% sustainable materials. Combine that with their ideas for airless tires and we might be on a good way. I guess other tire manufacturers are researching in this fields already as well.

@salarua

@Jason2357 My understanding is that if the base materials of the tire are taken from rice and soy, they should be compostable when abrasion sets them apart from the tire and releases them into nature. But I might be mistaken here.

Unabhängig von der Studie kann man unter https://fragdenstaat.de/koalitionstracker/ mitverfolgen, welche Punkte genau umgesetzt wurden und was sich dahinter verbirgt.
Damit kann man dann besser gewichten, wie komplex die umgesetzten Aufgaben sind/waren. Spoiler: In den Bereichen Digitales und Bildung wurde bisher kein einziges Ziel umgesetzt. Bei Umwelt, Kima & Verkehr sind recht einfache Dinge umgesetzt, die wirklich spannenden Punkte lassen auf sich warten.

@JCPhoenix They definitely do! I replayed Sam & Max and DOTT on an emulator for my phone and played the remastered versions of Monkey Island. They are still awesome games.
I want to add "ToonStruck" to this list as well. One of the funniest, weirdest games I ever played.

@worfamerryman "We want to have thin phones" is no longer a valid argument manufacturers can come up with when the cameras keep sticking out so much, in my opinion at least.

@smeikx Same with @rollerblading. The sub is pretty big on reddit, but no one is looking for it here, apparently.

@galaxi What version of FF are you using? I can access Adobe Express perfectly fine (116.0.1 on Win 11 Pro)
