@foone I can sympathize. I got a new keycap set about a month ago. Looked beautiful. I absolutely could NOT type with it, presumably because the corners were too rounded. I didn't want to, but ended up going back to the keyboard's stock set after trying to make it work for a few weeks.
@CodenameTim as far as I know, I’m not a DSF member yet. I thought that I’d applied, but perhaps I’m mistaken or was unsuccessful. Otherwise, I’m happy to help admin.
ich mach's mal konkret: Ich suche ab dem 01.10.2024 eine remote Festanstellung und möchte das Freelancerinnen-Dasein hinter mir lassen.
Ich kann: Digitale Barrierefreiheit von vorne bis hinten, Inklusion bzw. DEI umsetzen, Unterschiedlichste Menschen beraten und schulen, Medieninhalte erstellen und Software entwickeln (PHP + Ökosystem, Python, bereit für was Neues).
Kennt oder hat jemand eine passende Stelle frei? Im Thread sind noch ein paar mehr Infos.
ob unsere Personalys damit klar kommen, wenn ich ihnen einen Fediverse-Thread schicke
Warum den nicht?
Das ist ja das schöne an öffentlichen Fediversethreads, dass sie WIRKLICH öffentlich zugänglich sind (ohne Account bei irgend einem Datenhändler, ohne Tracking, einfach frei via URL öffentlich einsehbar.
@wolf Ich fände es total cool, wenn ich im Rahmen einer Bewerbung oder einer Empfehlung einen Fedi-Link geschickt bekäme. Mal sehen, wann das mal passiert.
The online backlash to #Windows#Recall amuses me tremendously. I started building a similar open-source (non-AI, local only) thing for #Linux a month ago.
It would take screenshots and create a timeline video of your day. It also enabled searching across your past usage of the computer.
The inspiration was an open-source macOS app called "Rem" which does the same thing.
Ah well, I guess I'll abandon that then, as it's going to be seen as toxic thanks to #Microsoft.
@popey@alto there'll always be stuff they'll whine about, whether it's snap, or systemd, or something else tomorrow.
An opt in, verifiable app that doesn't need to be profitable for a multinational is quite a different thing, to almost anybody that is worth worrying about.
I hope you do what you want to do, and don't let the haters sway you
@popey@JayLittle@alto I think if Canonical was going to add this as the default setting to Ubuntu 24.10 or such, people should have the same reaction. It’s a lot of previous ephemeral data now being stored and extracted. That’s a lot of trust for any company or open source project to take on.
I’m going to repost this every few days until the election. People need to memorize some basic differences so they can recall them on demand when talking to anyone who still doesn’t understand the stakes of the 2024 election. Please share this post, the image, or both.
@Bam@shoq I think you think I'm saying don't vote, still not, just hold politicians accountable, recognize that yeah the democratic is grass over there, but it could be healthier, it could be stronger.
Why does #Microsoft want to implement #Recall? It's not about images. It's about modelling what workers do on Windows, and then replacing them.
The most expensive part of a computer is the fallible feelings-filled unpredictable meat sack that operates it.
Google has YouTube, Google Photos, Maps, and a bucket load of search data, Google Analytics, advertising, as well as it's #GCP data (e.g. #STT transcriptions). And a bunch of data from Android services. From this data they can model speech, model videos and model advertising systems, and how humans respond to them.
But they can't model what people do on computers.
Amazon has Prime data, and a bucket load of compute. But no operating system data. They can build models based around e-commerce and advertising systems.
But they can't model what people do on computers.
Meta has waves hands enough analytics to model human behaviour in the Metaverse.
But they can't model what people do on computers.
Microsoft has GitHub.
Microsoft has LinkedIn.
Microsoft has SharePoint.
Microsoft has Teams.
Microsoft has Dynamics.
Microsoft has O365.
Microsoft has Windows telemetry data.
Microsoft can model what people do on (Windows) computers. Like fill out spreadsheets.Write emails. Synthesize web pages of research. Interact with colleagues on Teams. Create and edit documents.
Microsoft wants #MicrosoftRecall data so they can model what people do with operating systems.
Then replace them.
Imagine a CoPilot that doesn't just write buggy code. Imagine one that also does spreadsheets. That creates documents on SharePoint. That communicates with colleages on Teams. That has a customer pipeline on Dynamics.
That's what Recall is about - 360 degree surveillance of the worker, to model their functions, make them fungible, replicable - and replaceable.
