QR codes are nice as an addition to URLs on conference presentation slides, but they're not great as a replacement. If you're using a QR code to link to a website, please share human-readable URLs on your slides as well.
@jonafato We're going all digital on our handouts this year and hadn't fully considered this. At the moment the QR Code takes them directly to the handout for that session, the displayed URL takes them to the general handout site and then they have to navigate to the appropriate session (there are 500+ sessions over 7 days). Might reconsider and come up with a short domain/session pattern for the URLs.
Have you ever watched a movie that had a moment that made no sense and it just went on like it didn't happen?
"It Follows", a horror film from a few years back had this - a random scene where some teenagers are hanging out watching TV when one pulls out a plastic seashell, flips it open, and it's some kind of e-reader / telephone with circular screens?
@Mrfunkedude An older woman working at my local grocery store asked me timidly if I needed any help. I didn’t really, but something told me she needed me to need help. I told her I needed cool whip and we walked around talking and looking for it. I thanked her for her help and she walked away with a smile on her face.
Embarrassing. I absolutely believed Phanpy did not have quote posting capabilities. I have even been jumping over to a different app on the rare occasion I use that feature, copying the post url, etc. over so I could find it. 🤦♂️
How could I miss it? The only thing I can think of is that at one time it didn't have them (I have been a Phanpy fan for a very long time), so I just blinded myself to them not being there out of habit.
I even run my own personal phanpy client instance. :psyduck:
@andycarolan AI will be jammed into hairdyers soon.
As we talk with vendors at work, I ask "How does [specific AI integration point] enhance my team's use of your platform?" and the answer is commonly hem and haws and finally "you can turn it off, it's optional."
There are a few instances where I do think it has been beneficial. As a rubber duck for developers. As a way to empower non-techie users to build reports is another (with guardrails on which datasets the AI has access to).
I watched a few of the ChatGPT 4o demos today and what disturbs me isn’t the usage, but the men’s behavior demoing it.
Most of the time, the voice assistant was a female voice. When the AI didn’t do exactly what was desired or they just wanted to move forward, they would interrupt it in mid sentence and ask it something else.
It gave me the same perceived emotion as when I saw this video for the first time. Sad and sick to my stomach.
@wlf_warren Yeah, agreed. I get it is bits and bytes. But the behavior itself is gross, and with the conversational pattern being so lifelike and somewhat flirty (just…why?) how long before we start seeing this behavior becoming worse than it is already in meetings and conversations with real people.
Version 1.1 of #Pipilo on #iOS is out. Pipilo is a unique fediverse app where you view posts one at a time in a horizontal timeline.
New in this update is support for notifications. Following the core idea of the app they are displayed in horizontal groups organized by days.
Premium users can also enable push notifications with quick reply action.
@hrefna The spicy take was so weird. Why put effort into that. Also the demo felt like I was watching an episode of The View or a late night infomercial.

I work from home full time. I spend 8 hour plus extra at night sometimes for study sessions / programming hobbies. Fairly regular sized person, looking for back support - I currently sit at the edge of my seat for some reason. Probably not good.
Willing to spend some money on this, although I will mumble and grumble about it.
@cory I'm using eavesdrop to push my Plex plays over to Listenbrainz and have been wanting to add the now playing / pinned song to my site. Small potatoes comparatively, heh.
