I can vouch for whisper.cpp . It’s not 100% perfect but it’s good enough to transcribe a half hour podcast with numerous speakers and which requires pretty minimal fixing afterwards.

Is this a reprimand or an invitation to spew hate at other sections of society like him?

The only way this story could be more American was if it had been a child dolphin, in a public school.

Unless a characters race or gender or ethnicity or (dis)ability is a key component of either their arc or the story as whole (e.g. the plot depends on it), who the fuck cares who’s playing who? I saw the same thing happen when the Dune movie had the Liet-Kynes character portrayed by a black woman. It makes absolutely zero difference to the story what gender or race Liet-Kynes was and she was really good anyway.

Ah, the old “it was just one or two bad apples” gambit.

Maybe pay teachers enough that they don’t have to do this if they don’t want to?

And if they do want to, how does it affect their efficacy as a teacher?

Looks like yunohost with a nicer interface but less apps and less config options.

OK.

Simple answer is to stop going to either those subs, or Reddit as a whole.

Sure, but the body of the post mentions donating to devs and instance owners. I’m being pedantic I know, but I think it would be a more informative post if it’d made clear what the donation numbers refer to and what they don’t.

As an add-on (sort of) to Borg, I was told about Vorta yesterday and installed it to run scheduled, encrypted backups of my local machine to an external drive, but you can also ssh to a remote server if you wish. Works like a dream.

Right. My instance maintainer accepts donations via Ko-fi, which isn’t even listed here.

Maybe not right now, but when shareholders start demanding action over NSFW subs or subs that discuss illegal activities or subs that discuss the evils of capitalism or subs that just aren’t profitable and those subs start getting shuttered, then they will.

I understand that, but surely the Admin who took the action isn’t in a different timezone form themselves? What was stopping them immediately posting just before or just after taking the action?

Whilst I completely understand why you, as private individuals with limited income and not a huge org that has high priced legal teams on call, have made this decision (I think people forget that it costs money just to defend yourself in court, irrespective of how accurate or legal the charges might be), this is about the 3rd or 4th time that the Admin team have communicated and taken action very, very poorly.

It’s really not a difficult thing to do. A post such as this either before or immediately after taking such important actions. I realise you’re all busy people with real life stuff to do too but surely you tell new Admin’s when they’re onboarded that momentous decisions that affect a lot of people must be communicated to the members immediately?

True, but let’s not forget that Lemmy instances are hosted by ordinary people without the finances to employ high price legal teams. If they receive a threatening letter from (for example) Sony or Disney they still have to either acquiesce or find a lot of money very quickly to simply argue their case.

Sorry, guys, you’re doing it again

The fact she is a brown-noser is exactly why he will pick her. He’s not interested in ideas or other strong voices. What he wants is to be surrounded by people who will shower him in adulation, tell him he’s right and take the fall for him when it goes wrong.

Yes, these parents are essentially (and knowingly in some cases) pimping their kids and that is awful.

But let’s not minimise the fact that the pedo’s are the ones creating this situation. They’re the ones sexualising these kids, they’re the ones leaving fucking awful comments, they’re the ones trying to coerce and threaten, they’re the ones curating huge Telegram groups instructing other men how to locate these posts.

And let’s also not minimise Meta’s role in all this either. Reading that article it was clear that Meta literally don’t give a fuck about these kids. At all.
