I don't know if a person who uses Hello Kitty toilet paper would do so because they like Hello Kitty or because they don't.

Every damn time I order sandwiches from this cheesesteak place I make the same damn mistake. I have them add "pepper rings" which I think of as the medium-hot peppers most sandwich places use. No, they use Hungarian Hots that are hotter than the average jalapeño.
I can handle heat but this is the wrong context. My own damn fault too...

Wow, ich hab's wirklich geschafft mir den kuriosesten Fehler in Linux Mint zu basteln. Starte ich ein Video in der Nextcloud (oder teils woanders) stoppt nach 1 Sekunde das Video, aber Audio läuft. Wechsel ich von den Desktop Speakern auf das Headset, laufen Audio und Video synchron.
Das erst mal merken...
Oh man, wo hab ich bei den ganzen Alsa-, Pulsaudio-, Pipwire-Gedöns nun das hingekriegt 😄 🧐 🙄

Da mein gestriger Post zum analogen Vodafone-Scamversuch unerwartet hohe Aufmerksamkeit erhält, folgen heute einige Infos für Interessierte:
1. Bild des Schreibens. Die Schwärzungen habe ich nachträglich hinzugefügt, um meine persönlichen Informationen nicht öffentlich zu machen.
2. Der QR-Code ist ein Shortlink zur Domain vod.af, gefolgt von den Buchstaben uiqxbs. Die Domain ist von Vodafone, aber wohin der komplette Shortlink führt, habe ich nicht ausprobiert.

Day 8 (a bit late): Timnit Gebru
Academic authors are authors too, and there are a bunch of people I deeply respect both in my fields and adjacent.
Gebru is someone I have huge respect for because she stood up for her (mild, completely reasonable) principles to the point of losing her job on Google's AI ethics team (since disbanded entirely), and then went ahead and founded an independent research institute to continue doing AI ethics research.
Why was she fired? Because she insisted on publishing her "Stochastic Parrots" paper after it passed Google internal review only to have extra nonstandard scrutiny applied at the last minute. Why did Google want to suppress her paper (which included an academic co-author)? Because it expressed valid criticisms of the large language models fad, and Google was planning to make money off that fad. Personally, I don't think I'd hire an "AI ethics" team only to then try to suppress their publications, and Google seems to now agree, having scrapped the team (during the initial furor, Timnit's boss also effectively quit to support her).
That "Stochastic Parrots" paper? Indeed, it predicts the core underlying problems with large language models that lead to so many of their user-side harms today. You can read it here: #20AuthorsNoMen
