Looking for other people here who're interested in analog "alt process" photography (especially Kallitype & salt prints in general) and who are also making their own prints. There used to be a few more such people in my TL, but they all seem to have vanished or stopped posting in the past year, and generally it feels there's precious little interest in this topic on Mastodon...

I watched a documentary from PBS about the history of funk last night (We Want the Funk!). It's worth the 1.5 hours if you're interested. Still, it didn't include any music by - or even mention - Curtis Mayfield. Even if he's maybe better understood as a soul/R&B artist, it seems to me funk wouldn't have been the same without him. So naturally, I've dusted off some old albums and have been listening to him all day.

I am once again putting this out there: if anyone comes into possession of any "low jitter" audiophile snake oil products, i am very interested in actually testing that claim.
We know it won't make your 96kbps mp3 spotify stream sound better, that's not in debate.
But is the snake oil made from real snakes? Did they actually improve phase noise by a measurable amount?

‘Only Embrace’ was actually called ‘Only Envelope’ for the longest time, partly because along with the emotional layer I was interested in breaking free of any use of percussion - rather implying rhythm through envelopes programmed into the patches (along with musical use of shifting compression flaring in response to these, and then saturation that would “bloom” out in various M/S configurations.)
Just finished "The Raven Boys," a graphic novel adaptation of a novel by Maggie Stiefvater (adaptation written by Stephanie Williams and illustrated by Sas Milledge).
I haven't read the original novel, and because of that, this version felt way too dense, having to fit huge amounts of important details into not enough pages. The illustrations are gorgeous and the writing is fine; the setting and plot have some pretty interesting aspects... It's just too hard to follow a lot of the threads, or things we're supposed to care about aren't given the time/space to feel important.
The other thing that I didn't like: one of the central characters is rich, and we see this reflected in several ways, but we're clearly expected to ignore/excuse the class differences within the cast because he's a good guy. At this point in my life, I'm simply no longer interested in stories about good rich guys very much. It's become clear to me how in real life, we constantly get the perspectives of the rich, and rarely if ever hear the perspectives of the poor (same applies across racial and gender gradients, among others). Why then in fiction should I get more of the same, spending my mental bandwidth building empathy for yet another dilettante who somehow has a heart of gold? I'm tired of that.

Following federal cuts to history-focused organizations, the president of the Canadian Historical Association, Colin Coates, sent this letter to Marc Miller, the Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture.
One thing might not be obvious: Coates's reference to Carney's recent Quebec City speech suggests Canadians' need for historical context right now. He doesn't agree with Carney's claims. In fact, most Canadian historians would dispute them.
LLMs have no model of correctness, only typicality. So:
“How much does it matter if it’s wrong?”
It’s astonishing how frequently both providers and users of LLM-based services fail to ask this basic question — which I think has a fairly obvious answer in this case, one that the research bears out.
(Repliers, NB: Research that confirms the seemingly obvious is useful and important, and “I already knew that” is not information that anyone is interested in except you.)

Part 3 - Moving forward
One of Mastodon's strengths is its decentralized structure. That also means no centralized marketing or development strategy focused on growth, particularly in Canada. Perhaps a volunteer group could take on that development plan and grow the Canadian user base.
- A vision of what an ideal future state would look like would benefit the planning and action steps. Collecting input from Canadian admins is recommended.
- We shouldn't burden existing admins beyond their current responsibilities. Volunteers would take actions like reaching out to politicians or government agencies.
Potential next steps:
1) Host a web meeting with interested Canadian admins to collect input on a shared vision for this project.
2) Collect volunteers who would be interested in reaching out to politicians or government agencies about creating a presence on Mastodon.
3) Select members of the group to be part of a steering committee.
4) Create a unique hashtag for this project for reporting and followers.

Was telling my father about my NAS and he was mildly interested. But it's too complicated for him to set up his own.
I'm surprised there is not some more consumer friendly way to just load up DVDs and bluerays on to set top box with several terabytes of storage and then just select what media to play from there.
Today's example of media and analysts actively disbelieving what's plain:
Why is the Trump regime so interested in Greenland? It doesn't make sense! There's no economic, military, or geopolitical explanation!
But what if there were? And what if it was territorial expansion for its own sake? What if it was, in a word, imperialism? Those on the radio this morning entertained all sorts of increasingly odd theories but, somehow, empire-building was a bridge too far.

…if we’re watching for a mass turn in popular sentiment against a would-be authoritarian, then it’s the vibes that matter. The guts lead and the facts follow later, if at all.
It’s significant that a mainstream (if salacious) news outlet is running this story at all. It’s significant that it’s making the rounds in my fairly fact-focused TL. I’m interested in who’s repeating this, who’s joking about it, whether it becomes an acceptable SNL gag, whether centrist pundits feel the need to start refuting it.
Vibes.

I listened to two AI generated presentations in the last two days. Yes, students and junior scholars were mimicking jargon they did not fully understand already before AI, but listening to them read out jargon they did not even mimic themselves is really another level of cringe. Yes, I know these are fancy words that people in our field would likely use, but you know, I was actually more interested in what _you_ think about the subject. 🙄
