#AbletonLive #Ableton #musicproduction #boostsappreciated ​:repost_ok:​ Ableton Live users i have a question, what are some native Ableton devices (or third party maxforlive devices) that are really useful, convenient, nice to have, etc? and for what purpose?

It's been awhile since I ran a poll like this.

What's your status?

Today, I have an update for you on an idea I've been thinking about for a long time: what does, and doesn't, need to be "authentic" for things to be "authentic Zen".

It's a smaller set than you'd probably think.

Inviting the #Fediverse to join another #Jabber / #XMPP channel I co-moderate - the Personal Protective Equipment channel. #PPE

Protect yourself from hazardous substances, #pollution, diseases ( #CovidIsNotOver !), #surveillance, police repression, and other threats. Or maybe just look cool and #cyberpunk.

Discuss cloth #masks, surgical masks, filtering facepiece (FFP) #respirators, reusable #elastomeric respirators (half-face or full-face), source control, powered air purifying respirators (PAPRs), and more.

Discussion of #EyeProtection, #HearingProtection, #HeadProtection and similar also welcome.

You can join without a client or an account. Just visit chat.queer-spark.org/#/guest?join=ppe@conference.queer-spark.org

But for the best experience, I recommend using a proper client. The easiest way is to install Quicksy or Prāv on your phone, if you don’t mind using your phone number.

Otherwise, install one or more of the following clients, and use them to register an account on the conversations.im server (see providers.xmpp.net or compliance.conversations.im/old for more server recommendations) -

• Movim or ConverseJS - web clients, for those who don’t fancy installing anything
• Monocles Chat, Cheogram, or Conversations on modern Android devices. They’re paid on app stores, and free of cost on F-Droid.
• Yaxim or Bruno on old/low-end Android devices
• Monal or Siskin on iOS
• Gajim on Linux, Windows, and Mac
• Monal on Mac
• Poezio or Profanity in the terminal
• Convo on KaiOS/JioPhone

…once you’re set up, open this link to join the channel - invite.joinjabber.org/#ppe@conference.queer-spark.org?join (or join ppe@conference.queer-spark.org from your client)

If you’re new to Jabber/XMPP (e.g. coming from #WhatsApp #Matrix #IRC #Signal #Telegram #Discord etc), The Quick and Easy Guide to Jabber/XMPP explains why it’s the best communications platform we have, why it’s important that we push for it, and helps new users get started.

Does anyone have access to the following article? My library does not have issues before the 1980s and the mighty librarians of the steppes are failing me. If necessary I can use ILL.

I'm thinking about leaving the USA, but I'm not sure where to go. I've been doing the indie gamedev thing for a few years so I don't strictly need work, but I've got a master's degree and 10+ years as a software engineer with some big companies. I've also got 6 figure savings. I'm not opposed to learning a new language. I can read Spanish, but I'd need some work to speak it. I'd like to go somewhere not too hot with healthcare, public transit, fast internet, and no risk of being disappeared in the night. If you know a good place, and especially if you're hiring in one, please let me know. #boostsappreciated #expat #emigration

I'm looking for good primers on perceptual hashing algorithms. Do you know any? Can you boost to help me find someone who does? ​:neodog_pleading:​

Context is that in #mediathing people may have the same content but with different encodings. E.g. 1080p and 720p copies of Amélie are still the same movie. I'd prefer not to ask people to maintain manual mappings of this (e.g. associating sha256 hashes) because even though spiritually it makes some sense, it's really just toil and media-thing isn't about toil. I think a perceptual hash is probably what I'm looking for because this isn't meant to be used for content identity. It's just to assist people matching their library overlap. But if there's a better technique I'd be very curious to hear about it!

Got to ask: What do you think is a better overall choice for a general purpose tablet form factor device: one that runs a mobile OS (and therefore is probably well familiar with the interface and hardware its working with), or one that runs a full, actual OS like Linux/Win (and therefore is far more flexible and customizable)?

Does #CSS have a media-query that lets an element render differently depending on whether it's being printed on the left- or right-side of a page? (And maybe even middle- in the case of single-side printing)

If I can style for that one parameter I think a lot of my typesetting needs would be solved 💭
