spoid··on Scribe
if I transcribe German, it is missing spacing behind punctuation quite often, which is annoying to fix since I have to update the text in the word timestamps as well or the alignment is off. Hope they fix that on their end, as there is no way for a "." in German to not be followed by a space
spoid··on Evaluation of TikTok vs. Instagram Reels
is there a difference in how tiktok handled music and copyright strikes (or at least for a while after launch until it was big)? I assume part of tiktok's success is that people can put in current music at all without getting instastruck by a neural net
spoid··on Let's Settle This
jack on the door alone, or together with rose?
spoid··on Syncthing: Syncing All the Things
shoutout to DecSync (https://github.com/39aldo39/DecSync) to use Syncthing with your CalDAV/CardDAV contacts/calendars/tasks and sync local RSS feeds across devices. I don't really use nextcloud anymore for stuff that is only for myself and does not need to be shared
spoid··on AMD’s Mobile Revival: Redefining the Notebook Business with the Ryzen 9 4900HS
Sadly, on most Ryzen 4000 Notebooks with a U processor so far, all I see is soldered single-channel RAM maxing out at 16GB...

I would kill for a refresh of the E595 but it's never going to happen.

spoid··on Jitsi Meet features update
I was under the impression that conference calls were not actually e2e encrypted:

Has this changed? In the end you could at least self-host though

spoid··on Facebook to integrate the infrastructure for WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger
It is also worth mentioning that Whatsapp relentlessly buggers you to backup to Google Drive or iCloud respectively, where all messages and contents are stored in plain text (at least on Drive, not sure about iCloud).

It's nice that they advertise end-to-end encrypting the messages in transit, but then just dump everything to the world's biggest data mining machine.
