Over the summer our 6 year old asked me to read to him from The Official Ubuntu Book (which I co-authored). On the page about the #Mycroft assistant device, I mentioned I had one. He was entranced.

Well, yes, I do. A Mark 1. It's been in my closet since I got it. It might be too old to run #OVOS. Or the hardware is dodgy. Maybe I should consider #HiveMind 🤔 Hey, someone upgraded it to use a RPi4.

What kind of hole am I digging for myself here?

Dear #HiveMind, what do people think of Ground News? Keep meaning to look into it, the idea seems interesting.

Anybody using it? Anybody has strong opinions one way or another, preferably well-founded ones? :blobcatcoffee:

Hey there, nerdbrains,

I cant remember how I did this the last time I set up a phone two years ago...

I'm trying to install Google/Pixel camera on my #Pixel 7 running #AOSP-based #Iodé, but #AuroraStore says it's not compatible with my device.

I'd preferably like to get the old version I was running before, 9.0.115.586536401.40 (before they ruined the UI).

Does anyone know where I can get a working APK for my device?

I downloaded "com.google.android.GoogleCamera_9.0.115.586536401.40-66739056_18feat_0d88f0ed679ba77732b303a399904412_apkmirror.com.apkm" from #APKMirror, but it just crashes.

Any ideas?

Ich versuchs nochmal etwas konkreter: Arbeitet hier jemand bei einem Nachlassgericht und könnte mir ein, zwei Recherchefragen beantworten?
Danke schonmal vorab!

Hey, short film fans! I'm looking for short films (under 20 minutes) about caregivers and caregiving (of children, of elders, sandwich generation, etc.).

Do you know of any short films that fit this bill?

Let me know about the caregiver films you love. Thank you.

Here's another one for the #blind#hiveMind primarily, but feel free to chime in if you have a good idea.
For an upcoming video/stream, I am looking into video editing as a #screenReader user. I'd like to cover both #mac and #windows and am curious what solutions have worked well for people in the past.
Conditions are no mouse usage at all, app needs to be screenreader-compatible, ideally somewhat full-featured both for #audio and #video.
Be it #iMovie, #Clipchamp, #quicktime, #reaper, a dreaded #AI tool, tell me thy success stories, thy struggles and thy findings! 😊 #accessibility

A question for the #hivemind - I need a #printer for home, is the consensus still "Just get a Brother"?

Dear sound/audio folks and engineers,

I have a directory with 3.5GiB of audio files (chiefly opus & m4a) which are spoken word recordings.

Some of them are quite low, and some of them are quite dynamic such that it's a whisper at times and nearly a shout at other times.

I've processed a lot of them with #audacity's compressor filter or #ffmpeg (ffmpeg -i audio.m4a -filter:a "speechnorm=e=50:r=0.0001:l=1" audio-normalized.m4a), but there are some unprocessed files in the collection, which are a pain to individually find and fix.

Is there a way from the #CommandLine to detect the loudness and/or dynamic range of audio files so that I can automatically flag them for processing with ffmpeg?

Thanks!!
