The worst kind of blogging is blogging about blogging, so, I’ll keep this blogging about blogging short!
I’ve made some minor updates to the design of the website that have improved it’s usability a wee bit, and are a step in the right direction toward upping my accessibility game. The major remaining accessibility issues are around color contrast and some structura … ⌘ Read more

** week notes **
It got a wee bit cold here in Maine this weekend. It was thankfully uneventful for us. We hung around inside and watched it get real cold outside. Our home faired pretty well, too. Honestly pleasantly surprised about that!
We picked this weekend to go all in on potty training — pantsless days, treats, rousing bouts of encouragement sung, and a lot of spot cleaning. Fueled by hubris, I thought we had this potty trainin … ⌘ Read more
**No contexto de cooperativas, no @JornalMapa, lê-se (entre outras reflexões) sobre a falsa ideia de que “tempo é dinheiro”.
Aplica-se bem ao meio associativo, em que as quotas de sócios ou donativos (que são sempre bem vindos) não substituem o tempo dedicado ao activismo.**

O resumo que o @JornalMapa faz da história por detrás da barragem do Pisão é um belo exemplo de como processos como consultas públicas, avaliações, petições e outros instrumentos de cidadania são tão úteis ou fúteis quanto quiser o poder político.
Neste exemplo, sofre o ambiente.

Yet another AI application
AI is currently finding its way more and more into various software. There is ChatGPT, which sometimes feels like an all-knowing human, DeepL uses artificial intelligence not only for its translator, but also for its new tool that improves written text, or Bunny.net provides an API to generate images “on the edge”. ⌘ Read more

**R to @mind_booster: Mas… há mais. Depois do preâmbulo com a justificação para a recomendação que o Grupo Parlamentar faz ao Governo (o tal em que diz que a experiência desastrosa de Évora foi um sucesso, e que portanto há que ir mais longe), vem a recomendação propriamente dita.

Time Domain Audio Compression at 3.2 bits per Sample
Audio formats typically fall into one of three categories: “lossless”,
“complicated” or “bad”. After developing a
simple image format
last year, I tried to come up with an audio format that fits neither of these
categories.
In other words: a format that is lossy, simple and quite ok.
Naturally, it’s called QOA — the Quite OK Audio Format.
