VLC player demos real-time AI subtitling for videos in c/[email protected]

I'd like to see this fix the most annoying part about subtitles, timing. find transcript/any subs on the Internet and have the AI align it with the audio properly.

I think we're closer with hardware than software. the xreal/rokid category of hmds are comfortable enough to wear all day, and I don't mind a cable running from behind my ear under a clothes layer to a phone or mini PC in my pocket. Unfortunately you still need to byo cameras to get the overlays appearing in the correct points in space, but cameras are cheap, I suspect these glasses will grow some cameras in the next couple of iterations.

I'm thinking of buying a car. What is some advice? How do I maintain privacy in a modern car? in c/[email protected]

There's no way you're "covering up" an antenna. Frequently the antenna is the body of the car itself.

Look up the fuse box layout of the car model you're interested in to check if the communication system is on a separate fuse that you can pull without disabling anything else useful.

Has anyone else noticed the trend of weird background music on YouTube videos? in c/[email protected]

[–] vvv 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

There's libraries of loyalty free music that these things sometimes come out of. Or AI.

What type of game do you want to see? in c/[email protected]

[–] vvv 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

check out Supreme Commander, it's a game from the erra of good RTSes, and I think has some of the features you're taking about, e.g. beforehand of multiple bases, automation... you can do things like produce x units, send them to this area, have them start doing this patrol, etc. You can pause the game, to make these orders too. My favorite gimmick though, is that the map is zoomable, from a classic here's your dudes and tanks view, up into a strategic view with icons representing everything. This also opens up the ability to have units be different sizes. vehicles are appropriately larger than infantry, and you can have giant mechs to which other units are literally ants.

Other than English and Spanish, what would be a very useful language to learn? in c/[email protected]

Updoots for The 4400. Might be my favorite show of all time. The theme song is still playing in my head.

Do /not/ make the mistake of watching the cw's 4400 (without a The). I would rather watch Tommy Wiseau's The Neighbors over it.

Halloween is my favorite holiday and I love trying new things to keep the joy of it alive. So Lemmy, what are your favorite Halloween traditions? in c/[email protected]

Add Tucker and Dale vs Evil to that category.

WhatsApp running through android-translation-layer (no container!) on Linux desktop in c/[email protected]

I think you can link a second Whatsapp app, similar to the web client. your primary one needs a webcam to read the QR code though

what android os/rom are you on? I don't think I've used an android phone in the last decade where although yes, that behavior is possible I would have to go out of my way to configure it that way

What do you call application modules that are responsible for business logic? (self.experienced_devs)

Somewhere between API resources, queue workers, repositories, clients and serializers there is a class of ... classes/modules that does the needful. Gun-to-my-head, I would call them "services" but I'm looking for a less overloaded term. Maybe capabilities? Controllers? Pick a term from the business domain? What do you call them?

What are you all doing for android "provisioning"? (self.selfhosted)

Hi! I'm swapping my daily android phone for the nth time today and going through my set-up "check-list". As apps are updating/installing, I thought I'd check in with the hive-mind, what are you all doing to make the process easier? Maybe you know of a way to self-host some sort of android profile server? I'll post my process + list of goals & gripes below and if you have any tips or suggestions about what I can do better, I'd love to hear them!!

Current Process

flash clean rom
walk through the setup process
enable developer mode + adb
go through default app list disabling/uninstalling crap i don't want
use 'fdroidcl' to install all my fdroid apps
adb push a gpg private key to import into OpenKeychain
generate a ssh keypair in Password Store, put public key on my server via ConnectBot, clone passwords repo
log into firefox sync
log into joplin
configure fairmail
configure davx
log in to google account
download play store apps I was missing
go through apps one by one, logging in to accounts + doing configuration
deal with fucking whatsapp
hold old phone + new phone side by side and made sure i got everything

Goals & Gripes

App Installation

fdroidcl helps a LOT here, i can have a list of my minimal required packages - password management solution, browser, and notes get installed and it solves a lot of bootstrapping problems for me. I never need to do the dance of opening chrome, downloading fdroid, giving chrome install permissions, installing fdroid, etc.

that said, it is /slow/ and obviously limited to installing apps from fdroid repositories. maybe the slowness i can solve with self-hosting an fdroid repo, but i'm still stuck with having to install a bunch of apps manually either through aurora store, or play store.

App configuration

If i could push in arbitrary app configurations i would be sooooo happy. certain apps have config export/import, like my launcher, but that's far from all of them. i've tried a number of "backup" options, like Titanium, but obviously they don't work without root and don't always work /with/ root, especially going across devices. I've vaguely considered using Appium for this but ... ehhhh.

De-googling

Okay, so I can probably solve the apk problem somehow... I can solve the contacts sync... but I really like android auto, and that's a non-starter without a system google account afaik.

Whatsapp

i've never once managed to successfully move whatsapp to another device and not lose my chat history. it starts restoring from a backup, fails, and kicks me into being logged in without any chance of a restore.

Edit: oh and if you have any suggestion that'd make me not hate re-pairing wearos watch... 🥺

I've posted this to reddit before, but the post has gotten lost among an automod flurry. I've got some longer travel coming up and this thing has been on my mind again, so I'm looking for some suggestions!

An example: https://www.thenextdroid.com/topics/tutorials/root/. This Ellis Gibson person. Very good with the find/replace button.

Maybe you know of a browser extension to hide all these?
