As someone who recently switch to Lemmy, I did notice that there is a general difference in the tone of conversation. This is the first time I've seen it put to words

Hi, I am a musician (thought almost entirely with using bass clef). I'm not sure I understand what you are transcribing. Are you trying to change the song into a different key, or are you just trying to write out the song as it would be in sheet music?

And just for full disclosure, I am not familiar with this song, so I can't comment on the accuracy of it how it's written

I'm using the default messages app on my Google phone. The biggest source of my annoyance is every iPhone user adding reactions and such, which act like a new message for me. So any group chat may as well be a fireworks display of sounds and vibrations when it is active. I've only set one rule to cool down on messages for 5 minutes and it's already made an impact.

The app lets me make specific rules for each app, but I don't see a way to do a rule per group chat, which would be ideal, but this is already an improvement

I just downloaded it!

Nope. I have an android. I just downloaded an app called buzzkill from a recommendation. We'll see how well it works out for me

I think your last paragraph sums up the reason for my frustration. Most of my family and friends are only chatting via the standard text app for their respective phones, and so I specifically would want to configure those notifications

[–] mrnarwall@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

I imagine it would be "$GroupChatName has new messages..." And can be dismissed the same as any other push notification. Whether or an additional notification comes after that could be configurable

 

I dont know about others, but sometimes I am not able to check my phone, or be fully present in a conversation that I'm part of. Maybe I'm concentrating on work, or driving, and not able to look. It gets distracting when my phone is constantly buzzing and chiming for 5 minutes straight. Muting the chat can help, but if you forget to check it, or get added to a new one, you can't really do anything about it. I just want to be able to get notified once that the chat has new messages, decide how I want to react, and then move on from it. Is that too much to ask?

I was never told exactly what it was for. My suspicion was that it seemed more like acquiring training data for an audio processing machine learning library. This was about 10 years ago, so after the likes of siri, but way before something like chat gpt

I used to do mechanical turk jobs for some quick and easy pocket money. There were several types of tasks you could do, and there was a sort of ranking system to dissuade anyone from just inputting junk instead of answering seriously. I usually stuck to surveys and things I would describe as fancy captchas. I recall a few jobs where the task was to record yourself in different environments reading the same script of text. I can't see that type of job for being anything other than training data for AI/ML

Not the OP, but I have been getting a bug where I select a show/movie to watch in the roku app, and instead of playing it will exit out to the list of shows/movies menu. These same shows work just fine in the app on a google android TV, or on a computer

Robots.txt is a file that is is accessible as part of an http request. It's a backend configuration file that sets rules for what automatically running web crawlers are allowed. It can set both who is and who isn't allowed. Google is usually the most widely allowed domain for bots just because their crawler is how they find websites for search results. But it's basically the honor system. You could write a scraper today that goes to websites that it is being told it doesn't have permission to view this page, ignore it, and still get the information

I do! In fact, I personally try to watch as many sci-fi movies in January as I can. I try not to discriminate, and give everything a chance that's vaguely sci-fi. I'll add Solaris to my list for sure
