Wait?! 13 years since @lucasartsmemory.bsky.social was closed and we were all laid off? Damn… time flies. Very selfishly I wish that George Lucas would have waited a few more years before selling to Disney, so that #SW1313 would have been the last game shipped by LucasArts. 😔

George Lucas has said he’s let go of his instinct to manage Star Wars, 13 years after selling the sci-fi universe to Disney.

If I want to watch a youtube video in French it’s automatically dubbed in English with an AI voice. Horrible (when you speak the language)

Celia Hodent @celiahodent.com · 4d

Well… it is truly annoying.🤣

Celia Hodent @celiahodent.com · 5d

Ok this is starting to drive me nuts: how the hell can I disable autodubbing on the non-English youtube videos I watch? It’s a great feature for a lot of people but I don’t want it when I actually speak the non-English language thank you very much 🤬 #ux

Interesting article. Wondering why he uses “UE” instead of UX. He’s really against all hypes that don’t make perfect logical sense it seems 😜

Thank you so much, April. We’d like to write an update too—so much has happened in a mere five years—but I think we have to tackle the bullshit machines first.

Kudos to @aeromexico.bsky.social staff for letting me seamlessly opt out of facial recognition during the boarding process. 🙏🏼
(Of course, ideally you would not use facial recognition to begin with 😉)

Scientists Finally Reveal Biological Basis of Long COVID Brain Fog.

If find Jane Goodall’s passing particularly sad. What an amazing woman and role model she was. May many of us have her strength, courage, and determination to make this world a better place for all, animals and humans. 🖤

Bonjour @franceinter.fr, quelles recherches ont-elles été mises en avant pour étayer ces propos ? Je n’ai notamment jamais entendu parler “d’attention flottante” en sciences cognitives. @severhel.bsky.social ça te parle ??
