Thanks 😻!

(All cats, obvi).

I await the butlerian jihad with bated breath... And a warhammer lol!

Ahhhhhh no thanks!

Apologies for coming off finger-waggingly!

I was unable to read any anti-AI subtext and have been up to here (the sky) with AI slops lately.

Yeah, rewatching that first season was rough and took me a long time 😅.

I am so sorry. That's fucked and Idk what else to say, but hugs ❤️.

I successfully rewatched Discovery - the actors are amazing!

And started a Lower Decks rewatch in an attempt to ingratiate hubs to nutrek... but then I forgot about it 😅.

Channel surfing!

I do enjoy some nu trek, but it just doesn't have the same rewatchability for me.

I'm so sick of this decade-long fad of huge budget short season TV.

All I want are 22 episode seasons again made with a lower budget and far less space battles.

What do you think this is, Star WARS?!

Naw dog. I want space exploration, weird aliens we come to love, and one-off episodes about side characters. That's my Star Trek space jam 🖖.

Hubs & I are rewatching DS9 before bed right now. I love it so much!

We run through all the old Trek, chronologically, for bed time TV. It used to be just STNG for me before I got married but I was open to broadening horizons.

Nutrek is too loud (noise & appearance) for hed times.

I guess I was referring to gen X being young and tech-deranged and now old and still tech-deranged.

But yes, Big Tech in education has been really bad for the kids in this country for at least the past 30 years.

OMG I just about died of relating to this so hard I choke-laughed. I am fine!
😆😂😭😂

Yes! I'm fine thanks!

OMG I just choked laughing (because I relate so hard). Thank you 😂!

Yes! Yes, please! Or now would be good!

They could pick The Expanse back up again, and that would be damned lovely.

Please include alternative text for your images so they are accessible to people using screen readers.

Alt text should include a brief description of the visual elements, as well as a verbatim copy of all text.

Thanks!

Or... LLM has saved all the words in a book in a particular sequence, but has not read anything, as LLMs cannot comprehend context.

So, it's the same generation getting deranged then, and also now?

Once they were young tech junkies and now they are old tech junkies, with ever-increasing tech derangement syndrome.

Thankee!

Without Joss Whedon, right?

The guide is also for helping alt text writers, and captioners cross-train into writing audio descriptions.

Imagine an already overworked adjunct professor with three jobs.

What process would you recommend for that person to get started doing audio descriptions without overloading them?

I've heard tero subtitler is decent (free!), can be used for audio descriptions, and the AI need not be used.

Hey-O! Where my alt formats nerds at?

Anyone out there have a good beginner's guide for audio description with software recommendations?

I'm needing to write a guide for teachers to use to teach themselves how to do this, and that is a long and wiggly road...

Blessings of patience and magnanimity to everyone who has to work peacefully with people they don't really like for years and years and years.
