Ah, thanks for that.

For those reading: after you select a collection, there is a small "i" icon at the top of the screen, near the search bar. Clicking it gives a link to the source and license info!

----

Though as others have mentioned: beware that there is still obviously-trademarked stuff in there, and ones that may require attribution; check the source to be sure. If you're looking at a specific icon, there doesn't seem to be an obvious way to get back to the collection it came from (and thus see the original license terms).


The availability of trademarked icons (such as Google and Amazon, linked by others) makes me think they just crawled for SVG icons and slapped an OFL on them, which you can't do.


How could a library become popular if the incentive is to create your own library to have an additional lottery ticket in the promotion game?


Because it's forced upon other teams.


Be it bad ears or a pretty rudimentary testing method, but the experience we had at a lan was that we could hear each other through mumble before hearing a shout from across a room.


I know that feeling. For work, I have to do basically everything in a VM, but even on the host the input latency (as measured by 1000 fps camera filming the keyboard with the screen in the background, while I strike a key) is not great or anything. Being used to this latency causes me to feel like the disk encryption boot screen shows the asterisk before I truly typed the letter of the password. (Relevant: https://danluu.com/keyboard-latency/)

I am on my way to bed but, damn, you're getting me curious about the delay that Mumble has versus speed of sound. Knowing it uses Speex ("This is an example of Speex ..." x100) which has a minimum delay of 30ms (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speex), and that you have <1ms ping on gigabit LAN so ignoring that by comparison (even if you>mumble>someoneelse is 2 hops), sound travels...

    $ qalc
    > 340m/s * 30ms
    (340 * (meter / second)) * (30 * millisecond) = 10.54 m
That would be the absolute minimum possible (unless modern Mumble switched to Opus and you used that version) for it to be true. But, considering the first paragraph, I am also very ready to accept it just sounds like Mumble is quicker just because it's so contrary to the norm.

If you say it was ~11+ meters (36 ft), I may be curious enough to create a test setup :p. But I'm assuming you mean the person sitting next to you, not someone who put Mumble on huge speakers across a hall.


It would have been five or six meters with someone speaking loudly into the mic and someone else with one headphone cup on. So you'd need another person to test.

It was also in 2009 so it could even have been Celt rather than speed or opus


Isn't that how git is designed to be?


Git, yes. Github, no. Github has many Github-only features such as "continuous integration". Those need to become portable, so you can run your builds on AWS or Hurricane Electric as desired.

It's become dangerous for open source to rely on anyone who can cut off your air supply. Look at the current flap over Red Hat.


GitLab has many of Github's features including CI, no? https://tomasvotruba.com/blog/how-can-we-use-github-actions-.... Furthermore, GitLab can be self-hosted and the CI can be configured to use your own VMs.

My team does CI in gitlab, and many big organizations use self-hosted instances GitLab like KDE and GNOME.


We do the same with Gitlab -- self-hosted, using their gitlabrunner as the CI agent. It's great!


Good thing that Gitea has/is worked/working on a compatible Ci/CD pipeline.

Not sure if it’s 100% compatible yet, but that’s their goal.


I haven't personally done it much, but it seems like moving CI should be relatively straightforward as long as your pipelines are mostly just npm/make/cargo/bash/etc scripts. If all of your actual logic is in your build system, the bit of yaml that defines the infrastructure on a particular CI platform shouldn't be very complicated to move.

"Run this script in this container and cache these outputs."


Projects on Github are more than git. Commits can move, but issues, pull requests, role mappings, wikis, and Actions, are all potentially impossible/difficult to migrate elsewhere.


I agree in general, but the wiki specifically is just another git repository that you can clone.

e.g. for a repo at mholm/myrepo

  git clone https://github.com/mholm/myrepo.wiki


They'll stop doing it when it stops being profitable.


It's the government's job to regulate people not being allowed to pay for trips to the bottom of the ocean in submarines that look like they were built on Linus Tech Tips.


> It's the government's job to regulate...

Arguable...but which government? They were operating in international waters, and it's not like the UN runs an Ocean Engineering Safety Police Dept.


The ship has to be under some countries flag, it's not like international waters are a totally lawless zone where you can loot, murder and rape without consequence.


Sadly, being able to "shop" for a county with minimal safety, inspection, and enforcement standards is a valued feature of the modern ship registration system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_convenience

(And, so long as you keep your rape and murder within your ship - that is also a feature. If you are a crime victim on a cruise ship, and the cruise company feels that looking into what happened to you is not in their own business interest... OTOH, you or your survivors may be able to sue the cruise company for damages in a shore-based court. Google for the obvious if your want to see stories about that.)


tortoisetts is good to takes a long time to render audio even on it's fastest setting with the fast fork.

Although it wasn't clear to me how voicebox compares.


When English is spoken by Lithuanians I've noticed an unusual Americanish accent that can sometimes be quite strong. Naturally it makes sense and TV, Films and other media sources are a key teacher for English outside of schooling. But it is a little odd to be around basket-ball playing, American accented Lithuanians.


Certainly a similar situation. Where English spoke in your environment (in your example likely in the home by immigrant parents and grandparents where English is not their first language) you would develop the pronunciations used by those around you.



The only one I can do


I believe this was the issue with replika, which encouraged people to develop emotional attachments with their 'AI partner' and then first put romantic chat responses behind a pay wall before removing them entirely a year or so later.

From the outside this could be seen as a good thing, but for someone involved in the relationship, someone who may struggle with a traditional relationship and may see this as the only available option, I'm lead to understand the event was remarkably traumatic.


It's a shame there's no discernible external reason, or series of events, that would push young people towards left leaning ideologies.

Furthermore it's extraordinarily strange this began back in 2016.


Yes, almost like one "side" got spooked and really embraced the idea of censorship to manufacture consent around that time.


Everyone likes censorship. I've never met anyone who didn't like it. People only complain about it when their side is losing.

Eg, on reddit /r/conservative is one of the most censored subreddits, and they're not even subtle about it. They regularly have "flaired users only" threads that are explicitly not open to anyone but the mod-approved people, but you'll see the regulars venture to the outside and whine about free speech and "safe spaces" anyway.

The few actually true unrestricted places quickly degenerate into something like Voat, that was such a cess-pool that even TheDonald couldn't take it. They made a huge deal about Reddit being too restrictive and moving to voat, then quietly crawled back because just like /r/conservative they were very used to having a conversation on their terms.

Even in places like Voat I suspect the way most people work in an unmoderated space is that the toxicity kind of naturally filters the content to what they prefer.


That must be the answer, conspiracy.
