Any recommendations for video caption services? I’ve used Rev for years, but their prices have increased and I’ve had a few inaccurate files lately (normally they’re really good and there are a few people who genuinely “get”my goofy wordplay).

I've been using sonix.ai for everything

I have a strong feeling I'll be the only one in this screening.

it's a sign I've been looking at too many seating charts for my upcoming flights that my first reaction to that was wow how is that plane so wide

Any idea when you get to fly home?

Currently planning on flying home tomorrow! Assuming I get my PCR test results back in time!

Wow, nice 😍 I wish I could have been there for IETF. I plan to come to OSW.

Looking forward to meeting you at OSW then!

I hope you taste things and feel better soon, sending good 🥑 energy your way!

Thanks! My sense of smell has returned and my quarantine period is over so I have been able to get back outside and enjoy some sunshine again!

@aaronpk did you see https://ask.metafilter.com/362108/Ambiguous-covid-tests ? (or maybe it is you)

not me. But I should also add these PCR tests are gargle tests rather than swab tests, and the antigen tests have been nose swab tests, so maybe that's a factor?

@aaronpk I am so surprised that you are still testing positive on an antigen test when your PCRs are coming back negative! That goes against the way I understand how those tests work. Doesn't an antigen test generally help you understand whether you are contagious right now?

That is also what I thought! yet here we are!

Hi, and thanks for this script as well as all the other tools you’ve created for the indieweb. Do you have an example micropub.json file I could use in order to try to manually generate one for use with my Foursquare account and website? I’ve installed the script and grabbed all the dependencies, and the user.json file creates just fine. But when I attempt to create the micropub.json file I get a message saying "Error fetching micropub configuration data". Thanks in advance.

I just made a little change to the code to fix that. It fetches the micropub config from the server and stores it in that file, and uses that to publish the photos. Without that file it will still work now, but you won't get the photos uploaded separately, they will link out to the Foursquare URLs.

Haven’t explored the Theta+ app, the Ricoh equivalent, but my impression is that it just does gimmicks rather than letting one edit the desired POV, speed etc… but I rrrrefuse to fall into the Adobe subscription trap.

This particular effect was all automatic, but the Insta360 app does let you do quite a bit of POV and reframing editing too

That looks amazing! You make me regret I only take stills with my 360°!
What editing sw did you use?

It's all about the long walks with the 360 camera!

The Insta360 app did the hard work of creating the speedy bit in the second half, but I chopped it up and synced it to the music with the rest of the clips using Davinci Resolve

ah well, it was worth a try

Definitely better than the warm mush I've been eating otherwise! At least this makes me feel like it's food

if you want spicy I’d try Biofrische/Natraj for Indian or Lalibela for Ethiopian

Update: the paneer makhani has some heat to it! but sadly still no flavor

Here's some of mine from a while ago! Unfortunately the in-browser interactive version stopped working because it was a Java applet, but you can still see the finished result!

I actually printed this out and it's still hanging on my wall at home!

How's hot sauce hold up? Since it's not a taste maybe that will add interest at least?

I have yet to find any actually spicy food in Vienna to test this theory 😕

Not being able to taste anything sure puts a damper on my interest in eating. I'm sure that avocado toast was delicious though.

Update: I added a bunch of salt to this broccoli soup to trick my brain into thinking I'm eating actual food. Now it tastes like salty bitterness instead of nothing.
