ICYMI I updated last night's Look Outside livestream announcement on @damagecontrolblog with the YouTube VOD. I finally beat Baby Teeth and the Taxidermist. The apartment basement is filled with the stuff of nightmares, though!

DC Live! Look Outside, Part 5 Livestream at 9 ET – Damage Control Blog

There's not much time left in Look Outside. Can I finish exploring the apartment complex before time runs out?

Happy 31st anniversary to the Sega Saturn in North America!!!

Decades later, the Saturn is still being played and appreciated, from the original releases to fan-translated classics to newly developed games.

Be a human that rejects AI

It is not your responsibility to detect all AI. Your anti-AI moral stance is not compromised by someone else getting human-glossed AI past you.

The rejection is the work.

Make AI socially unacceptable and put the penalty for use back where it belongs, on the users.

Hypothetically you can access and download the voice recording from https://recorder.google.com/ if you have chosen to whore out even more of your data to a corporation.

I will find another way. Worst case scenario I will play the recordings one by one into another microphone and make a recording of the recording.

This is absolutely fucking ridiculous!!!

They easily let me copy my videos & my pictures & my downloads, all accessible when I plug into a computer... but not my voice recordings!?!?!

Recorder

The Recorder app available only on Pixel brings the power of search and AI to your audio recordings. You can record meetings, lectures, jam sessions — anything you want to save and listen to later. Recorder automatically transcribes speech and tags sounds like music, applause, and more, so you can search your recordings to quickly find the part you’re looking for. All Recorder functionality can run on-device, or choose to back-up your audio files and revisit online.

After upgrading my #Android phone a while back, I decided to take the old phone (Pixel 6) and backup all my photos, videos etc.

As I am copying them to my computer I was having a hard time finding where the voice recordings were located.

I take a LOT of voice recordings & haven't backed them up in years.

After doing a bit of reading it sounds like #Google sealed them off and you have to have root access unless you share them online.

WTF?!

#PocketPC would never do this to me.

I'm especially trying to help new or non-technical people who want straightforward easy-to-understand advice 🙂

The stream is over! We cleared the teeth apartment and the taxidermy apartment. The basement is something. Lots of horrifying things in the sewers. We'll be back next Sunday with another stream. For now we raided Dopples who's playing Fallout 2.
