@foosel Brilliant! What do we think of Wayland? I'm about to jump to debian Bookworm on my desktop machine => KDE Wayland. My (very part-time) project has to do with some video restoration. It's Hermann Prey etc in Mozart operas. I don't need any video problems. It's along shot to pull decent video out of the awful NTSC originals, but, you know, it's Great Cutlure (TM) (unbroken German line from Bach to Wagner etc), so someone ought to do it. I'll look at British composers later :)

@kev seems to be a celebrity. Going to have to check this out. 3000 stars can't be wrong! 😉

@scottishlass oh, the shame! I sat through all the classic Trek films, starting from "The slow motion picture", when they came out, in the hope that the next wouldn't be so bad. They seem better in retrospect. I much prefer the reboots, which means I'm not a real Trekkie apparently (esp Cumberbatch).

That's all folks for this year. @njb and myself had a lot of fun marking the 30 #DSP projects. These were all part of the digital signal processing class at the University of Glasgow. #flippedclassroom #teaching #science #engineering

Marking the Digital Signal Processing Assignments at the University of Glasgow. Every team had to make a video about their project. I'm going to post the best videos here while marking them over the next couple of days.
1st project is: detecting if a plant is healthy, needs water or is dead!

@oskay I've serious problems with the RPi community. Really very good Masters students posting sensible questions to their forums get very school-mamish replies along the lines of "why would you want to do that?" When the same students reply to other questions which had received such answers it's treated like an act of aggression. That and overheating issues which plague lab work, and their breaking of the comdi interface make me prefer other SBCs these days :(

@hackernews This is a critique of extremism, which is entirely justified. If you take a bunch of engineering students and don't tell them to be agile, they *never* talk to each other, and nothing works.

As always, best to look at methods critically and only apply the bits you like.

50% of the time in meetings sounds like the managers have wrested control from the devs, which means it's not really agile any more.
