Hey, short film fans! I'm looking for short films (under 20 minutes) about caregivers and caregiving (of children, of elders, sandwich generation, etc.).
Do you know of any short films that fit this bill?
Let me know about the caregiver films you love. Thank you.
I just caught myself singing a song. I have no idea what the song title or original artist is, and looking up the lyrics isn't helping. Does anyone recognize this?
Mama do
Papa do
Everybody Oop-la
Ziggy Ziggy Oop-la Boom
It's quite
Alright
To hold her tight

Here's another one for the #blind #hiveMind primarily, but feel free to chime in if you have a good idea.
For an upcoming video/stream, I am looking into video editing as a #screenReader user. I'd like to cover both #mac and #windows and am curious what solutions have worked well for people in the past.
Conditions are no mouse usage at all, app needs to be screenreader-compatible, ideally somewhat full-featured both for #audio and #video.
Be it #iMovie, #Clipchamp, #quicktime, #reaper, a dreaded #AI tool, tell me thy success stories, thy struggles and thy findings! :) #accessibility

I'm thinking of replacing my Nest #doorbell.
Wants:
Doorbell that rings (mine loses power and doesn't ring the bell)
Camera I can check on my phone
Wired, maybe PoE
Secure (not something controlled by a corp so probably #SelfHosting)
I have a couple ideas, but want to know what the #HiveMind thinks.
Edit to include self hosting.
I have a new Windows 11 installation in a VM, and installed NVDA. However, even though I have the lang attribute set to `fr` on the `html` element, NVDA still attempts to read the content as English. I am sure I am missing something in terms of configuration or something like that. Does anyone know where I am going wrong? #accessibility #hivemind @NVAccess
I was wondering. Is there an OSS alternative for real time subtitles aimed for the deaf and people with limited hearing?
I could have sworn there was something that can create subtitles in realtime that isn't a proprietary closed source mess
A question to the academic #HiveMind:
We are currently developing an extension to #ConfTool that will allow for the export of conference programmes as #BibTeX / #BibLaTeX . What would be your entry type of choice for otherwise unpublished conference presentations, posters etc.?
If you opt for “something else“, please provide your preference in a reply. Any comments are more than welcome.
Hoping maybe the #Fediverse hive mind has some ideas about a problem.
My old workhorse Onkyo AV receiver died a few months back, and I replaced it with a Denon AVR-S970H. And it's driving me nuts.
My #TV is old, from the final generation of plasmas. Great picture. Sound is okay, but it only understands stereo and mono in uncompressed or AC-3 formats. Anything else sent to it - different codec, or multichannel/surround - is ignored and you get no sound. But that's okay!
Most of the things I watch that have stereo sound I just want to listen to through the TV anyways - TV shows, old non-spectacle movies, documentaries, all that sort of stuff. When I have a Big Movie with a #surround soundtrack, that's when I want to listen to it through the fancy speakers and the #AVR.
With my old #Onkyo, this was easy: the receiver always played the sound through itself and also sent it to the TV. If I wanted simple stereo, I'd just mute the receiver. If it was a surround sound thing, the TV just ignored it.
The #Denon... doesn't do this. I have to configure whether to output the sound through the TV, or through the AVR. There's no option for "both".

Can someone please explain this to me. Here’s two pictures of the setting sun at identical times of the day but a week apart. In one, from tonight, the sun is an orange orb in a blue sky, the other is a conventional, and rather pretty, sunset. I just can’t figure out why tonight’s setting sun didn’t illuminate the sky??? #hivemind #sunset #notsunset #edinburgh
#Hivemind: does anyone know who played #guitar on the #MiamiVice #theme by #JanHammer, and if so, who was it? #guitarists #soundtracks #instrumentals #music
A tax-funded national news outlet should always contain a comment section on every article—
with ID verification to prevent trolls.
If articles miss nuances and/or insights they are so often provided by succinct comments.
A tax-funded radio station should not be allowed to run ads.
I'd love to listen to classical music radio #Klara, but their ads completely undermine the musical peace of mind.

A question for the #HiveMind
I nuked my WordPress vanity blog for reasons. Now I'm seeing some equally vain reasons to stand up a static site. Can anyone recommend a very simple static site generator? I tried Pelican but made such a mess of the install that it can't even throw meaningful error messages.

Any #Russian speakers familiar with a card game called "Пасур"/"Pasur?"
Its a favorite among my family, but I'm trying to figure out the meaning of the name.
The Wikipedia article claims the name comes from Russian, but there are no references, and a DDG search only came up with a mention of place names.
Any wonderful #Musicians on #Fedi feel like taking a crack at guessing the chord progression here for #piano (and transposing it to the key of C pretty pretty pretty please? XD )

Hey cat parents,
I let #FloofDaughter #Mira play with one of my [wool dryer balls], and she loves batting it around, but now the ball is shedding, and I want to get rid of it.
What's a good substitute? Something relatively cheap, soft, light, and that won't make a mess? ;)
HELP!
I need to install a #TOTP app and don't want to use Google's. Any recommendations that are more privacy compliant? #hivemind #degooglify
Ok, looks like I do need to buy a new #printer, I am no longer able to keep the old one hobbling along. Of course I have read the horror stories about enshittification and DRM, including finally Brother. Please advise me on the least horrible one I can buy.
