It has .ia in the file name because it was processed with the Internet Archive’s MP4 tool which optimises the file for streaming by moving some content in the file around. Very common for Internet Archive files and nothing to do with AI.
That award was rescinded and given to Roy Dotrice for A Game of Thrones (2004) where he voiced 224 characters. I believe Jim Dale did hold the record before that though with 134 voices for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
I saw the original post and have set up a donation through liberapay. If we don’t want to be the product then we need to pay for the product!
Toasted but I do deviate from many here by preferring butter (French, salted) with jam (French, often strawberry). Much as the British crumpet is the best bread product, I will bow to the supremacy of French accoutrements.
Good weekend, although lots of tidying up and getting ready for some building work. Spent some time down by the river over lunch on Saturday.
The week was busy - we are over stretched at work and I could do with more people!
Cello TVs are god awful unfortunately. We used them at work and we had something like 7 returns on 6 TVs. Hopefully their carbonator is better!
I’ve bought Kernow Chocolate for a few Christmas gifts before - it’s really good: https://www.kernowchocolate.co.uk/

Underrated reference.
Truly awful name!
You mean right and wrong :)
Hopefully I won’t get shot for recommending a Japanese brand but if you get a chance to try the Sony WH-1000XM5s I find they work well over my glasses.
I pay the server admins for feddit.uk (the instance this community is hosted on) to help with hosting costs because I think they provide a valuable service. Currently I am not paying towards Lemmy (I do pay towards Mastodon development however) but I may start doing that in the future.
My £5 a month to Feddit.uk and £1 a month to Mastodon isn’t much but it’s orders of magnitude more than Reddit and Twitter would have earned from my (adblock using) eyeballs before so hopefully a few of us paying a few pounds/euros/dollars directly is enough to support the services.
Edit (approx. one month later): I am now supporting Lemmy development directly, ~$5 a month which I hope makes it sustainable if enough people contribute.
I will always upvote Kung Pow!
This is pretty standard for US companies in general.
How is that rate possible? My UK (Octopus) electricity rate is 23.44p/kWh. The energy price cap is 24.5p/kWh. There cannot be anyone out there offering a price of 6p/kWh - I suspect you are looking at your gas price (where 6p/kWh would be about right)
Yep https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-microSD-MicroSDXC-MB-MD1T0SA-AM/dp/B0CWPNS8JY $99.99 it shows for me - not sure how taxes work on this (I’m not American) but that probably counts.
Never let the general public name anything if you want a serious name! I think Leaf-Fall Weapon should have won.
