If it ain't fun, you're not doing it right.

Great expression that should be used more.

From Twitter

"My grandfather used to say "and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel" and I never knew what it meant until after he died my grandmother explained some magazine did a fluff interview with Magda Goebbels a few years before WW2 that included her strudel recipe and my grandfather, who hated the Nazis with the passion of 10,000 suns, thought it was an example of the media sanitising evil people and he would use the phrase when someone asked him to overlook a bad person doing bad things and focus on the good."

The link that I posted previously was the first result of a duck duck go search for 'Tesla door handles fire'. There are literally dozens of articles from different publications saying the same thing. You believing Tesla's lies that the door handles are safe doesn't make it so.
@randahl

@individual8
The point isn't that they're electronic or mechanic, it's that real-life experiences have shown that flush door handles are death traps.

Yes the design is done in such a way that the handles should come out when the car is involved in an accident. The key word here is 'should'. When (not if) it doesn't, you die.
@randahl

@individual8
There is reliable data out there that people have been burned alive in multiple incidents in Teslas because the car was on fire, and the door handles were recessed so people couldn't get them out.

e.g., https://www.autoblog.com/electric/report-at-least-15-fatalities-linked-to-tesla-doors-failing-to-open-in-fires

Sure they're pretty, but they're also a death trap.

The FOSDEM server team runs mirrorbrainz on video.fosdem.org, I don't know how that decides that the video is available on at least one mirror, but what causes the spikes in availability of videos must be in there somewhere.
@fosdem

@maarten
The dispatcher does a HEAD request for a single file of every talk that is in the publishing state, then inspects the returned data. If that indicates that the video is public, it moves to the next state.

Exact code at https://salsa.debian.org/debconf-video-team/sreview/-/blob/main/scripts/sreview-dispatch?ref_type=heads#L182-219

Welcome! I can't take all the credit though, it's a team effort

@joostvb
You're welcome!

Combination of crowdsourcing the bits that can't be automated and automating everything else means things do go fast ๐Ÿ˜‰

@cfgmgmtcamp
Pity. My colleague sighed up for that and is wondering if there is space in another workshop that he could still attend instead?

@fosdem On a side note, if your favourite talk is still listed as "preview" on https://review.video.fosdem.org/overview, please reach out to the speaker or devroom manager. They can review the talk and release it for viewing.

Right now, on the morning after #FOSDEM, if you started watching now and wanted to see all the currently available videos of talks that were held at the @fosdem that just finished, you have nearly 4 days ahead of you.

See https://review.video.fosdem.org/overview and https://dashboard.fosdem.org (the 'SReview stats' dashboard) to follow along at home.

If you are doing genuinely good things, and making the world better, I don't give a fuck why you're doing it. You want recognition and attention, so what. You're just doing it, because your friends are idgaf, you feel pressured from other people, who cares. We can spend so much time tearing apart motives and guess what, it doesn't matter, and most of the people screaming, "They're just doing it for attention!", aren't doing jack shit. We don't need to wait to do good things for the "right reasons", we can just do them. And we can most definitely shut up, about why other people are.

I sincerely hope that was a write-off, otherwise it is now ๐Ÿ˜‚

We try to keep it simple! Glad we succeeded for you ๐Ÿ™‚
@fosdem
