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

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.

@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.

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.

@992jo
I sincerely hope that was a write-off, otherwise it is now ๐Ÿ˜‚

You're welcome! You can follow in more detail at https://review.video.fosdem.org/overview

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

And the prize for the first talk to successfully go through the FOSDEM review system goes to... "Unlocking development with ActivityPub Client to Server api", by "Django Doucet", in H.2215 at 13:10 today!

#FOSDEM cc @fosdem

It's 14:15 on the first day of @fosdem and all our encoders are (mostly) idle. Speakers, if you held a talk, please check your mailbox and review your video!

@counternotions
(But yes, that's because I was born early enough to have experienced it and to want it back)

@counternotions
Mine still does, after some about:config fiddling

@foone
Or you can use a tool to play multiple videos side by side.

4k can fit loads of SD videos side by side!

@nor4 There you go.

Brussels I am in you. #FOSDEM

@ravi
It does work; I vastly improved my English using that method (amongst others).

But in my experience, it only works if you understand enough of the language that you can get the basic structure of what is being said. Otherwise you can't focus on the written and spoken languages at the same time.

I agree with @joostvb 's recommendation to watch subtitled children's videos. Those usually have sentence structures that are simpler and therefore easier to understand.

@killyourfm
That's not true for those who were resuscitated at one point in their life more recently then half a lifetime ago.
