@BBCRD what is the current status of the baptools project?
"The Broadcast Audio Production Tools set currently includes an implmentation of a BBC peak programme meter (PPM), a loudness meter, and a audio time offset calculator."
Die Unis heften sich die Erfolge ihrer Mitarbeiterinnen bei der Einwerbung von renommierten Projektgeldern zwar gerne auf die Fahnen, doch sind sie nach Auslaufen eines Projekts nur selten bereit, die federführenden Wissenschafterinnen aus eigenem Budget weiter zu beschäftigen. Sobald die Drittmittel aufgebraucht sind, endet typischerweise auch der Dienstvertrag.
@Nicolaz I didn't see an #Introduction post so hi! Really glad to see you here! If you need any tips on using the fedi, I'd be happy to help or point you to links that can get you started easier.
@Nicolaz Hmm. Best 2/3 tips, follow hashtags and groups, not people. use directories like the Trunk, and finally, it's okay to lerk and not reply despite what others tell you! My full guide is here with some apps/user directories, etc. Link at end.
The hashtags I'd recommend are below. My guide has directories to follow.
hashtags are the best way to find new people in addition to the directories I outline in my guide, etc. Below, you can see some communities/groups I like and follow.
Indo-European Interfaces: Integrating Linguistics, Mythology and Archaeology
“With this book, we want to apply a multidisciplinary approach that combines historical linguistics, archaeology, and comparative religion in order to improve our understanding of the early speakers of Indo-European.”

Active moderation against racism, sexism, homophobia and transphobia
Users must have the confidence that they are joining a safe space,
free from white supremacy, anti-semitism and transphobia of other platforms.
this is a smoke screen.
Liberation must be for EVERYONE. Or all it does is change who gets to be on top.
NO SUPREMACY should be encouraged
We need a universal ban on hate for ANY protected group
IF I HEAR ONE MORE CLAIM OF HOW THERES SOME INVISIBLE MAGICALLY ENFORCED RANKING OF "HIGHER VALUE". ON SOME DISABILITY HIERARCHY BASED ON "REASONS" I AM GOING TO SCREAM
We’re charged with driving innovation for BBC News. Our team of technologists and journalists explore how new tools and formats affect how news is found and reported.
@BBC_News_Labs We are glad you're here, but a little sad your content is languishing. I hope your low engagement with the fediverse will be considered as you evaluate the success or failure of this experiment. As it is, I get most of my BBC content on fediverse via bird.makeup bots. But it sure would be great to get it direct from social.bbc
@darren hi, this is an account for our news innovation team and we just post when we have new work to highlight or talk about. If all goes well we're hoping to get more accounts going
Hello to our new followers, which, for the one and only time, is everyone...
We'll be verifying our account very soon, but in the meantime, our top level domain should hopefully help confirm our identity, and we've also written about why we're here on Mastodon, what was involved to get here, and the other BBC accounts you can follow.
I wonder if the whole #AI thing will finally convince artists that modern #copyright regime was never meant to protect them.
It was meant to protect the middlemen. The Amazons, the Spotifies, the Sonys, the Disneys. The film studios, the publishing houses.
Now the middlemen figured out they own basically all of art, and that they can just train a computer on that, to replace artists with a piece of software.
And then stop paying artists even the pittance they were being paid so far.
@rysiek If you consider Audiobook Narrators to be artists and audiobooks to be art (I do, honestly, on both counts), then here is a link to my catalogue of high heat audiobooks:
@AdaraAstin I absolutely do consider audiobooks art and audiobook narrators artists. Many books get a completely new shine, new depth, in an audiobook version!
@BBCRD So awesome! Would be excellent to see (some time in the future) any public over-time stats of the #fediverse from your perspective, ie fediverse growth, countries, platforms, some sort of clusters by "topic" of other servers directly connected to yours, etc! #MakeInternetDistributedAgain : P
Just had my son diagnosed. I lied and said we were getting further advice about his dyslexic strengths and weaknesses. Because I didn't want to tell him unless we were sure as being an adolescent is hard enough.
What's a really good resource that I can use to help explain what it means?
I'm looking for Edinburgh Fringe shows about hidden or forgotten history! I feel like I saw lots of shows like this advertised last year, and I didn’t actually see any of them. Please recommend these to me 🥰💛
