@jplebreton how exactly do these words go together in a sentence? 🤔🫣🙄

@ericalaeta I absolutely cannot let a show remain partially unwatched once I started, I need closure. This has led to a great deal of frustration 🙄

@NanoRaptor being the old guy in a tiny cramped workshop who can repair everything in the neighborhood, from teddy bears to home fusion reactors.
(Yes, this will inevitably still have to involve some computer tinkering. Worth it. 🤷)

@ericalaeta Prime example 😑 (particularly since season 4 🙄)

@eaganj Agreed, the Knives Out series is pretty good 👍 Glass Onion is the kids' favourite movie, to the point where it's starting to get a bit stale for the rest of the family 😉

P.S. Also seems to apply to Disney+ by now 😑

@inthehands I've been saying for a while now that LLMs just let a bunch of vapid people cosplay as CEOs 🤷

@mwichary You had me at "Datenfernübertragung" 👌

@Koefoed har du allerede kigget på Openstreetmap? De har ALT (skraldespande, siddebanke, ...) så måske også luftpumper?

@nblr Hmmmm. Not a bad idea at all, although anything that requires the user to do extra actions (even just clicking "Send") will probably lower the response rate significantly...

@tfiebig Hah, nice idea! 👍

@vanellopemint Wonderful story, and a _perfect_ intro to this little bit of Eurodisco: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZnusVb7yjs

@tfiebig Sure, _I_ could, and you as well, but certainly not many people who want to create surveys, my own students ended up using Google Forms 🙄. I was hoping for some sort of public research infrastructure, like OSF.

The best I could figure out on OSF would be to upload data snippets as new versions of an existing file, and then pull all the old versions and splice them together again... but that would be super tedious, and probably also horribly ineffective on the OSF backend, if used at scale.
Is there any other way to get a non-profit, publicly hosted database as a drop-point for survey data?
(Also, the OSF auth tokens are very low granularity and would basically expose the whole account. Not good.)

A problem I've been thinking about for a while: let's say you want to make a custom online survey. Hosting the survey page itself is probably no big deal, but what about the backend for collecting the survey data? 
You could go with something like Google Forms, but it's rather inflexible and leaves you - again - at the mercy of $BIG_TECH. Why isn't this a feature of #OSF?

@aeva Ah, turns out you can embed a Google Form into another webpage, that might (mostly) solve the first issue. https://support.google.com/docs/answer/2839588?hl=en#zippy=%2Cembed-a-form-on-a-website-or-blog

@aeva Hmmm. I think the setup part could be solved by having the whole thing in the browser, but infrastructure and particularly participant recruitment are definitely an issue... 🤔

@aeva browsers can do WebMIDI, no? Perfect for a survey.
Edit: sorry, that actually requires a hardware synth: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_MIDI_API
But there are JS synths AFAICT.

@whitequark Arthur C. Clarke approves 👌

@spaf oooh, daaark turn 😅
