From the standards world, to video player implementers, I have some questions:

How do you sync subtitles and captions with media on the web? currentTime? TextTrackCue? Something else? What is your target accuracy? How reliably do you meet it? How do you test?

Apparently β€œAI” can’t be trained on the sum of all human knowledge. And has the power requirements of a small nation. Whereas a child just needs a selection of Ladybird books and can run off a Sherbert Dib Dab for at least a couple of hours.

We'll keep running in circles if we don't seriously raise the question of public ownership of key tech infrastructures.

It's certainly being discussed.

That's my concern too, and why divesting to a nonprofit would be better.

While it's great to see so many people moving here from Twitter, I'd much prefer to be following you all on Mastodon
