I will never forget all the cynical gainsaying and disinformation about the strike on Al-Ahli hospital ten days into Israel’s destruction of Gaza. ‘Fog of war’. Almost three years later, fewer than half of Gaza’s hospitals remain even partially functional and there is no fog. Only dust and rubble.

I gave a talk last week about tech billionaires (we really don't like them) and how to fight them (labour organizing, it's always labour organizing). Come take a 9-minute break from producing shareholder value and watch! Thanks to @thewalrus.ca for inviting me for #WalrusTalks 🍁

i'd love to have better handwriting detection. it seems the best results these days come from cloud ocr apis, which i'm not terribly excited about using. maybe next time i revisit this i'll look into training tesseract. definitely looking for suggestions here.

for ocr i'm running tesseract in a subprocess after some preprocessing on the image. the results aren't particularly great and i ended up cheating by adding a step to confirm or correct the text on my computer before it runs it. you can hear me clicking in the video.
