It’s also a laundering scheme to make free software proprietary.

Ah. I usually conflate the two under “internet archive”.
What’s the second?
Every now and then I see a parent having a tender moment with their child and I smile. I then reflect on whether my vasectomy/shirk of parenthood was the right choice.
I always come to the conclusion that it was. Perhaps when I’m older I will feel differently but I just can’t imagine that in my life for a long time.
TIL about the Great Filter. Thanks for the rabbit hole!
Oof, and the others are barely motivational at best.
Yeah, normalize either being okay. Just like long or short hair. Diversity is the spice of life.
We need more people like you, regardless of the topic debated.
It’s not that they necessarily care, it’s that it’s the assumed default. So then I have to respond with “I can’t do that, can you upload it here?” it makes me the odd one out making people jump through hoops.
The iphone/non-iphone situation is utterly insane to me. I am constantly being punished for not having an iphone, be it texting or airdrop. These things should be standardized and interoperable, not owned commodities by companies. Grrr.
https://github.com/k2-fsa/sherpa-onnx has some apks you can download. The quality of the voice I’ve used is fantastic: I prefer it to Google’s to be honest. The program itself has been buggy for me, though… Needing to launch the TTS launcher before I can use any application that would use it
Shitty position to be in, where you are dependent on your competitor to foot the bill.
Baby boomers got burned more than Nero ever did!
Don’t hate it! You were just born in a different time. Your time will come where you have to explain to the young ones about how “smart phones” worked since they’ll just have their implants as interfaces. And also jetpacks.
And weird bugs like Windows audio somehow creeping into audio CD burns. Or the times in Linux where the tray would refuse to open or close. I used to keep a paper clip next to my next to force it open sometimes…
I don’t miss that hardware.
It took me until graduate school to learn that “mortified” is not another word for “scared”/“fearful”
It still looks that way to me what with mort in there!
It also took me a long time to realize that the word “awry”, which I read often in books and inferred its meaning, and “ah-rai” were the same thing. I thought awry was pronounced “aw-ree” and it was just a synonym for “ah-rai”.
And don’t forget the CLA!
I don’t disagree with that statement; however, that doesn’t make it something the general public will embrace. Its mess of extensions are top little too late. That ship has long sailed. And I say this as someone that prefers using XMPP for 1:1 chats
Indeed. Xmpp is lost as a general purpose chat app for everyone. I have many issues with matrix but it’s the best chance we have, particularly with bridges.
It could be a Facebook profile entry!
