I'm not using text-to-speech engines, I am bad at writing all by myself

  • After an article on Songo#5 that one sounded a bit dry. Maybe that's a side effect of prefering reliability over flashiness :) If there would be a second article about GammaOS, it wouldn't hurt to flesh out the process down to specific challenges the dev overcame, just anecdotes evolving while testing and fixing stuff, or talk about how community members participated in the development of said project, what opportunities Gamma sees there. And, for a really unique kind of gear I haven't heard of, I feel a bit puzzled as of what a second screen can bring onto the table when emulating single screen games, what other people came up with.

    Btw, there's a small typo in the Why the LineageOS? part, in image attributions concerning Fix/Fox person's photoes.

    Them marching proudly in their fathers' footsteps. To what we'd say good, but not nearly enough.

  • What was your top reference going into acting in Star Trek? What personal twists you added to that?

  • Yep, and I do this both on my noname e-ink reader and my phone (fb2reader or moon reader apps there). Downloaded audiobooks, whole another beast, are great in Voice app from F-Droid, if you choose this path.

    I didn't find it inconvinient to read on smaller button phones before and the difference between a dedicated healthier device and a modern smartphone mostly escapes me. This obviously excludes PDFs and manga/comics not adapting to your screen size like a basic e-book in epub/fb2 formats, so if you stick to one of those formats - you'd want an A5-paper sized device or more.

    Worse problem with some book for me is not a medium or an interface to consume it, but a lack of concentration, interest and/or habit. Life finds a way, and if you got captured by a book, you'd stop to see or care how you eat through it. But for a regular reading routine it'd be great to think of when and where you'd dedicate some time to enjoy literature, so it'd gain a momentum with you.

  • It depends on how long the book is and how were audio files compressed. I'd put an average of 450MBs per book as I inspect my non-app direct downloads, with 6 Dune books being 2,5GB, more individual ones been from 250MBs to 1GB. If you reconvert them yourself, you can set the target bitrate => size to barely tolerable levels if you will, and keep in mind that's still hours upon hours of joy, they worth it, and for tough books you can download them in parts. Idk how tight your space budget is, but I found it's pretty nice that the whole Dark Tower cycle by Stephen King, being cleverly shrinked by the uploader, took only 6,5GBs while giving me a month-long ride.

    Compared to most PDFs and EPUBs, audio is obviously a very bloated data source, but at the same time it provides a lot of advantages pure text can't.

  • Free Moon+ Reader haven't shown me any ads, maybe it's regional or something. I use it for years.

  • Leaving a job wit two weeks after an announcement probably.

  • But maybe if enough users switch to SteamOS, Adobe, and other software developers might port their software to it.

    I'd probably wait for mass public service adoption of Linux in EU (China, India?) at the very least. They would port Adobe Acrobat first as their scout, and then we'd see what comes next.

    In Russia the incertainity of Windows' availiability made local software companies consider, start testing or even produce releases for Linux because of FOMO. For global megacorps, there should be an incencitive, coming either from profits, out of fear or as a legal requirement.

  • Typical Derry folks: fearing everything to the point of joining a redhead clown

  • The mouthfeel vs the current

  • The LLM writing this feels almost sentient lol.

  • Imagine having a collection of Wikipedia backups and disclosing that on a first date.

    What are we reading today, babe? 2020q1, the Covid hoaxes? Yeah, that's the shit.

  • Swirl is destfuctive like almost everything in raster graphics with recompressing, but unswirling it back makes a good approximation in somehow reduced quality. If the program or a code of effect is known, e.g. they did it in Photoshop, you just drag a slider to the opposite side. Coming to think of it, it could be a nice puzzle in an adventure game or one another kind of captcha.

  • It's optimistic of you.

    I believe than, no, it wouldn't crash the whole ship, it's just they would feel a bit inconvinient if this would surface after the Trump is gone.

    Some Fortune 500 guys and top functionairees don't want themselves associated with the Eipstein mythos once Trump and his closer cronies take the blow.

  • The most problematic aspect to this, is that red button is in the hands of Starlink, so Musk, a pretty uncooperative person who wouldn't give it away.

    It seems ukrainian defence forces doesn't have many choices there. If the service allows whitelisting select stations (or rather promotes this option), they are pushed to work with it, unless they can demand a better ruleset for themselves.

    But as with all fucking whitelisting, there is a problem that an unreliable third party provider has pointers on the map on registered users with their identity glued to it. One ketamine nazi gets a nearly realtime info on ukrainian positions supplied with his company's stations that he or a hacker can leak anytime. And that's an insane vulnerability they are made to put up with.

    Wars in the TikTok era are fucking absurd.

  • The question is why he isn't redacted in that push? He is a dead man, so the logic behind this forced association may be that dropping him would also erase everyone else's wrongdoings. The cult of personality is useful both before and after the end of it, to bath in it's blood and come out clean. Who\what else did this person see there we don't know yet?

  • Not to say about these tightly packed thinking rocks enabling me to write that comment.

    Current protests could've used these vulnerable doorbell cams exposed by 404media earlier. Some breaches aren't like others. Is it bad it got reported before it found an unlikely application?
