Oh my god, Pied JUST WORKS!
I can't believe my ears! :psyduck:

I just installed Pied's flatpak package, let it install Piper, then downloaded the best English voice I could find ("Lessac", the basis for most other voices), and told Pied to set it as the Speech Dispatcher voice…

Now Orca sounds natural, and I can stand using it, for the first time in 20 years. :blobmiou:

Video below demonstrates reading this post.

@philip @thomasfuchs I agree wholeheartedly! I'm a major proponent of backwards compatibility and I wish businesses used more pressure to force all these big tech companies to have indefinite backwards compat instead of breaking things to reinvent the wheel yet again.

@rayckeith @thomasfuchs Big mood. Had a similar experience on Android recently. Like there's no good reason it should be so unstable.

Also why I like Linux. Don't gotta update nothing so long as it's running. >:P

@thomasfuchs Except when the OS updates and breaks everything every few years. 😭

Google and Apple are singlehandedly keeping developers employed by forcing companies to change everything to keep up with breaking changes / app store requirements.

Kinda why I like shitty web apps with little JS in them.

IMO react makes stuff more annoying for everything except dynamically updated lists. Low key I miss Angular style data binding libraries.

Also apparently backbone is still a thing? backbonejs.org/

Groups: "Let's go around and have everyone share a fun fact."

Neurotypical: [A fact about themselves that's quirky in the most beige, unoffensive way possible]

Autistic: [A decontextualized deep slice about one of their special interests... maybe followed by a series of similar facts as they get increasingly excited]

ADHD'ers: [A decontextualized obscure connection that they made between two seemingly unconnected things... followed by a 30 minute attempt to provide the missing context]

I was corrected for saying “real name” when I meant “legal name.” So, a reminder:

Your LEGAL name is a name that identifies you for official purposes.

Your REAL name is the name by which a practitioner of the occult arts could conjure you in a summoning circle and bind you to complete a task.

@alina I use nano in the same way. 🤪

If I need a tool I call it from bash. (e.g. linters)

I wish there was an easy way to use LSP from bash in a way that doesn't interrupt my flow

If it's socially acceptable for dogs and cats to get the Zoomies, it should be socially acceptable for me too.

I should get to stop whatever I'm working on, and run around being crazy for 5 minutes, and everyone should laugh and say I'm cute.

After writing about people going into delusional spirals with ChatGPT and having what look like mental breakdowns, I wanted to understand exactly how it happens.

A corporate recruiter in Toronto who spent 3 weeks convinced by ChatGPT that he was essentially Tony Stark from Iron Man, agreed to share his transcript after breaking free of the delusion.

We analyzed the transcript & shared it with experts. Now you can see the interactions & how delusional spirals happen:
