description of the Holocaust, fuck George Orwell

I'm digging how hackable the authors made Rhasspy. It's pythonic and the protocols are as human readable as possible. Python makes it pretty easy to find patterns in text and Rhasspy hides ~all of the complexities of voice. I can just write a script that accepts a string of words that were recognized, do whatever (call out to remote services, append the text to a file, ..), and then return text if I want the service to convert it to speech.

Well shit. looks like my matrix server is busted 🙃

@linmob @postmarketOS @danctnix Oh nice, ty. In the past I found Mnjaro with plsma mobile felt the most usable of thd options I tried, but I'm down to give postmarket another shot.

ty for the recs 🙇

tried flashing with the latest manjaro-mobile and now it just won't boot :P

tried to flash my again and it seems that there still major usability errors.

"Suspend seems to be breaking the lockscreen, requiring a reboot." and "Customizations might not last through reboots." seem like nonstarters for me 😅

Honestly I'm really happy with the simplicity of this tool. With it I can debug large datasets of data without needing to touch the network or maintain a web app.

Just created a new arcane spell "bafkqabanbigqu". It's a "Content ID" for the string `\r\n\r\n`.

@yosh TBH my main gripes with types has been when TypeScript is unable to match the types existing in JS libraries or in the Runtime. I think if I do another typed language like Rust where it's guaranteed to be 1-to-1 with the APIs it'd be way easier.

OK I admit it. Static types can help catch bugs sometimes. :P Lost a couple hours of work because I was using `.length` instead of `.recordLength`

There's a real benefit to using email software that doesn't rely on YOUR data to generate revenue or train AI.

@albinanigans Yeah, I'm pretty excited too. I've been doing waaaay too much digging on the matter. :P

I'm hoping some of the cheaper devices on the market will get decent support so that kids/youths can have access to devices that they have full control over instead of locked down consoles or school provided chromebooks.

@albinanigans @jalcine I think the GPD WIN 4 is a pretty strong competitor, but it's linux support still isn't as great as the deck. gpd.hk/gpdwin4

Hopefully some of the drivers and code for stuff like sleep mode will catch up this year.

@jalcine I think the reaction I'm seeing is that while it's more powerful than the deck hardware wise, the UX isn't as good. A big part of that is the trackpads on the deck and all the key binding customization that Valve added.
