@tty Big mood. I periodically drift into hyperfixating on STT/TTS engines and pretty much every time I don't find anything that's both open source + offline-capable and actually usable 😭
Talon seems really promising, but the learning curve means I haven't had the spoons to actually invest into it.
@tty Ooo, vosk is super cool. I've been looking into it in the context of the nerd-dictation program. https://github.com/ideasman42/nerd-dictation
It's defs rough around the edges without extra processing. :x

I'll be presenting a featured session at SXSW on "The Ultimate Potential of VR: Promises & Perils"
Date: TBA
https://schedule.sxsw.com/2023/events/PP1143186
A chance to reflect on some of the more exalted potentials from my episode #1000, but also the ethical & moral dilemmas of XR that I’ve been covering for 8+ years.

Who needs sex when you have peer to peer databases?
Ah you see, it's a `raw` block of data instead of a `file`. *That's* why it can't copy it. It's obviously to so meaningfully different that it should error out. Yup. Great. Gotta love computers. 🙃
When people hire me to do consulting for p2p, it's not because I'm particularly smart. The APIs are usually really hard to work with and I've just spent many hours at this point smashing my face on the keyboard trying to figure out why it's saying "example.txt is not a file" when it very clearly is.
Is anyone using their #SteamDeck as their main machine? I was thinking about it and I think it'd be useful to just have a doc for it and have it replace my Intel NUC.
@tallship@public.mitra.social Oh wow, that's a lot of options. Thank you for compiling this list! I'll make sure to check some of these out this week and play around. :O

@xjix@mk.toast.cafe I really love the Mozilla Developer Network docs. I've been using it as a reference since I first started web dev back in like 2011 and it's just been getting better over time.
@tallship Oh yeah for sure. I usually use Tusky and it makes account switching super easy as well. I just happen to use my desktop for most of my day and avoid native apps like the plague.
Is there a fedilab web app or something I could self host?
I wish multi-window applications were a thing again, particularly with web apps. Instead of cramming all the UI on a single screen I'd love to have floating bits that I could dock among all my other windows.
See, I'd do the shitposting account if the Mastodon web UI made it less annoying to switch accounts. :P
@lumen @agregore Yup! I'm actually working on updating the `hyper://` protocol handlers to the latest holepunch versions of the stack in the next week or two. 😁
A bunch of the work on Agregore is intertwined with https://distributed.press and @compost via the Hypha worker coop. They're doing publishing, and Agregore is doing viewing. Hyper is part of the protocols we're supporting on both ends.

Mysterious Antennas Are Appearing in Utah's Hills and Officials Are Stumped
City officials have found around a dozen of the antennas and no one is sure what they're for. A city official said that there were no identifying marks on the antenna and that they’d been bolted into the stone and required special tools to remove. https://www.vice.com/amp/en/article/epzwya/mysterious-antennas-are-appearing-in-utahs-hills-and-officials-are-stumped

My friend mentioned that the Gideon Fhe Ninth series is related to #Homestuck and now I can't unsee it.
I'm reading Harrow the Ninth and they're literally in a similar scenario as Homestuck with ghosts and drama
@KIT_strong_WING I think the new Rust impl is the most focused on improving perf. They've still got a ways to go from what I understand though. https://github.com/n0-computer/iroh
