@hank @marcellerusu Talon seems to be the way to go but I didn't uae it much yet cause it was daunting. I've liked slowly building my own scripts :P https://talonvoice.com/
@hank @marcellerusu I dunno if I'd say "Good" per se. It kinda works but I think I need to find a more accurate vosk model. I use Nerd Dictation with some custom scripts for making coding easier. https://github.com/RangerMauve/mauve-dictation
@Blue_Jersey Excellent thank you I'll check em out and see what my coworkers think 🙇

@mauve Unrelated, but I watched a video on a PeerTube instance the other day and was pleasantly surprised that it just worked? I downloaded most of it from other peers, uploaded a bunch, no buffering or video playback hiccups and looked great at 1080p. Pretty wild stuff.
Kind of astounding that mastodon has had complaints about newly followed accounts not having their posts loaded since 2016. https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/34
K I'll admit that some software is cool and a delight to use the Elisa music player on #KDE is awesome and does all the stuff I need consistently and efficiently. V thankful for their existence.
@ajroach42 What other ones have tried so far? I find ps4 comfy cause they're pretty light
Anyone else going to #Spintercon in #Montreal next week?

Hey we're a small group who put together a FREE programme of presentations around low-tech, permacomputing, collective tech practices, extraction, and ewaste.
Saturday 2 December, Amsterdam
https://whatis.permacomputing.net
Come and join us, listen to talks, ask questions, hang around and plot together about pmc and related practices.
with: Abdelrahman Hassan @cmos4040 @latentspace @l03s @marieverdeil @michal @neajul @praxeology Shailoh Phillips, Sunjoo Lee @unbinare
FOMO alert: nope it's not streamed and probably won't be recorded, *but* surely you know a lot of cool people around you doing connected things, 
what about you try to organise something local as well? See https://permacomputing.net/getting_started/
you know it's party time when there's four terminals kn the screen at once with several tabs each >:)

A bad thing about social media is this pattern where a person with expertise starts rebutting bad ideas, and it’s great, but over time it primes them to see everyone who doesn’t hold exactly their opinions as part of a horde of goons with terrible ideas, because that’s who they end up interacting with.
Eventually their online persona is, like, Truth Gladiator. And that’s so much less interesting and important to me than Thoughtful Person With Useful Perspectives.

i suppose this is how it's going to go:
1. google chrome bans ad blockers
2. users move to other browsers to surf the web
3. google, youtube, and a ton of other sites that depend on ad revenue dongle themselves to google chrome (and/or any browser that blocks ads)
4. community browsers spoof google chrome but block ads
5. websites try to detect fake chrome browsers
6. *tom & jerry chase sequence*
7. google becomes a huge fan of the idea of running only "trusted" apps on computers
@BigTittyBimbo Bars after restaurants closing can be a place to find em :P
Figured out a portion of my email troubles and got some sleep and suddenly I feel a bit less angry at computers :P
@skryking Ixf you ever wanna microdose the Steam OS experience, run Arch with KDE and forbid the use of installing or configuring anything outside of your user folder. :o One effect is that I usw homebrew for everything on the cli now.
@skryking I'm jot sure tbh. I could probably make some sort of script to restore deleted configs after an update but honestly I don't have time time to spend on anything like that. I just need a computer I can run code on. It almost feels like it'd be better to ssh or rdp into a more stable box or something 😅
Computer software is not a joy to use. Especially if you care about things being "cross platform". The best program is the one you don't run.
@jackdaw_ruiz People shouldn't be allowed to own things they don't have a personal attachment to.
Made the mistake of trying to give QT another shot.
