@canteen @atax1a Ha ha that's*exactly* what I do :P
Some STT folks invent their own phonetic alphabet to make it faster / more reliable but I wanted something more reusable in other contexts.
I've been considering adding a "mode swith" to disable the phonetic alphabet so I can use its words directly.

Speaking of RAM I might end up upgrading to the higher spec GPD WIN 4 model since I keep running out. I have like 3 GB allocated to video ram right now and VS Code eats through half of the remainder just idling in a rust project. God forbid I open a zoom call then my Element client (which easily reaches 3GB) client gets killed by the system 🥲🥲🥲🥲
@aynish Yeah niri has been great. I just stooped thinking about layouts entirely and scroll left and right. I was kinda put off by tiling managers before because I didn't want to have to think about layouts so much and liked the chaos of having dozens on windows stacked on top of each other.
It's not for the faint of heart tho! You need to set up the xdg desktop portal and stufd yourself. They have guides though

My main win from using wayland natively is that my speech to text with `ydotool` now gets affected by keyboard modifyers. If I want to quit an application I hit my left bumper (mapped to ctrl) on my controller and say `quebec`. If I want to open my terminal I hit R4 and say "tango". Toggling my STT is R4+A (return jkey).
With this I am more effective with stt+controller than my mini bt keyboard. 🥳
Eventually I want to get a screen reader involved to more effectively navigate content.
@il_Lost_ Kinda related though, this group is making a bunch of useful primitives for cyberspace. https://v-sekai.org/
@stardustxr is doing great things for making your baseline OS desktop environment 3d-friendly.
This was a really promising project but it kinda crashed chasing crypto and ai hype. Their baseline for representing virtual projects and social features is super cool though. https://github.com/webaverse
I have some old writings here I need to update: https://blog.mauve.moe/posts/cyberspace-components
@il_Lost_ When I say cyberspace I mean the abstract concept associated with cyberpunk books like Neuromancer, not a specific app or protocol. 😅
Neat, came accross this alternative to the #SteamDeck
Seems to be aimed mostly at retro gamers but it also has a vr mode for some reason. I wonder if it can run linux >:)
BTW for anyone into #VR #XR #AR and #Cyberspace, I have a matrix channel set up where we chat about that stuff and how it overlaps with decentralized systems. https://matrix.to/#/#LoFirCy:mauve.moe
@technobaboo Oh jeeze. Upstreaming is more of a politics thing than a codebase thing IMO. sadly I don't think I have the clout for that yet. Igalia would be the folks to reach out to for that.
Occult Enby that's making local-first software with peer to peer protocols, mesh networks, and the web.
Exploring what a local-first cyberspace might look like in my spare time.
