Fuck off, microsoft…

I use piper TTS. Probably not as good as the fancy AI APIs, but it’s all local and runs from command line and is good enough for my purposes. YMMV.

Nope.

and it hasn’t been able to capitalize on the many waves of exodus and twitter controversies for over two years now

Capitalize in what way? We’re not in a competition with Xitter or anyone else for users.

Yes, but not for a specific feed. It’s all or none. You could make individual url files for each feed and call them in sequence with cron or something, but that’d probably get unwieldly. You can also (I think…) control the format of the notification.

Just commenting to give more love to helix. It’s my favorite “small quick edits” editor.

It doesn’t matter how/if they’re linked to the attack, just that he said the magic evil words. Kind of like socialism and communism.

What war? And I’m pretty fine with much of the people on reddit staying there. They’re a good part of why I came here.

It’s pretty good for very early software. A bit more work and I’d probably use it.

Xfce. It does what I want it to do and little else.

HA-HA. Good.

Xubuntu on my desktop/laptop, debian on a server. Mostly because while I really like tinkering with things, I usually just want shit to work so I can get something done.

RSSGuard for most things, newsboat for keeping track of software releases on github.

Xfce. Partly because I’ve used it for a long time, but mostly because it does what I need it to do and little else.

It apparently doesn’t like me using a VPN. 🤷‍♂️

It should steganographicaly hide all of their data in rickroll videos.

I may get hate for this, but… I do this a fair bit because I prefer TUIs for a lot of stuff, and also end up doing a lot of things in emacs because I usually have it open anyway…

Hello fellow fish user.

Disown is. I even have a fish function written so I can do ‘launch foo’ and it’ll run foo, redirect everything to /dev/null (not sure that’s necessary, but doesn’t hurt), and then disowns the process. Mostly because I have a habit of running stuff using whatever terminal I happen to have in front of me.

Vivaldi is pretty nice and was my main browser until the announcement about MV3, but Vivaldi isn’t going to support it beyond whenever google removes MV2 from the source (IIRC, Vivaldi folks expected it around June next year). But I saw the way the wind was blowing and decided to jump ship while I could still do it and take my own sweet time doing so. In retrospect, glad I did. Still miss some features like markdown notes and sidebar web pages, but it’s still better than being buried in ads.

I usually go with Xfce.
