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

Looks like a steam game page to me. What’s missing?

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

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.

Been pretty good. I only use a few of the things they provide but it’s all worked well. The android app is sort of janky because it’s mostly several other apps, but I don’t blame them for not developing a shiny app for their service.

Mostly I sync contacts, some nextcloud stuff, and use their XMPP server.

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

Actually not what? And yes, I know. Apparently they think that’s a bad fit for the thing they’re doing. If you disagree, it’s open source, fork it and implement it.

It’s doing fine? I don’t use their email so I can’t speak about that, but… Did you have any specific questions?

Or maybe they just think it’s a bad idea? Personally, I do too.

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…

That would be the very worst malware. I mean both the malware that installed it and win11…
