I think when I was growing up (not too long ago.. 30 years ago?) in Singapore / Malaysia, our former colonial masters the UK still seemed like an aspirational place to study in, work in, move to, live in. After all, so many of our relatives did.
Now? I have such a deep aversion to it. Even though I had a good run in London very briefly in the 00s.

How Much Would You Gamble on a Biden Comeback?
The Supreme Court just raised the stakes astronomically.Mona Charen (The Bulwark)
@cachondo Yeah exactly what I was thinking. A tiny linux console only pc for on the go, which is better than having a laptop imo because laptops are annoying with their battery life, with their fans that make it annoyingly difficult to clean them. It's not meant to be used everywhere, requires an actual power outlet... But still.
Hopefully they don't sell it for too high price.

Unpopular / controversial opinion:
Everybody and their dog is integrating AI features into their software. Are there some ideas for LO in that direction? Like connecting to AIs running locally or on other computers?
Some meaningful features (IMHO):
- Summarizing documents.
- Rewriting marked text (e.g. in easy language).
- Finding mistakes and suggesting corrections.
- Help assistant: How do I ... ; In column C, I want to ...
- Unobtrusive help suggestions (Clippy, but in good.)
Please keep this an optional extra.
By default no data should be taken elsewhere. Not even "summary usage" data.
That will be an advantage for LO.

I'm quite happy how upcoming performance improvements for #gnome Snapshot and #libcamera are shaping up. This is how things are now running for me on a #librem5:
#gstreamer #gtk #postmarketos #linuxmobile #mobilelinux
Similarly the #pinephonepro, which has a proper ISP.
These devices are really on the low-end performance wise - so if things run okay-ish here we should be good with all more powerful devices coming up.

Hey all. I finally overcame my anxiety and made this.
I'm asking for 1700 to help me pay down my debts and get on even footing so I can move forward with emergency dental treatment. Anything can and will help. If you're not able to help, please share for visibility.
I really need help with this and would appreciate any assistance more than you can imagine.
Thanks and all the love in the world.

So without some preprocessing we are at risk to produce some very bass-sounding voice, like aleksandr in russian.

I would love your profivox if I understand it :D
But I don't.
Vocalizer Mariska is a piece of szar, sorry, and Espeak sounds quite good but definitely not like a human at all.
I'm happy to participate in magyar RHVoice development even if I wrote just one little numbers parser and probably will parse Espeak's dictionary of exceptions to consider such words like cukroszacsko while training voices and using them.
