And there we go. The joy of free drinks and less direct social pressure compared to school coming with working at the office 40h a week has now turned into frustration and being annoyed. Why, oh just because of people who have major communication issues, ableist ideods, inaccessible tools, stupid regulations for u18 people, the fact that I'm the youngest, some more ableist comments, inaccessible tools, the fact that AI is going to take my job anyway and I don't even know if I like what I'm doing. I mean heck I'm fucking 16, what do you even expect? But well guess my teenage years are ruined anyway. At this point I'd love to know the cause for this all. Is it me, is it this country, is it a test, can I ever expect something better? Oh yeah in case you haven't noticed I'm totally fine and absolutely not pissed. On that note can't remember the last day someone seriously listened to me or my struggles. Screw this superficial world.

I have a challenge for @Tamasg. I would like to see if he can attempt to make an NVDA addon for the Panasonic CyberTalk synthesizer. Here is a link to the files needed:

dectalk.nu/Software%20and%20Ma…

According to when I did exporting of the DLL functions of ttsapi.dll), it sounds promising, though I'm not a developer by any means, and I know that he is working extensively on the NV Speech Player addon.

AI at its best: the review we requested from Google's "security" console (quotes intended as questioning the term) "failed". I'm pretty sure, with not a single human involved.

Works. </s>

So whenever Google's "safe" browsing warns you about something, make sure to check for yourself (if you can) – do not blindly trust them. Being Big does not imply being competent. Obviously.

But sure, put them into control of everything, what could go wrong…

They are coming to FOSDEM, maybe we can give them something to go back with? I have few things myself, but I am sure the ones coming will have very little authority or speaking power.
You may have seen how they are hiding behind the banking apps now and getting them to make sure people only use foogle store, and thereby bypassing the open market ruling.
I am going offtrack I guess. Frustrated tbvh.

Apple Fitness+ is now available in Japan, but instead of using local trainers, and being one of the most wealthy companies in the world, Apple has dubbed existing workouts with AI-generated versions of the trainers' voices.

Japan finally gets Apple FItness+, lazily using AI-generated dubs
