Question for those who own the Bible Courier: what TTS engine does it use? I have to admit that I'm intrigued by this device but I haven't yet seen it. Its price of $100 is just high enough that I'm not quite sure I want to order it but I am thinking about it ..

A gem by @pluralistic from a couple of months ago:
"Geometry hates Tesla, and physics hates Starlink. Reality has a leftist bias. The future is fiber, and public transit. These are both vastly preferable, more efficient, safer, more reliable and more plausible than satellite and private vehicles. Their only disadvantage is that they fail to give an easily gulled, thin-skinned compulsive liar more power over billions of people. That's a disadvantage I can live with."

I was like “LOL gnome feels the same about Lunduke as I do!” and then they were dicks about it - upholding gnome’s reputation also, I suppose.
So what if some new member posts a link to Lunduke article not knowing about some unwritten rule… and they get banned? Yeah that’s rubbish. Write your rule down somewhere FFS. This will scare off new or unaware users.
Hell, until recently I wasn’t even aware that others disliked the guy as much as I do. The most info I got on him being disliked came from his own articles, which was amusingly helpful.

Huh. Speed limits on Ontario hwys changed. I mean, folk were already doing 120 if no cops around, so 110 no big deal, so far anyway. When it registers, will 120 turn to 130? Not great for pollution, but we have an idiot PM who isn't big into science or environment.

Speed limits increase on some Ontario highways, including parts of 401
The speed limit is increasing on several more sections of provincial highways starting July 12.Don Mitchell (Global News)
hey dont tell people "holy shit your phone is old you should get a new one, the security issues!!!!"
do you really think i am happy that my phone that ive only had for six years doesnt get security updates despite working fine?
do you think i can afford to replace it?
"well then you should get a dumb phone and use your laptop for other things"
are you fucking kidding me? really? 1) my laptop is even older, it's 17", and takes like 5 minutes to start up, im not carrying that everywhere and 2) MOST THINGS DONT HAVE FUNCTIONAL WEBSITES ANYMORE
and really, do you think i should have to afford to replace it?
there is no reason my Pixel 3, which runs apps PERFECTLY FINE, should be abandoned to the ages. it's also one of the few Pixel models that cant even be given a new OS, since no one has worked out all the model-specific issues with it.
there is no reason i shouldnt still be getting updates, and no reason i shouldnt be able to easily switch to GrapheneOS or something else.
stop calling me a bad user for being 1) poor and 2) unwilling to give in to manipulative capitalist planned obsolesence. yell at the people making these decisions. my phone is intact after six years. im proud of that and i will use this until it goes spicy pillow.
PS give us back battery replacing, SD cards, and headphone jacks

every single cent the EU seizes from bigtech in penalties should be redirected to fund @NGIZero
anyone with me?
in case you haven't heard yet: EU is planning wild budget cuts in the area of open source funding in their HORIZON program. This directly affects NGI big time.
dear @EUCommission , please continue funding NGI . If you don't there will be less and less tech and people left that are willing to develop and run europe's vision of a free and democratic internet.
