For anyone curious what TrueVoice ran through an AI model might sound like when speaking, I had it read a passage from an article. It's... Rather strange, that's for sure. I'm a little unsettled just by how hybrid it became.
@rommix0 I wish I knew what their underlying model is. It's why I haven't invested a lot of energy into jammable - recently I just downgraded my plan as well to stop getting monthly voice credits because it being a closed-system is a bit discouraging. You can't export your created models either but it's a way for them to keep a tight grip on the tech they are using, so not uncommon in corporate scenarios.
On May 2nd, 2024, I was arrested while reporting on the ground at Portland State University. I was documenting the police’s actions as they cleared an encampment and library occupation in support of the liberation of Palestine when, later that evening, I was arrested by the Portland Police Bureau while filming the violent arrests occurring in the park in front of the PSU library.
Following my arrest, I faced consistent harassment from the police until I was finally let out of jail early the next morning. This harassment included racist remarks, sexual harassment, misogyny, a cop taking a selfie with me as I was in handcuffs, and the persistent interruption of all my phone calls.
This experience has highlighted the critical importance of press freedom and the rights of journalists to report on public events without fear of arrest or intimidation. The need for transparency and accountability in our institutions grows increasingly urgent. And under a Trump presidency, protecting our First Amendment rights is more important than ever.
My trial was set to begin on January 27th. I was offered a plea deal multiple times, but I refused to plead guilty to a crime I did not commit. My commitment to uncovering the truth and informing the public remains steadfast, even in the face of these challenges.
You can read the rest of my statement at the link attached.
While the state loves waiting until the last minute to extend the punishment for as long as they can, I genuinely don’t think this would have been possible without support from multiple unions, the press freedom advocacy groups, and all of the solidarity. Thank you 🖤
Here's an AI Cover of the Jason Mraz Living in the Moment song by the Centigram TrueVoice engine - just as to my expectations, feeding lots of text with high inflection did improve the pitch range of this one significantly, so it's usable for a wider range of songs.

In fluent English, traditionally, It would be hyphenated when used as a compound adjective before the noun ("open-source software"), and not hyphenated when used as a standalone description ("this software is open source"). However, this distinction has been lost as hyphens generally fell out of favor starting in the 1990s, and later with the rise of international English.
Strictly speaking, however, in high-quality documentation, the distinction should still be made.
Last night, students blocking #Serbia universities called citizens in front of national television #RTS to protest against the media darkness.National television, which we all pay for through our electricity bill, does not inform the public about the protests and attacks on students, nor about the answers to the fall of the canopy in Novi Sad, when 15 people died and two are still in serious condition, with terrible injuries. We responded to the students' call. #Serbia #Beograd #studentiublokadi
Just Stop Oil protester, 78, has jail term extended after no suitable tag found, according to the Guardian. This is totally disgusting. Regardless of why she was incarcerated in the first place, this is not justice as I would define it. #JustStopOil #Justice
The private company that is contracted to provide the tags has failed to fulfil the terms of its contract, but, instead of punishing the failing company, or even working on some sensible alternative (as if a 78-year-old is a flight risk, or danger to the public), for blatant political reasons, they punish her.

After my #CVSS blog post, what feels like two hundred persons have pointed out that the CVSS field is not mandatory in the CVE records. It is a clarification that does not add much. The reality is that users seem to want the scores so bad that CISA will add CVSS nonetheless, mandatory or not.
CVSS is short for Common Vulnerability Scoring System and is according to Wikipedia a technical standard for assessing the severity of vulnerabilities in computing systems.
Another Formant TTS that didn't turn out bad as far as AI singing is Orpheus. However, its pitch range is very narrow, and breaks at higher pitches. It still didn't do too horribly with this Teenager in Love oldies tune, though. Sharing it for the amusement factor mostly. The voice can be used at jammable.com/orpheus-tts-engli…

@TheVoiceGuy it's a platform for AI voices, they used to be called vocify.AI but got a name change to avoid confusion with another product I bet. It's farily accessible now compared to what it used to be in the beginning, I've been using it for well over 1.5 years now.

sounds like a fair policy and helps to focus investigations and mitigations in more relevant findings. I would assume that a component defined as "legacy dependency". or system using it, is having more vulnerabilities and issues that should be addressed as well
While I fully agree with the notion, I think the wording might be open to interpretation. For a component to be considered "legacy" does it need to match all 3 of the things in the list or just one of them? Maybe some clarification can be added.
if it’s a supported version of the dependency then the issue should be reported to the dependency. If it’s not supported then there’s nothing for you or the dependency’s developer to fix.
Your conditions are such that there should be very few people affected. So it seems to me entirely reasonable, maybe there are exceptions you would encounter but you still have the ability to decide to do something in those exceptional cases.
I want to avoid the question "what is supported" because it is hard to keep such info up to date. So I try to find a line in the sand of what is definitely not used by anyone who cares.
sounds fair enough, if you want someone to maintain legacy stuff they should get paid / some sort of support contract be put in place. Also the upgrade route is free.
if the company I work for is doing this, they will keep doing it and insist it must be done for some stupid reason. If you issue a CVE about it, my company will be forced, due to required external audits, to stop doing this. So yes, making a CVE is a public good because it will call out poor practices more clearly and label them with a reason to stop that isn’t easy to ignore.
@berrange support for our releases is a different beast. We do not do support for old releases at all if the problem is not also still around in latest.
We're returning from our holiday and slowly homing in on maybe getting ready to consider looking at possibly doing another #GoToSocial release at some point soon or nearly-soon or whenever we feel like getting around to it.
the push notification code is now merged in #GoToSocial main, so that will definitely be in the next release :) we're mostly fixing bugs and stuff now, and polishing up bits and bobs, so expect 0.18.0-rc1 in a week or so probably! it should be a good one!

Včerejší výlet na katamaranu byl super. Plán byl vyrazit z přístavu Costa Adeje směrem na severozápad podél pobřeží až k údolí #Masca #Tenerife. Pluli jsme okolo monumentálního nejdelšího útesu v Evropě Los Gigantes, který je v některých místech vysoký až 600 metrů. U pláže Masca jsme zakotvili a byla koupačka. ⤵️
The jobs are being processed faster, now doing 120k jobs per day. There are 78k jobs remaining.
There were around 150k jobs for Jan 11th, it's almost through those. After that, there are only 4k jobs per day on average, meaning it will start processing a day every hour. I estimate it will start doing that around 1 or 2 pm CET today, so expect a lot of notifications start coming in after that. It should be all up-to-date around midnight (CET).
Last 24 hours from our #AirQuality monitor. This is a typical day when you can already smell it. We live in a residential area on the outskirts of #Brno and in winter the air quality tends to be (sometimes much) worse than in the city center. All because of local heating systems that use wood and, to a lesser extent, coal.
Soft Voice is now live on Jammable. I'm not too happy with it as it took the breathier qualities of the voice rather than the stronger portions, so to me it does not sing well. However, use it if you have credits or the time for amusement: jammable.com/soft-voice-tts-pz… (ETI-Eloquence 3.3 is in training and will probably sound much better)
@peertube @macfranc @filippodb ho fatto il grande passo. Vero, per queste cose avrei anche Wikimedia Commons, ma il gusto di far rodere di invidia i mainstream media ha un fascino tutto suo.

I was bad, and made a Jammable voice for the Amstrad Speech Synthesizer Voice. Barely had enough audio, but it didn't come out too bad. Attached is a cover of it doing Harry Chapin - Cat's In The Cradle. If you wish to try or use the voice, here's the link: jammable.com/amstrad-speech-sy…

@twynn ooh thanks! I re-updated the post with the attachment again, that's really annoying as Tweesecake even after the edit acted like it's there. Always found audio uploading with it more tricky.

TalkBack image descriptions on the OnePlus 13 are powered by an on-device generative AI model from Google.
So I guess this confirms the OnePlus 13 indeed supports the multimodal Gemini Nano model.
The model occupies about ~4GB of space so I hope more use cases emerge for it. Once the AI Edge SDK opens up more, I'm hoping some 3P apps start to use it.

Haven't read this yet but this hole plan is honestly hilarious when you take into account that on the day he was inaugurated, a Chinese company (Deepseek) released a model that is essentially on par with o1 and open and free for commercial use.
Just wondering if anyone has used WritingTools and if it's accessible. I'd like to try it but I can't find the download link for the latest Windows version.

For all you retro text to speech nerds out there, here's a recording of Superior Software's "Speech" for the Amstrad CPC computer (1986). This was a small piece of Z80 machine code that played phonemes through the computer's AY-3-8912 sound chip
It sounds pretty harsh, and there are a number of hard clicks in the output I couldn't easily fix.

When the Saxons arrived and asked the Welsh the name of that hill, the Welsh said "pen" which means "hill" in Welsh. So the Saxons used their word for hill, "tor," and called it Torpen (hill hill).
The Norse added the their world for hill "Haugr". So now it was Torpen Haugr (Hill Hill Hill).
Later, the English called it Torpenhow Hill (Hill Hill Hill Hill)
Edit: Those saying "English don't call it that". I'm English and I called it that in this very post. Bazinga.
