Listening for the third time to the amazing speech of @aral at the EU Parliament, this time looking at a better video which contains also his slides:

https://video.lqdn.fr/videos/watch/861c07f7-7e9b-4e64-9765-cf1de592c8a0

At minute 12:20 he rocks and says:

"You are acting as an unpaid Research and Development department for silicon valley. Because if a startup here succeeds, it gets bought by Google or Facebook. If it fails, we pick up the bill."

😍

@Wolf480pl the unix philosophy is one tool to do one job extremely well. The average Linux distro uses systemd as its init system.

Systemd is the polar opposite of the unix philosophy.


Notable exceptions: Slackware and Gentoo. I'm sure other distros don't use systemd but this is outside the scope of my comment.

What would it cost to store all 2018 phone calls in Norway? at http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/What_would_it_cost_to_store_all_2018_phone_calls_in_Norway_.html - discuss at https://freepo.st/freepost.cgi/post/knrbfndkn1 #freepost

ssb has a lot of things right, i just can't stand their javascript/electron bullshit.

more than that, i can't stand compiling leveldown and libsodium 11 times every time there's an update.

Impressive talk by @aral at the EU.. My prefered quote: "You are acting like an unpaid researcher in a development department for Silicon Valley!
Because if a startup here succeed it gets bought by Google or Facebook. If it fails we pick up the bill. Why are you doing this?"

List of open-source speech synthesizers (names of packages available in AUR):

- sam (the voice of Commodore 64)
- mimic
- espeak (most well-known)
- epos
- milena
- mbrola (sounds the most natural among these)

They produce various flavors of a robotic voices.

Mbrola and Espeak are easily used wit the Gespeaker front-end.

@aral made such an important speech at the EU commission, packing a lot of stuff.

I cannot stop laughing at this reference, though. 🤣
