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. 🤣

For todays #FollowFriday I'm going to do something a bit different. We have a lot of new users, one of the biggest surges we have seen in a while. As such a lot of new users are looking for high quality, long-standing, accounts to follow. Similarly many of the new users need some help getting attention and making new friends.

As such I am going to do this #FF in a few parts. One for old users I have mentioned in previous posts, as well as some of the new users who have been making quality posts and been active for at least a week now. Hopefully this will be more helpful.

Also a section for some bots might be useful.

I will use a persons profile description here as I dont want to misrepresent anyone.

did you know that the #9front compilers have warnings for binary shifts that exceed the integer type's width? /bin/5c is surprisingly user friendly sometimes. (but the syntax errors could still use some work)

How can you not label a country as ”authoritarian (racist) regime” when you see this militarized police equipped like that when they come to look for immigrants…

(yes, this is ICE in the USA...)
