I can vouch for whisper.cpp . It’s not 100% perfect but it’s good enough to transcribe a half hour podcast with numerous speakers and which requires pretty minimal fixing afterwards.

Wolf Hall, because the books were brilliant and this, although not as good as the book is also very good and has Mark Rylance in it, who is always fantastic.

Looks like yunohost with a nicer interface but less apps and less config options.

Sure, but the body of the post mentions donating to devs and instance owners. I’m being pedantic I know, but I think it would be a more informative post if it’d made clear what the donation numbers refer to and what they don’t.

As an add-on (sort of) to Borg, I was told about Vorta yesterday and installed it to run scheduled, encrypted backups of my local machine to an external drive, but you can also ssh to a remote server if you wish. Works like a dream.

Right. My instance maintainer accepts donations via Ko-fi, which isn’t even listed here.

If you’re not wanting to use JS then you’re reliant on the users browser supporting prefers-color-scheme (caniuse) or forcing them to reload the page.

I’ll see your Star Trek and raise you The Culture.

Without wanting to stir that hornets nest again, it wasn’t so much about that four letter company reading what we wrote on Lemmy that people were concerned about, more that it was inevitable wed end up seeing content from the sort of right wing shitfest accounts like libsoftiktok etc and the so-called minority groups here would be brigaded by masses of these people.

Ha. Ha. Ha. Humans are funny

No, I don’t think so. Today I’ve read and participated in some great threads about UK politics, the books people are currently reading, some great metal (the music genre) recommendations, Linux distros that are both privacy respecting but easy to use and a few other things.

I was on reddit pretty much from the start of the Digg migration. It’s not really comparable as reddit didn’t have subs or comments at first it was literally a link aggregator with votes. When they did start appearing it was OK and then it got increasingly not OK very quickly. I took long, long breaks from it over the years and every time I succumbed and returned with a new account it was noticeably a lot worse. I won’t go back again as it feels like every sub, even the smaller ones, are just bombs either constantly going off or about to go off. It thrives on negativity.

Lemmy simply isn’t like that. I’m not naive enough to think it never might be, but right now it’s not. Of course there are fall outs and anger but not at the same level of constant vitriol I got accustomed to seeing on reddit.

Progressive ideas that have the concept of putting people first at their core. Creativity, imaginatively expressed, as art, code, music, literature, poetry, media.

Basically most things that aren’t made with the express purpose of generating money.

You’ve already got for-profit prisons in the US where inmates (slaves) are hired out.

What do we know about how a for-profit system works? That’s right - profit must always keep growing, or to put it another way, incentivising the process of creating criminals in order to increase the potential for a growing slave labour market is a growth industry.

Just because something doesn’t have the literal name ‘slavery’ attached to it, doesn’t mean it isn’t actually slavery in every respect that matters.
