LLM speech-to-text.

It appears continuous speech recognition is possible, but I only got as far as recognition of an audio file.

Still very cool!

Grab the Live Captions flatpak

Thanks! While flatpaks are not the Gentoo way, I’ll give it a try.

Mainly Firefox. It has quite a good extensions engine, but the overall UX just still isn’t there compared to other browsers. I really don’t care about all the ethical or moral reasons people try to come up with for using it, I just want a browser that has a lot of good functionality in comparison with Edge or Vivaldi.

And while I am aware of some of the forks like Floorp and Librewolf, I find the latter to be too hardened, and the former to be behind compared to upstream.

Firefox is really pretty customizable, more than most other browsers.

I've been using this theme:

This is the one I’m using, if anyone needs another suggestion. I also have some local modifications to remove the minimum tab size. I don’t have a hoarding problem.

Wanting to spin-up but constantly delaying…

The dependencies and wonky updates mean it’s not a bad thing to wait but it is good.

FrederikNJS ,

The dependencies get drastically easier if you use Docker. Likewise many, but not all of the upgrade issues also get fixed with Docker.

the lack of XWayland support scares me

I’ve been using niri lately and couldn’t believe so many apps wouldn’t launch. I didn’t know that was the issue. I had been manually editing so many desktop entries to make them work…

Estroge- oh, I’m in the Linux community whoops

No, no - legit! Do go on.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Estrogen, is in fact, GNU/Estrogen, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Estrogen. Estrogen is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Estrogen, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Estrogen, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Estrogen is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Estrogen is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Estrogen added, or GNU/Estrogen. All the so-called Estrogen distributions are really distributions of GNU/Estrogen!

Is your gender POSIX-compliant?

“I use Estrogen as my operating system,” I state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. He swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision. “Actually”, he says with a grin, "Estrogen is just the kernel. You use GNU+Estrogen!’ I don’t miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "I use Alpine, a distro that doesn’t include the GNU coreutils, or any other GNU code. It’s Estrogen, but it’s not GNU+Estrogen.

The smile quickly drops from the man’s face. His body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth and drops to the floor with a sickly thud. As he writhes around he screams “I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT’S STILL GNU!” Coolly, I reply “If Testosterone was compiled With gcc, would that make it GNU?” I interrupt his response with “-and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. Even you were correct, you wont be for long.”

With a sickly wheeze, the last of the man’s life is ejected from his body. He lies on the floor, cold and limp. I’ve womansplained him to death.

fish. I think it has most things i want out of the box, so it should be simpler and snappier than my zsh setup. it’s just that zsh hasnt bothered me enough to try it yet.

also nushell, im interested in the idea of manipulating structured data instead of unstructured text

pingveno ,

Just take the dive into fish. It used to have a lot of problems with incompatibilities, but that’s been less of a problem lately.

I haven’t found nushell to be that great as a day-to-day shell simply because it integrates poorly with other Linux commands. But when it comes to data manipulation, it is simply amazing. I’m currently (slowly) working on a plugin to query LDAP. The ldapsearch command uses the LDIF format, which is hard to parse reliably. Producing nushell data structures that don’t need fragile parsing would be a boon.

There a few things I’ve wanted to try for a while, but haven’t gotten around to it.

AstroJS (I’ve tried it, but only half-arsed)… It’s cool, but the lack of native react support scares me…

Cosmic DE… Still waiting for the alpha.

Python. It’s a good language, I’ve spent some time learning it, I’m just failing to find a use case for it atm.

Textual (Python framework). It’s really cool, but OOP scares me.

pingveno ,

Lapce, an IDE written in Rust. It’s nice and light compared to most IDE’s, so I use it a bit on my aging laptop from 2015. However, it doesn’t have the extension ecosystem or polish of my favored IDE, VS Code.

Wayland on a 3070

I think a lot of the recent AI tools could be fun as toys to play around with, but I’m just very uncomfortable using tech that exploits everyone who doesn’t own a huge megacorp.

Also, emacs as a replacement for my graphical editor. It feels like there isn’t a “neovim” style modern version, and there’s a steep learning curve to configuring it.

Also, Wayland. Come on, Cinnamon. ;_;

dragonfly4933 ,

If you want something similar to vim or neovim, but without all the fuss learning how to configure it and install plugins and such, you could try helix.

livingcoder ,

Neovim. I tried to use it a year ago, but I felt like I was fighting it every time I just wanted to make progress on my project. VSCode doesn’t get in my way. I’m going to give it another shot in a few years.

Goun ,

Haven’t used neovim, but I had to try vim way too many times. I can’t use anything else now.

theshatterstone54 ,

Try kickstart.nvim. I was skeptical until I tried it. It’s a very good starting point for Neovim. Pretty much eberything else I’ve ever tried is either too bloated, too complicated, too outdated, too overwhelming, or a mix of the above. Link: github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim

It’s a wish, why would I settle?
