Samsung phones have an option of scheduled autorestart; I have mine set to restart once every week at a scheduled time.

New Class of Antibiotics Proves Potent Against Multi-Drug Resistant Bacteria (scitechdaily.com)

This study describes the identification of an antibiotic class acting via LpxH, involved in lipopolysaccharide synthesis having potent in vivo efficacy against bloodstream infections caused by the critical Gram-negative pathogens E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Further development of this class of antibiotics could make an...

Why isn't everyone talking about AI generated audiobooks?

I just listened to this AI generated audiobook and if it didn’t say it was AI, I’d have thought it was human-made. It has different voices, dramatization, sound effects… The last I’d heard about this tech was a post saying Stephen Fry’s voice was stolen and replicated by AI. But since then, nothing, even though it’s...

I want TTS made better with AI so that I won’t need huge audiobooks filling up my phone. The epubs that I already have would serve as audiobooks when needed.

Bobo ,

I have frequently used tts for listening to epubs. I have, however, not noticed much battery drain… And it’s not as enjoyable as listening to an audiobook read by a narrator you like but it kind of works to a certain extent. So I wish you tts would get better.

What’s so special about bluesky that people are migrating there?

Bobo ,

I guess different people have different use cases. I am enjoying Mastodon and have had positive interactions with people. I have also found a lot of good quality content there. Additionally, I totally avoid political stuff so haven’t had any issues of political stuff messing up my feed. IMO the invite only thing is just increasing attractiveness by creating artificial scarcity.

Bobo ,

Oh yes, this reason makes sense.

Bobo ,

Really, variety of options and potential interlinkage with other kinds of Fediverse projects is what really excites me about the Fediverse.

Bobo ,

One of the things I really like about Mastodon is that I can curate my feed to show only what I am interested in by following hashtags and/or people and muting those people whose posts I don’t want to see. There’s no hidden algorithm controlling my feed, pushing controversial posts towards me and other stuff. So I don’t get why would you need the invite only feature of bluesky control your feed?

Bobo ,

OK understood why you prefer bluesky.

Bobo ,

This boy definitely looks fashionable, must say.

I followed the link and got the message that “you are a tester”, but when I am going to play store I am only seeing “register” option and no download option. How to download this app? Never mind, I checked back after a couple of hours and could download it

Bobo ,

OK now I am uncontrollably laughing!

Bobo ,

On my a52s I have tried with Mozilla without issue. Maybe try different browsers?

Bobo ,

Then better to try the app. That may work.

Bobo ,

He just looks so cute in that cap ❤️

Bobo ,

Whippet in specs is even cuter!

Bobo ,

The cat looks like they can’t believe that you could do something like that (whatever that may be)!

Bobo ,

No, but the King/Queen of bleptember!

Fediverse apps

Hey guys, with all of your help I would like to get a running list of apps for Fediverse platforms. In such a short time we’ve had so many apps develop and they’ve provided some incredible experiences. For those that have been on Fedi for some time, newer and those that will come, these client apps will play major roles in...

Bobo ,

For lemmy (on android) I use eternity, voyager, liftoff, connect. For Mastodon, for android I use moshidon and on windows pc I use elk.

Bobo OP ,

Seriously I had such a good laugh reading this before going to sleep. I couldn’t get over the image of the person opening their bedroom door to be greeted by their cat with a knife in it’s mouth! Some hold up, right!

Bobo ,

Very pretty drawing. Also the cat looks so cute and cuddly.

Just read Children of Time - top notch sci-fi

Just finished Adrian Tchaikovsky’s Children of Time. One of my top reads, let alone sci-fi reads, for the past couple of years for sure. Super well-thought out concepts, good character development, and an irresistible hook that will take you out of your comfort zone when you find out that you really don’t know who you are...

Bobo ,

I, too, read that series recently and loved it. However, I think the third book wasn’t as great as the first two, but still good. How does children of time compare with this series? Final Architecture is the only work by the author that I have read.

Bobo ,

I enjoyed shards of earth series especially because I found the characters very engaging and relatable. How does it compare with his other books?

Bobo ,

Definitely second Hyperion.

Bobo ,

Will check out Children of Time then.

Bobo ,

Aww such an adorable Void. Also he seems to have very interesting green eyes (am I seeing right?).

Bobo ,

OK so he has very piercing yellow eyes! Interesting, nevertheless.
