experimenting with writing a mastodon-based comments section for my blog today (just whatever Mastodon replies there are on the post)

Linux desktop voice control has a gap. Talon costs money. Other tools are X11-only or cloud-dependent.

So I built EasySpeak.

Late afternoon walk.
Switzerland being unabashedly Switzerland.

Me: I was given the Leslie Nielsen Award at school.

For absolutely no reason at all I would like to point out that @stavvers's 2023 piece on giving advice on the Internet without being an utter menace is still very relevant, and a great read:
https://anotherangrywoman.com/2023/01/18/how-to-give-advice-on-the-internet-without-being-an-utter-menace/

I strongly encourage anyone who is not familiar with it to read it, and anyone who is might consider reading it again (I just did, for good measure).

Might make sense to keep it in bookmarks for easy access in case one is unsure in a particular situation, too.
