EasySpeak update.
In this video, see a hands-on walkthrough of voice commands in action on GNOME/Wayland -- including grid-based mouse movement, opening applications, browser navigation, speech dictation, and system controls.
I also highlight recent project milestones, the latest v0.12.0 release featuring the Parakeet speech model, and what’s coming next for desktop integration and alternative desktop environments.

Really fun, of course - but also another confirmation for me that Linux just isn't ready for the real world.
Even discounting the current AI debacle, all signs indicate that for any foreseeable future Linux will remain a niche plaything for people who care about the OS & the computer itself, not a serious or reliable workspace for people doing other things.

The second anniversary of this post is coming up, and surprise surprise these little "end of life" laptops are continuing to run well with #linux and do what we need them to, which includes spending less on tech so we can buy more actual books for the school library. #schooltech #endof10 #edtech #foss #reading #kidlit

For a long time we have made our selves gradually more and more dependent on Big Tech. This applies when it comes to operating system, to browsers, to various services, to storage and now when it comes to AI.
More and more are realizing this was and is wrong.
You can take the first steps to be independent as a person or company. Obviously, given that you are here, you have already taken some steps. Here are some suggestions:
1. Switch browser... to Vivaldi. :)
2. Switch desktop OS. Personally I have switched to Linux. Currently running Kubuntu, Ubuntu and Zorin on different computers.
3. Switch mail service. Proton and Fastmail are good services, but there are others. Choose one that allows use of a mail client.
4. Switch calendar service. Most mail services also offer a calendar service.
5. Switch office package. Personally I use LibreOffice.
6. Switch Web conferencing software. Personally I use Whereby.
7. Switch search. Startpage, Ecosia, Qwant and DDG are great alternatives.
There are a lot of other great choices. The point is to start taking those steps away from Big Tech and Silicon Valley.

I'm thinking of replacing an old laptop's Windows 10 system with a #BSD system instead of #Linux.
Most of the articles I see on the BSDs tend to downplay user interface. I'm very comfortable with the command line, but I want my GUI too.
Has anyone had any daily experience with this sort of setup? I am leaning towards #FreeBSD or #DragonflyBSD but I don't know about the available desktops.
Serious and important question to all #Linux users, in particular #Fedora users (in particular #Fedora44 if this makes any difference)
It looks like I will be needing to swap back to using an Nvidia graphics card (RTX 2060). Is it still a miserable experience with drivers? And if so, how do I make it not so miserable that I get PTSD?
