automatically read aloud

Oof. I’ve got some mates with word choices that would raise some questions from the toddler.

This actually got a good laugh out of me. I have a toddler, and I can see what you did totally made sense in your mind, and that it was dad’s fault for not being specific enough with the instructions.

On mine it’s only available from the Izzy repo, not the main fdroid one.

Edit: Here’s the source code. Try with either Izzy or Obtainium to install.

Egyptians didn’t have cranes

But they did have storks, which are almost as good.

Hahahah. I don’t know how my sleep-deprived brain got to “I am Bob”.

Yeah, audio isn’t my preferred medium, but since I now commute by car instead of public transport, it’s the only viable means of book consumption for me. It’s unfortunate because a bad narrator can turn me off of an otherwise good book.

Sanderson’s Skyward series have different narrators on Spotify and Audible. One of them I could not stand for more than 5 minutes. The other, Sophie Aldred, is a real pleasure to listen to.

Huh, interesting. I am Bob is literally next on my audiobook playlist.

Sigh. As a fan of Sanderson, Abercrombie, and Gibson, I am now compelled to check out your other recommendations. As if I haven’t already had an overly long queue of things to read…

It looks like they lifted the ban in the USA too? If you’re still keen, do give them a ring.

FYI, in Australia they scrapped the rule a couple years ago and you would’ve been able to donate now (at least blood, not sure about organs).

Wherever you are, maybe check again if they’ve relaxed the rule.

some kind of hobby (especially one with a social component)

Okay, I just joined a guild in WoW and started doing 40-man raids. What’s the next step?

25MB… Is that a lot?

Depends, I guess. For a Godot app? Probably about average.

For a quick and dirty native app? This timer app I use is 160kB. Less than 1% in size.

Coming off of this discussion, what you have there might be an extreme version of diazeugma, one with an implicit subject.

Either way, I learnt something new today - zeugma. So thank you :)

Edit: I just realised… please, no juvenile jokes about “sugma” in this thread, thank you.

It’s not.

Some of it may be, but the fact that the LTS versions (20.04 & 22.04) are downloaded overwhelmingly more than the others seem to indicate it’s more intentional.

Nothing much. What’s up with you?

Commonwealth maybe?

Edit: wiki references seem to indicate it’s predominantly ANZ

she’ll be right… @lemmy.nz

Checks out.

It’s literally the only result if you search for “organic”

The og Opera was so good and innovative. Would’ve paid for it (when it was still ad-supported), were I not a poor student at the time.

When they became yet another chromium skin with no soul, I moved fully to FF. Now Vivaldi is my second browser alongside FF.
