  • 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.

  • I hardly remember my dreams and when I do (which is usually if it has been interesting) I generally wake at some crucial point which is very annoying.

  • Great example! Just read the book recently and loved it. The whole tavern conversation between the two brothers was very philosophically dense and insightful.

  • Thank you for this nuanced and unbiased write up. I have been actively avoiding this topic online and this helped me to get an idea about the background of the war going on now.

  • Got fed up with youtube algorithm shenanigans among other things and am just sticking to newpipe.

  • 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.

  • Nice shot of the flying whippet

  • Hey that sounds really cool. I'll check that out.

  • OK understood why you prefer bluesky.

  • 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?

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

  • Lol that's an interesting idea!

  • Oh yes, this reason makes sense.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • This boy definitely looks fashionable, must say.

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