I think you mean it was released in September 2023?

Seems a little redundant when the article we’re all commenting on does precisely that.

He said he was a doctor, but i don’t know what kind of doctor smokes over a corpse.

Also addressed in the video! Neither I nor the video creator has any stake in what you choose to do, and I’d prefer not to rehash the whole video for you since it’s right there for you to watch if you’re interested in this topic, but the main points were generally about reducing subscription costs and gaining better control of content (e.g. no surprise removals of music, videos, and ebooks).

Persist with the video! The text-to-speech is only for a couple of quick screens - the rest is very personal, and they cover a bunch of use cases.

If you really don’t want to, the server OS they recommend around two-thirds of the way through is YunoHost, a beginner-friendly way to run services as containers on any capable spare computer. The YunoHost website has a bunch of use cases that are also covered in the video.

Psst… O, not O’ - it’s the vocative particle, not a contraction of of or on.

Yeah, but it’s OpEx, so it’s just imaginary expenditure.

Literally never heard of it. Are you talking about Microsoft 365 Copilot, formerly known as Microsoft 365, formerly known as Office 365?

Use whatever software you want, more power to you, but I’m not totally convinced that “chaired by a fascist transphobic multibillionaire oligarch who actively subverts democracy at every opportunity” and “introduced a feature I don’t want to use into my free secure messaging app” are even close to equivocal?

OnlyOffice is Russian-owned, via a holding company in Singapore. When Russia invaded Ukraine and sanctions threatened the business, they obfuscated this, but it’s still Lev Bannov’s product.

The importance you attach to this is up to you, but they try quite hard to hide it.

There’s an optional “tabbed interface” in View > User Interface that’s a lot like the Office ribbon. Like the Office ribbon, it has context-sensitive additional tabs, and you can enable a compact version that shows less but takes up less vertical space.

I’ve not had a need for LibreOffice for a while, but it certainly looks a lot less cluttered than the default old-school toolbars.

The dialogue system isn’t identical, but we’ll absolutely be including those features as dialogue options. We recently cast the last few open roles, including major characters, so although VA is a bigger job than in any published TES game, we’re well on our way.

So much dialogue and random NPC banter will have to be cut out if they want to voice act every single NPC like they to plan to do.

Egrets from Skywind here. We’re really not cutting anything in that regard (or really in any respect). For lines that are very repetitive, we might reduce the number of NPCs that deliver those lines to avoid auditory fatigue and immersion issues, and some lines are being tweaked to avoid feeling too encyclopedic in their delivery, but our ultimate solution is just a ton of voice actors (hundreds, literally) and a lot of work to implement them all.

That will work for now - although in my experience the performance of newer OSs on older hardware is not great. Soon, however, new releases of macOS won’t support Intel processors. Tahoe, later this year, will supposedly be the last.

A gold hat on a volleyball could replace the royalty at a fraction of the cost.

You don’t think it might be an F7A?

I’ve seen people dismiss this as purely praise for Slater (about whom I know nothing), but it’s very hard not to read these statements from the tweet:

Great pick by @realDonaldTrump.

He likes that Gail Slater was given a prominent role. Fair enough – the ping of Trump’s account seems pandering, but it’s not exactly a million-dollar donation to his inauguration.

10 years ago, Republicans were the party of big business and Dems stood for the little guys, but today the tables have completely turned.

Implies Republicans look to promote small businesses against tech monopolies. Demonstrably not the case.

People forget that the current antitrust actions against Big Tech were started under the first Trump admin.

Suggests the Trump Admin are the bastions against Silicon Valley giants. Completely laughable.

I can’t think of a single company worse at naming products and services than Microsoft. They have an abysmal track record. Some examples off the top of my head, all of which make web searches near-impossible:

• They renamed Office 365 to just “365” (and then “365 Copilot”). The mind boggles.
• They named their lightweight extensible code editor “Visual Studio Code”, despite the fact that they had a long-established IDE (for code) called “Visual Studio”.
• They called their application framework “the .NET framework”, despite .net already being a popular TLD.
• They called the replacement framework “.NET Core”, and after a few major versions, changed to calling it “.NET”, but it’s totally distinct from the .NET framework.
• They called their ninth major desktop operating system “Windows 7”, then followed up with “Windows 8” and… “Windows 10”.
• Their native web app replacement for Outlook is called “New Outlook”.
• They recently renamed their Remote Desktop app “Windows App”. I have no words.

They didn’t make a turn into a crossing. It turned onto the tracks.

Just to be clear for others, it did so at a crossing. That’s still obviously not what it should have done and it’s no defence of the self-driving feature, but I read your comment as suggesting it had found its way onto train tracks by some other route.

This is the dumbest comment I’ve read all day but I’ve been chuckling about it for a good couple of minutes.
