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.

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

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

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.

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?

Enjoying my evening tea now. Day’s been going well so far

Then better to try the app. That may work.

Day’s been going pretty OK.

On my a52s I have tried with Mozilla without issue. Maybe try different browsers?

Whippet in specs is even cuter!

I don’t really collect physical objects as such. Until a few years ago I used to collect/buy books, but for a long time I ran out of space. There are probably 600-700 books in my bookcase and another 2 small trunks filled with books. Then there are further two cabinets filled with my study books. Now that I have run out of space, I am collecting epubs and pdfs on my laptop and phone.

He just looks so cute in that cap ❤️

Thanks
