5·6 months agoI’ve used https://github.com/Softcatala/whisper-ctranslate2 before for transcribing English and translating non English audio into srt files and its been pretty good for TV shows for me. Its not perfect but it usually gets me about 95% of the way there
12·6 months agoMaybe not exactly what you’re looking for but I found this a few weeks ago https://github.com/k2-fsa/sherpa-onnx and I haven’t really seen anyone talk about it
I’ve been using the tts on android for navigation and its way better than rhvoice and espeak.
I did try stt on android and it worked great but I’ve never used stt before so I don’t know how good it is compared to other stt
Thank you for putting this together, this is great!
- Browsers
Mull is my go to browser, based on Firefox with proprietary blobs removed and since its Firefox uBlock Origin can be installed
Mulch is chromium based for when websites ~ break ~ with Mull. Both are by the same Dev that makes DivestOS
- Utilities
I’m not really sure what is meant by utilities but these are some apps that I utilise pretty much every day
URLCheck for easily removing tracking from URLs either manually or automatically
Bitwarden is my go to password manager, you can add their repo to your fdroid client to get auto updates
Aegis for 2FA with easy backup and restore to and from files and supports importing files from so many other 2FA clients
Insular utilises the work profile to separate out apps. Some people in my life still use WhatsApp so I have a whole profile just for it, I can’t wait for the DMA to fully kick in so I can get rid of WhatsApp
Librera opens all of my documents for me and I can choose between scroller mode for PDF type stuff or reader mode for ebooks. It also has amoled black which I love.
QbitController to easily manage all of my qbittorrent instances. It also automatically opens magnet links I tap on so I can add them to one of my instances easily
RHVoice TTS that integrates with OSMand, I find I have better voice results with this compared to espeak
Syncthing Fork to auto sync folders on my phone, PC and NAS
Termux terminal emulator I use for SSH, it also runs Zotify and YT-DLP
KDE Connect for controlling my cursor on my PC, quickly sharing files to and from my PC and for seamlessly sharing clipboards between them
- Forgotten Apps
Showly OSS Integrates with trakt(.)tv to keep track of shows and also has a discover tab for TV and movies
Unexpected Keyboard I missed the keyboard discussion so I’m going to mention it here. It supports function keys! So I can use htop in SSH to kill processes on my PC when I break something and my screen freezes

It is compiled from source and proprietary blobs are removed using scripts by Relan from here.

The issue with this is the difference between GB (1,000,000,000 bytes) and GiB (1,073,741,824 bytes) https://massive.io/file-transfer/gb-vs-gib-whats-the-difference/
HDD manufacturers use GB, which is a metric measurement, because its better for marketing while computers use GiB, which is a binary measurement. So people think they’re buying 15GiB but in reality they’re buying 13.5GiB marketed as 15GB
Pretty sure Reddit can’t ban people for promoting/linking to competitors sites as there is EU regulations in place to prevent this.
This issue was raised when Twitter tried to stop people from linking to their Mastodon accounts. Twitter put the policy in place and then quietly removed it soon after.
If you really believe that you were banned for promoting Lemmy then you should mention this in your appeal but as others have mentioned it seems like the issue was spam.
And sure maybe they were waiting for any reason they could get to ban you because you were promoting Lemmy and they got you on spam, always gotta read the contract/TOS to make sure the other party doesn’t get you on a technicality

They can be linked to other online accounts. This allows for phishing, potentially scamming or getting additonal information on them which can lead to more sophisticated/personalised scams. Older, less tech savvy users are better targets for scammers.
Data aggregators can sell this info to Health Insurance Companies or any other system who can then discriminate based on genes sex age or location
Can contribute to people committing fraud with their information if they collect enough information from different sources.
Having enough information about a user to use it to target their now known relatives in personalised scams.
The people that did this probably didn’t know what information they were going to get, maybe they were hoping for payment info, and settled for trying to just sell what they got.
Any information, no matter how useless it might seem, is better than no information and enough useless information in the wrong hands can be very valuable.
Theres countless data breaches every year and people will collect it all and link different accounts from different breaches until they have enough information. Most people use the same email address for every website and a lot of people reuse the same passwords, which is how this data leak occurred. Knowing that these users reuse the same email/password combination here means theres a very good chance they’ve reused it elsewhere.
You can check out what data breeches have occured and if your email or password has been posted in any of these dumps here https://haveibeenpwned.com/
Once the information is out there, its out there for good and what might seem trivial now to you could be valuable tomorrow to someone else
