Actually, Ctrl+C is the ASCII Code for the control character ETX (End of Text) since the early 60s. This is not a hotkey but a control character. To change this system, you’d have to change not only dozends of terminal emulators and the kernels of all unixoid operating systems, but at least ANSI, Unicode and Posix, too. And Windows, by the way - even Microsoft uses ctrl+c in both cmd.exe and powershell to kill the running process.

They are EU founding members.

Actually, glue used to be made from sinew and bones or simply with flour and water, and used to be perfectly eatable. Modern glue, though – well, Ok. You’ve got a point there.

This meme is debunked.

The original TWM is definetely an experience nobody should miss. Like lighting a fire or washing your clothes manually.

You do not use TWM, do you?

I’d propose to introduce a pedestrian’s licence, too. Can’t have these people just run around without any proper training!

Lojban to the rescue!

Now I get it! Thanks.

So “fuck yeah” is a positive comment, while “yeah fuck” is negative?

There is the gutenprint project supplying drivers for a lot of older printer models.

Happy birthday!

Well – this might be more succesful in boostering the IT skills of France’s next generation than any curriculum reform.

My browser eats timestamps, til. And yes, that is impressive.

Thanks, I’ll listen into it.

This is far worse than being not a reliable source of info. Ms Chen had all the info she needed, and Claude falsified it.

Hm. I wasn’t able to listen to all 9:53:57, but in the samples I watched I heard a voice resembling the classical computer voice of Science Fiction movies of the 70s. Better than most YouTube AI generated audio content, but good enough to narrate audio books? Well, we’ll accustom to anything, I guess.

To rephrase my question: where can I listen to an example of good AI spoken content?

Reading is not an alternative to listening. Both have different use cases. You cannot read while driving, to name just one.

Using different voices to read different parts of a book turns an audiobook into a bad audio play, and arguably, a bad audio play is worse than a mediocre audio book.

What audible misses is, that, while reading is a technique that can be automated, narrating is an art. They can use AI to read books, they cannot use AI to narrate books.

Your example of AI use is a good example of this: AI can read your content. AI can enhance your capabilities. But only you can narrate it.
