basedrum··on Generate audiobooks from E-books with Kokoro-82M
I want to be able to seemlessly read on my ebook reader and then put in my headphones and go for a walk with the dog and resume on audio where I left off. then when I come back, my ereader is at the right place where the audio finished and I can resume reading

basedrum··on The next time Wikipedia asks for a donation, ignore it (2022)
Weird site, weird argument. Legit propaganda vibes with just enough truth to make you think what about... they are right to feel legitimate. But arguing that Wikipedia editors are the proletariat who are getting screwed by the people who work to run the site? AI could have written a better argument

basedrum··on Ask HN: Would you recommend a framework laptop?
I have the exact opposite experience of this person. My 12th gen framework had been great. I've replaced the keyboard after spilling water on it, the hinges, and they even replaced my power adapter because the right angle USB was flaky. Repairs have been a breeze... I had ThinkPads for over 20 years, probably 7 of them. Their era is over, sorry but the last good ThinkPad was the 220. Fwiw, I tried to buy a ThinkPad before my framework, their site said it was available in two weeks. Three months later, after no reply, my order was canceled due to some US law that automatically triggers if you cannot deliver in a reasonable time frame. Got the framework in three days. Wish I got the AMD one, but whatever I can upgrade later.

Was this post written by AI, because it has far too many words that say nothing and I have to skim over to get to the point
basedrum··on The Tor Project merges with Tails, a Linux-based portable OS focused on privacy
Centralization bad because Tor kicked out an abuser, so therefore subverted by the NSA, makes a lot of sense.
basedrum··on Is Tor still safe to use?
I run an exit node, and I know several people who do, I dont suspect any of them to be anything but people who care about privacy, surveillance, and helping people get access to the free internet from restrictive locations. I admit, I bristled at your comment, because I do not like myself, the EFF, and many of my close friends being imagined as part of the US Government.
basedrum··on Is Tor still safe to use?
Yeah, but the problem is that they cannot say that with 100% confidence, because the details were not shared with them (why, I have no idea)
basedrum··on Is Tor still safe to use?
You are right. The lack of details or time window when this happened make it difficult to know what the actual compromise was, or if it is still something that can be used. However, if they compromised a Ricochet user, then this attack was a long time ago, and from what Tor's blog says that client didn't have the defenses that would have prevented the attack they think it is. Without the actual details, it seems like this attack was mitigated some time ago and is no longer something that can be done in the same way.
basedrum··on Is Tor still safe to use?
it was used by Snowden to leak documents...
basedrum··on Is Tor still safe to use?
Tor does have padding defenses to protect against that.

Also, according to their latest blog post on their finances, while it is true they have money from the US Government, that was only ~50% of their income (I think that was 2023). For the FUD part of that comment, see the "U.S. Government Support" section of https://blog.torproject.org/transparency-openness-and-our-20...

basedrum··on Ask HN: Do companies hire principal and staff level engineers from job postings?
People keep mentioning roles, such as Staff, Staff+, Principle as if they are standardized. Can someone point to a reference where these are defined in a standard way?

basedrum··on LTS kernels are no longer supported for 6 years because no one used them
He is a troll, picking fights about things he doesn't understand. This is not the first
basedrum··on LTS kernels are no longer supported for 6 years because no one used them
Don't distro kernels use LTS? Debian stable never changes it's kernel through its life cycle, and there is also a LTS of Debian
basedrum··on Apple finally put USB-C in new iPhone, but limited to 23-year-old USB 2.0 speeds
Yeah, I keep reading people saying who transfers files by USB these days, nobody needs that speed! Meanwhile, I'm quietly doing that here right now in the corner thinking I'm a weirdo because all these HN people say so. Thanks for the reality check, bubble popped
