@icedquinn cool, I like Zelazny :)How does chatterbox perform? Last time I messed around with text to speech (it has been more than a year, maybe more than that) I was less than impressed.And lately I am beginning to find AI reads more and more annoying, all the wrong emphasis in sentences...You have this up somewhere?

@icedquinn I wonder if it would be worth it to come up with a markdown dialect to have tts feel closer to normal human speech patterns, in regards to emphasis?how were the different voices triggered for the different characters? Was that part of your hand-editing?

@icedquinn Again, kudos - I have a hard enough time just wrangling ffmpeg to slice up audio books into chapters :)

@icedquinn I trade off, including using a full-sized trackball, at times. I find it does help wrist/tendon fatigue...ymmv

@icedquinn I tried a cheap version of the thumb mouse - Not worth it, not sure if a more expensive version would be worth it, either...

@klaatu I think it is being proven that the left is nowhere near as smart as they think they are...

@nanook @klaatu I guess I see your point - If they are a death cult, it would make sense that the death cult also has no sense of self-preservation.It is all theft on a grand scale, I just still find it breath-taking when a group is brazen enough to broadcast the theft in advance...
