Does anyone know how to get in contact with Isobel Yeoung?
If you do please let her know about Mastodon. She is a journalist for Vice News.

I am trying to find a good screen reader and text to speech feature on GNU/Linux :gnu: :linux: just like the on that is built into MacOS :mac: .

I want to be able to highlight text on any application (e.g. word processor or website) and then click a short cut key to hear it read out to me.

I appreciate your suggestions.

Siri ‘regularly’ records sex encounters, sends ‘countless’ private moments to Apple contractors — RT World News https://www.rt.com/news/465181-apple-siri-human-contractors/

It has come to my attention that there are those on Mastodon who think that anyone who doesn't agree with their politics should be cast out of the federation.

Please stand up for Freedom of Speech.

True Freedom of Speech means you will have to deal with the fact that not everyone thinks the same way as you and will therefor come across views that either make you happy or extremly angry.

Communication is the key to making the world a better place and the only way that progress can be made.

If you lock people out becase they don't agree with you, you are only hurting those you claim to care about because those with extreme views will continue to speak, with the only difference being that no one will challenge them.

Arrogance is the biggest threat to our society.

I challenge you to get 5 people on Mastodon by the end of 31st of July 2019.

Hey #Google! Fuck you!

Spying, Complicity, Censorship and Political Interference are not only wrong, I won't accept it any more!

I am not allowing my self to be used by you!

Here are 5 alternatives to google (search)

1. searx
2. duckduckgo
3. startpage
4. qwant
5. yandex

The above are just some alternatives I know of. As they also have high levels of censorship we as a society should push for better privacy respecting and protecting, censorship free, decentralized and Free/Libre alternatives to Google Search and other things relating to google here.

If it is public money, it should be public code as well. I support this call for more public code under a Free Software licence: https://publiccode.eu/
