What is incredible about this product is that I can speak normally and fluently as I normally do.

The need to look at the output as you speak is only necessary if you expect there to be errors. FUTO, amazingly, performs extremely well in this regard and I have a high confidence in not being able to trip it up. I don't feel that I need to look down at a live transcription.

This whole comment was written using FUTO voice input. I'm definitely going to donate to them.

GrapheneOS is the open source android OS on pixel hardware without any google binary blobs.

The advantage of using it is Google develops and optimizes the OS so it works on their hardware. The GrapheneOS project compiles the source code, hardens some parts, and boom

~~I'll try to remember next time I book (I don't travel so often) but realistically I will not respond to this thread ever again 😅~~

Edit: Doh, I'm dumb. I can play around with booking when I'm NOT planning to travel and clear cookies and use VPN and it won't affect my decision to buy 🤦‍♂️

I take you are a satisfied user. Ages ago when I looked into it, I didn't see the need. To save time for me and other people on this thread, what value does it bring to you? I would consider subscribing just to financially support them but what other tangible use does a subscription bring?

[–] varsock 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

absolutely. Especially with how dynamically the tickets are priced there is no way to tell.

warning: tangent rant: I really like to shop around and maximize my time off, playing with arrival/departures. It seems if I play around with this for more than an hour, the prices jump up like $50-$100. I've started taking screenshots of fares when I start and end and yes, the prices increase. :(

Hey, you go it!

FYI, you can financially support Rebble and get perks like being able to reply with voice to messages. I don't personally do so but I know people who have had success with it.

For comparison, my Pebble with everything turned off (like health tracking, apps, steps, alarms etc) and only BT on for notifications, I get about a week still

I don't have an opinion in this debate. I just started playing with Go and planning on doing so with Rust.

I wanted to point to the fact that Go is also in flux and is also seeing changes to its semantics, and this is relavent in the current events with Go 1.21 being released less than a month ago.

https://go.dev/blog/go1.21

In a future version of Go we’re planning to address one of the most common gotchas of Go programming: loop variable capture. Go 1.21 comes with a preview of this feature that you can enable in your code using an environment variable. See the LoopvarExperiment wiki page for more details.
