"And when you let someone else dictate what appears on your screen, it’s the same as giving them the key to your brain."

This one is worth listening and relistening.

OK this piece by @reckless.bsky.social about why AI is unpopular among most people (anyone who's not inflicted with "software brain") is just solid gold from start to finish

That Kotlin library to interact with XDG Desktop Portals is the same speedofsound.io integrates under the hood!

Thank you @ubuntupit.bsky.social for the review!

New Speed of Sound v0.13 release is out! Added support for a system tray icon that works across distros, LLM providers get a Disable Thinking toggle to cut latency, a test connection button, plus the usual little improvements. You can download the app from Flathub and Snapcraft: www.speedofsound.io

Another write-up this week on Speed of Sound letsdatascience.com/news/speed-o...

Now we're talking.

Thank you @d0od.bsky.social for featuring Speed of Sound on @omgubuntu.co.uk ! Fun read and good motivation to get the new release out sooner than later. www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2026/04/spee...

New Speed of Sound release is out! You can now use NVIDIA Parakeet and Canary models for on-device transcription, alongside Whisper. More models = better accuracy across languages + more offline/private options. Flathub/Snapcraft links & install instructions on www.speedofsound.io/getting-star...

NEVER FORGET.

Instant pre-order. Love the form factor, and the hackability even more.

@technologyreview.com is the new @wired.com.

Good move about the camera, bad move about the speaker www.zugaldia.com/notes/smart-...

Love this. It's a win-win, we listeners get no ads and the publisher gets a stickier subscription. If you're looking for another high quality podcast with a similar no ads option check out @latenightlinux.bsky.social .

@8none1.org I just heard your comment about voice being the future of typing in a recent LNL episode. And I agree 100%. That's why I built github.com/zugaldia/spe..., which I've been using daily for most of my typing for months now. Feedback/contributions always welcome.

My experience using the Meta Ray-Ban glasses for the last six months or so, where I make the case that audio, not vision, is the current killer feature for smart glasses: www.zugaldia.com/notes/smart-...

I'm ready to throw some money at whoever is printing t-shirts with that ultrathink design.

I'll be introducing our new Feedback Agent later today @ 12.30 PST, ping/DM me here if you have any questions!

> and says it has a $5B+ revenue run-rate (Anthropic) And about half of that is me paying for Claude Code.

I designed the biggest binoculars in the world (that you can buy) and they're for looking at outer space 🔭 🌌. Early access is a big step for our nano-scale mom-and-pop business to bring this model to life! www.analogsky.co/bloom

My favorite use case is creating custom map styles, which I'm pretty bad at. “Create a Halloween-themed map. Make it look spooky and fun.”

Great advice for LLMs in particular and life in general (context: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4488...).

DevFestDC is back! In collaboration with @developers.google.com, this year we're running a one-day event themed around generative AI and emerging technologies. More information about tickets and how to apply to speak on www.devfestdc.org

This is very interesting. I particularly like the proposal under the hood for a lightweight mobile MCP implementation that is Android native.

I’m still in disbelief that *two-thirds* of the DC Council voted today to fully fund ranked-choice voting in the District beginning in June 2026! What an amazing day for local democracy! And a huge shoutout to every single DC resident who worked toward this moment.

Turn on the sound — this is how nearly every night sounds for me and my family. Imagine getting used to that, living, working, raising kids. A lesson the world didn’t learn from WW2: when you tolerate and appease evil, it grows stronger, and you won’t notice until it reaches your home.

Oh this is gonna be fun. Ordered.

Love seeing this. There is a lot that can be done to improve the GNOME experience using the latest generative AI. Plenty of good local models to keep everything on device, and also cloud options when the use case requires it.

TIL claude.md redirects to the Claude Code docs. Nice one @anthropic.com.

TIL YouTube thumbnail designer is a *full-time* job.

I now have Copilot reviewing Claude Code PRs. What a time to be alive.

Looks like Anthropic/Claude is giving up on TTS and relying on @elevenlabs.io for their recently announced voice mode. Interestingly, no mention of STT though. Source: app.vanta.com/anthropic/tr...

I am so impressed by the excitement for robotics all over the world! We are 1 month away of the global hackathon and already +1000 participants plan to team up at +80 locations 🤯 Be part of this special event by filling the form through this link: forms.gle/fYQteWn2R2D...

I don't know why I didn't try this before, from screenshot to calendar event in 5 seconds.

Amazing. Microsoft has managed to write an entire blog post about supporting a Google standard without mentioning Google a single time. www.microsoft.com/en-us/micros...
