KDE "dropping" X11 for Wayland on Plasma 6 discussion and the alternatives in that case

I’ve started to ranting on nvidia so i’ve scratched the part where i was talking about that :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

There is a reason we call it NoVidea.

Oi mate, we don’t need to add regional accent discrimination to the list of problems Linux is having.

Personally I found that video quite informative and it explains a lot of the issues with Wayland implementation (but I also work a lot with Brits and Aussies so I have no issues understanding their accents).

I didn’t, but only because I couldn’t understand a single word that guy uttered. I would have to amplify it to the max and slow it down by 50%, but if I did that, the other guy’s voice would have killed me.

Mind you, English is my second language, I learnt it as mostly an adult. I sometimes have trouble understanding native speakers, but a guy with a thick foreign accent, who mumbles and has lisp… Sorry, but that’s completely inaccessible to me.

Like I said, I’m sure they’ve made some great points, but they are beyond my reach.

Brodie has an Australian accent, and David has a British regional accent (can’t tell you exactly which one).

Edit: maybe David’s blog might be more informative since his English English accent is unclear - https://blog.davidedmundson.co.uk/

If I wanted someone to treat me like a brainless slave and dictate me how to use my hardware and my software I would buy an Apple product in the first place.

You know there are captions on YouTube?

I haven’t used YouTube to watch a video in over 5 years, so the thought has not occurred to me. :rofl:

I could download the captions, I guess. And mute the video, of course. But that’s so boring.

Do it lol
Edit English is a confusing language even for us that speak it nativlty

It’s so good, you say, that it’s worth doing? Okay, I’ll do it tonight. :rofl:

I am the last person I would listen to for advise on anything lol

Liar! :rofl:

My guess is that the AI that generates captions decided that their voices are just too unpleasant and gave up.

All depends on the clip and I would not use these as the end translation - I’ve seen several clips with subs enabled but they were not saying what was being said even when it was on the video in text at the same time

Not sure, since those are auto generated. But why not just watch the video and hit the cc button in the upper right corner?

What do you mean, watch the video? You mean on youtube[dot]commercial website using the embedded video advertisement player? Woah! That would feel like 2010s all over again! :rofl:

I’m afraid my browser is just too hardened for that, and does not work with that legacy JavaScript technology…

I mean, I could install ungoolaged chromium just to watch that video, but is it worth it? inb4 doit lol

These are the subtitles I would be careful with

I do not think.

Check which subtitles are available
