@thelinuxEXP I really like Speech Note! It's a fantastic tool for quick and local voice transcription in multiple languages, created by @mkiol

It's incredibly handy for capturing thoughts on the go, conducting interviews, or making voice memos without worrying about language barriers. The app uses strictly locally running LLMs, and its ease of use makes it a standout choice for anyone needing offline transcription services.

I primarily use #WhisperAI for transcription and Piper for voice, but many other models are available as well.

It is available as flatpak and github.com/mkiol/dsnote

Note also the various GNU-like #MobileLinux variants -- see @linmob and things like @phosh #pureos #mobian #postmarketos

It would be great if Signal could become more friendly to those and not assume that everyone must use Andriod or iOS. Andriod or iOS are things of the past, we need to move away from those towards alternatives that put the user's freedom and privacy front and center.

Continued thread

This ties in with a lot of @bert_hubert's recent articles about Europe needing to become more independent from the US wrt technology.

Also @Mer__edith after the talk I mentioned #SailfishOS to you. Which is, IMHO, the only viable alternative to iOS and Android at the moment.

I've been using it as a daily driver since 2013. It's made by ex-Nokia employees after Microsoft destroyed it.

So, an #introduction

Hmm. Half a decade old nerd from the best country there is, 🇫🇮 . I used to make computers go beep for a living, but then I veered into #construction. I'm interested in almost everything. I read #scifi and try to play #bass . I like #gardening and #bumblebees

Internet used to be great. In 1997 my world expanded when I first installed Red Hat Linux 4.2, and I've been using #linux ever since. Currently more than a decade with #ArchLinux , and #sailfishos runs on my phone.

Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (25/2025): Packed with Goodies
https://linmob.net/weekly-update-25-2025/

This week really was something: #postmarketOS ship 25.06 (which, among other things, adds systemd) and work to reverse-engineer #VoLTE, #FuriOS 13.1.0 lands with Open-Store support (for #UbuntuTouch apps) and plenty of other improvements, #PlasmaMobile share detailed log of all the fixes and improvements they managed to land in the past year (and what's to come), Jolla announce free #SailfishOS updates for all #JollaC2 customers, I managed to interview #Liberux about their Nexx phone - but there's way more still, including a packed Apps section. Enjoy!

LINux on MOBileWeekly GNU-like Mobile Linux Update (26/2025): Cell BroadcastingFairphone (6th gen) launches with same-day Linux support patches, Phosh forms an organisation, a Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Sailfish Community News and more!

So my journey to de big tech my life has taken the next step, I have ordered a Fairphone 5 with Murena /e/OS. My iPhone has died after I de Appled all my services by moving to a combination of Synology NAS and Proton services.

I will keep sharing the experience, my experiment with SailfishOS on a C2 has been unworkable as a daily driver but keeping it alongside my main phone for now.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the EU should reserve some serious money, fork Mozilla and make regulations that governmental websites need to work on their fork (and Big Tech gatekeeper websites as well).

This is one of the items to stay independent from Google's, Apple's and the US's whims.

(The other item is a mobile OS like @jolla's #SailfishOS.)
