@polyna @_nb @devinprater I've implemented this spec!

Really highlights a weird dichotomy in the speech-synthesis space: You can either have natural sounding voices or expressive voices. I'd love for someone to figure out how to achieve both simultaneously!

@devinprater oh wow, I kinda assumed screen reader were more powerful than what they seem to be. I played a fair bit with voiceover when ai was an iOS developer and I knew about the macintalk emph thing, I thought screen reader automatically switched tone when reading, for example “something between quote marks”.

Got a bit done on my slides for my upcoming LibrePlanet talk done tonight: I figured out how turn HTML into a PDF slideshow! Need to tweak styles a bit more, and then I'll be ready to hand them in & work being able to render them myself...

Capitalism fucks with your head!
"You deserve the car you want"
"Buying this scam saves you $x a year!"
Let's not forget the colors and scents they use to trick you in to wanting shit you don't need, and didn't want a minute ago!

Capitalism has convinced you that if you don't buy shit for your loved ones every holiday, you might as well spit in their faces.
Yeah, getting something I want is nice, but I'm not going to love my friends less if he got me nothing. Besides, what to do with things I don't have a use or space for? I'd rather have my friends' presence.

Ecco minded? Capitalism convinced you getting rid of plastic straws is the solution while you just kinda ignore the pollution the corps are dumping in to the environment.

They convince you nobody will work if there is no profit motive. The only people who spout that shit are people who wouldn't help others, and the gullible apes they aren't helping.
Besides, do you really think piles of garbage, lack of food, and no entertainment wouldn't motivate most non-disabled people to chip in and get it done?

Capitalism has convinced you that $199 is a good sale compared to $219. Better buy now! If you wait to think if you really want that thing, the sale will end!
They also have you convinced $199 is appreciably less than $200. They really milk that 9 thing, you gullible ape.

Don't believe me? Take an ad of something you want. Edit it to add that penny. Now look at it again in a few days. Gullible ass ape!

Capitalism has convinced you RSS is antiquated. The real reason it's fading is because it doesn't have ads and tracking. You going to tell me the news article is truly better on a browser with ads than on a little program you can open any time, on or offline?

Use your PC mostly for e-mail, documents, and social media? Maybe hanging on to digital photos? Maybe even editing them! Same shit you've done on your PC for decades, really. But... you need a new one? Is your old one broken? No. Capitalism just made your old one "unsupported" now! Explain to me why your spreadsheet needs more computing power all of a sudden.

I was downright careless with my old Nokia, and it never failed. I kept it a long time too.
Capitalism has convinced you you need a new, thin, expensive, fragile smartphone every 2 to 4 years. You didn't break your old one, miraculously. So why is it a slow piece of shit now? Did you change what you do on your phone all that much in 2 to 4 years? Aren't you still just messaging and scrolling social media?
