  1. CW: AU -- Cute bird story

    Nature can be really cool at times. Take the two myna birds which have been commuting on Sydney’s North Shore line. Regularly.

    One woman alerted a guard to two birds trapped on the train.

    "To her surprise, the guard responded that they “always” caught the train, jumping on and off between Lindfield and Artarmon – supposedly to scrounge for food."

    While their carbon footprint was already insignificant, the mynas should be applauded for setting an example and making good use of public transport.

    The headline on that article says "Canonical's New AI Tool Wants You to Talk to Ubuntu Instead of Type"

    I can just picture someone in a small office: "Hey, Alison, remind me of the command to format the drive on this computer I'm installing please".

    "sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1"

    *seconds later* ...

    Everyone in the office: "Wait no stop, Myna don't listen ... oh no."

  3. Speech to text integrated in desktop is very much a welcome inclusion in my book. 😎 project already looks promising.

  4. I was hoping the Ubuntu STT project would be relevant to projects outside of Ubuntu, but it apparently is being vibe-coded and depends on Snap. 🙃

  5. In today's thrilling episode of "Fonts #Nobody #Asked #For," we have Myna: a monospace #typeface for those who think symbols are cooler than actual programming. 🤦‍♂️ Because clearly, what developers really need is more font choices to procrastinate with. 🖋️

  8. The Common (Indian) #myna is slowly replacing native #birds in #Bellingen. "The cane toad of the sky" was first introduced to Australia between 1863 and 1872, in Victoria, to control insects in the market gardens. Now it is "The Most Important #Pest/Problem" in Australia.
