#speech — Public Fediverse posts

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐶🗣️ The voice people use with #pets mirrors baby talk, with raised sing-song tones signaling warmth and attention.

But pet talk drops the teaching component, since it mostly aims at connection rather than #language #learning. #Research shows #babies get clearer #speech and even hyper-articulated vowels, #parrots get slight language coaching, and #dogs and #horses mainly respond to the affectionate tone, which strengthens social bonding.

Fun fact, stop Google voice typing from censoring your swearing, you have to go into Corrections and Suggestions, not the voice options, and disable "Don't Suggest Offensive Words."

... Well, fuck!

On one occasion, the Blessed One was dwelling at Savatthi in Jeta’s Grove, Anathapiṇḍika’s Park. Then when the night had advanced, a number of “fault-finding” devatās of stunning beauty, illuminating the entire Jeta’s Grove, approached the Blessed One and stood in the air.

Speech comprehension is thought to depend on #auditory and #motor interactions via brain rhythms. This study links theta frequencies in the STG and motor rhythms to stronger #speech tracking, the latter among those with high auditory-motor synchronization.

#5thCircuit blocks #Texas law requiring websites to filter "harmful" #speech

Texas cannot enforce a law's requirement that websites block minors from seeing harmful speech, the US #CourtofAppeals for the 5th Circuit ruled on Friday.

#BigTech lobby groups challenged the Texas "law’s requirement that certain social media-based 'digital service providers' (DSPs) monitor and filter content accessible to known minors to prevent exposure to several categories of potentially harmful speech," judges wrote. In a 2-1 ruling in favor of the tech groups' challenge, judges said the monitoring and filtering requirement is preempted by Section 230 of the federal Communications Decency Act of 1996.

A quotation from The Bible

When a sieve is shaken, the refuse appears;
   so does a person’s waste when he speaks.
The kiln tests the potter’s vessels,
   and the test of a person is in his conversation.
Its fruit discloses the cultivation of a tree;
   so does speech the thoughts of the human mind.
Do not praise anyone before he speaks,
   for this is the way people are tested.
   
[Ἐν σείσματι κοσκίνου διαμένει κοπρία,
   οὕτως σκύβαλα ἀνθρώπου ἐν λογισμῷ αὐτοῦ.
σκεύη κεραμέως δοκιμάζει κάμινος,
   καὶ πειρασμὸς ἀνθρώπου ἐν διαλογισμῷ αὐτοῦ.
γεώργιον ξύλου ἐκφαίνει ὁ καρπὸς αὐτοῦ,
   οὕτως λόγος ἐνθυμήματος καρδίας ἀνθρώπου.
πρὸ λογισμοῦ μὴ ἐπαινέσῃς ἄνδρα·
   οὗτος γὰρ πειρασμὸς ἀνθρώπων]

The Bible (The Old Testament) (14th - 2nd C BC) Judeo-Christian sacred scripture [Tanakh, Hebrew Bible], incl. the Apocrypha (Deuterocanonicals)
Book 22b. Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 27: 4ff (Sir 27:4–7) [tr. NRSV (2021 ed.)]

I have a persuasive speech for college I'm working on. I'm doing my speech on why you should switch to the fediverse, and one of the requirements is to have a quote from someone with the same opinions as you. I thought I'd ask y'all for quotes. If you wouldn't mind to answer at least one of the questions below that would be amazing! Feel free to answer with any relevant thing even if it isn't an answer to one of the questions. Please boost and share.

What makes the fediverse worth it to you? How has the fediverse made your life better?

I'm using Text-To-Speech (TTS) on my Desktop (Calender Events, Firefox Read Aloud) and with Home Assistant. However the quality isn't the best and I wanted a better option.

I've started a new project for this called crane-wyoming which is in alpha/beta stage as it is not feature complete but works well for TTS.

I totally agree that residential school denialism should be treated in the same manner that holocaust denialism is. Criminalizing it as a form of hate speech would be a big step towards reconciliation.

Nowadays, censorship doesn't exist just as "blocking information". Censorship takes the form of "attacking the narrative and its sovereignty itself", such as through threatening people for their speech and opinions, defamation, and character attacks.
