A Torino Comics ho avuto il super piacere di chiacchierare con @davidrevoy, un artista francese che ha trovato la giusta forma tra disegno con software libero e pubblicazione tramite webcomic in un modello sostenibile del quale detiene il pieno controllo. Inoltre invita la comunità a realizzare opere derivate dai suoi personaggi.

              Most AI translation tools rely on cloud services.

              Audio leaves your device, gets processed elsewhere, and comes back translated.

              As open speech recognition, translation, and TTS models improve, it feels increasingly possible to build communication tools that run on infrastructure you control.

              That's one of the ideas behind PolyTalk.

                                              PSA regarding a change in how Secure Boot will work in Fedora soon. The change isn't urgent, but it is something you should take a look at.

                                              If you have any questions about this, please ask in our forum. 🙏
