- creata 3y agoWhat work do you want them to do that they're not already doing?

The web is in a hilarious state where it's harder to style an option in a drop down than it is to generate speech from some text

- sonicanatidae 3y agoI mean, you're right, but so are they, just in the wrong place. :)
- sowbug 3y agoThat's the problem with this kind of logical fallacy. It distracts from the discussion, often by introducing a well-settled issue that's hard to disagree with. A company can do two things at once, and it should be possible to discuss one without discussing both. This is especially true when the alternative topic is (paraphrased) that Firefox could be a better browser. Do we really want to steal from a rare chance to talk about Common Voice and overwhelm it with a thread with everyone's pet peeve about their web browser?

- OfSanguineFire 3y agoMycroft users really wished that Mozilla had kept up efforts in this direction, because otherwise the only option for reliable speech-to-text is uploading every command you give your agent to Google or Baidu. The browser is important, and I don’t support Mozilla’s vacuous projects for social-justice cred, but there are a handful of areas where we need some non-profit to provide a privacy-respecting solution.
- rwmj 3y agoThat is indeed important, so I take it back (can't edit original post now).
