And phone calls nowadays very often introduce lag, especially if using an app like Signal or Messenger or Telegram. This renders interjections by the listener dysfunctional.
You misunderstood me. We are on the same page. However this tangent intrigues me.
I am old enough to remember the JJJ transition to national youth station. I never met Frollows but his ambient show on Sunday nights was my favorite. Definitely not youth music. Did it get axed too at that time?
I used Notebook LM to create a ten minute podcast but it took a lot of repeated attempts with tweaks of the prompt to make sure there was no stupid mispronouncing. Even the final product required editing out two words which were not even human (just glitches).
Not understanding pronunciation of words is to be expected, especially when they are acronyms but sometimes it was really dumb grammar.
The pound hit its highest level against the dollar since NovemberOctober.
The Guardian are so hopeless with science that they cannot read a simple graph. I generally like their reporting but they really need a science sub-editor already.
Second one is a problem for most people. They just click on a link and expect it to work. They would have to figure out themselves what the workaround is because SimpleX says something like "bad invite" or "bad link".
And even if I told them what to do, they don't even know it is possible to copy, paste, edit, hit return.
I have about 30 activists using Signal whom I would like to migrate to SimpleX. I didn't want to handhold each of them. I think you are overestimating general computer literacy out there.
Similarly I would like to migrate over 600 of them from Facebook into our own group in Lemmy however they are older people and a third of them have enough problems signing up to and navigating Facebook.
Adding to my frustration is their English illiteracy. "more than half of Americans between the ages of 16 and 74 (54%) read below the equivalent of a sixth- grade level."
Just pay a professional sign writer or beautiful artist to paint sometime classy denouncing Elon (instead of a sticker which will peel off and damage the car).
SimpleX is not easy to setup either. There are two flaws I pointed out on GitHub over a year ago which have been ignored:
FLAW #1
Scanning a QR code invite with your camera app does not work. It has to be scanned AFTER you install SimpleX using the camera function of SimpleX.
FLAW #2
Clicking on an invite received in Messenger confuses Signal because Messenger appends a question mark and some tracking code rubbish. SimpleX could easily strip the rubbish but it doesn't. It simply fails.
