A Linux user replacing the pre-installed OS and installing a new theme. Tale as old as time.

Like some lazy plagiarizing kid… I've got no beef against AI tools and love the idea of automating away the tedious parts of just about anything, but there's got to be a better solution to this problem. Especially with Microsoft's resources.
All good! Sorry for the paragraph. I'm just bad a writing short messages… 😅
Oh, so he ended up doing it?
Edit: Darn it, that's right. /r/AMA went private. Is the thread archived somewhere?
I'd say that a fairly debated topic related to transgender people, which isn't just transphobes attacking people trying to live their own life, is the presence of transgender athletes in competitions. Some will take it as a personal attack whether you take a side or sit on the fence. I'm not looking to start that conversation here, but yeah. It's definitely possible to hold a polite conversation about this while disagreeing on parts of the question. In a healthy space.
Hmm~ I guess I feel sad a little, yeah. Reddit was a pretty cool place. Still is if you hang in the right communities. But I do most of my browsing using a mobile app as of late and if they're killing off RIF and Apollo, I might as well look elsewhere. I also feel a little optimistic about this "migration" slowly taking place, since this time it's not out of some knee-jerk reaction to admins banning some problematic subreddits, spawning places like Voat.
And the federated, open-source nature of Lemmy/Kbin/Mastodon reminds me of how a group of friends can create their own Discord server.
At least in the "fediverse" it's possible to maintain a much cleaner separation between those communities. Like, the server I'm on has this very explicit programming focus (Can't believe this domain name is a thing 😂) and I'm sure there's a server out there for horny peeps who just want to look at porn. Both can have drastically different rules in regards to posting, commenting and such and if a server's admin pulls the plug for one reason or another, the rest of the "network" stays up. 🤷♀️
Would just be nice if there was a way to backup, sync or migrate accounts between federated servers. I expect things will fluctuate quite a bit as many of us take refuge in various servers. Especially if reddit moderation bots get crippled, third party apps die and old.reddit gets the boot, flooding lemmy/kbin servers with more users than some can handle, financially-speaking.
You can make use of the operating system's own text-to-speech systems, either as an accessibility feature or to create old-school voiced games. https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/audio/text_to_speech.html It apparently should work out of the box on Windows and MacOS, but not all Linux distros will have the proper packages pre-installed.
