Not that far from having full-out state-owned enterprises the way things are going.

Why is this a Gnome extension? I would love to use this in KDE.
I use Ubuntu 24.04 and comes with GNOME Shell.

Can whisper do multilingual yet? Last time I tried it on some mixed dutch/english text it would spit out english translations for some of the dutch text. Strange bug/feature since from all appearances it had understood the dutch text perfectly fine.
Best for English, but I've found it pretty decent for Spanish.

Am I correct in understanding that Whisper is a speech recognition AI model originally created by OpenAI?

yes.

Fantastic! I am working on a speech-to-text GNOME extension that would immensely benefit from this.

Yes - 100%. That's why I have a Slack where I invite friends and other people hacking away. Planning on setting up more remote social stuff to beat the 'loneliness' factor. Happy to send you an invite if you want. We're friendly.
Could I jump on this train, kind stranger?

Same here. I love working on my own schedule, but definitely miss bouncing ideas and learning from others. Maybe we can make a discord and slowly grow it from there?

It's kind of my addiction. This is the latest project: https://www.proteinmath.app/
And this is a couple weekends ago: https://www.danesh.app/
Let's be friends! I've hacked couple websites with other people before and honestly the learning itself is worth the time even if the project doesn't take off.
Wrapper of a wrapper. Front end dev is a mess lol
