Did you check if your mic even works in principle? E.g. using https://www.onlinemictest.com/

If you don't get sound there it won't work anywhere. A surprising number of problems like these can be solved by selecting the correct audio input source (provided your computer shows more than one).

Yep. Mic works fine. My mic even works on the test page! What doesn't work is any of the transcription functionality. :(

Doesn’t seem to work in Safari on iOS 26.2, iPhone 17 Pro, just about anything extra disabled.

No long with Firefox or Edge or Chrome on either macOS or Android for me, either. Same issue on all.

I had to turn off ad-block to get it to work.

I can see the waveform but it still doesn't work for me. Switched to Edge, disabled all adblocking and privacy extensions, built-in tracking prevention, and "enhanced site security" (whatever that is), and still no dice. I'd love to try it and be impressed, but it seems impossible. :(

IMO it's long time coming. Streaming logs and other supporting functionality is not free. We at Cirrus Runners provide runners as a service for a fixed monthly price with unlimited usage. We target large entrerprises that save $100K+ yearly by switching to us (10-25 times). In our calculations the new per-minute fee is roughly ~0.1% of the effective per-minute cost our customers avoid by using our fixed-price model. Over providers with the traditional per-minute pricing will have bigger impact.

> Streaming logs and other supporting functionality

GitHub's log streaming also sucks. It's very laggy and chunked, whereas GitLab's is pretty much real-time.

2+2 is a mathematical concept. Definitions do not need to be agreed upon beyond fundamental axioms.

The same is not true for "open source", which is a purely linguistic construct.

What the symbol "2" refers to is a matter of convention, just like with any ordinary word.

yeahhhhhhh, that's not how this works.

Unless this authority has some ownership over the term and can prevent its misuse (e.g. with lawsuits or similar), it is not actually the authority of the term, and people will continue to use it how they see fit.

Indeed, I am not part of a movement (nor would I want to be) which focuses more on what words are used rather than what actions are taken.

There's no authority that will punish you for misusing legal terms of art, or engineering terms of art— in everyday speech like this discussion— either. The vibe this gives is frankly "I just learned trademark exists and I think I'm very smart now".

Where are you getting this compendium of commonly-accepted definitions?

Looking up open-source in the dictionary does include definitions that would allow for commercial restrictions, depending on how you define "free" (a matter that is most certainly up for debate).

"Open-source" isn't a term that emerged organically from conversations between people. It is a term that was very deliberately coined for a specific purpose, defined into existence by an authority. It's a term of art, and its exact definition is available here: https://opensource.org/osd

The term "open-source" exists for the purposes of a particular movement. If you are "for" the misuse and abuse of the term, you not only aren't part of that movement, but you are ignorant about it and fail to understand it— which means you frankly have no place speaking about the meanings of its terminology.

Free software to me means GPL and associates, so if that is what Stallman was trying to be a stickler for - it worked.

Open source has a well understood meaning, including licenses like MIT and Apache - but not including MIT but only if you make less than $500million dollars, MIT unless you were born on a wednesday, etc.

MIT and Apache are free software licenses in Stallman's sense, and the FSF has always been clear about it.
