For PC's the whisper can be now run on many common laptops and desktops ( with almost good accuracy ) , thanks to projects like whisper.cpp and faster-whisper.
There also happens a lot of model's getting released by meta like wav2vec2 and MMS ( not seen using anywhere though )
I guess there are many python packages for aforementioned projects too.

Glad that there are govt. level systems who make use of Linux (mostly ubuntu ) systems here. For eg. , in kerala, all govt schools and colleges use linux for computer labs and academic activities, i guess the local body administration too use ubuntu.
Only wish we could convince those private sector schools of the money they'll save converting those slow windows systems to linux.

We are introducing a change in JDK/JRE packages of our distro. This is triggered from the way a JRE is build in modern versions of Java (>9). We are introducing this change in Java 21. To sum it up instead of having JDK and JRE packages coexist in the same system we will be making them conflict. The JDK variant package includes the runtime environment to execute Java applications so if one needs compilation and runtime of Java they need only the JDK package in the future. If, on the other hand, they need just runtime of Java then JRE (or jre-headless) will work. This will (potentially) require a manual user action during upgrade: - If you have both JDK and JRE installed you can manually install the JDK with ```pacman -Syu jdk-openjdk``` and this removes the JRE related packages. - If you have both JRE and JRE-headless you will need to choose one of them and install it manually since they would conflict each other now. - If you only have one of the JDK/JRE/JRE-headless pacman should resolve dependencies normally and no action is needed. At the moment this is only valid for the upcoming JDK 21 release.

[ From proton reddit announcement ] We're happy to announce that the search feature for Proton Calendar is now available in the latest version of the web app! Now you can easily find the events you're looking for – whether you need to confirm an event’s location, get more details from its description, see participants, and more. If you haven’t already, try it out here: [https://calendar.proton.me](https://calendar.proton.me/) Search is made possible by creating a local index of your events and storing it on your device. When you search for an event, the app goes through the index of your downloaded events and highlights all matches. That way, no event content is made visible to Proton for the purpose of a search. Read more about Calendar search in our knowledge base: [https://proton.me/support/calendar-search](https://proton.me/support/calendar-search) As always, thank you for your continuous support, The Proton team

What it does is that when you encounter an issue with your extensions, it disables half of them, and asks you whether that fixed your issue or not. If it did, it repeats the process, disabling only half of that half, and asks you again - and so on and so forth until you home in on one troublesome extension.

Since that post was'nt available for me atm, just reposting relevant Github blog : 1-Click RCE on GNOME
The TL;DR
libcue is a library used for parsing cue sheets—a metadata format for describing the layout of the tracks on a CD. it’s used by tracker-miners: an application that’s included with GNOME.The index is automatically updated when you add or modify a file in certain subdirectories of your home directory, in particular including ~/Downloads. To make a long story short, that means that inadvertently clicking a malicious link is all it takes for an attacker to exploit CVE-2023-43641 and get code execution on your computer.

Since the discovery of antimatter decades ago, particle physicists have wondered if these particles were repulsed by gravity. Einstein predicted that despite having opposite charges to its regular matter counterparts, antimatter should still behave like matter does concerning gravity. This has been tricky to confirm experimentally since it's hard to make enough antimatter to observe its behavior. Particle physicists have finally pulled it off, using the ALPHA-g experiment at CERN, generating antihydrogen atoms and then dropping them in a 3-meter tall vertical shaft.
