A demo of a #spiel sample app, the voices used in order are: eSpeakNG's "Andy" variant, MBROLA US2, and Piper's Amy. You can observe the different features like word tracking and quality. #speech #tts #gnome #linux

In my quest to build the perfect #cargobike I learned something kinda depressing. All these hot shit bikes with center drives don't have a standard bottom bracket, but instead a gaping hole the shape of whatever proprietary drive system they were built around. This means that when the motor makers ultimately go out of business these $5k frames are left unsupported and are worthless aluminum scrap. #biketooter #cycling

Hi I need #cargobike encouragement. I'm looking to buy an original #yuba spicy curry. Problem is the Currie middrive motor is not supported anymore. Does anyone have experience converting that model to a third party middrive motor like bafang?
