Ducks of a feather fund privacy together. 🦆💜🧅 Thanks @DuckDuckGo for supporting Tor and the fight for privacy.

Today we're introducing Fluid Speech Mini - the Best Open-Source speech model for on-device Dictation Fluid Speech Mini surpasses Whisper Large, and Parakeet in Accuracy in noisy environments, While being ~10x smaller than Whisper Large, and ~5x smaller than Parakeet. So you can run it for on-device accurate dictation on your MacBook, or even iPhone 11. More info on Fluid Speech Mini below!

Absolutely disgraceful @carlsberg @CarlsbergUK - you should hold your heads in shame!

Does anybody have both a work and personal claude subscription and has identified an effective way on Mac and iOS to switch between them? @claudeai @AnthropicAI

Apple fixed local dictation. Nevermind, we did. We solved local, accurate and fast dictation iOS and looking to add ~10 more slots for testflight! Try out the recent macOS beta below if you still didn't! Comment below on how you feel about it and i'll DM each of you in a few hours 😉

I'm going to be real with y'all for a minute, iOS dictation apps only make sense if they're not annoying to use. Clunky. Typos. Slow. Bad keyboard. I'm a solo developer trying hard to make iOS dictation actually fun to use. Since my Mac dictation app got a lot of love on X, I'm sending out a testflight for iOS. Local. Private. Fast. If you're on the search for a good dictation app, comment below for access!

This has been the fastest dictation on iOS. Everything happens on device, no internet needed. I started testing today.

Seriously, how can an open source iOS app built by one person be so much better than a paid solution built by a $2b company?! @FluidVoiceApp you've smashed it - this is incredible on iOS!! 🙌

Tool calling from ChatGPT voice is impressive, but the plus plan still lacks a way to create private apps connecting to local MCPs through tunnels. Tool calls are fine if you accept sharing all data with Google; however, some of us prioritize privacy more. @ChatGPT @OpenAI

Any plans to update your absolutely shocking MCAS app to join the 21st century @Bromcom??

Privacy > surveillance.

This is a really nice update - love how polished Bear's updates are. They're not rushing to ship features which aren't thoroughly well thought out and polished. Kudos to you @BearNotesApp

A couple earn £50k each, and their combined take-home pay is £6,320 per month. They have 2 kids and receive full child benefit of £2,211.60 per year. Their neighbours also have a £100,000 household income, but all of it comes from a single salary. Since more of this income is taxed at a higher rate, their take-home pay is over £800 less per month (£5,513). Even though they too have 2 kids, they receive £0 child benefit because their single salary exceeds the £80k threshold THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN 🇬🇧
