Biological programming goes a long way.

It goes hand in paw with being instinctively scared of things that can potentially kill you and other species evolution with patterns and markings that make them less likely to become a succulent meal, Chinese or not.

Some preemptive advice if you're in the market of integrating TTS for some customer or service:

Do not ever use any "humanisation" tweaks. Having a computer voice stumble on a word or fucking cough is uncanny valley and how to make people feel manipulated in one simple trick.

Just don't. Everybody hates it.

Another twenty plus years Linux server and devices admin and user that found last year that Linux is finally mature and stable enough to replace my desktop too without having the fiddle with it every once in a random update. It was a decision that I can accept making workarounds for legacy windows software and l can live without other eco system. Yeah, there are plenty of reasons that people are still running Windows and keep doing so.

Don't make being user of an operating system your identity, people. It's just as annoying and unnecessary as those Apple fanboys we all know and dislike.

I have an Asustor that is running Debian. It's just a PC in a NAS enclosure so why should it not.

No "lifespan" people around?

These clicky baity titles are so fucking stupid. The bleeding edge of data storage is priced at a premium? How surprising.
