@volpi Also to you volpeon I generally like LanguageTool / WritingTool as an Aid (even without AI) It does explain stuff to you a lot of time and not only marks errors

You may need to weed out some unneccessary things in some style guides depending on context. Like stuff being "too casual" though I guess I could just deactivate that rule

> In addition to a spelling, grammar and style checker based on LanguageTool, it provides statistical methods for optimizing texts as well as AI support (in development).

okay.... lets hope it does not go to shit, it does seem to improve on the LO-extension of LanguageTool.

> Support for (local) AI:

atleast its going to be local?

> Supplement to the grammar check
Generation, improvement, rewriting, expansion and translation of paragraphs
Creating illustrations for a paragraph

> supporting OpenAI like API (Local applications such as https://localai.io are particularly supported)

It does include impress and calc as well which might be helpful.

*Looks at website: *Impressum* *squints* wait that is made by german.... *clicks* sure is

Maybe this one is also interesting for @volpi See the website: https://writingtool.org

TIL. LanguageTool isn't really working with libreoffice anymore. But there is WritingTool based on LanguageTool that works with LibreOffice. The world of forks is sure interesting...

@fristi Hi Fristi Enjoying monday off?

@mametsuko good morning mame. Tofu doing terror again?

I did notice that when I stayed at my brothers house over the weekend lol. Cats do notice when you wake up and they meow at you to feed them. No chance of just staying in bed

But still enjoy your early morning mame

The UK now has the world's first ETCS-enabled steam locomotive, because we're a very silly country.

@Chalkllate It is interesting. I have like 2 accounts. One is my "personal" and the other is a more "branded" account for my blog. I dunno if generally a lot of people see my posts or not. I am on my own mini-island instance after all.

For my blog account thats certainly a thing. But the thing is. I don't use that one that much. So obviously not a lot of people follow it or interact there. It also does not follow many people. Obviously it isn't discovered.

My private account is way more used I follow many (for my standards) different people and so my timeline is very lively. I don't get like that much interaction when I post something myself. But mostly screaming into the void is fine there.

I do like to leave replies though (like this one) hoping for some nice discussion.

Follow people around and they will fill your timeline with cool stuff eventually

@volpi hey I mean its short sentences that are easy to understand atleast

@mametsuko sometimes that happens to trains My train was okay atleast, even though I had to take some busses since there is some construction going on on the rails

@mametsuko Hoi Mame. How is stuff going for you

@rivalmit @Akulatraxas How I felt when I tried painting a Mini-Figure the first time (Not even super mini but still)

Happy Easter!

well, a dragon is a little big to handling a chicken egg. maybe something a lot bigger would fit better :D

dragon is @Akulatraxas

@volpi The most Introvert-Trait ever to exist: Loving to tell about stuff you like in (unasked?) detail. Gotta love it.

I do get the "wanting to write well part" that can be kinda hard. I would atleast like to think that writing my (Light Novel focused) Blog maybe helped me with that a bit. Though I guess my reviews of stuff have a certain structure nowadays...

Like I am not writing the well versed stuff and my sentences can be a bit weird sometimes (like missing words or just the sentence structure being out of whack)

So I had a friend which helped me with that part ( and I would in turn tell him waaaay to often to split overly long sentences). Nowadays he sadly is doing a lot of stuff for work and college so he doesn't have the time for that.

So nowadays I only can really rely on my common sense, reading the text out loud and use stuff like LanguageTool which tends to help well in my cases, since I tend to miss punctuation and words a lot. (Or just misspell stuff)

I do really hope you can find something that works out for you. I think the post written with passion are the best. I do tend to struggle to write on stuff which is just "there" in terms of a book. Not offense but not super great. But I could likely talk your ear off about books I really live and die for.

PS: This thread is really interesting read. Again Volpeon Bonus Content delievering nice discussions

@volpi wow that sounds so sad

Should be encouraging people not turning them down.

I was never really a good with writing like stories or something. But I do like putting thoughts "on paper". Helps sorting them as well as helps venting a bit and I get to write about stuff I like. I do like doing blogging I guess. Even time is kinda tight like always. So I don't do as much writing recently.

But starting again recently. There is stuff I wanna tell tell the world about. Like my Cosplay-Project or that new racing Wheel I bought. Cool shit.

I guess you are more into writing stories?

@fristi They don't know any other way. How is fristi doing?

@puniko you naming new *key-forks again?
