Like it or not there are legacy industry specific hardware adapters out there for ISA. That's why it was quite late to be removed from motherboards.

For the Irish language course the recordings of native speakers were taken offline in 2023. The AI replacements are nonsensical.
This story is about AI generated courses, not voices, but my post was still (accidentally) on-topic: when they previously used AI to increase volume of content, they were ok with quality being thrown out the window.
The AI generated courses might be low quality, and the original (English) courses might also go downhill because the type of exercises they produce may now be restricted to the type of things that their AI is able to reorganise for other languages. E.g. it might go further in the direction of vocabulary memorisation.

Isn't it that they call it "español" in Latin America, and "castellano" in Spain?

Unfortunately, the voices are really bad.
It's a pity they don't also make available the old courses, with audio from native speakers.

Journal Journal: It is 2025 and Slashdot doesn't support IPv6?
I've been migrating all my stuff to IPv6 because I'm retarded and felt like (another) winter project.
So I have a Debian VM that is IPv6-only for testing things out, general browsing, etc. and see that Slashdot doesn't support IPv6? One would think a tech site would have been onboard with this years ago.
