  • ####Bleibende Momente
    Klonen Sie die Stimme einer geliebten Person und lassen Sie sie Ihren Kindern Ihre Lieblingserinnerungen oder -geschichten vorlesen.

    ####Gibt es eine Software, mit der man die Stimme von jemandem nachahmen kann? Speechify AI Voice Cloning kann jede Stimme in Sekunden klonen. Alles, was die KI braucht, ist, dass sie sich die Stimme für etwa 30 Sekunden anhört. Sobald sie die Stimme einer Person gesampelt hat, kann sie mit der gesampelten Stimme lange Dokumente lesen, Podcasts erstellen und vieles mehr. Haben Sie einen geliebten Menschen, dessen Stimme Sie gerne mal hören würden - wandeln Sie einfach jeden Text in seine Stimme um. Erstellen Sie Audio-Podcasts oder Voice-Overs. Jetzt können Sie stundenlang mit Ihrer eigenen Stimme sprechen - ohne ein einziges Wort zu sprechen.

    Alternatively, https://www.resemble.ai/voice-cloning/ could do it, as they state:

    ####Can I clone anybody’s voice? While Resemble AI empowers users to create AI replicas of various voices, it’s essential to adhere to ethical guidelines and obtain proper consent before cloning someone’s voice. Respect for privacy and intellectual property rights is paramount in utilizing our technology. Please read our Ethics page for more details.

    However, Danish is only in their ‘Pro’ tier list, so you should perhaps try it with some English text first.







  • Anything GTK GUI related is not necessary anymore once you have installed KDE, as you then typically use e.g. Discover for software managing instead of the mint software center.
    I assume they stopped having a KDE version, as they then would have to completely rewrite their apps (those for the Mint look and feel) in Qt and supporting two such elementary different versions is to much for one team. Now, as they are delivering a Mate, Cinnamon and XFCE flavour, they can take advantage of them being all GTK2 or GTK3 based.


  • Right, installing a DE is usually not something a direct bloody beginner would/should do. But a beginner who installed Mint, e.g. because of recommendations, has already installed some programs and worked with their system for a while, but now is not confident with Cinnamon DE. For someone like them it’s feasible to ‘simply’ install a different DE e.g. KDE onto their system. (I’d also suggest uninstalling anything GTK related and reinstalling only those packages that one deems useful). As there are no essential differences between Kubuntu and Mint, I don’t see the problems here. KDE is in the same sources.list that Mint uses (in the official Ubuntu repos), so there shouldn’t be any strange dependency conflicts. Thus it’s not going to end up as a Frankenstein system.
    Personally, I use Debian btw. 😉, I’d also suggest installing the original, i.e. Debian or LMDE, if one likes the Mint stuff, and get rid of the Ubuntu dependencies. But I consider that basically as a matter of personal taste.


  • AfaIk, Linux Mint delivers it’s own version of apt, specifically some scripts interacting with apt, which does not default to Snap packages for e.g. Firefox, Kubuntu doesn’t (can’t). Basically, you could also install Kubuntu 24.04 and transform it to Mint 22 with KDE e.g. to have Mint-like behaviour of apt.
    Mint has the reputation of being a beginner friendly distribution, Debian doesn’t (not isn’t).
    If one uses Mint and does want to use another DE without reinstalling the OS, after all why not?


  • Do you mean: You currently have a separate partition mounted as /home and want to reuse this when installing a new distro?
    Yes, there is a way to avoid creating a new one:

    1. In the gui or tui installer, choose manual partitioning
    2. If they don’t exist yet, create the partitions you want to use.
    3. Specify their file system (ext4 or whatever you prefer), mount point or use, e.g. /, /home, swap.

    !!! Be careful !!!

    !!! For the /home partition make sure to uncheck recreate file system, format or alike. !!!
    This is the partition currently filled with your data!

    1. apply changes and procede installation.



  • For completing your nice explanation, here is the DeepL translation of the section in German Wikipedia on micro accelerometers:

    In recent years, miniaturised acceleration sensors have become increasingly important. These are micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and are usually made of silicon. These sensors are spring-mass systems in which the “springs” are silicon bars only a few μm wide and the mass is also made of silicon. Due to the deflection during acceleration, a change in electrical capacitance can be measured between the spring-mounted part and a fixed reference electrode. The entire measuring range corresponds to a capacitance change of approx. 1 pF. The electronics for analysing this small change in capacitance are housed on the same integrated circuit (IC).

    There are also variants in which piezoresistive resistors are attached to the bending beam by ion implantation, which change their resistance according to the bending and thus allow conclusions to be drawn about the acceleration.
