just in case, another opensource project using same name https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Dia/ https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/dia

I know it's a bit ridiculous to see that as some kind of conspiracy, but I have seen a very long list of AI-related projects that got the same name as a famous open-source project, as if they wanted to hijack the popularity of those projects, and Dia is yet another example. It was relatively famous a few years ago and you cannot have forgotten it if you used Linux for more than a few weeks. It's almost done on purpos…

The generous interpretation is that the AI hype people just didn’t know about those other projects, i.e. that they are neither open source developers, nor users.

Fun, I can't get to it because I can't get past the "Making sure you're not a bot!" page. It's just stuck at "calculating...". I understand the desire to slow down AI bots, but . If all the gnome apps are now behind this, they just completely shut down a small-time contributor. I love to play with Gnome apps and help out with things here and there, but I'm not going to fight with this damn thing to do so.

Wow first time I have felt that this could be the end of voice acting/audio book narration etc. The speed with with the ways things are changing how soon before you can make any book any novel into a complete audio video / movie or tv show.
