Something to ponder when it comes to Lippy the Lion and Peter Potamus being in close company

It's well-known that both have the same Joe E. Brown-inspired goloss ... but imagine the two being in close company (say, on a diving expedition led by Peter) and they're in conversation with each other, but don't want to be mistaken for the other.

Common Voice by Mozilla

La veu és natural, la veu és humana. És per això que volem crear tecnologies de veu de qualitat per a les màquines. Però el desenvolupament d'aquests sistemes requereix un gran volum de dades de veu. La majoria de les dades usades per grans companyies no estan disponibles per a tothom. Considerem que això frena la innovació. Per això, hem iniciat el projecte Common Voice, per tal de fer que la tecnologia de reconeixement de la veu estigui oberta a tothom.

Voleu ajudar a que les màquines entenguin i parlin català/valencià? Segueix aquest enllaç, registra’t-hi i grava’t llegint unes quantes frases en veu alta.

I comparteix-ho amb els teus amics! Per que ens entengui bé, necessiten parlants de diferents edats i dialectes.

A Common Voice

There’s a form of tyranny snaking its way through our nation, and it isn’t one that’s visible on the surface.  There’s no dictator enforcing this tyranny against us with an iron fist, for it is we ourselves who are behind it.  It is the tyranny of thought.  It is the belief by some that they have to get others to agree with their beliefs by any means possible, even if this means excluding people who think differently from the political process, or from receiving many of the benefits our government is pledged by law, written and implied, to provide.  It is a form of tyranny that excludes people who have different thoughts or beliefs from social and political circles, and vilifies them with words and actions.  It causes isolation and division that works as a cancer that is weakening our nation. It is a tyranny inflicted on us by the masses, both rich and poor, educated and uneducated, conservative and liberal.  It’s pushed by people who believe strongly in their beliefs, which is fine, but it isn’t fine to call those who think differently stupid or evil.  It is pushed by educated people who think the voices of anyone who doesn’t understand or agree with the conclusions of reason and/or science are irrelevant and should be ignored.  It is pushed by religious zealots who think the same of anyone who doesn’t share their religious background.  It’s pushed by people who watch one or another news station or read partisan news online, and think anyone who reads different news is an idiot.  It is pushed by anyone who thinks that their way is the only right way, and all others are irrelevant.  I’m not saying we shouldn’t hold strong to our beliefs.  This is human and necessary.  I’m only saying that to try to inflict these beliefs on others who don’t think the same as we do or come from the same background is intellectual tyranny, especially when it is accompanied by the power of wealth and/or political clout.  It is far better that we learn to listen to those who are different and share different beliefs.  We don’t have to agree with them, but we should learn to work with them towards a form of consensus when it comes to action.  The government needs to do this when passing laws, but we as citizens need to do this in our discussions and interactions with one another.  It is the only way to preserve democracy.  It is the only way we can find a common voice, rather than a rabble of conflicting views that push divisions and destruction. I believe we can work together to find this common voice.  We must start by learning to listen to others, especially those we don’t agree with.
