TTS with coqui xTTS is fun to run with a known voice (10sec wav file is enought). It requires some resources but far less than STT like faster-whisper. I think the main issue is not running them but integrate them with the OS/softwares.

It sounds like an intro to a new science fiction scenario but it is real.

Many of us have this kind of feeling. That's why there are: Small web, inidie web, Gemini... Without being extremist with noJS websites (even if it's not a bad idea), let's create content outside platforms. I hope a day blogs will come back and RSS reader became back a trend. So we'll take back control of a (small) part of the Internet.

Maybe it'll reveal that many websites doesn't want to give interesting news to its audience but only want them to watch ads to have more money.

I have the same feeling than panos. I'm concerned by the Meta thing. But I'm more and more worry about Fediverse when I see people what instance admin should block or not. What is good or bad for the Fediverse. Maybe an idea to fight against big tech to take control over the fediverse could be to hard limit number of people on each instance. Let's say 5000 for example. It could promote smallest instances rather than the biggest. Because maybe the issue behind this huge instances in fediverse.

If we look at the positive aspect of this: it means Meta looks at Fediverse as a competitor and tries to do something around it. Unfortunately things could only be ugly. Meta running an instance won't appear I think because it could be blocked. But taking control of big instances thanks its money might happened. And maybe has already happened and we don't know it. Meta or another big tech company.

Peertube take care of bandwidth issue by adding a peer to peer streaming. I don't know if big instances are having real bandwidth issue. I think Peertube or Owncast issue is more about the money / viewers locking of Youtube / Twitch.

A bit paradoxal but it looks that all central platform (twitter, reddit, facebook...) are helping the spread of Fediverse. Recently we saw the impact with Twitter on Mastodon, myself I've discovered Lemmy even if I wasn't a reddit user. And before that Facebook first spread friendica and diaspora. It looks next step will be around Youtube where Google try to lock more and more its user.
