Com a crise política a decorrer, é fácil não prestar atenção ao que entretanto a classe política vai fazendo. Assim, vale a pena destacar este alerta da #zero :
Ideias veiculadas nas últimas semanas para forçar a componente rodoviária na Terceira Travessia e construção de novo túnel rodoviário Algés-Trafaria são inaceitáveis
Na sequência das notícias que vieram recentemente a público que dão conta de que o governo terá decidido propor duas novas travessias rodoviárias sobre o rio Tejo, a ZERO considera inaceitável que, num momento em que as emissões do setor dos transportes colocam gravemente em risco as metas climáticas do país, sejam apresentadas ideias que agravariam seriamente esses riscos através do aumento de capacidade dos acessos rodoviários à capital do país.
Quando a principal prioridade em mobilidade urbana deve ser a redução significativa do uso de transporte individual, a diminuição dos tempos de viagem no transporte público e compartilhado, além da eletrificação dos veículos de grande circulação, é incompreensível que se invista tempo e recursos na busca por formas de financiar grandes obras, como a construção de rodovias entre Algés e Trafaria e na ponte ferroviária essencial Barreiro-Chelas, que inevitavelmente aumentariam o uso de carros[...].

This old Phone reads Poetry to you using a Raspberry Pi Zero.![The maker known as [Rootkid] according, the idea for the project came to mind after noticing an old phone at a thrift store. People would pick up the phone and hold it to their ear but would inevitably be met with silence. One way to remedy this problem would be to throw in our favorite SBC to play all sorts of audio [in this case poetry].
In order to pull this project off, [Rootkid] needed to find a database of poems to use and, thankfully, came across a huge selection from a website run by an organization known as the Poetry Foundation. This website has a wide variety of audio recordings of poems which [Rootkid] was able to access and play through the phone using a Raspberry Pi Zero.](https://nerdculture.de/system/media_attachments/files/114/477/703/909/652/992/original/ccae6ecbd68d3acb.jpeg "The maker known as [Rootkid] according, the idea for the project came to mind after noticing an old phone at a thrift store.

[Rootkid] opted to use a Raspberry Pi Zero for this project, which has a smaller form factor but still plenty of power. This was also easier to work into the phone and integrate with the original speakers in the handset. A couple of 3W audio amplification modules were necessary for the Pi to control the speakers.](https://nerdculture.de/system/media_attachments/files/114/477/704/868/982/918/original/bcffcfd6217c3a09.png "[ImageSource: Rootkid]

However, playing the poetry audio presented an unexpected snag. The files from the Poetry Foundation often contain an intro segment in which the people reading the audio introduce themselves and the poem.
To make the experience a bit more seamless, [Rootkid] decided to use Whisper X, an AI system, to find out exactly when the poetry audio starts and stops so the introductory segments could be skipped entirely. This is done by parsing the audio into text and analyzing it to find the appropriate timestamps.](https://nerdculture.de/system/media_attachments/files/114/477/705/969/302/944/original/907bc51796bb2df3.png "[ImageSource: Rootkid]
