Ubuntu’s ‘Myna’ AI lets you talk instead of type – but how does it work
As you will know, Ubuntu is adding AI features this year, and Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth hopes the distro will become the OS for the ‘agentic’ era. But big ambitions begin with a small seed, and the first is planted is a speech-to-text tool dubbed Myna. Name: Myna. Age: Minus 4 months (it’ll debut in Ubuntu 26.10, out in October). Appearance: A keyboard shortcut you press to avoid using your keyboard for typing. What’s this about? A “lightweight speech-to-text application” powered by AI.

[$] Flexible metaprogramming with Rhombus
Lisp-like languages have historically led the world in metaprogramming and flexibility. While many modern languages have adopted the idea of macros, Lisp-like languages such as Racket have continued pushing the envelope, attempting to make macros as easy as possible to incorporate into everyday programs. On the other hand, Lisp's minimal, parenthesis-based syntax can be hard to adapt to — to the point that Lisp is sometimes said to stand for "Lots of Irritating Silly Parentheses". Rhombus is a new programming language that aims to have the best of both worlds, marrying Racket's metaprogramming capabilities to a simple Python-like syntax and reasonable standard-library defaults.
