What a bright future...
I want to design and build websites for people who want to own their website and stop depending on platforms
My initial idea was to sell the templates individually for $19, or offer a bundle of 100 templates for $250
However, I’ve also been thinking about a different approach: fundraising.
If I can raise a certain amount upfront, I could build the 100 templates and release them for free under an open-source license, so anyone can use them, customize them, and own them

OTTAWA - Prime Minister Mark Carney has vowed that 2026 will see huge economic growth for Canada's GDP, manufacturing, and exports, none of which will redound to you in the slightest.Ian MacIntyre (The Beaverton)

and I'd say:
1. Pair this with a blind-friendly distro that has everything configured (you'd need NFB/ACB support for this, as you probably need the metaphorical "company letterhead" to get secure boot certified).
2. Autotranslate into all the languages via LLMs. Sure, human translations are better than automatic translations, but automatic translations are better than nothing. Source: Not a native English speaker, I've actually relied on them back when Google Translate was borderline unusable.
3. Preferrably, pair this with scripts that can "walk through" the scenarios described in the book, making sure Orca output stays consistent as versions change. You could also this to automatically record multilingual walkthroughs, with human-written commentary between the steps.
I doubt we'd need a fully custom distro, with its own boot loader and unified kernel image that would need to be specially signed for Secure Boot. A stock boot loader and UKI from one of the major distros should be enough. For the rest of the distro, a Debian Pure Blend (debian.org/blends/) might be enough.
I really like the idea of using the training activities as regression tests.
feld likes this.
"this should be illegal" where "this" is actually already illegal
"we need stricter laws for this" where the current laws aren't even enforced
"they should be tougher on this" when current penalty is life in prison
I was asked by a family member why it was taking so long to paste something large into a new Microsoft Word document on their computer, I sarcastically replied it was because it takes a while to upload it all to the copilot AI nonense first. And then I realized accidentally I might be right...I disabled copilot in Word and it went back to being instant again
So that's cool that Microsoft seems uploading everything you paste into a new Word doc to their servers now.

From Facebook: 🤣 Embarrassing Medical Exams – Doctor Stories You Can’t Make Up
1. The Wrong Cab
A man bursts into the ER shouting, “My wife’s having a baby in the cab!”
I grab my kit, dash outside, fling open a taxi door, lift the woman’s dress, and start pulling off her underwear.
That’s when I realize—there are six cabs lined up.
I was in the wrong one.
— Dr. Mark MacDonald
2. Big Breaths
During rounds, I place my stethoscope on an elderly woman’s chest.
“Big breaths,” I instruct.
She sighs and replies, “Yes… they used to be.”
— Dr. Richard Byrnes
3. The Internal Fart
I had to deliver the worst news: “I’m so sorry. Your husband has passed away from a massive myocardial infarction.”
Minutes later, I overhear her telling the family, “He died of a massive internal fart.”
— Dr. Susan Steinberg
4. The Patch Problem
At a check-up, a man complains about one of his medications.
“Which one?” I ask.
“The patch,” he says. “The nurse told me to put on a new one every six hours. Now I’m running out of places to stick it!”
I ask him to undress.
He has over fifty patches plastered on his body.
(Instructions now clearly say: remove old patch first.)
— Dr. Rebecca St. Clair
5. Bedridden?
While meeting a new elderly patient, I ask gently, “How long have you been bedridden?”
She looks puzzled and says, “Not since my husband died—about 20 years.”
— Dr. Steven Swanson
6. Kentucky Jelly
Checking on a patient one morning, I ask, “How’s breakfast?”
“Good,” he says, “except for the Kentucky Jelly. Can’t get used to the taste.”
Curious, I ask to see it. He hands me a foil packet of KY Jelly.
— Dr. Leonard Kransdorf
7. Keep Off the Grass
A punky young woman comes in with appendicitis—purple Mohawk, tattoos, piercings.
On the operating table, we discover green-dyed pubic hair and a tattoo above it that says: “Keep off the grass.”
After surgery, the surgeon couldn’t resist writing on the bandage: “Sorry… had to mow the lawn.”
— Anonymous RN
8. The Whistling Exam
As a young OB resident, I was embarrassed doing pelvic exams, so I developed a nervous habit—whistling.
One day, mid-exam, a patient bursts out laughing.
Blushing, I ask, “Sorry… did I tickle you?”
Through tears she gasps, “No, doctor… but the song you were whistling was ‘I Wish I Was an Oscar Mayer Wiener.’”
— Name withheld for obvious reasons
9. Baby’s First Visit
At a baby’s first check-up, I ask the mother if he’s breastfed or bottle-fed.
“Breastfed,” she says.
“Alright,” I reply. “Strip down to your waist.”
She complies. I carefully pinch, knead, and examine, then shake my head.
“No wonder this baby’s underweight—you don’t have any milk!”
She calmly replies, “I know. I’m his grandmother. But thanks for checking.”
😂

I have felt annoyed and aggrieved by the 'let's be honest: we had no idea how bad this was gonna be- it's SHOCKING' year in review posts.
Motherfuckers, this is because you live in willful denial. Many of us told you and we aren't fucking Nostradamus- we knew because we simply **listened to what they said they planned to do** **knew and cared about people and communities who had been horrifically impacted last time** and **maintained a basic awareness of the last 100 years of Western history and noticed the places it rhymed**
This is not rocket science and I'm fucking pissed that amnesia and stupidity get to meme 'reality.'
I have been holding that in for weeks; whew.
