Just published a blog post on #Convo, my #XMPP chat app for #KaiOS :xmpp:

badrihippo.thekambattu.rocks/c…

It's basically a rehashing of the README and #Liberapay page with a few added plugs for KaiOS but I suspect it still took me longer to write than the last actual feature I added to the app so go figure 🤷🏾

I cannot emphasize enough how monumentally stupid and/or malicious it is to tell Christians that they can’t be Christian and vote for Harris. Yet that argument is all over Twitter and pervasive in evangelical circles. It’s absolutely nuts.

I would never say that someone "can't be Christian" if they vote for a certain candidate. What I will say is that if a Christian knowingly votes for a candidate who openly supports abortion rights and who wants to do everything possible to legalize abortion, they need to understand that this conflicts with Christian teaching.

This is an exciting change. A Wall Street Journal article about how buttons are making a comeback. A pleasant surprise is that they interviewed the CEO of the company I'm working with that is bringing physical controls back to induction stoves, Channing Copper.

So, hospital update, there's good and not so good news. Blood pressure's stable, weight's down. I have meds for the nausea and more meds for other problems on the way. Not so good news: I couldn't have the iron infusion, they were absolutely unable to insert a canular, so will have to try tablets. Kidney function is significantly down and they feel it's time to get our local hospice involved. All in all though, I'm reasonably pleased and will now move forward with hope.

David Goldfield reshared this.

iron tablets are some of the most disgusting things I've ever had to chew. So when you do, make sure you've got something nice to compensate, unless you get the sort you just swallow and be done with!

GNOME's streaming radio app is... really good


Shortwave is a Rust-based streaming radio (IP radio/internet radio) application written by Felix Häcker, and it's my favorite way to manage my streaming radio stations on Linux. It's a GNOME Circle application but I use it on KDE Plasma and Sway, and it works fine over there (for me anyway). Maybe you'll like it!

Rovnou říkám, pro zkušené uživatele si najděte něco míň polopatického, ale tady byl záměr to udělat opravdu step-by-step s obrázky a případnými zádrhely.
Pokud se Vám to líbí, klidně kopírujte, linkujte nebo cokoli Vás napadne.

Happy Monday, I come back to work with a bunch of Slack responses to do, but it's good to stretch the accessibility muscles again and get back into the seat after a week off. I need distractions anyway from the election. People asking me questions and needing my help to solve various issues in their repo is far better for me than ruminating on news. I stayed largely away from it last week with Myth Busters and watching the Science channel or Investigation Discovery, stuff like that. #workPost

A lot of my daily catch-up comes from all the Europeans doing their work in the middle of the night for me and then me having about a 3-hour window to speak with them.

Čech Karel Kučera zemřel u Bachmutu ve třiadvaceti letech

Když se Kučerovi dozvěděli, že syn Karel odjel bojovat na Ukrajinu, šíleli strachem. „Pokud ruská vojska neporazím já tam, budeme s nimi za pár let bojovat my tady,“ říkal prý. Karel zemřel při obraně Bachmutu 18. března 2023.

@MapComplete hello, I'm trying to use your theme of Maxspeed.
It seems to work on my android phone (Firefox browser) but not in my laptop (also using Firefox).

I can see roads without a speed limit set but when I click on it, nothing happens
No popup screen is displayed.

Are there any known issues running on Firefox?

Chin hammocks are a fashion statement that say:

"I can't follow basic instructions"

Living in the middle of hope and fear:

"Conservatives are the party of toxic optimism. They’re recklessly overconfident, whatever their actual chances. That’s what you’d expect from a party run by religious fundamentalists who believe God is on their side. Blind faith is the supreme virtue, and admitting to any doubt is ferociously discouraged and will get you cast out.

Progressives have the opposite problem. We’re excessively pessimistic, often more so than the facts support. We’re overly susceptible to doom and gloom and catastrophizing. After bad headlines, I often find social media becomes unbearable for a few days, as people I follow engage in a collective lamentation.

I try to bear this in mind and calibrate my expectations accordingly. I find it’s most pleasant to live in a state of mild optimism: hoping for the best, but being prepared for the worst."

Out of safety concerns, I hope anyone going to vote tomorrow (especially in blue cities in red states ie #Atlanta) stay alert and aware of their surroundings.

I suspect voter intimidation tactics, including violence are possible to occur tomorrow. I absolutely hope I’m wrong and overly paranoid - but I always operate from a place of “better safe than sorry”.

Is it possible to install an add-on or configure something in #KODI (#LibreELEC) so that I may use Kodi as a play-back device for anything with sound on my Android mobile?

I can play back Android-local mp3 files using Yatse but I want to use my sound setup for playback of all sorts of stuff like podcasts, videos, ... without having a second app/data setup on Kodi.

Hey lovely beings of the fediverse, I'm a #neurodivergent woman seeking others who have a passion for #breathwork, #hypnosis, and #meditation, and other subjects that might be related. I'm actively working on being able to speak about these things in everyday conversation, both because I'd like to connect with more folks who have at least some understanding of any or all of these things, and in an attempt to teach myself that the world won't end if people don't have that prior knowledge/understanding. To that end, any and all replies are welcome.
PS: I'm also a #writer, and maintain a youtube channel where I post soundscapes and other things, though mostly soundscapes at the moment. That channel can be found here:

Hi, lovely person! I am another kind of neurodivergent person, who also loves meditation, breathwork, and might sometimes write, I also occasionally break things. :) I hope you're well. Oh and did I forget to mention I live on the other side of the world? Exaggerated of course, only now, I have to wish you good afternoon. :) I'd love to chat, or whatever is comfortable. If I find something interesting, I tend to talk a lot.
