I'm a human being. I have dreams. But the genocide changed my dreams. In the past I had big dreams. But now all my dreams are to live a normal life.What normal life means for me?
A normal life is to sleep peacefully in the night. To have a home where my family gathers. To eat healthy food and drink clean water. To meet friends in the university. That's it! Unfortunately these basics became big dreams
Please donate to help my family overcome this tough time

Urgent help for Ahmed's family
"Iām tired, Mama. Iām thinking of the hours that I'll spend tomorrow in the water line." ā says 9 year old Ahmed to his mother before going to sleep.Chuffed

Everyone hates all adverts. That's why the top extensions for browsers are always ad blockers. Someone needs to invent a better business model than advertising.
Muslim mindset: āIām fasting, donāt eat in front of me or I might be tempted.ā
Christian: practices self-control and doesnāt make a public show of fasting.
Muslim man: sees a woman who isnāt fully covered and says, āCover yourself or Iāll be tempted.ā
Christian man: sees the same thing and says, āI need to guard my heart and discipline my eyes so I donāt sin.ā
Christianity deals with the heart. We emphasise self-discipline and self-control. Islam, on the other hand, tries to control the environment instead, asking others to change because the individual hasnāt learned to master himself.
When the heart is truly transformed, temptation loses its power. Self-control means taking responsibility for your own desires, not placing the burden on others. A disciplined heart governs the flesh, not the other way around.
What are your pain points, folks? Stuff that you hate doing or dealing with, or problems you can't find a good solution to? Stuff that other people might be frustrated with, too.
I'm looking for a way to make myself valuable to other people, as a way to both help people and also earn an income to feed my family in the process.
One thing I can do *really well* is create reliable software to automate rote tasks, generate financial/statistical/other reports, or calculate difficult solutions. Think it can't be done without LLMs? I might surprise you!
Throw me a bone!
Please boost for reach!

@NicksWorld This made me smile! You're quite welcome. I hope it already does what you need, but if not, ping me and we can have that chat.
@NicksWorld So I just downloaded this out of curiosity, and it seems like they definitely did some good work on accessibility. Unfortunately on macOS when used with VoiceOver, it doesn't really behave like a standard Mac app in terms of the UI and VoiceOver doesn't work how you would expect. This completely makes sense as it's open source and likely not developed using something like Swift UI, but for Mac users I would honestly stick to iWork.
A good friend of mine needs a lot of help. Facing health challenges as well as eviction, she needs enough covered to keep her, her partner and their cats from becoming homeless. Payment is going to be due by February or they get evicted, and they need as much covered as possible. They've personally helped me out before in my time of need nearly 2 years ago; please help me boost and cover their costs, I'll be forever grateful!
Python in 2026:
- New code doesn't work, misses dependency
- Dependency can't be installed with old PIP
- PIP can't update itself, since it is too old
- Delete PIP, download PIP installer
- PIP installer is too new for old Python
- download old-style new PIP installer
- install new PIP
- install dependency
Now I'm sitting there wondering what the new code was supposed to solve. Forgot why I ever tried to change that thing.
"Wenn man die Lage Polens auf dem Globus anschaut, sind die vom Deutschen Reich gestellten Fragen Ć¼brigens nachvollziehbar."
Was fĆ¼r ein wahnsinnig gefƤhrlicher Trottel!
"Trottel" soll nicht implizieren, dass dieser skrupellose Anti-EuropƤer im Rang eines Fraktionsvorsitzenden, der ganz sicher Merz' rostiger Sargnagel sein wird, so einen imperialistischen Dreck nicht mit vollkommener, berechnender Absicht ƶffentlich raushaut.
Trottel ist ableistisch und darf von dir zukĆ¼nftig gern vermieden werden.
Behindertenfeindliche Wƶrter sind Nazisprech ā¤
Und leider auch verharmlosend, denn, wie du selbst schreibst, machen Menners wie Spahn das nicht aus "geringer Intelligenz", sondern aus Berechnung und einer faschistoiden SchlƤue heraus.
brrr.

Ha. Wanted to read my home timeline without seeing replies. Control shift F, unchecked replies, and boom! The only thing it didn't do that it was supposed to was retain my buffer position, but hell yeah. Love filtering in realtime.
Zach Bennoui reshared this.
We're having a bit of a rough weekend. Had some things yesterday that locked the system out. Nobody could switch and the fronter had no connection to our headspace. We don't assume today will be that much better, but we're hoping tomorrow and the rest of the week will be less of a mess. How's everyone else's time? As always we hope everyone is well and taking care of themselves. - Samara
@Bri Yeah, hopefully it will. Yesterday was just rough because people were being jerks. Today seems to be a liiiittle easier though, but that's also not a very high bar. - Samara
I'm sorry guys, #FastSM's Bluesky support is kinda lackluster at the moment. My main focus has been Mastodon, but working on some Bluesky fixes now.
Good point lol, I guess if some crazy fediverse like thing happens where someone creates an ATProto service that becomes a viable alternative to vanilla Bluesky it'll be useful then.
OK, so all I can trace from my minidumps is, my crashes are happening with how I'm calling LibEspeak.dll. hmm. This engine may not be ready for awhile. I'm going to have to break down both X86 and x64 calling conventions for Espeak. At least it's open-source so this isn't hard just more work.
OK, looks like The issue is with eSpeak initialization: calling FreeLibrary in the destructor may unload the module while leaving the static variable espeak_initialized true. Huh. Reference counters, here we come.

Just realized: Whenever I read outrageous news about politics, my outrage comes second. First, my brain makes an attempt to find a perspective in which it might make sense to act like these morons do.
Thatās not healthy for my brain. But Iāve trained myself so well that I canāt seem to unlearn the reflex.
And this is the main reason why I have to avoid news these days. Of course itās also because of the helplessness and all the bad emotions. But mainly because āunderstandingā causes damage to my brain and soul.
Ok, @x0 will also be happy to know: I added two new language settings:
1) autoTieDiphthongs
When enabled, the frontend scans token sequences and if it sees: previous token is vowel/semivowel, current token is vowel/semivowel, current is NOT wordStart and NOT syllableStart (so we donāt smash hiatus) and not already tied, not lengthened, and the second vowel looks like a typical offglide candidate (high vowels like i, ÉŖ, u, Ź, ā¦)
ā¦it marks them as tied internally (prev.tiedTo=true, cur.tiedFrom=true), so timing treats the second part as a short offglide.
The second setting is autoDiphthongOffglideToSemivowel. Optional, off by default. If enabled and autoTieDiphthongs is enabled, then when we auto-tie we also try to swap the offglide vowel to a semivowel: i/ÉŖ/ÉØ -> j u/Ź -> w - This is the āmake the glide more obviousā switch. I hope these will help people.
