@clv1 hm, you shouldn't. you can try it this way:
normalization:
classes:
R_SCHWA_FOLLOW_CONS:
# consonants that were causing the full-schwa to sound too syllabic
# (you can expand this later if needed)
- "f"
- "m"
- "r"
- "s"

replacements:
# If we have r + schwa and the next phoneme is one of the consonants above,
# swap schwa to the reduced schwa ᵊ so /r/ stays audible without adding a full syllable.
- from: "rə"
to: "rᵊ"
when:
beforeClass: R_SCHWA_FOLLOW_CONS

they're not going to crack Signal's encryption, they absolutely have infiltrated these group chats a long time ago posing as concerned citizens trying to collect data on ICE agents and ICE activities

but I guarantee the majority of Signal users in that chat aren't using usernames, but still their phone numbers. So now you have all these contacts on Signal who have exposed their phone numbers to you, and you can look up who owns the number and start terrorizing those citizens for conspiring against ICE

oooh I guess the usernames don't protect you at all anyway

> If Signal receives a subpoena demanding that they hand over all account data related to a user with a specific username that is currently active at the time that Signal looks it up, they would be able to link it to an account. That means Signal would turn over that user’s phone number, along with the account creation date and the last connection date. Whittaker stressed that this is “a pretty narrow pipeline that is guarded viciously by ACLU lawyers,” just to obtain a phone number based on a username.

so they'll just get your identity anyway, because we know they won't be able to guard this from the government no matter how "vicious" these ACLU lawyers think they are

Signal’s New Usernames Help Keep the Cops Out of Your Data

Ephemeral usernames instead of phone numbers safeguard privacy — and makes the Signal messenger app even harder to subpoena.

@pietervdvn Because that would involve a human using their brains or having a shred of conscience and those both go against the basic principles of the companies doing this.

When I did the promotion for the Firefly movie back in 2005, Universal gave the website and Browncoats stuff to me (unpaid) and instead spent the marketing money on merchandise to give out.

Unfortunately they got the website name wrong and printed a porn site name on everything, so it had to be destroyed.

Agriculture Canada did an inquiry into Canada’s grocery industry and found it extremely “vertically integrated”. The differenent suppliers all owned by the same corporations that “compete” (NOT) to supply groceries.

Ag Canada is being cut back, these analysis will be abandoned to fund the tax break that offers minor relief while falling to challenge the issue, subsidizing these corporations allowing the profits to further integrate the industry.

Grocery corporations invest their profitability in becoming more profitable through integration. Until politicians are willing to recognize and challenge this the problem will continue to become more extreme

Taxpayer’s are funding failure, Poilievre fully supports this policy

Linking to an accessible companion guide on a site might be a better shout than braille. That would be easier to produce, easier to update, definitely cheaper to maintain and most importantly, it places the choice of how to consume that with each person who wants to read it. EG, I'm totally blind here, learned braille so young that I can't even remember not knowing it, but there are boatloads of blind/VI folk who lose sight later in life and never get that opportunity. IMO audio is a really nice to have extra if you can get it done within budget, but deafblind folk get the soggy end of the stick so often, I reckon I'd try to offset that a bit by commissioning a good writer over a sound designer if I were in your shoes.

BTW I live in London and my partner bloody loves a museum/exhibit. Would be happy to come and poke around ideas in progress. Holler whenever you've got something if that might help.
