Went too hard and now every nerve ending and neuron is complaining.
honestly I'm still chasing the fun of organic social discovery from SSB 😅
Sadly I haven't been able to get aby clients to work lately
14 hours coding straight and I've got the verifiable database demo working :P

@ninabreznik for what it's worth I obly really did essays on literature in my English classes too. i think some of it helped for my technical writing though.
@ninabreznik does the structuring of ideas partof essay writing still apply? I know that France essay writing is pretty different from north american styles which some folks I knew had trouble with

I played a bit more with Numen (a cool voice control system, see https://numenvoice.org/). I can not only control my desktop, laptop, or linux mobile phone (#sxmo) with it, but also my house (lights, heating, media, etc) from all of these devices. Next I'll hook some mics to my raspberry pi's and control home automation from there.
All this on-device, no cloud connections, and definitely no "Hey Google", "Siri" or "Alexa"!
@beka_valentine oo! Will this be published somewhere I may follow?

Fun fact about Microsoft #Windows: if you type Ctrl-Shift-Alt-Win-L, LinkedIn will open in your default browser. This is an OS hotkey that cannot be turned off.
I know this reads like a joke but it isn't.
Honestly, essay writing was a useful skill from school and I kinda wish I had practiced more as a kid.

I spent most of the time I've been trying to run a game company regretting the early decision to not use Unity for my project. But reading this, I'm really, really, *really* glad I don't have Unity anywhere in my stack
https://blog.unity.com/news/plan-pricing-and-packaging-updates
Things that stand out here:
- The pricing plan is baffling. It's like they designed it to make it impossible for you to make rational decisions about what you're getting into
- If they bait-switch you like this now, what will they do in ANOTHER 2 years?

I was featured in a news article about blind people using high speech rates over the weekend. I probably wouldn't have chosen the synth they chose for the "test your skills" video, but that's a minor nitpick. https://www.9news.com.au/national/the-secret-language-only-blind-people-can-understand--and-its-not-braille/667eca67-a032-497e-a8fe-2bfd0d57e1c7
@jalcine should I make sure distributed press works without it? Currently we do it to make the api calls look pretty ans that's about it. /v1/@username@domain.com/inbox instead of /v1/https%we%we%ver%verdomain.com%verusers%ver/11234
😅 also to make the blocklist format straightforward I guess?
@dirk Yeah hard agree. Exactly why I think there should be more tools for folks to be able to curate their social interactions.
If you haven't seen it before, you might like the trustnet article by cblgh. It's useful for surfacing stuff to give people subjective moderation relative to their personal preferences. https://cblgh.org/trustnet/
@jalcine nteresting. I could have sorn it'd have it out of the box with the alt+f2 shortcut. I usually map it to alt+space
@jalcine What distro are you on? I think most GNOME and KDE envs have it built in these days :P
@beka_valentine Out of curiousity which distro and desktop environment are you running at the moment? I'm on KDE Plasma via steam OS and the krunner integration there has been pretty handy. Especially how previous results get shown first.
