Maybe I'm in my feelings, but dang it hurt to be cussed at by a family member arguing about public education. I just said I and another family member have been part of the system so we might have more insight. However, I didn't want to argue their socialist stance so they got upset. It is truly scary when folks rely on the state to the point that they don't think they can do better. But in the same breath praise what I've done through homeschooling...

Do you have any concrete examples of what type of tech you have in mind that shares human values?
This is the #bookstr macro I want to use for publishing all of the Great Works, so anyone interested should scream at me, now. (Or don't, and scream at me, later, as I am always around. ๐Ÿ˜‚) I've been working on it, for months, by attempting to publish different `30040` structures and see how I would best-address the individual parts. Also, I've been reading a lot of citation pattern documentation. That's how I came to the conclusion to make one generic book macro, rather than something #Bible specific. #christian #catholic #biblestr
The #bookstr ๐Ÿ“– macro is hierarchical. If you find a section or verse event, in the wild, you can just drop the section tags, to find the whole chapter, or the section and chapter tags, to find the whole book. This means you can always backtrack to the entire publication, from just one quoted line or paragraph. We are going to be having these tags in all of our publications, so you will be able to "Bible-search" and "Bible-cite" any of our books! I love books. Name checks out. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
Some things: 1. *You have to scroll-right on mobile.* Unlike Jumble and Alexandria, Wikistr is an unapologetic desktop-focused app, and that's why it's cool. If you have a wide screen, you can open up lots of panels, and make some wider, and it turns into the document version of a Bloomberg terminal. Credit for this design goes to @fiatjaf. 2. The different Wikistr themes have different looks, help text, and *different relays*, for the document search and the social interactions. #Quranstr uses Nostrabia, for instance, whilst #Biblestr focuses on Christpill. The basic #Wikistr has been left secular. I am looking for a Jewish relay, but haven't yet found one, so #Torahstr uses generic ones. 3. All have light and *dark themes*. The light themes are so much prettier, but I know you will all use the dark ones. 4. All themes take *your personal relay list* into account, and share a few document relays, so you can just pick the theme you like and use that. 5. *We printed the Bible first because Gutenberg did* and he's the inspiration for our Nostr printing press. We will proceed to print all other open-license books we can find, including the Torah, Quran, classical authors, English literature, etc. They will all be searchable, with this mechanism. 6. This wikistr *can find and render kinds 300023, 30041, 30817, 30818, 30040*, and the comments are kind 1111 and you can vote at the top of the panels, using the up/down arrow buttons. Only kinds 30817/818 are in the left-most panel feed, to keep it uncluttered and true to the origins.

It's worth noting that Psalm 42 is prayed by the priest and altar servers at the beginning of every Catholic Mass celebrated according to the old form (1962 and previous).
Archiving tip if you're a data hoarder like me If you have files you don't touch often (or ever). Archive them with tar or zip or 7zip. I'd suggest 7zip when you have more than a few gigabytes to store, and break them into smaller archive files, its easier on machines, youll thank me later. - Add your file to the archive - name your archives well, but not too verbose. - compute a checksum of the archive(s) (sha1, sha256, etc) - Take the first 8-12 hex character and append it to the end of the filename What you get - Likely less disk space - A chance for better organization - A smooth brain way to verify the integrity of the file incase you experience a disk error, bitrot etc - Less likely to lose single files when you copy files between disks. Losing a 5gb archive is far more obvious than a 50k pdf. I migrate storage, for hardware reasons, software reasons, disk failures, disk upgrades etc. Every time I move files I have a chance of losing one somewhere in the migration log. Most archive tools do a checksum, but having a smooth brain, universal check in the file name makes it super simple to check if the archive is corrupted if your tool set is limited.

It's insane to me that the Epstein files are used as a political football by both parties, as well as the voter base of both parties. "Look! Clinton is in the files!" says the red shirt. "Look! Trump is in the files!" says the blue shirt. It shouldn't matter. Unspeakable things were done to underage girls (and boys) over a long period of time. Incredibly powerful people were (and are) involved. Politicians are implicated across the aisle, obviously, as are three-letter agencies. Some of the kids are ~5yrs old. Some of the photos show toddlers. What the fuck? "Disgusting" doesn't even begin to describe the situation. How broken is the current landscape if the only lens this is viewed through is the political lens? One thing is worth remembering, however. It used to be a "conspiracy theory". Only a few months ago, talking heads and politicians would try to convince the public that there's no such thing as the Epstein files. Some high-ranking officials said as much under oath, even. What happened to perjury? Is it just a fancy word in today's day and age? I doubt that anyone will go to jail (except to commit "suicide"). And while perjury is a severe crime by most standards, it pales in comparison to what must have happened on the so-called "Lolita Express" that travelled so often to the "Virgin Islands". Oh, how funny. All these names. It would be comical if it wouldn't be so sad. Diabolical, even. U.S. politics is a joke. The idea of justice as well as the legal system increasingly feels like a joke too. Innocent people are being jailed. Corrupt politicians and other officials are roaming free, because ... what? They are too powerful? Too influential? The system would destabilize too much if things would come to light? Justitia holds a balance and a sword for a reason, and she wears a blindfold for a reason too. Today's reincarnation has no sword, no blindfold, and the balance she holds is obviously NOT using honest weights and measures. What a laughable attempt at "transparency". I would laugh if it wouldn't be so horribly, horribly sad.
