Last time I tried Google and Futo, none of them had Czech or Slovak. But I also use GrapheneOS which may be limiting my options.
Brainstorming a journal app, which may already exist
- text input or audio recording
- whisper.cpp transcription
- user-selected, local AI model that can help navigate obstacles, reflect, or search for content
- offline support
- private, open source
The immediate challenges I see are that transcription and local AI are memory intensive and aren’t practical to live only on frontend so it may not be possible as a PWA without compromise
Any other ideas/thoughts on this?
Not sure if nostr fits in since it is intended to be entirely personal and private

I would love something like this! And surely running local, I don't want my crazy thoughts to be wandering in the wilderness of internetz.
Languages may be a hurdle. Some people prefer to think in their fringe mother tongue and transcriptions may be less good in those. Also whenever I try AI in such a language, the responses are not perfect.(AI seems to throw in occasionally some Croatian into Czech or Slovak).
Historically, the left never showed empathy - although they may have claimed it, it was usually to one select group of people.
This entire worldview is based on hatred, dovisionism and envy, starting from marxism, through Bolshevism, through communism to our "democratic socialism". The attempts to always revive collectivism as "now better" are pathetic and show how little historical experience with collectivist brutality the Western world has and how little we are capable to learn from history.
A whole another topic is the belief in bipartisan choice or democracy per se, but that is a huge topic, don't want to abuse the space here.
Whoever has some heart, brains and morale left in them, will not support the leftist narrative (and probably not the right either).
People should for once understand how divisive politics is and stop bending over to their preferred democratically elected slavers.
Chuckling while reading Going Somewhere Truth about a Life in Science:
Jim Albright, the chairman of orthopaedics at the medical school in Louisiana,
"decided that the government’s monetary policy was unconstitutional and paper money was worthless, so he asked the state to pay him in gold."
One of them seemed to have the upper claw, but both were clearly tired of the fight. I hope she was worth it.
Reading the responses, I feel so alone.. Maybe the young kids are not the target audience?
Today on a hike, I saw something wriggling on the ground. Quietly I sneaked closer to find two #goshawks in a fighting grip. They were so into their business that I could come about a meter to them. #Nature is pretty amazing, especially when you go off the beaten track. https://video.nostr.build/e5a43be06890085dd9cbbecbcd2c64f90579187fb49a34b773404d671ece9f76.mp4 https://video.nostr.build/e5a43be06890085dd9cbbecbcd2c64f90579187fb49a34b773404d671ece9f76.mp4
Thought exactly the same.. A new 6102 event incoming..?
Watching an anarchist getting triggered screaming Shut up at me, because I told them to watch Jeffrey Sachs before they make ultimate claims about war on Ukraine. Priceless.

Probably not.. Bumblebee is too heavy for his flying equipment so it puzzles scientists.
This comes from a notion that there is no such thing as gravity on Earth. But that's a whole another rabbit hole :)
Probably to steer. Maybe to start resonating the cavity it has.
If this is true then Gods must be laughing out loud at human stupidity.
How much text is 2mil tokens? Ie If I need the personality to read about 5000 pages of literature before we can get along, is that possible?
Gm!
Bumblebees can't fly. But they do levitate!
They don't defy gravity, only change their electromagnetic charge.
I'm sure we can do that too.
It's not an opionion. It's a joke and you know why it's funny?
I’d like to thank you for taking the time to look into the topic, especially considering you’re not Muslim. Thanks, I really appreciate it.
I was born in london into a Christian family and raised a Christian until my late teens when I became a Muslim convert. I later travelled to Saudi Arabia, learnt Arabic and gained a degree in Islamic law, so I have a perspective from both sides.
I got into Bitcoin around 2016/17 and have been advocating for the Islamic alignment Bitcoin has, and a lot of what you said resonates with what I’ve observed myself. I wrote an Islamic ‘ruling’ (given I am a specialist in Islamic law) so if you wanted to dig a bit deeper you can have a read here: https://www.metamadeenah.com/a-statement-on-21-million/
Just thought I would add a few comments about what you wrote, to give something extra to contemplate.
**Theres no code for interest**
One of the features I absolutely love about Bitcoin is that its framework is not built on the premise of ‘mining coin with interest bearing loans’ which is the case with fiat, as you highlighted. It’s like gold. But you can still borrow it at interest, just like gold. So from that perspective we should still abstain from doing so, but you don’t need it to be coded into it for it to be possible.
**Gharar**
This has been slighting misunderstood in my perspective by many. Gharar means ‘financial ambiguity that hinders one’s ability to effectively evaluate the value of the item up for sale’. So if I wanted to buy a house, but was told I can’t look at it yet until I sign the contract, that’s prohibited in Islam. I need adequate information so that I can evaluate the value of what I want to buy. A small amount of unavoidable Gharar is accepted, like knowing how good the foundation of a building is, or how well a car was looked after from the previous owner, as you can’t get 100% knowledge on everything, but total ambiguity is not allowed. This doesn’t make sense when it comes to Bitcoin, because its value is known, and what you’re getting and giving is known. The supply isn’t really as relevant, much like the supply of iPhones on the market is irrelevant. It might matter to you the supply of a currency, but even if you didn’t (like with fiat, gold and altcoins like ETH) that doesn’t mean there is any ambiguity in the Bitcoin you have in hand right now.
**Wealth preservation**
The intent of wealth preservation in Islam is more about the wealth itself and not the value of it. Meaning, Islam forbids one from destroying wealth, like rolling a car off a cliff because one felt like it, destroying entire cities like what Israel did to Gaza etc, this is forbidden. Even in war, we’re not allowed to destroy the wealth of ppl, even if they are the opposition. So dropping a nuclear bomb into the middle of two cities (for example) would be absolutely forbidden. Not just for the murder of civilians (which is also forbidden in Islam) but also for the destruction of wealth. This is the meaning of destruction of wealth.
Inflation isn’t really that. Inflation is the adjustment of the value of something due to supply and demand. I can have inflation even if the money supply is fixed, due to supply related issues. Nobody calls that ‘destruction of wealth’. If you had a car, and the market got flooded with the same model, therefore the market price of your car drops, your car is still there and still has its functionality. Nothing has been destroyed.
**Scholars view of Bitcoin**
This is a nuanced discussion, but also not an interesting one. Many ppl outside Islam see Islamic scholars differing and think “oh they are divided” but are unaware that “agreement” is rare. Islam doesn’t have a clergy like Catholics and orthodox Christians. Every scholar is free to have their own opinions, and they do. It’s a lot more decentralised than ppl on the outside think. So because of that, scholars differ on almost everything lol 😂. That’s why we, as Muslims, focus on the evidence and reasons for the opinions we take, and not on the individual. A bit like bitcoiners (or how bitcoiners would like to be). We love Satoshi for what he brought, but we can also say that many things about Bitcoin he originally designed was flawed. That’s not controversial. That’s why we had segwit lol 😂.
So to conclude, I personally believe that with Bitcoin, scholars will eventually change their view of Bitcoin once they learn more about it, because their negative view is more built on a misunderstanding of how it works than what it actually is. Here is a video I made to demonstrate that.
But yeah, your article was overall well written and researched. I just wanted to add some nuance to it from a Muslim perspective, especially as Islamic law is my field.
There was a comment someone made about Islam being incompatible with bitcoins idea of ‘liberty’…I’d say, ignore him. He, as he admitted, doesn’t know what he’s talking about, especially as he thinks Israel ‘is pretty chill’ while at the same time it’s the only nation in the region engaging in apartheid and genocide.
Oh wow thanks a lot!
I'll take some time to check the links you shared and get back later.
