Something people often forget is that it's not just public or government schools. Even the majority of expensive private schools suffer from the same issues.

I never took these courses myself, but some acquaintances long ago recommended some distance learnimg certificate and diploma courses in Sanskrit from a uni in India. They've been on my bucket list for over a decade, but perhaps they can add to the resources mentioned above:

Is it a legal requirement that we all go around saying and writing "X, formerly Twitter""? 😆

Earlier today, I was listening to another New Discourses podcast episode about social-emotional learning, and the host kept mentioning how the SEL devotees want our children to use wearable smart tech so that they can track everything, down to their movements & heartbeats to ensure kids are meeting the behaviour goals set out by SEL experts.

It got me thinking that I haven't looked into privacy-respecting alternatives to wearable tech in a long while, and a quick search turned up a neat project: BangleJS. For those that like to tinker, select their own apps, or even write their own code, this looks like an awesome option.

Forget all of the data harvesting that major corporations want to get from us, and put in the time to customise your own tech. Teach your kids the same!

I've seen a few folks posting about nostr:npub1yzvxlwp7wawed5vgefwfmugvumtp8c8t0etk3g8sky4n0ndvyxesnxrf8q recently. While the interface is quite pleasant to use, does it have any other features that stand out for you?

And if you've switched entirely from another app or site, what made you choose Yakihonne over another client?

Some additional context would be helpful. From the very little bit of information I've read and watched about 3D printing weapons in the US, my impression was that Americans had the right in most jurisdictions to print. Why are these particular "ghost guns" illegal to possess?

Today is Holodomor Commemoration Day in Ukraine and for Ukrainians all over the world.

“Death solves all problems. No human, no problem.” - Joseph Stalin

The Holodomor (“extermination/death by hunger” in Ukrainian) destroyed Ukraine and took millions of lives; nearly one-fifth of the country’s population was lost. The dreadful famine that engulfed Ukraine, the northern Caucasus, and the lower Volga River area in 1932-1933 was the result of Joseph Stalin’s policy of forced collectivization.

¿Qué más tiene que pasar en España para que despertemos?

Tenemos un gobierno corrupto hasta la medula, un gobierno que no ha ayudado lo más mínimo a su pueblo en las últimas catástrofes, un gobierno que ayuda antes a los inmigrantes ilegales que a los españoles, un gobierno que ayuda antes a los okupas que a los propietarios, un gobierno que odia a los empresarios, un gobierno que sigue la agenda 2030 al milímetro, un gobierno que expolia al pueblo día tras día.

Creo que tenemos un grave problema de educación. Los sistemas educativos buscan crear buenos trabajadores y ciudadanos obedientes que paguen impuestos sin rechistar y lo que necesitamos son hombres y mujeres con pensamiento crítico y valientes, y no los tenemos.

No veo esperanza, está muy bien el salvarse uno mismo, pero yo quiero un mundo mejor para mis hijos, quiero una España mejor para mis hijos.

What else has to happen in Spain for us to wake up?

We have a government that is corrupt to the core, a government that has not helped its people in the least in the last catastrophes, a government that helps illegal immigrants before it helps Spaniards, a government that helps squatters before it helps homeowners, a government that hates businessmen, a government that follows the 2030 agenda to the millimeter, a government that plunders the people day after day.

I think we have a serious education problem. Education systems seek to create good workers and obedient citizens who pay taxes without complaint and what we need are men and women with critical thinking and courage, and we don't have them.

I see no hope, it is all very well to save oneself, but I want a better world for my children, I want a better Spain for my children.

God forbid, but is the situation heading towards another 1936?

"I'd wager" simply means that I'm guessing, based on the information provided. I have no definitive information one way or the other.

Sorry to hear about the lack of sales, but it still sounds like a worthy endeavor! Best of luck as you continue to develop your store!

A year or so ago, I vaguely recall having seen a Nostr tool that allowed me to merge my different bookmarks from different clients. Since I've toyed around with a dozen or so different clients, I suspect I've got a bunch of different bookmark lists floating out there in the ether and could definitely use something like that tool.

Does anyone know if such a thing still exists, how effective it is, and how to find it? Being able to work with a single bookmarks list on MoStard, Amethyst, and a few other clients would be immensely helpful.

It's been, maybe, a decade and a half since I last used a "slider" phone with a proper keyboard but would love to have another one again. It's a true shame that manufacturers stopped making these.

In an ideal world, I'd love to combine GrapheneOS, LineageOS or similar with a phone like this. Being able to type out more extensive content and messages on a real keyboard, that's the dream!

Given the traumatic experience the first time around, I'd wager she wouldn't want to attempt that journey again.

Only a couple of sales? Given the number of listings under a variety of product categories, I'd assumed business was booming!

I continue to be impressed by the growth of your shop.

Should you ever be willing to do so, it would be interesting to read a write-up on how you started, some rough stats on the number of sales you've managed, a few details on the types of popular products, etc.

I imagine this sort of info would be helpful to people in other locales to replicate the model to help privacy seekers in other parts of the world.

Tech and privacy nerds, has anyone messed around with VeniceAI yet?

Using the free tier, I submitted a few test prompts and got back fairly solid responses, both in terms of text and photo output.

Now, I just need to figure out if they can accept lightning payments or XMR.
