I don't understand why people are so fanatical about streaming every little piece of media they consume. Storage is dirt cheap. Audio files are small. Videos can be deleted after watching.
It's 2020. There's no reason to rely on heavy, JS-laden web pages or shitty mobile apps and ads every 2 seconds on both.
A joke which only works on the legacy Internet :)

And now also on Sourcehut for those with a dislike for github: https://git.sr.ht/~proycon/vocage (patches welcome)

Vocage, my new terminal-based flashcard tool, is now also in the Arch User Repository, install with for example: yay -S vocage-git
I just released 'vocage', a minimalistic terminal-based vocabulary learner or flashcard tool that operates on simple plain-text tsv files. It uses a spaced-repetition algorithm to help you efficiently retain words. All open source & written in rust ๐ฆ

Possibly useful for NLP and data science: I wrote a small CLI tool in
๐ฆRust to split text-stream data into multiple sets (like train, test, development), with some fancy features (like multiple dependent input files, order preservation, custom delimiters). https://github.com/proycon/ssam

"Tech can be democratic only when a political process involving voters and representatives, rather than consumers and Silicon Valley thought leaders, has a chance to shape how the tech platforms are run."

One of the most epic/longest pieces I ever played on piano: Prelude to War (composed by Bear McCreary, featured in Battlestar Galactica): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qcwNrhoXZM
This was four years ago, I'm afraid I forgot most already by now, time to practise again perhaps...
