!! I love LilyPond. Found in back in 2010 when I installed Ubuntu for the first time and wanted an alternative to Finale…first OSS software I probably knowingly used. I felt like a real coder typing my music. Frescobaldi is a nice compliment to LilyPond. I still use LilyPond to this day

Femme fatale! I wonder how this would have played out if it weren’t for that girl at the hostel flirting with him, wanting to see the man behind the mask.

Let me know how it goes, or if you get more creative. I wish I used the XMPP side more, but people I know use Signal or just text.

Sure, there are other ways to go about getting more or less the same functionality. I love hearing other ideas.

jmp.chat is an open source VoIP provider. The telephone itself, a Cortelco 2500 telephone, is not bluetooth nor VoIP. I love the classic physical gong ringer. The telephone connects to the Cell2Jack adapter via a standard telephone cable (6P2C/RJ11). The Cell2Jack itself has the bluetooth. What’s cool is I can also use the telephone speaker as a one-ear “headphone” device for any and all media I play on my device if I change the setting on Cell2Jack.

I like Dino! However, the way Cell2Jack is designed to integrate with smartphone native dialer phone apps (either Android or iPhone), Dino wouldn’t be as seamless as I would like for my purposes, and the telephone ringer wouldn’t ring (again, due to Cell2Jack design). Cheogram integrates with the native phone dialer so I don’t even have to use a device screen to answer or dial out a number using either the Android or Raspberry Pi setup. The tactile experience is desirable to me so I’m attempting to go headless on the Pi too. But, maybe I’m missing some perspective here…I would love to hear other people’s take on this sort of idea!

Latin: I’m reading at a level of a second year student. Noun and adjective declensions are solid, but I am trying to hone in on different tenses of complicated verb forms, such as imperfect passive conjunctive. I can only speak Latin with small phrases derived from vocabulary and familiar texts I’ve read. My speech is quite limited since there is no one around me that has an interest in Latin, so I have to piece together and memorize what I want to say before saying it.

Ancient Greek: I know only the alphabet.

Both: I am a self learner in my adult years and did not take either language via schooling.

For example, from a US-based perspective, a “positive” is that law enforcement agencies and the thousands of social media monitoring tools they utilize look at Twitter and other big platforms. LEO agencies have had for years the channels to monitor posts and request instantaneously from those companies supplemental information on the user or post that is being investigated. LE will be out of luck if they were attempting to immediately investigate a user on an obscure white supremacist forum hosted in Russia. That website owner and its servers would not be in jurisdiction to respond to that request.

Also, please see my other reply 1 minute before yours regarding private companies being able to ban, suprress, etc. I agree with you that private companies can run their own ship how they please, whether in the best interests of profit or ideology.

Sure, I don’t object to your statement of Twitter not being a free platform, and I did not claim it was. Conversely, other social media have been also known to suppress the right and protect the left. Social media can “lean” so to speak. They are provately operated companies after all. I value free speech nonetheless.

Freedom of speech is good. White supremacists or any other group ideological supporters will always find a way to communicate and share their message, regardless of the century, technology, or censorship. Frankly, doing this openly on X/Twitter versus some obscure unknown forum or encrypted platforn is a positive. Social media as a whole is susceptible to ideological campaigns from groups and other countries, not just X/Twitter.

Time is money, and this format of teaching/learning is my favorite. Please post here, I’m all alone.

The two-party system is perfect. George Washington and John Adams had it wrong when they claimed a two-party system would be an evil. No policies of third parties have ever been adopted by either of the two big parties. No political candidate would ever dare switch between and third party and that of one of the big two, sometimes multiple times over their career. Useless. Certainly the political spectrum is sufficiently represented as a two-dimensional line depicting left, center, and right? Issues such as monetary policy, interventionalist policies, border security, personal liberty, states’ rights, federal powers, and debate of democracy vs. republic have already been solved and merits no further discussion. All 335 million Americans’ ideologies fit perfectly into either of the two big parties’ platform and always have. No other party besides Democratic and Republican have ever dominated US politics. Political parties are so paramount to the existence of America that the founding fathers went through great lengths to outline their implementation in the Constitution.

That is true, but there is a good reason. For example, you may call 911 in North America without any cell plan, or without a SIM. As you long as you are within physical range of any cell tower (whether your phone shows bars or not) the 911 call will go through. This is required by law. So, like your quoted text indicates, 911 calls would just need to be routed through your phone’s native dialer instead of, let’s say, Cheogram’s dialer (jmp.chat’s phone/message app).

Thanks for enlightening me. That is certainly concerning. I am not knowledgable enough to say if eSIM would be outside the scope of that attack. There are some differences in how the tech is implemented, but heck my eSIM still connects to the cell tower at the end of the day (and to multiple carriers, at that, unlike physical SIM). If there is a surface area, there is a chance for attack vectors.

What security risks are you considering for physical SIM?

You can keep your cell number with jmp.chat. Call over wifi or data. They offer eSIM. View text messages on any device/program with XMPP support. 2FA works 100% like normal unlike VoIP. All data, calls, texts are routed through their VPN first, then the cell network. Any other inhouse XMPP chat not going to networks stay within XMPP. I have no affiliation with jmp.chat, I am satisfied with the service.

Personal: 0% unless it is a call with a planned time.

Work: 0% unless it is an in-house number of my organization. Communication can occur via email, please and thank you.

I imagine you missed the nuances of what he describes as the human elements of music. Humans fluctuate tempo. Humans can play music with other humans impromptu based on common repertoire or musical templates, themes, and styles. Humans can call and response based on riffs or quotes. Music and dance are quite literally on the few cultural pillars of humanity across all cultures and time for its social uses. Often, all this music software is used in solitude, never to be utilized in a social way. New music tech and music instruments are just tools. It is about how one uses them.

I can see this being useful for young children who need access to information but whose parents don’t want them in creepy pockets of the internet.
