[Healing without allyship is spiritual bypassing and privilege. Protesting and organizing without healing will undermine the efforts you support. Protest without litigation becomes self-serving, and litigation without protest lacks teeth. Critique without counter-growth creates burnout. Building systems without addressing the ugliness of the current one is detached.

The mind separates, the body integrates.
Imprisoned in every UI is a concatenative REPL operating on a stack. Buttons do “type function + Enter,” GUI renders return stack.
Are there examples of the opposite of this where “imprisoned in every command-line program is a GUI that lets you discover its features” or “type command with arguments becomes a button”?

Whisper or ‘Whisper-Faster’ can run as a standalone terminal program on macOS 10.14 with whisper-standalone-win by simply downloading the binary from ‘releases’ and running a single command from the resulting folder:
./whisper-faster "~/alfa/bravo.mp3" --pp --model base.en --language=en --output_format all --output_dir .
This will fetch the model if there isn’t a local copy, and transcribe into about half a dozen formats, including plaintext, JSON, and subtitle files.
The openai/whisper documentation says:
The .en models for English-only applications tend to perform better, especially for the tiny.en and base.en models. We observed that the difference becomes less significant for the small.en and medium.en models.
To run it without printing text into the console, use -pp or send to NUL

Bobby McFerrin: Circlesongs - Live in Budapest (2018)
Been appreciating lately how hard it is to sing in tune and so I enjoyed this on a higher level than normal.
27:17: wildly precise abstract tuning, singing, and gibberish without turning into a mess.
31:31: groovy bass-y beatboxing to support instrument-like vocal solos.
43:31: improvised speaking through music and singing, realistic voice-only drum groove; polyrhythmic breaking of Bobby’s voice to create effects.
[Instead of voting yes or no, rate all options on a scale of 0 through 5 and calculate multiple rounds in one session.]
It’s useful to journal or take notes even if they aren’t synthesized, just as it is to take photos even if they aren’t synthesized.
Other people could be more inclined to get involved when it’s aligned with their current goals, when it feels like riding the same bus together.
