Do you have any concrete examples of what type of tech you have in mind that shares human values?

This is crushing all of the parsers, except those that are purely Asciidoc. 😂 Need to work on them, some more. Just look at the raw Asciidoc source.

This is the #bookstr macro I want to use for publishing all of the Great Works, so anyone interested should scream at me, now. (Or don't, and scream at me, later, as I am always around. 😂) I've been working on it, for months, by attempting to publish different `30040` structures and see how I would best-address the individual parts. Also, I've been reading a lot of citation pattern documentation. That's how I came to the conclusion to make one generic book macro, rather than something #Bible specific. #christian #catholic #biblestr

The #bookstr 📖 macro is hierarchical. If you find a section or verse event, in the wild, you can just drop the section tags, to find the whole chapter, or the section and chapter tags, to find the whole book. This means you can always backtrack to the entire publication, from just one quoted line or paragraph. We are going to be having these tags in all of our publications, so you will be able to "Bible-search" and "Bible-cite" any of our books! I love books. Name checks out. 😎

Some things: 1. *You have to scroll-right on mobile.* Unlike Jumble and Alexandria, Wikistr is an unapologetic desktop-focused app, and that's why it's cool. If you have a wide screen, you can open up lots of panels, and make some wider, and it turns into the document version of a Bloomberg terminal. Credit for this design goes to @fiatjaf. 2. The different Wikistr themes have different looks, help text, and *different relays*, for the document search and the social interactions. #Quranstr uses Nostrabia, for instance, whilst #Biblestr focuses on Christpill. The basic #Wikistr has been left secular. I am looking for a Jewish relay, but haven't yet found one, so #Torahstr uses generic ones. 3. All have light and *dark themes*. The light themes are so much prettier, but I know you will all use the dark ones. 4. All themes take *your personal relay list* into account, and share a few document relays, so you can just pick the theme you like and use that. 5. *We printed the Bible first because Gutenberg did* and he's the inspiration for our Nostr printing press. We will proceed to print all other open-license books we can find, including the Torah, Quran, classical authors, English literature, etc. They will all be searchable, with this mechanism. 6. This wikistr *can find and render kinds 300023, 30041, 30817, 30818, 30040*, and the comments are kind 1111 and you can vote at the top of the panels, using the up/down arrow buttons. Only kinds 30817/818 are in the left-most panel feed, to keep it uncluttered and true to the origins. The hyperlinks mentioned are: The original Wikistr, that I forked: https://wikistr.com/ Wikistr Imwald 🌲 https://wikistr.imwald.eu/ https://torahstr.imwald.eu/ https://quranstr.imwald.eu/ https://biblestr.imwald.eu/ GM

These never really took off because we have kind 30023. Nobody cares, if a microblog has a typo.

It's worth noting that Psalm 42 is prayed by the priest and altar servers at the beginning of every Catholic Mass celebrated according to the old form (1962 and previous).
🛡️
Is it maybe in Psalm 123 or 125. The Douay has an off-by-one thing going on with some of the Psalm numbers. That translation combines two of the early psalms that are separated in other translations.

Is this on a public repo yet? I'd love to take a peek at the code.

This is actually an expanded version of a previous post. There's still plenty of room for more expansion. Can add a bit, every year.
Natural instinct and the little voice in your head telling you something, these are subtle defense mechanisms. Over the years i've come to learn that i should trust those over anything external, so i try to always listen. #NaturalInstinct #Listen image

Markets shift focus back to the U.S. central bank as the week opens on 12 January 2026, with renewed political pressure on the Federal Reserve. After several weeks dominated by geopolitical episodes, administrative criticism of Fed policy has intensified and — for the first time in a long while — seriously raised questions about the institution’s independence. At the same time, the U.S. corporate earnings season begins, meaning investor attention will be split between any policy signals from the Fed and incoming company results. The combination of heightened political scrutiny of monetary policy and fresh corporate data could drive market reactions in coming days. Traders and analysts will be watching Fed communications, administration comments and early quarterly reports for clear indications on interest-rate outlooks and corporate performance. #Fed #EarningsSeason #USmarkets #FiatNews
GM ☀️ Your word of the day is! 🔤 Brackish [BRACK-ish] 📖 What It Means: Brackish, meaning “somewhat salty,” usually describes water or bodies of water, such as rivers, lakes, and estuaries. The word can also mean “not appealing to the taste” or “repulsive.” 📰 Example: The river becomes brackish as we approach the tidemark. 💬 In Context: “The blood-testing organs don’t measure water levels but rather the concentration of salt, whose healthy range lies at almost exactly the same concentration as that of the brackish intertidal water in which vertebrates first evolved (which is about one-third as salty as seawater).” — Dan Samorodnitsky, Wired, 28 Sept. 2025 💡 Did You Know? When the word brackish first appeared in English in the 1500s, it simply meant “salty,” as did its Dutch parent brac. Then, as now, brackish was used to describe water that was a mixture of saltwater and freshwater, such as one encounters where a river meets the sea. Since that time, however, brackish has developed the additional meanings of “unpalatable” and “repulsive,” presumably because of the oozy, mucky, and sometimes stinky (or stinkyish, if you prefer)—not just salty—qualities of coastal estuaries and swamps. 🔗 #WordOfTheDay #Nostr #Dictionary #Learning

The things that are _good_ for the poor and downtrodden tend to be _even better_ for the powerful and well-connected, so it's not really possible to help the former without helping the latter even more. Most people would probably just prefer to keep everyone down, rather than have to suffer the rich getting richer. This is, after all, the appeal of socialism. But it is also untenable, to stretch this financial inequality out further and further. At some point, the societal bands break and the economy collapses. Hard money doesn't end this effect. It might actually compound it, as only the rich can then get credit to make investments, and you need a certain amount of wealth to purchase things that allow you to be more financially efficient. Even Bitcoin is like this. Some people reject it because buying it invariably makes the larger hodlers richer. You gain purchasing power, but the people who have more Bitcoin take a cut off your gains, in addition to receiving the same gain. The poor will always be with you.
