A quotation from Octavia Butler

I mean there’s no single answer that will solve all our future problems. There’s no magic bullet. Instead there are thousands of answers — at least. You can be one of them if you choose to be.

Octavia Butler (1947-2006) American writer
Essay (2000-05), “A Few Rules for Predicting the Future,” Essence Magazine

#Europe must suspend #Hungarian voting #rights as soon as possible. The #EU and the whole #freeWorld is now facing a time full of #difficulties and threats both from the outside (#Russia, #China, #USA) and inside (#Fidesz, #AfD, #Konfederacja and more). Due to that fact Europe must be #united like never before. We must speak with one voice. We must consolidate our efforts. We must create a #EuropeanArmy. We must #federaliseEurope, because there is no place for small countries in the new reality.

Dear Friends of the #Critical,

I #wish I could use #Free #Software. I #try. #Constantly. For example here is the NOT NEW #difficulties I am having to create a #podcast. Below link on rent an #English #gobby #ranting #lobster. AND I have been using #Audacity for a long time on #Puppy #Linux previously, Where the volume was always too low. Puppy eventually created its own #audio #recorder. That is another story.

How #blind people or those with even less #neurons manage to use Audacity successfully is a #tribute to their #persistence and probably wallets to get new #hardware and pay their local #GNU heroes [I have a long term plan for that] ​:firefish_love_happy:​

Now what are the #developers [Bless them] doing #wrong? #Nothing. This is the nature of #free, #proprietary and #combination systems across many #formats including phone/computers. Everything would be perfect if not for end users. ​:anarchy:​ Unfortunately they are the point of uses, the #ergonomic test bed.

Will I be filling out a form? A long term test dialogue? Nope. Done that. Been there. Have the T-shirt.
That is a kindness for the new generation to engage in ❤️

https://audio.com/lobster/audio/audacityrant

Below text generated with AI.
"The speaker is #frustrated with the recent #upgrade of Audacity 3.4.1 software. They are unable to find #basic #functions and their #headphones #support has #disappeared. They suggest finding #workarounds, such as using other programs for playback. They criticize how free software often becomes #unworkable due to added features, similar to non-free software."

Dear Friends of O and F,
OFten I #wonder about #lives I have not #lived. Always I have #compassion, time and limited #understanding. OF all lives, the #misunderstood are the #hardiest.

My #ease is #priceless, my #difficulties as nothing. It is why I #OFfer the #help I can, not what I can't 😇😈🫶

in the words of Outlaws Forever, Forever Outlaws OFFO ​:ablobcatpopcorn:​

Our #Fediverse,
Who art in #CyberSpace, 

Hallowed be Thy #Instance. 

Thy #Comments come. 

Thy Will be #Federated, 
on earth as it is in #Mars.
Give us this day our daily #YabYums. 

And forgive us our #Tooting, 

as we forgive those who #Troll against us. 

And lead us into temptation, 

but deliver us from #Elon.

Perplexing #difficulties have arisen and formidable obstacles have appeared. O Lord! Remove these difficulties and show forth the evidences of Thy might and power. Ease these hardships and smooth our way along this arduous path. …

Climate change in particular plays to our weaknesses.
Much has been written about our #difficulties in #perceiving #climate #change due in part to inconsistencies in the information we receive and also stemming from the well-studied tendency to “discount” events that are perceived to occur far in the future or in geographically distant places.

many #people in the #USA that are losing their #primarycare #doctors - for whatever reason - are having massive #difficulties getting new doctors and are unable to get needed #referalls for existing #appointments - so they are unable to see doctors they should be seeing or make needed appointments. People are falling through the cracks of a damaged #healthcare system that lacks #compassion or #sense
