Faced with a bleak financial situation, lawmakers turned to a little-known fund to help domestic violence survivors and pay for other priorities. But now that fund doesn’t have enough money to cover those commitments. 🔗 buff.ly/AlWr51J

New at FFP: 60 years ago, a filmmaker captured an Omaha pastor’s failed attempts to get his white church members to connect with nearby Black churches. The resulting film set off a firestorm. 🔗 buff.ly/rD9Hzvr
Worked great for that! Thanks!
I'm unclear whether or not upgrading to the paid version would unlock having the computer detect speakers for me.
The free version lets me manually go through and tag speakers, but there appears to be no "now extrapolate that" button?
still clicking refresh every 8 seconds... for months now. I'm on my 17th mouse. @nicknisi.com dysfunctional.fm/people/nick-...

Nick does? or his Agents, I suppose?
oh... Over on Mastodon a friend told me I can use github.com/openai/whisper for free by running it locally.
Oh. Oops? I cancelled my ChatGPT cause work pays for ... several?
But now a friend dumped me an audio file for transcription. And I don't have easy access to ChatGPT Whisper anymore?
Suggestions?
Aren't you actually neovim or something?
"My Omaha" made many references to this 1966 documentary. And interviewed that filmmaker. www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8Pw...
That 1966 documentary is not fucking around. No punches pulled. "My Omaha" is much softer in tone, even while much of the foundational content hasn't changed over those 59 years?

Was it @arthurdoler.com who cared about fast-switching between multiple accounts / timelines over on Mastodon? Looks like mastodon.online/@IceCubesApp has that built into iPadOS 26 now? It's not a feature I care about, but maybe some people do?

what's especially fun is I don't know which explosions we're talking about. There are so many to choose from. 🇺🇸
New at FFP: The prison in Tecumseh had long been a tinderbox when inmates started fires in their cells in 2023. This time, an inmate died. Months later, so did a deputy warden facing discipline. An investigation by the Flatwater Free Press and Lincoln Journal Star. 🔗 buff.ly/GlaKC78
