TY! I'll give that one another look. Can it export .fountain?

This is niche, but I really want a good FOSS screenwriting software that can rival Highland. There are some options like Trelby and others (because the Fountain syntax makes interchangeable screenplay files possible) but right now none of them are as good as Highland. A good alternative could let me finally leave Apple

Send is open source. I believe it's a fork of Firefox Send

Filmmakers skewer fascism with satire and tragic heroes. But what happens when audiences miss the point?

This is a good policy but it should only be available to people who make 34.5% of the median national wage or else people might abuse it

 

The week before the election, we go into fash forums and start posting our "Election Day Fits" and it's all just pics of people in head-to-toe Trump gear, trying to convince fash to wear all their Trump stuff to the polls.

Then, on Election Day, they get there and find that they're not allowed to enter the polling place bc they're wearing campaign gear.

Is this anything?

 

I have this weird plan to dissuade fascists from voting. It's totally legal and I kinda think it could work.

  1. we buy rolls of "I Voted" stickers off Amazon

  2. On Election Day, we go to polling places in swing states. Pick a district that's heavily fash, and with long lines.

  3. As people line up outside, go down the line and hand out the stickers. People in line get frustrated by the wait, but they figure "I already have the sticker. I can post on social. Good enough." They go home without voting.

  4. The fascists lose.

I don't think this is totally nuts. And as long as it's just a generic "I Voted" sticker it's totally legal. What do y'all think?

 

Impeachment proceedings against the French president passed their first round of parliamentary scrutiny Tuesday when the assembly's 22-person committee judged the procedure admissable, voting 12 to 10 in favour...

Macron can count on his centrist Ensemble (Together) coalition and the mainstream right Republicans to vote against...

The Socialists have also announced they will not vote to impeach Macron.

What gives?

 
 

I use an Android e-reader (the Likebook P6) and I'm so frustrated by the lack of a good read-it-later app. This chart lays out the shortcomings of current apps.

Pocket used to be good but they dropped support for page turning.

Does anyone have a good app for saving and reading articles on e-ink screens?

There's an Omnivore beta app that supports page turning (great!!) but... for some reason, I can't adjust the fonts on my tablet. (I have this issue with the official Ominvore app, too.) And the Omnivore app doesn't auto-download articles?!?! I have to be online to load each article when I open it, and only then can I go offline. Pocket and Wallabag don't work this way; they'll download all your articles at once and you can read them all later, even if offline.

Are there any other options???

 

New York has a great gallery scene, and every Thursday you can attend gallery openings. But finding out which galleries are hosting events can be a little archaic: The only sites that list openings are really old, and they don't offer any way to subscribe (say, via RSS).

You know what would be great? A Google Calendar that's updated with all the best art gallery openings. For starters, it could source from these sites:

Can someone make this *please *so I can subscribe to it?

 

There's a great newsletter called nonsense nyc that lists great, off beat events for the coming week.

But it's only available as a newsletter, which is kinda annoying. I'd love to have it as a Google Calendar.

I could manually take the events from nonsense and add each one to my calendar, but that's a chore. Does anyone know a good way to automate it?

 

I've just started using Brave on Linux (distro info at bottom) and I have a question about keyboard shortcuts & how the browser manages active windows, because it seems to be doing something different from my last browser.

I usually use Firefox, and I've set it up so that I can open a new tab with the Mail key on my keyboard. Pressing my Mail key executes this command, opening a new tab.

xdotool getactivewindow key ctrl+t

But now I've switched to Brave browser, and that command no longer works. When I've got Brave open and I press my Mail key, nothing happens.

I've tried alternate commands:

xdotool key ctrl+t

and

xdotool getwindowfocus key ctrl+t

but no result. Does anyone know how to fix? What is Brave doing with its browser tabs/windows?

Thank you!
