I recently learned about abogen and audiblez and what I want to do is blog to adiobook but I'm still stuck in getting the book from the blog.

I'm now thinking maybe c/linux would have been a better place to ask since I'm not trying to program anything. Let me know if I should move it there.

    Honestly, I believe that, except for Russians or anyone whose language isn’t derived from Latin, using a US keyboard for programming is best, because you won’t be missing many keys. Maybe the French will miss the ç, but you can learn the Unicode just like I did with the em dash and quotation marks:

    • Em Dash (—): U+2014
    • En Dash (–): U+2013

    Quotation marks:

    • Left double quote (“): U+201C
    • Right double quote (”): U+201D
    • Left single quote (‘): U+2018
    • Right single quote (’): U+2019

    I'm looking for a way to generate a single Markdown (.md) file that includes all the file names, function definitions, and docstrings from my Python files. Ideally, this should traverse a directory recursively while respecting the .gitignore rules.

    Does anyone know of a package that accomplishes this?

     

    I have a list of communities, each with total votes, upvote percentage, and the community name. I want to sort the list by 'engagement,' which would be some combination of total votes and upvote percentage. What is the best way to do this? What would be the best measure of 'engagement' with each community given this data?

     

    Hi everyone,

    I’m trying to write a Python script to fetch all the communities a specific Lemmy user is subscribed to, with one community per line.

    I’ve seen examples using raw requests (like this post), but I’d like to do it using Pythorhead instead.

    Has anyone done this before or can provide a simple example of how to list a user’s subscriptions using Pythorhead?

    Similarly, I'd also like to get the list of communities that the user has blocked.

    Thanks!

     

    I'm looking for federated Q&A forums specifically focused on Linux and software-related issues. I'm not referring to platforms like NodeBB, Discourse, Lemmy, Kbin, PieFed, etc. I'm asking for specific instances that focus on Q&A about Linux and other software related issues. I know of some popular non-federated platforms like Stack Exchange, AskUbuntu, Arch Linux Forum, etc. But I'm particularly interested in federated sites.

    If you have any recommendations for such forums, please share them! Thank you!

    I may have my mind made up, but I could change it if people said something more easily verified, like the kind of police brutality that happens in US, instead of people disappearing like the chinese has ufos contracted, that just sounds like conspiracy theories made up by the americans.

    And of course you send me the article from a paper that's the mouthpiece of some US billionaire. Would you take it seriously if a chinese paper said the US 'secret police' is disappearing people? They are going to paint the worse possible picture since they are rivals.

    I've often heard that China is authoritarian, particularly due to events like the suppression of student protests in Hong Kong. However, I'm curious about more recent examples. Conversely, I've been hearing about the UK's Online Safety Act being used to target Wikipedia editors and silence protests, which raises questions about authoritarian tendencies there as well. What specific examples do you have that demonstrate whether these countries are authoritarian or not?

     

    For example, I know that sites like duck.ai let you use LLMs for free, but they limit input to 16,000 characters, so you can't actually leverage models like Llama 4 Scout, which supposedly has a 10 million token context window. Are there any platforms or tools (preferably without a paywall or input cap) where I could use models with context windows in the millions, as advertised? Or are all the free tools similarly restricted by much smaller limits?
