I signed up for this newsletter of the Krishnamurti Foundation ... 365 days curated, synthesising quotes by J. Krishnamurti in my inbox. Today's quote is particularly "Note"worthy ;) An aspect that's hardly considered let alone understood: "As long as we are trying to achieve a psychological result, as long as we want inward security, there must be a contradiction in our lives. I do not think most of us are aware of this contradiction, or if we are, we do not see its real significance. On the contrary, contradiction gives us an impetus to live; the very element of friction makes us feel that we are alive. The effort, the struggle of contradiction, gives us a sense of vitality. That is why we love wars, that is why we enjoy the battle of frustrations. So long as there is the desire to achieve a result, which is the desire to be psychologically secure, there must be a contradiction; and where there is contradiction, there cannot be a quiet mind. Quietness of mind is essential to understand the whole significance of life." #krishnamurti #innerconflict #freedom

I tinkered with a free and open source keyboard setup on Android recently and by far the best option I found is 'HeliBoard' (on F-Droid). Amazing customization, looks great, and you can tweak auto-suggestions and corrections to your heart's desire. It also goes well alongside an app called 'Offline Speech Input' (on Playstore/Aurora) which gives you astonishingly accurate and fast speech transcription input system wide. Everything happens locally with this Parakeet TDT 0.6B v3 model. This setup doesn't only replace Gboard and Google voice input for privacy. I think it makes it miles better. Something to try ;) #foss #privacy #android #keyboard #speechtotext

What it takes to replace those sticky Google/Apple/Microsoft multi-device workspaces with privacy-focused, open source apps without giving up on convenience (for a single user on Android, Linux, Windows): - Contacts and Calendar: EteSync with Etar, Fossify Contacts, Thunderbird - Notes: Joplin - Tasks and project management: Super Productivity - Office Suite: OpenOffice, OnlyOffice, AndrOpen Office amd a portable SSD Have a read 😉👇🏼 View article →

Somehow I ended up in a mainstream cinema to watch "The Odyssey" ... and we left about half way into the movie! Plain and clear, in my view it's a disgraceful pile of garbage. I don't know the director.. But only a psychopath can turn a millennia old story about the timeless human journey from ego home to love into such a nonsensically violent nervous system wrecking shitshow. There is no beauty, there's no humaneness, there's no depth. The original story was told from mouth to mouth at human gatherings for thousands of years, because it touches the human soul and its earthly struggle at it's core. After this movie, nobody goes home to share anything with anyvbody. You come home dull and psychologically traumatized. You come home waiting for the government to provide for you, because you are depressed as heck believing you've been born into a genuinely evil, psychotic world and there's nothing you can do about it. I wonder why Matt Damon after seeing the movie didn't straightout slap the director in the face with an ancient Greek leather gauntlet asking if there was no dignity left in him. Folks, there's lots of work to be done. To bring the magic and beauty of life back into our human consciousness. #odyssey #herosjourney

One of my daily walks in the Lugano region 🇨🇭 Beautifully tropic here at times this year. I shot the video on a greyscaled, intense nightlight phone and later edited it on my Daylight computer. So, haven't seen it in color before posting ;) @primal @daylightco
