I haven't written an article in a long time. I am testing out a new blogging platform provided by Standard Notes (@proton.me no SN account?). Here’s a letter from my own experience to student developers.

Been working on Capski, #CLI tool that converts any audio/video into a fully styled MP4 with real-time, karaoke-style subtitles.

- Built in #Rust using #ffmpeg + #whisper-rs
- Translate non-English audio → English subs
- Fully customizable styles via JSON

A few years ago I wrote to Libby asking them to add an opt-in feature: take my CC# and every time I borrow a book, auto-donate whatever Amazon charges for it to my local library. They replied quickly but declined. Wish they would reconsider.
Alt text. This is pretty awful, but probably what has to be done to preserve the service at all.

IMLS still has a chance- please make sure to show support.

Today, I graduate with a bachelor of science in computer science. Now, it’s time to find a full-time software engineering job. Time to apply massively !!!

If anyone knows any opportunities for entry-level positions, let me know 😊

```cpp
#include

int main()
{
std::print("Hello ");
std::println("World!");
std::println();
}
```

Pretty cool C++23/26 update.

Hey y’all, I’d rather focus on sharing new features (like more pics per post) than posting about the GoFundMe every day—but this campaign is what will make Flashes for Android happen.

With 80K followers here, if even half gave $1, we’d hit the goal today.

I’ve been a beta tester since the beta launch. I’ve deleted my Instagram account and now am curated of all Meta services.

Give it a try and let your friends know.

Starting the day with a great book and a good cup of coffee is the best way to begin!

I listened to this audiobook through the Libby app. It’s a very good Japanese classic. I highly recommend the audiobook from Libby, as the narrator’s voice is very good for the story.

What an incredible book! Sash Sagan, the daughter of the late Carl Sagan, is a gifted writer and a skilled speaker. Listening to her audiobook, narrated by herself, made the story feel even more personal. I highly recommend it.
