Built a little web-cam controlled game for practicing german articles. Works best on wide screens. #learngerman #edtech

@ayumumentalist Wunderbar! Glad to hear that. Currently working on book #13 in the series. Hopefully ready soon.

@BarrenCode Hello! I've been learning German since January. One day ChatGPT recommended me one of your books "Café in Berlin" and I bought one. It shows me the importance of "building blocks while reading", which was a nice eye opener to me. Awesome book! Vielen dank 🫶

New blog post about the perils of using Arabic and Hebrew in Linux PDF annotations and a gloriously dirty fix: andreklein.net/the-end-boss-o… #rtl #linux #pdf #hebrew #arabic

Getting RTL (Hebrew, Arabic) annotations in PDF to render correctly on Linux is the end-boss of formatting. All PDF apps reverse the letters. My solution: a simple shell script (via hotkey) to reverse and replace clip-board contents. Such a dirty fix, yet so clean. #pdf #hebrew

Spent the day mucking about with the blazingly fast #nushell which (once you get accustomed to the syntax) makes for a suprisingly suckless terminal workflow on Windows, especially when combined with #starship and #zoxide.

📦Just shipped: epub-moe release 1.0.5 github.com/burninc0de/epu… #epub #mediaoverlays

Was pleasantly surprised to see today that BookFusion supports #epub media overlays (the account requirement on Android is a bit meh, but hey, in a world where support is still rare and few, I'll allow it.) Added to the list: smplu.link/2bcuS

It’s not an "app". It’s a void. github.com/burninc0de/hel… #tui #writing

As an indie-publisher of language learning materials, creating bullet-proof glossaries involves a lot of manual labor and tedious cross-refs. Just built a vocab "linter" or "pre-compiler" so I can get early hints about duplicates, lapsed entries, etc. Real game-changer. #indiepub

Too many brave agents ventured into my TUI and got trapped; forever lost to the void. So I wrote them a warning: github.com/burninc0de/hel… #hicsuntdracones #llm (let's hope they will listen)

Took an old laptop yesterday, set up clean arch install, onboarded #OpenClaw, gave it the keys to the kingdom (passwordless sudo) and told it to go nuts. The result: it hallucinated creating files, downloading pacman packages while disk stayed untouched. "it's so over", lmao

fun little tray app that lets me see at a glance exactly how fast Github Copilot is burning through premium requests: #copilot #llm #kde

"Windows Web Experience Pack" is peak corporate gaslighting. It’s like calling a tapeworm an "Internal Nutritional Management Consultant." Keep B-list celebs and "breaking news" off your system! The solution: powershell(admin) -> winget uninstall "Windows Web Experience Pack"

Compiling vocabulary glossaries for my language books and manually checking them for continuity is always a huge PITA. Currently working on an automated Vocabulary Analyzer that can spot these issues for me (regex for the win). #indiepub #languagelearning

Update: My side-project for shouting into the fragmented hellscape is now my daily driver. Features a mixed feed for Bsky/Mastodon and a noise filter for Masto. X is still there too, though their API treats requests like Leprechaun gold. Read: andreklein.net/socialsox/

In today's episode of making WSL suck less: stealing the excellent CachyOS fish config, specifically alias ls -> eza to get a bit of color into file listings. Notes here: andreklein.net/taming-wsl-int… #wsl #cachyos
