I released the 1.0 version of StoryAlign. The tool overlays an audiobook onto an ebook to create a narrated (read-aloud) ebook. If you like switching between reading & listening, and you avoid drm #books, you'll like this tool.
This update adds a granularity option, many fixes, and moves the repo to Codeberg.
It's at: <https://codeberg.org/richwaters/StoryAlign>.

Baldur BjarnasonSpending the holidays processing just how betrayed I feel by the software and web industry
Basically my career has been fifteen years of hope and promise—some fulfilled, some not—followed by a decade where the industry dropped all pretence and switched to just overtly looting, manipulating, and gouging.
Being a bit angry about it is probably quite reasonable
RozzychanToday's environmental GOOD NEWS!
The hole in the ozone layer closed on December 1
The ozone layer is a layer of the atmosphere that protects us from UV light. Years ago, it was noticed that chlorofluorocarbons in aerosol sprays were aiding in the depletion of the ozone layer, and a hole was detected in this protective layer. After years of regulation and work, the hole is closed.

Jennifer Hamilton, MD PhDI don't wear a mask at home or when I'm outdoors, but I do mask up at work. Yesterday a patient I hadn't seen in years sighed "Covid, AGAIN?" I answered that I never stopped masking.
Now that we know how much masks (esp KN94/N95) reduce respiratory illness, why wouldn't you want your doc to wear a mask to see you? Odds are, I saw someone with a sore throat sometime in the last day or two. I don't want covid, or the flu, or a cold -- and I don't want to give any of those illnesses to you.
Charles Gaba🚨 UPDATED: With final/approved 2026 premiums now known for all states on the first day of #ACA Open Enrollment, here's how much benchmark plan premiums will increase for typical households in #TENNESSEE:
How much more will ~609,000 TENNESSEE residents pay if the improved #ACA subsidies expire? (updated)
Originally posted 1/07/25 Tennessee has around ~642,000 residents enrolled in ACA exchange plans, 95% of whom are currently subsidized. I estimate they also have another ~9,000 unsubsidized off-exchange enrollees. Combined, that's ~652,000 people, although assuming the national average 6.6% net enrollment attrition rate applies, current enrollment would be back down to more like 609,000 statewide. In early 2021, Congressional Democrats & President Biden passed the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), which dramatically expanded & enhanced the original premium subsidy formula of the Affordable Care Act, finally bringing the financial aid sliding income scale up to the level it should have been in the first place over a decade earlier. They then extended the subsidy upgrade out by another 3 years via the Inflation Reduction Act. In addition to beefing up the subsidies along the entire 100 - 400% Federal Poverty Level (FPL) income scale, the upgrade eliminated the much-maligned "Subsidy Cliff" at 400% FPL, wherein a household earning even $1 more than that had all premium subsidies cut off immediately, requiring middle-class families to pay full price for individual market health insurance policies.
