/ Audio transcription with listen

I was trying to use alphapapa's 'Listen' package, which was already installed, for audio transcription, but I struggled to find an intuitive way to skip forward or backward w/o leaving the working buffer. Also challenging was the fact that my keyboard only has a play/pause key.

But since 'listen' seemed to default to , I decided to use playerctl to control it, regardless of how it was launched. It's a command-line tool that works with MEPRIS players, and I could bind custom shortcuts in GNOME Shell to the play/pause key + a modifier.

@oatmeal subed.el has some keyboard shortcuts for controlling mpv, so that's another option

Unexpected bonus of working on learning how to solve the 2x2 cube blind: I can practise any time, anywhere, including when the kiddo borrows the only cube I have handy.

Starting to learn 2x2 blindfolded following J Perm's tutorial. Day 2: I'm slowly getting the hang of moving pieces and moving them back during a sighted solve and I can sometimes close my eyes for one or two pieces in a row. Let's see if I can get the hang of it and if I can keep my brain on-task that long...

@ramin_hal9001 For algs, I haven't found anything better than just doing the alg slowly and then speeding up as they enter muscle memory. For pattern recognition, the tutorials tell you what colours to look for (ex: look for two corners of the same colour on one of the sides, put them in the back, then do this alg).

I haven't been able to access git.sr.ht URLs for a while, so I finally got around to looking into it. I can access it from my phone if I turn off wifi. I still can't access it from my laptop if I disable the Pi-hole ad-blocker. I think Sourcehut's blocking a range of IPs that my Internet provider uses, which is inconvenient.
