#m4a
One of the car stereos I use has the strangest bug: Any #m4a file over 4:30 (4 minutes, 30 seconds) will skip for a second at 4:30, play for another 30 seconds or so, then just go onto the next track. Music from #iTunes or things from YouTube make no difference. Simply copying from .m4a to .aac with #ffmpeg avoids this issue. #digipres #aac
Now that I've got the #IPFS #hosting dialed in, I'm going to (re-)publish some other #browser #demos:
**MP4 Terminal**: An experimental meta tag editor for .m4a audio files with a nerdy amber #CRT #terminal style interface
I built it in 2023 to explore the #FileSystemAccessAPI which unfortunately still is #chromium-only. Still happy with the user interface though ;-)
in case anyone is interested to control my Ridge

As GOP is on course to gut Medicaid at the federal level, initiatives like Whole Washington working on legislating universal healthcare at the state level are even more important. Whole Washington is running a pretty efficient campaign and already has good support in WA legislature in both the Senate and the House.

Raven's 10 Policy Platform for Good Governance in 2025, Independent of the Country:
1. Every citizen and documented immigrant should be guaranteed and be able to expect the government to do it's best to represent their needs and best interests as best as it possibly can to enable to maximum health, fulfillment, and enjoyment in life.
2. Universal Single Payer Healthcare, free at the point of service for all citizens and documented immigrants, and a buy in option for undocumented immigrants and visitors. (Basically Bernie Sander's Medicare For All Proposal)
3. Housing For All, make it free for all citizens and documented immigrants, and a right for them. Undocumented immigrants and visitors would need to pay for housing or seek temporary residence shelter status. (Closest to Cuba's housing model)
4. Free Public Transportation, free for all citizens and documented immigrants, undocumented immigrants and visitors can buy in, privatized and privatization of public transportation would be illegal.
5. Disabled Inclusion and Equity, Disabled citizens and documented immigrants have a right to self determination and independence so long as a group of 10 physicians and judge via a court ruling or criminal trial waiver as a result of insanity determine otherwise. Treatment of disabilities must be inline with best efforts and good faith to both improve the quality of the disabled citizen or documented immigrant's life and their health. Disabled citizens and documented immigrants who cannot provide the means of living for themselves will be cared for.
6. LGBTQ Rights, any number of people who can and do consent to a sexual, romantic, and/or marriage based relationship should have the right to do so and all the same amenities and legal affordances that any monogamous cisgendered heterosexual couple would have.
7. Free Universal Education, all education is free for citizens and documented immigrants: free tuition, free learning materials, free textbooks, and free basic needs. When you are a full time student, your job should be to learn. Getting into college and higher education is enough. This would ban the employment of students in full time attendance to any educational institution. Undocumented immigrants by being accepted to a specialty lower education institution or a higher educational institution of any type should be granted documentation and legal residency. Programs should be made to entice these immigrants to become citizens and stay after receiving their education.
8. Birth Right Citizenship, if you are born within a nation's borders, you should be entitled to citizenship of that nation.
9. Citizenship By Heritage, one ancestor of pure heritage or of citizenship of the land in the last 5 generations Can be done with birth records, adoption paperwork, or reputable DNA testing results.
10. Citizenship By Immigration & Assimilation, documented immigrants should be encouraged to assimilate, this should be done through free language courses and certifications and free culture courses and certifications. The formation of ethnic enclaves by immigrants should be fiercely discouraged, but families and friends must never be separated to achieve this goal. Voluntary sublimation of the immigrant population into the predominant and preexisting culture is the ultimate goal. Prospective immigrants without a criminal records and/or who are dodging the draft or oppression of any enemy nation and/or who are the victims of genocide(s) abroad, must be prioritized. Prospective immigrants personal finances should not matter in the immigration process. Becoming a documented immigrant should be simple and sensible and follow these guidelines.
Just know that if you donate and you allow it to send you updates it will email you Bible verses from time to time. I am not a fan of that part, but at least they let people raise money for this man’s legal defense unlike GoFundMe.

I support the idea of #M4A #MedicareForAll #AmeriCare Mastodon server. (Alas, I'm not qualified to help 
) I've suggested a progressive populist FDR-Dem server, but no traction there.
Copied from a Facebook friend's page:
#Medicare4All #M4A #HealthcareIsAHumanRight
#Bernie #BernieSanders
Not to mention your call for switching to "EITHER single-payer OR #M4A" which are THE SAME THING, unless you're defining M4A in some other way than its come to be understood by most people.
A call to action in #wapol!
There's now a universal healthcare bill in the house https://app.leg.wa.gov/pbc/bill/1445. It's part of a greater effort to make it happen either legislatively or through a ballot. The bill currently needs co-sponsors, which is where you can help.
1. Go to the bill page (link above).
1a. (optional) Read the bill :-) (it's good!)
2. Look up your reps by address.
3. Comment to your reps asking to cosponsor the bill.
Deadline is 2pm tomorrow.
LOL... People actually think #trump can wave a magic wand and bring back #tiktok . Like they thought he was going to build the wall. Like people thought #berniesanders could wave a magic wand and make #m4a happen.
Improved Medicare for All Can Heal This Sick Country
A system that collects money from patients and employers then profits by withholding the promised care is not a business but a fraudulent, diabolical scam.
"Medicare Advantage… CMMI issues waivers to private plans exempting them from fraud and abuse laws… allowing kickbacks, self-referral, and illegal benefit inducement."

That research, its follow up (see: https://toad.social/@grumpybozo/113749007422037129,) and other similar analyses in the past all seem to me to concur that the savings from a #M4A system would be similar in magnitude to the aggregate compensation of the highest-paid 100 US healthcare/health insurance/PBM/Pharma executives.
The researchers do not explicitly make such a cost comparison. It just seems relevant to me… https://mastodon.social/@QasimRashid/113743404459770963
