Typing Amharic on Linux? Here's My Fix! 💻🇪🇹

I love Linux and wanted to switch from Windows, but the Amharic character mapping on Windows 10 & 11 is way better! 🤔 That made me hesitate about the move.

After some digging, I found out you can create your own custom character mapping on Linux using IBus and the ibus-m17n library. 🎉 The mapping goes into a .mim file, and you can enable it through ibus-setup or IBus preferences.

So, I made my own Windows-like key mapping in a .mim file, and guess what? It worked perfectly! 😎 I’ve shared everything in this repo here
https://github.com/zeal-nerd/am-geez with clear instructions for anyone to follow. Give it a try, and feel free to DM me with feedback or the distros you've tested it on! 🚀

Software Design by Example

The best way to learn design in any field is to study examples, and the most approachable examples are ones that readers are already familiar with. These lessons therefore build small versions of tools that programmers use every day to show how experienced software designers think. Along the way, they introduce some fundamental ideas in computer science that many self-taught programmers haven’t encountered. We hope these lessons will help you design better software yourself, and that if you know how programming tools work, you’ll be more likely to use them and better able to use them well.

The conductor can lead the most powerful orchestra in the world, but does not make a sound. His or her only power is in getting the players to produce the beautiful sound they are capable of.

Don’t focus on being the best in the world. Focus on being the best FOR the world.

You don’t need to play the measurement game. You can play the possibility game.

You can live in The Possibility World.

Instead of focusing on how you measure up, focus on how you contribute to the world around you. Contribution is not measured based on other people. It’s only measured based on what you put into the world around you. That’s it. If you add something, you contributed.

Assignment for yourself: write down all the ways in which you have been a contribution to the world around you in the last week. There is no space for your failures or missteps. You only get to list how you contributed in a positive way.

A leader who feels he is superior is likely to suppress the visions of the very people he needs to rely on to succeed.
