I mean.. nobody needs caps-lock. You can just upcase-word if needed.
I know some people map it to ESC but C-[ is ESC so ctrl is the better choice there.
Also I never use the Hungarian keyboard layout. I use the latin-2-alt-postfix input mode in emacs to enter Hungarian text. This makes Hungarian people unreasonably angry.
Also nobody needs icons or shortcuts while we're at it. Completing read is such a better solution. This also make people very angry.
i just discovered a new functionality with my computer. holding alt then scrolling will go through previous versions of the page, then scrolling the other way returns to the old ones. didnt mean to write this in the header of this post. anyway why is this a functionality who needs to go back 800x in 2 seconds??

gif tutorial
So like, a ridiculously long time ago (I don’t even wanna say when, I am so sorry dear nonnie that you had to wait this long for this) I got asked for a tutorial on how I make my gifs, including the clipping part, and FINALLY I got my act together and wrote it up, so here you go peeps.
What you will need:
KMPlayer (download link in the source link)
Some kind of Photoshop (I use CC but they work similarly)
Patience for Photoshop and understanding my flimsy way of explaining things and the Hungarian you’re about to witness
1.) Clipping
So once you have KMPlayer on your computer and have decided on what you want to gif and have the footage too (for that the best is to use 720p or better quality footage, I usually work with 1080p), we’re going to start with clipping. Open the footage in KMPlayer and go to around the time the scene is that you want to clip
Once you have that, press Alt+C, it should be an automatical shortcut but if it doesn’t work for you, it should be something like Right Click > Record > Record Video File... (the screenshot below is to give you an idea of around where to look for, I realize that the text won’t look the same since my is HungarianxD)
Tumblr media
Once you clicked that, this is what you should get:
Tumblr media
First step is clicking on the Folder button around the top and choosing which folder you want to save your clips to. Once you have that, click on “File crop” on the very top next to Capture. This is what you’re gonna get:
Tumblr media
There are a couple of things to do here. First of all, change the format from the original to mp4. This is really important, Photoshop only imports mp4 files in the way that I do them.
After that, go to the bottom where it says “Customize video and audio codecs (could cause erros).” and tick the little thing before it and then change the audio from AUTO to NONE.
So after all your panel should look like this:
Tumblr media
And now all you need to do it set the time for the beginning and the end of the clip, which you can do around the top with “Start Time” and “End Time” (as you can see, I already set a time in the previous picture as well). And then you just press Start down in the bottom right corner, and you have a nice, workable, pretty clip at your hands.
I personally usually make around one minute long clips, I can work best with those or anything shorter in Photoshop, but everyone has different preferences, so it’s up to you and what feels best for you to decide, this method really can make clips any kind of length.
2.) Giffing
Now you need to open Photoshop. I use CC, but this method works in any version of Photoshop, as far as I know. First you have to go File > Import > Frames to layers.
Tumblr media
You get the panel below:
Tumblr media
Make sure to have clicked things similarly as me (idk what those say in English exactly, sorry) and then at the bottom of the little player, there are those two black sliders. Anything you choose between those two will be the amount of footage that Photoshop will turn into frames, you just have to make sure it isn’t a too long clips, because Photoshop can only open 500 frames at the time, if you want to open more, it just cuts off after 500 frames. (It gives you a warning for that, don’t worry.)
Once you open the frames, you should see this in your Photoshop:
Tumblr media
You see the frames at the bottom? First delete any frames you don’t need from there and then highlight all the frames (step on the first frame, press shift, and then click on the last frame and everything will light up in between). Afterward click Alt+Ctrl+A and then Ctrl+G. Then you will get this:
Tumblr media
See the frames on the right window? They got all neatly packaged in a folder, which is exactly what we need. Then go to the frames on the bottom and click on one of the 0.04 or whatever number is set under the frames and then choose “other” or the equivalent of that option.
Tumblr media
This is when you set the time of the frames. I usually go with 0.05, which is probably the best rate, but you can play between 0.05 and 0.08, whatever you like best. Just time the amount in into the pop up panel and then click okay.
Now after this you need to go to the panel that has the bottom frames and on its right top corner there has to be a little arrow, click on that and then click convert to timeline.
Tumblr media
And this is how it should look afterward:
Tumblr media
Now you need to go into Layer > Intelligent object > Convert to intelligent object
Tumblr media
The folder you had on the side with all the frames in it turned into an intelligent object. Now comes cutting. You can cut it in any dimensions you want. There is a useful tool, though, to make it the same size:
Tumblr media
This tool on the side. Click on it, and then on the top toolbar you will have this:
Tumblr media
Left is horizontal, right is vertical size and you set whatever dimensions you want the gif to be (as you can see, mine is currently set for my usual gif size) and cut the intelligent object.
Now comes the sharpening. Open Filter > Sharpen > Intelligent sharpen
Tumblr media
And set the panels to the following settings:
Tumblr media
Click okay. Now go to the right panel where the intelligent object layer is and duplicate that. Just a simple right click and dumplicate layer on it. This is how it looks now:
Tumblr media
And now while you’re standing on the top layer, open Filter > Blur > Gauss blur
Tumblr media
And set the panel for the following settings:
Tumblr media
After clicking okay, go to the panel on the side where the layers are visible again. 
Tumblr media
Next to the Gauss blur little line, on the right click on those double arrows, set the opacity to 85% and then click okay.
Tumblr media
And then standing on the entire layer set the opacity of the layer on 50%.
Tumblr media
All we gotta do now is resize the gif. Click Image > Size
Tumblr media
And then set whatever size you want for your gifs. And you’re done. All you need now is to put any psd you want on it or use your own coloring, which I’m not good at so I’m using this as the base psd and adjusting it when I need to.
And once you have all the coloring done, you need to click File > Save for web (don’t just simply save or save as, those will not work), and then set your panel to the following setting:

Free download LayerSlider Responsive WordPress Slider Plugin V6.5.7
New Post has been published on https://superhotthemes.com/free-download-layerslider-responsive-wordpress-slider-plugin-v6-5-7/
Free download LayerSlider Responsive WordPress Slider Plugin V6.5.7
LayerSlider Responsive WordPress Slider Plugin V6.5.7
LayerSlider is a premium multi-purpose animation platform. Slideshows & image galleries with mind-blowing effects, gorgeously animated landing pages & page blocks, or even a full website can be created using LayerSlider. Every website can benefit from the capabilities of this plugin.
The drag and drop visual editor makes it really easy for everyone to get started using LayerSlider. No coding or technical skills required. The ever growing selection of importable templates are an ideal starting point for new projects and they cover every common use case from personal to corporate business. They are carefully crafted, aesthetically pleasing and can be easily customize to fit for any needs.
Great support and frequent updates ensure to make the most out of your purchase.
Changes in LayerSlider 6.5.7
This update fixes a PHP debug message displayed when your site has the WP debug mode enabled.
Changes in LayerSlider 6.5.6
Changes of media layers: Autoplaying videos will no longer display the play icon for that brief moment, making background videos and in other cases a perfectly smooth video surface. You now have the option to set the volume of background videos. They are muted by default and there was no way to change that previously. The ‘Controls’ and ‘Show Info’ media layer settings now include an ‘Auto’ option. It is based on the most common use cases and respects settings set by the embed code or HTML attributes. The ‘Controls’ option for media layers was not working as expected in some cases. For example, you can now enable controls for audio layers as well. Media layers are now properly pause and resume playback (based on your settings) when closing/re-opening a Popup slider. Changes in the WPML implementation: When setting up the ‘Dynamic content from posts’ feature, the Post Options screen now shows only the posts belonging to the currently selected language set by WPML. Duplicate entries created as a translation will be filtered out and can be reached by choosing the corresponding language from the WPML menu on the top admin bar. The ‘Dynamic content from posts’ feature now lets WPML to generate the post permalink on its own. This ensures to always have the appropriate URL based on your WordPress and WPML settings. Fixed an issue that could make layers unselectable in the Slider Builder when you used ‘class’ as a custom layer attribute. Fixed an issue that caused Google to index the ‘static’ plugin folder causing unwanted search results. Fixed the OS native fullscreen mode in Firefox. Fixed previewing the Origami transition in the Slider Builder. Fixed an issue in the Dynamic content feature that could break the Slider Builder interface in very rare cases. Increased compatibility by workarounding certain issues in 3rd party plugins and themes. General fixes and improvements under the hood.
Changes in LayerSlider 6.5.5
This update brings smart editing features to the Slider Builder among many other important bug fixes and improvements.
New features Edit in Multiple Selection Mode is here. You can now apply any setting to all selected layers at once. Finding the perfect Font family and Font size is easier than ever. Just hover over the list items and quickly see a real-time preview in the Preview Area. New documented API method: resetSlide. Improvements Improved compatibility with WPML: layer edits no longer show up as new entries in WPML’s String Translation module, instead they are marked as ‘Translation needs update’. Due to backwards compatibility, this new implementation of WPML will only be used in newly created sliders. We’ve also updated the Multilingual Sliders section of this documentation. Multi-selecting layers is now also available in the layers list area (below the preview) by holding the Ctrl/Cmd key and clicking on layers. Added range-select support for the layers list area by holding down the Shift key when selecting layers. You can now also multi-select layers in the right click “overlapping layers” menu by holding the Ctrl/Cmd key and clicking on items. Multiple-selection is now easily dismissible just by clicking on the desired layer again. The whole Preview Area has been made much more fluid, changes are now appearing without delay. The Undo Manager now restores layer selection as well. The System Status now checks for database related issues and an Update Database button has been added for fixing potential issues whenever it’s possible. Bug fixes Fixed a PHP error that effected saving sliders in some cases. Fixed an issue that prevented using multiple LayerSlider plugins (Origami, Popup, etc.) at the same time. Fixed an issue that in some very rare cases caused your sliders to not show up properly. Fixed some rare issues in Undo Manager. System Status now correctly shows Install Location on Windows servers.
Changes in LayerSlider 6.5.1
Fixed a PHP error that might caused HTTP 500 Internal Server Error in some cases with older versions of PHP.
Changes in LayerSlider 6.5.0 Introducing our new premium feature: Popups.
Popups is a completely new way of using LayerSlider and it greatly extends its capabilities and what you can build with the plugin. Combining our strong foundation and the vast number of features we already have with the newly introduced Popup feature makes LayerSlider one of the best choice among popup plugins. Click here for more information and live examples. Thanks to conseillerphytoaroma, the French localization has been updated to cover areas that weren’t translated before. Added new skin: Photo Gallery Added “Change URL hash” advanced option to Slider Settings -> Slideshow. Enable it to update the URL hash as you navigate in the slider based on slide deeplinks. This makes it possible to share URLs that will start the slider with the currently visible slide at any given moment. Added “Prefer Blend Mode” advanced option to Slider Settings -> Misc. Enable this option to avoid blend mode issues with slide transitions. Due to technical limitations, this will also clip your slide transitions regardless of your settings. Greatly enhanced the Global Hover feature introduced in the previous release. The admin UI now uses deeplinking to always open at the same location when you refresh the page. Fixed overflowing issue and improved multiple selection in the new WP text editor “Add LayerSlider” plugin.
Changes in LayerSlider 6.4.0
Bonjour! Thanks to conseillerphytoaroma, LayerSlider is now fully translated into French. Sziasztok! We’ve also added an experimental Hungarian localization in this release. Psst! More languages are on their way! Internationalization in LayerSlider underwent a major overhaul to provide high quality localizations and make translators’ life much easier. The English locale has also been updated. Instead of using typewriter characters, we now have nicely formatted punctuation with curly quotes and apostrophes. Added new Google Fonts script subsets: Arabic, Bengali, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Hebrew, Kannada, Malayalam, Myanmar, Oriya, Sinhala, Tamil, Telugu and Thai. Welcome, newcomers! 🙂 In cooperation with WPBakery, this update introduce changes to improve compatibility & integration with future versions of Visual Composer. Developers should check our updated Filters reference in the Developer documentation. Added “Important Notice” feature. In cases of important and urgent matters, we can now display a small banner on the admin dashboard to notify everyone. These might be security issues or other justifiable cases. Hopefully, you will never see any of them. 🙂 Entirely new WordPress text editor plugin to insert sliders into your posts and pages. Besides its drastically improved user interface, it also supports keyboard shortcuts, multiple selections and embed options. Added a new premium feature: Global Hover. Create spectacular effects by triggering the Hover Transitions of all layers at once when you hover over the slider with your mouse cursor. A simple example demonstrating this can be found here. Added “Start immediately” option to the Play by Scroll feature. Now it’s possible to automatically start playback and only pause sliders at the first keyframe instead of waiting users to scroll down. Added option to override the starting slide of sliders in the shortcode and widget settings. Added letter spacing option to layer styles so you can change the character density in a line or block of text. Improvements Enabled word wrapping in CodeMirror code editors. The System Status now has better recommendations with providing the ideal values of each setting. While LayerSlider continues to require PHP 5.3.0 or newer, on the global scope it no longer uses language features that is not available in PHP 5.2.4. This ensures better overall compatibility with WordPress on pages where LayerSlider is no being actively used. Updated documentation to fix page jumping issues when deeplinking. Bug fixes Implemented a potential fix for CloudFlare’s Rocket Loader issues. Fixed the image chooser button when using the “Insert image from URL” option. Fixed an isssue that prevented displaying the slider actions popup in some rare cases in the List View. Prevent slider selection (colored highlight) when switching into full screen mode by doubling clicking on the slider. Fixed certain issues with the Outline, Numbers and Rounded Flat skins. Fixed Blend mode with the Origami transition. Fixed alt attributes on the slide thumbnail images. Fixed an issue with the sliderDidRemove event. Fixed a rare issue with the opacity option of the Hover Transition. Countless other bug fixes and improvements throughout the plugin.
Changes is LayerSlider 6.3.0
Introducing a new premium feature: Revisions. Have a peace of mind knowing that your slider edits are always safe and you can revert back unwanted changes or faulty saves at any time. This feature serves not just as a backup solution, but a complete version control system where you can visually compare the changes you have made along the way.
Additional changes: Improved compatibility with *really old* and outdated slider versions. Fixed rare issues when copy-pasting layers across slides and sliders. Improved Auto-fit option in Slider Builder.
Changes is LayerSlider 6.2.2
This update fixes an API issue introduced in the previous release.
Changes is LayerSlider 6.2.1
This update contains important security fixes. We strongly encourage everyone to install it as soon as possible. [Thanks to WpHutte – wphutte.com for reporting.]
New features Added option to choose whether the slide link should be on top or underneath layers. The Template Store can now import slider packs. Stay tuned, they’re arriving soon! The System Status now checks the install location of LayerSlider and warns you about potential issues (if any). Added slide deeplink names to the LayerSlider API. Improvements Lots of improvements in importing sliders. The premium features notification now lists the exact premium features being used in sliders. Bug fixes Important security fixes. Fixed slide linking that has accidentally been broken by our previous update. Fixed an issue in IE11, which caused the browser to jump to the top of the page after slide change in some cases. Fixed video overlay image position preview on the admin interface.
Changes in LayerSlider 6.2.0
New features Introducing a new premium feature: Blend modes. Blend modes are an easy way to add eye-catching effects and is one of the most frequently used features in graphic and print design. The admin UI now warns against potential issues when selecting certain options, which are commonly misunderstood and would result unexpected behavior. Added OSD notifications for certain keyboard shortcuts (e.g. Ctrl/Cmd + S for saving the slider) and a corresponding setting under Screen Options to enable/disable this feature. Added layerslider_root_url filter to override paths. Check the Developer Documentation for more information.
Improvements Improved compatibility with older sliders. Improved handling of font variants when importing Google Fonts from templates. Certain number input fields are now stepping in more appropriate intervals when pressing the arrow buttons. Updated and extended some parts of the documentation.
Bug fixes A massive update for multimedia layers: Fixed video size and positioning issues, which was present in rare edge cases. Fixed occasional playback issues with videos being on the first slide. Fixed the slideshow not progressing forward in cases when there was only one video layer on the slide. Hiding a media layer with the Device support feature will now also disable media playback on the corresponding devices. In addition, background videos will also show the video poster image as a fallback. This enhances user experience on mobile devices that has limited playback capabilities due to OS/browser restrictions. Various minor bug fixes and improvements. Fixed image chooser when using the “Use post image” option. Fixed the “Use post URL” option in linking fields. Fixed the Slider Settings -> Appearance -> Global background image option to always use the appropriate URL. Fixed the “Use GreenSock (GSAP) sandboxing” option not always taking effect. Fixed an issue that could empty your Google Fonts collection when reinstalling the plugin. Fixed a rare issue that affected users trying to change settings in the Advanced Settings section without having sliders. Fixed issues caused by applying text transitions on non-text layers General UI and under the hood improvements and bug fixes

Do you know what a foreign accent is? It’s a sign of bravery.
Amy Chua
never be afraid to speak in front of natives because of your accent! it’s a part of language learning and you can not avoid it; it’s a sign of hard work and effort! :)

life updates (en français)
Tumblr media
salut! j'espère que vous avez beaucoup de santé et les bons temps avec vos amis ou votre famille que nous n’avions pas avant le coronavirus. il est très stressé, parce que je dois étudier pour beaucoup des examens mais je n’ai pas mes profs pour apprendre le cours! mais, ce n’est pas trop mal, parce que mes profs font les classes en ligne. je faisais beaucoup des listes pour faire quelque chose, mais c’est très difficile parce que je veux just rester dans mon lit et voir les vidéos sur youtube haha… mais, hier, j’ai fait un grand decision: je ferai une liste et je ferai toutes les choses sur ce liste. 
voici la liste: 
12h00: se réveiller (oui, je pense que je me réveille très tard...mais c’est ok parce que je ne peux pas aller à l'école), faire le petit-déjeuner (les oeufs, la salade avec des tomates, épinard, et concombres, le thé vert)
13h00: pratiquer le violon
14h00: fait les devoirs pour l’histoire americain 
15h00: fait le déjeuner (le pain avec l'humus et les tomates, et une petite orange)
16h00: attendre la classe en ligne pour l’histoire américain
17h00: faire des exercices
18h00: rester, faire la douche
19h00: faire le dîner (le pasta et chou hongroise), rester
20h00: r e s t e r 
21h00: brosser les dents, préparer mon peau, planner le jour prochain
Je suis très heureuse parce que j’ai fini toutes les choses sur la liste! Et, j’ai découvert un très boisson magnifique: l’eau citron! c’est juste l’eau gazeuse et un peu de citron pressé, et je ne sais pas pourquoi, mais c’est mon boisson favorite maintenant. C’est aussi très bon pour la santé!
Alors, c'était mon “entrée de journal” pour aujourd’hui. maintenant, il est 2:05 - après le minuit - et je meurssss haha j’aurai beaucoup de choses a faire quand je me réveille.
NOTE: PLEASE CORRECT ANY MISTAKES!!! i know i made them lol, thanks in advance!

language learning tips
some of my tips for you guys that i picked up while language-learning!!
Tumblr media
✄ if you are learning more than one language and you are more proficient in one than the other, you can translate to that language when you are writing vocabulary and such in the language in which you are less proficient!
✄ try not to base your language-learning only off a textbook- you learn better through engaging in real life situations such as talking, listening to music, watching tv
shows / movies, listening to podcasts, etc. in your target language! it’s much better for you to do that rather than reading a textbook, which is a very passive activity.
✄ engage with the culture! languages really intertwine with the culture they are associated with! learn cultural vocabulary, slang, etc.; you’ll find it easier to engage with people like that!
✄ if you have reached this level, try to think in your target language! it seems a little hard at first , but once you start, you’ll be surprised at how much you know! it also tell you what you need to work on. this can be paired with watching movies, listening to podcasts, music, etc. in your target language so that your brain is always switched to [target language] mode :)
✄ if you aren’t quite at the level mentioned above, try to do the same except talk to yourself! ik it sounds weird, but it help with pronunciation and helps you know what vocabulary words you should practice!
✄ try to integrate it into your daily life as much as possible. i’m not talking about taking 30 minutes to hyper-study, but try to make language-learning a PART of your life. for example, if you are learning german, follow german people/influencers on instagram or subscribe to youtubers who speak german. what i’m trying to say is, try to surround yourself with your target language as much as possible apart from just studying. 
✄ find the language learning method that works best for you! if you find yourself unable to learn or retain information from a formal textbook, try something else! there is no right way to learn languages. some people just learn by watching tv shows, others learn by trying to speak with natives. 
✄ go at your own pace. don’t go too fast, or else it will be stressful and you won’t learn anything. don’t go too slow, either! if you don’t learn something often enough, you will fall behind or forget what you’ve already learned. find the pace that’s best for you and work with that.
✄ be patient.language learning takes time and it is often pretty tedious. if you ever feel discouraged, don’t, because you have worked very hard so far and even though there may still be a long way to go, it will be very rewarding in the end. 
✄ make sure to have fun!! even though it is a real and serious subject, it is something to enjoy!
hope you liked those tips!! have lots of fun learning languages and work hard! :))

Any time you think some other language is strange, remember that yours is just as strange, you’re just used to it.

every language is beautiful in its own way! i think there is a lot of discrimination against languages that sound “strange” from non-language learners, and i think that speaks to the ignorance of the beautiful diversity of sounds and tones in each language. i think if all languages sounded normal, there wouldn’t be as much fascination with language learning. one of the main reasons i am learning languages is because i adore the unique sounds and individuality of each language.

this may seem like a stretch, but getting into kpop and kdramas and stuff almost accidentally made me learn the korean alphabet!!
Tumblr media
IMMERSION IS KEY!!! i could not have done this if i didn't completely immerse and surround myself with the korean language and culture! i watched a ton of videos, listened to music, and i just let the korean wash over me until it felt normal. this might take a while for some people, but for those who are similar to me and grew up in a multiligual household will find that it is not very difficult to flip this switch on in our brains.
i avoided learning the alphabet through rote memorization and flashcards and such. i jumped right into trying to read the letters that i am familiar with and using context clues from videos/audio to figure out which letter makes which sound. this way is the most natural way to learn korean, since it is learning it directly like it is a "first language experience." it might be hard at first, but i found myself being more and more successful as i tried to read the characters without having another language to fall back on.
try to write words you know right away! don't use the romanized version because then you will have something to fall back on and you will find that you will depend on it! basically, try to rid yourself of ANYTHING that you might depend on, because it will keep you from having a firsthand experience.
