I think it's really cool that Black American Sign Language is in some ways more conservative than the kind of #ASL you learn at Gallaudet University.
Other ASL varieties use a lot of handshapes influenced by English spelling. But black ASL has kept more of the original handshapes, because black #deaf schools didn't get hit so hard by the oralist reformers who made war on ASL.
You can see BASL in action at csdhh.org/black-asl
If you'd like to see how ASL has changed over time, here's an excerpt from "The Preservation of Sign Language", a historic speech given in 1913 by George W. Veditz, the president of the National Association of the Deaf president in response to the oralist movement.

BTW, I am neither deaf nor American. If anyone can point me to accounts that educate people about ASL or deaf culture here on Fedi, I would be grateful. This is something I miss from Twitter.
Also, apologies for not being able to supply a reference to back up what I said about BASL. It is common knowledge among ASL researchers and they were the ones who told me.

Hey, folks.
I love using Libre Office and have been for years. I write all my books with it. I believe you're leagues better than the MS version.
So why, oh why has Writer lost the ability to remember the last cursor position?
It's beyond annoying, especially when editing a 250 page document. This is one of the most important functions, to be able to continue where you stopped - why is it even broken?
Why has it been broken for so long?

Shortly after Twitter launched its huge increase in max character count to 4,000 today, many users aren’t able to tweet this afternoon. It’s unclear for now if the two are related but the timing comes right after a notable spike in long tweets.Michael Potuck (9to5mac)

New W3C Community Group proposed for Service Discovery on the Web: w3.org/community/blog/2023/02/…
The intention is to expose DNS SRV records and mDNS along with other mechanisms (like .well-known) to web apps via a unified API.
This will allow things like WebMail clients to find mail servers based on email address or a @matrix client to find a homeserver based on a MatrixID. It can also allow web apps to find devices on local networks.
If you're interested, please support and join the CG!
