Ray Bradbury. Bradbury is captured in mid-speech or thought, leaning slightly forward toward what appears to be a microphone. The strong side-light highlights his aquiline nose, high cheekbone, and neatly combed hair, while his trademark horn-rimmed glasses rest firmly on his face. He wears a dark jacket and collared shirt; the lapel and collar peek out just enough to suggest formal, mid-century attire. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Ray_Bradbury#/media/File:Ray_Douglas_Bradbury.jpg

75 Years Ago, The Martian Chronicles Legitimized Science Fiction

“I recall Midwestern summer nights, standing on my grandparents’ hushed lawn,” Ray Bradbury told me in 2010, “and looking up at the sky at the confetti field of stars. There were millions of suns o…

I knew that landmark tags have implicit role, as stated by mdn, am I missing something?

"The <header> element has an identical meaning to the site-wide banner landmark role"

developer.mozilla.org/en-US/do…


: The Header element - HTML: HyperText Markup Language | MDN

The
HTML element represents introductory content, typically a group of introductory or navigational aids. It may contain some heading elements but also a logo, a search form, an author name, and other elements.

If you join the GNOME GitLab instance and you want to create or fork a project, you'll see an error that says:
"Limit has been reached You cannot create projects in your personal namespace. Contact your GitLab administrator."

Turns out, you have to add an SSH key to make it work.

I can't create or fork any projects (free account)

yes, you are correct. It is happening on gitlab.gnome.org but not on gitlab.com (I can create a project there) thank you for the clue, I will ask on the gnome forum. Much appreciated!

For any folks still out there using the #Rockbox firmware, I recently discovered the Hifi Walker H2 which is both officially supported, and more importantly, still being manufactured and sold. Flashing takes a bit of patience if you're #blind, but it can be done.

For all of you radio hobbyists /geeks, listen up! Yeah, I'm talking to you! So lately I've been messing with this thing called FM DX Webserver. It is actually a website of list of servers you can connect to and listen to mostly FM radio, yes, analog FM radio. It is not a webSDR receiver, although it is like one in a nutshell. It also has RDS support. It's based off of an open source project on GitHub. You can host a server remotely than anybody can control the receiver and listen.
github.com/NoobishSVK/fm-dx-we…
this open source repository is for those that want to start a server. The radios that are compatible are the radios that have the TEF chips like the 6686 chip, and above. I know people like @douglas2005 who has the Codosen DX 286 like I do, but I'm not sure if you could actually host a server with that radio even though it has the TEF6686 chip, it probably has to be more of an advanced radio. Anyway, once you host the server you can share it to servers.fmdx.org, or if you don't want, you could just give whoever you want the link to be able to access the remote server. If you wanna access the list of servers available, here's the link for that.
servers.fmdx.org/
for screen reader users, when you go to the site, click on the receiver list button. Then you'll see a whole list of servers. You can navigate those by headings. When you find one, you can click on it and read all the info about it, and if you want to connect to it just hit connect, and it'll take you to the website where that server is hosted. To play audio you can hit the play/pause button. I noticed that there has been some audio issues playing on iOS devices, I'm not sure if it has anything to do with Apple's strict audio settings for the browser. But I can get audio to play on my PC just fine. To navigate frequencies just go to the spin box and go hit left or right arrow, or just type in a frequency, for example, 89.500. Some servers also have AM but mostly the servers you'll see are FM. I'll be definitely using this over the upcoming weeks, as spring has sprung, and summer will soon be upon us, and the FM band opens up a lot. But it's also cool to hear stuff from other places, it's like if I ran a server from where I am in Ohio, you could hear some Ohio stuff.

Locked out of #Stocard? Considering switching to an app like #Catima? You may be able to still access your Stocard cards directly!

According to Italian video creator "IT Problem Solver", it seems Stocard's expiry is based on device time. So: change your phone's date, screenshot those barcodes, and add them to Catima! :) youtube.com/watch?v=hrsEiMjoQT…

Alternatively, if you have the patience and live in Europe, email support@stocardapp.com to ask for an export of your data and import it directly!
