I need to scan a hand-signed document to email somebody using Windows 11. Is Windows FAX and Scan still the go-to app for this kind of thing? If not, what are people using?
Note I don't need to read it, just scan and send.

Led By Donkeys: tank v Tesla.
You don't really need to watch this to know how it works out but it is remarkably fun to see a 98yo WW2 veteran drive a tank over a Tesla - "we crushed fascism once and we'll do it again!"

Libya’s Government of National Unity said on Wednesday it rejected the use of Libyan territory as a destination for deporting migrants without its knowledge or consent. It also said there was no coordination with the United States regarding the transfer of migrants. Khalifa Haftar’s Libyan National Army, which controls eastern Libya, also rejected the idea, saying in a statement that taking in migrants deported from the U.S. “violates the sovereignty of the homeland.”
In other words there is a non-zero (and actually quite high) likelyhood that, were a plane loaded with illegal US migrants to be flown over Libyan teretory, it would not be allowed to land. By which I mean, they would shoot it down with surface-to-air missiles.
So much winning. Incredible.

This is running on a custom ssh server built using russh as the backend. To convert frames, I used the python tv package, subtitling and playback is all custom.

So apparently nearly all students cheat with AI chatbots now and basically aren't learning anything nymag.com/intelligencer/articl…
I'm grateful I got my education before these tools were available.
Still, part of this might be that education might be best if it's not actually based around grading, but working with students to actually be excited about learning
But there's no way such a worldview will be rolled out in time to survive this

I've heard from multiple mothers who were thrilled to finally understand why their baby said "dada" before "mama": it's because of the way the babies' sound-making develops. Oral sounds like “d” and “b” appear more frequently in early babble than nasal sounds like “m.”
Valerie Fridland has lot of other great insights too about "mama" and "dada" in this week's podcast. Check it out!
