It's amazing to see the groupthink among dipshits.
Look at this donkey's chorus of billionaire-worshippers filling my mentions with the word "cope" over and over again, evidently in the belief that it will pierce and wound me beyond recovery.

Space, the final frontier. Our solar system is in space, right? This BBC series gets into the nitty gritty of Earth, asteroids, moons and the other planets near us. Maybe it doesn't sound like edge of your seat stuff but Brian Cox does his best to keep your attention. Cox simplifies complicated concepts while he tries to figure out how life began here while postulating about where else life could be found. BBC 2 on iPlayer.

I wonder what could go wrong next!
Trek novels are still coming out and, as you say, they're getting better at releasing commercially available unabridged versions in audio format as opposed to those abridged versions that took up two standard cassettes.
Hey folks, finally got my resume into shape and figured I'd try to #getfedihired.
Looking for a tech job doing backend work--I can do full-stack but being #blind means I'm going to struggle more with UI. I'm proficient in #Rust, #Elixir, #Golang, #TypeScript, and a handful of other languages. I have Android experience as well, and have done fun accessibility-related projects like writing an Android screen reader from scratch or adding screen-reader-like functionality to multiple game engines.
I don't mind big tech too much but am looking to switch away to something more co-op/non-profit if possible. It'd be nice to use my tech skills for good, not just for some investor's benefit. Good work/life balance is also a must--I don't live to work, I work to live.
Here's my resume if any of this sounds intriguing. Thanks for reading and/or boosting!

For a post-canon story it's pretty good, @FreakyFwoof
Meet Gawain Robards, Auror - This is the story of a man who had lost hope in the world, in humanity, in himself. And of his unexpected means of finding it again with some subtle help from the Boy Who Lived. But who is helping whom? A new POV of the Ministry reformation after the Battle of Hogwarts, tracking Harry's rather unusual assimilation into the Auror ranks. *Post-war canon.

Just updated my personal @gotosocial instance to 0.17. Super painless, except for the minor bit of having to change the entrypoint/command to sleep inf to stop the instance so I could SSH in and back up the database, which ultimately wasn't needed but is still a good idea anyway. Still though, it was much simpler than Mastodon upgrades which, I'm told, can get rather dicey.
Might look into contributing. GTS does everything I want except for push notifications, which might be fun to add.

I know a lot of y’all are probably reeling from that Stallman report and I’ve even seen people remarking on how no one was listening until now.
What you need to understand is that the things in that report have been known, widely, for many years. They are not “open secrets”. They are things people have actively tried to address, at significant scale, many many times. Some of those times even resulted in (brief) consequences.
The man Is like a cockroach in more ways than I care to describe and what we should all be noticing here is the how incredibly impossible it is to remove an influential white man from power and have him face real consequences. He’s not even remotely rich.
The people defending him aren’t turning a blind eye. They are actively, knowingly enabling him. And that’s not because they care about the movement…
…it’s because they know they are like him, and if he suffers consequences, they’ll be next. And that just won’t do. They don’t give a shit about a “movement” that’s basically petered out by now.

For our (small) master dissertation about #education (but mostly because we are interested), we are doing research about using #OpenStreetMap within #secondary education (roughly 12 - 18 years old, but with a focus on 16 - 18 years old).
The long-term goal is to create a usable #lesson where pupils go out and map using a data collection app. If you have any experience with this, would you be so kind to spend 10 minutes of your time to fill out the survey?

Just a reminder. Please do not install Leasey into the JAWS 2025 public beta.
Leasey does not support the JAWS 2025 public beta.
Five queries have been received just this morning from people who have done this and they have found it is not working correctly.
It wouldn't be working as you expect because the version of Leasey which does support JAWS 2025 is in beta testing.
The reason that you install a new JAWS beta is so that you can provide feedback to Vispero on what does not work as you expect.
Leasey changes JAWS access in a number of ways. So if you find something does not work as it used to, and you submit a report to Vispero based upon your findings, that is a false report because you have installed additional script files into the beta. So they may not be able to reproduce your problem.
In some ways, JAWS 2025 is a very different animal to all previous versions. There are currently different speech prompts it is giving in some areas together with other issues.
Leasey has to fit into the context of this moving target at present.
A full and thorough guide has already been written which explains in a friendly way how to move from JAWS 2024 to 2025 so as to gain the best experience. That will be published ahead of the release of Leasey 9.1. Please wait until then. Thank you.

If I am ever going to translate "Deutsche Sagen" ("German Legends") by the Brothers Grimm, I will probably have to re-learn #Latin - they used too many Latin-language sources for this work.
I suppose my Latin teachers from back in school will have had the last laugh then after all.
That sounds... tricky.
At least Latin _is_ covered by many online translation tools, although I am not sure how accurate they are.
Classical Chinese (or more anal retentively Literary Chinese) is a really difficult language for a variety of reasons.
1. It is essentially a written-only form of language. It uses the fact that two syllables with the same pronunciation but different meanings can be determined by looking at the character. In vernacular Chinese you can't do this. If you say "shu3" which one do you mean? So an extra disambiguating syllable is added like "lao3shu3" for "mouse".
