Takže přátelé, #Vánoce se blíží a jak jsem varoval, tak už je to tady - #DarujHračku
Máte jedinečnou možnost rozsvítit aspoň na jeden den oči dítěti, který moc důvodů k radosti nemá. Akci organizují každoročně #Tango manažeři na vozíčcích, což je samo o sobě něco, co si zaslouží obdiv.
Představte si, že můžete náhodnýmu prckovi dopřát zázrak pod stromek a splnit mu přání. Buďte #Ježíšek.
Často to nedělám, ale tentokrát prosím - boostujte. On totiž i ten pitomej boost může znamenat radost v očích jednoho prcka.

It's two comb jellies, each of which was injured, with a part of its body ripped off ...

All their systems -- nerves, gastrointestinal -- merge. If you poke one of the jellies the whole organism reacts

A teacher trying to teach good manners, asked her students the following question:
'Michael, if you were on a date having dinner with a nice young lady, how would you tell her that you have to go to the bathroom?
'Michael said: 'Just a minute I have to go pee.' The teacher responded by saying: 'That would be rude and impolite. What about you Sherman, how would you say it?'
Sherman said: 'I am sorry, but I really need to go to the bathroom. I'll be right back.'
'That's better, but it's still not very nice to say the word bathroom at the dinner table. And you, little Johnny, can you use your brain for once and show us your good manners?'
Johnny said 'I would say: Darling, may I please be excused for
a moment? I have to shake hands with a very dear friend of mine, whom I hope to introduce you to after dinner.'

I still have my first computer, an Osborne Executive with all of its original software and manuals. It still worked great when I last booted it up in 1999. We're really trying to not hang on to stuff forever, so it's heading for the electronics recycling in a week unless someone wants it. Free, but I don't think I can deal with shipping it anywhere, so pick-up in Woburn, MA.

I use an RSS feed for news, and I’m sure I’m not the only one here on the Fediverse who appreciates the convenience it offers, because it helps me stay informed in a way that suits my preferences.
How do you keep up with the important topics that matter to you?
I’d love to hear your thoughts!

#GNOME Papers finally becomes a PDF viewer that can digitally sign documents and verify signatures.
The latter was implemented by Marek Kašík from our team. It was several years in the making. He originally implemented it for Evince, but Evince is pretty much dead and it's been waiting to be merged upstream for 1.5 years. When Papers were forked from Evince, Marek rewrote it in #Rust and implemented it there. It's currently under review and should be merged soon. ✌️

Zdeněk Hřib se stal novým lídrem Pirátské strany. Před sebou má těžký úkol: zastavit klesající trend preferencí a dostat stranu opět do Sněmovny. Sám se nechystá být lídrem do Poslanecké sněmovny a ani tam neplánuje kandidovat.Prokop Vodrážka (Deník N)
Spanish often has an H where most other Romance languages have an F.
Take 'hijas' (daughters) vs. French 'filles', Italian 'figlie', Portuguese 'filhas'.
In Old Spanish, Latin [f] became an [h] sound.
Later, this sound disappeared.

@joeran und ich hatten beim Schreiben viel Freude bei der kreativen Weiternutzung von #OER 🙂
Ich mag diese Reihe, weil sie sich ganz wunderbar dazu eignet, solch ein Büchlein einer anderen Person in die Hand zu drücken, wenn man sie beim Einstieg in ein Thema unterstützen oder sie auf etwas hinweisen will.eBildungslabor-Blog (eBildungslabor)
Do you like psych in tech and want to see it more valued? Some suggestions for folks in tech that have helped me directly:
- if you have presence in org-legible places, post about our work in places our bosses see it, like linkedin (I know, I know 😭 ). It can be as simple as "loved this! [link]" boom!
- we're often judged on engagement numbers (I know 😭). Post things like our preprints (osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/qz43…) in community groups, or employee channels. Who knows maybe you'll find friends!

I've used #Firefox as my primary browser for as long as I can remember. I stuck with it when its performance was comparatively dreadful, and when its performance with my screen reader was worse, because I agreed with Mozilla's ethos.w3c.social
Yes, it’s true that 54% of US adults struggle with reading, although the grade level equivalence is a dubious inference. I study this, so I want to share a few insights: namely that this trend isn’t unique to the US and better understanding the data has more implications than you may realize. /1
