One week ago, we announced LibreOffice 25.2, our brand new major release. It’s packed with new features, and has many improvements to compatibility and performance too.Mike Saunders (The Document Foundation)

@RaccoonForFriendica version 0.4.1-beta11 has been released yesterday and is available for testing.
Its "latest and greatest" are:
- tags in post headers in your timeline (if that post is included due to you following one orore hashtags);
- new post detail layout which makes it easier to view relationships between posts and replies and load more replies on demand.
The initial depth of nesting (higher values imply loading will be less performant, lower values imply you'll see more often the "load more replies" button due to threads being partially downloaded).
It is the best I can do with the current Mastodon APIs but it looks ok-ish and, which is more important to the user who asked for this feature I guess, it makes it easier to follow conversations.
Let me know what you think, and if I accidentally broke anything and in the meantime, as usual, #livefasteattrash

@Peter Vágner Aside note:
As far as I know, you can only send posts to a Friendica forum with an exclamation mark to have them forwarded to all members. But you cannot do that with comments, not in a conversation whose (start) post did not go to that forum.
On Friendica and all its descendants, a reply is never a stand-alone post. It's always a comment on another post.
Thus, mentioning a Friendica forum in a comment with an exclamation mark is futile.

The Tech Doctor Podcast: From Braille ‘n Speak To BT Speak
dr-carter.com/?p=581
In this episode of the Tech Doctor podcast, the Tech Doctors welcome special guest Nicole Bond and Tim Noonan.
Nicole and Tim were Braille ’n Speak users who enthusiastically explained why they loved the Braille ’n Speak. Nicole got her Braille ’n Speak at age 7 and used it through college. Tim used the Braille ’n Speak both on the job and in his personal life.
Robert, also a Braille ’n Speak user provided some historical context and talked about his role as a Braille ’n Speak beta tester.
Allison, Robert, Tim and Nicole are all now BT Speak users. They explain how the BT Speak has filled the void that was left during the many years when there was no Braille ’n Speak like device available.
They also looked at how far the BT Speak has come in a little less than a year. Tim demonstrated some examples of how the BT Speak is evolving to meet the needs of its users. In a future update, the BT Speak will offer a One Handed Mode for people who need it. There will be a new much advanced way of managing multiple files in the editor and the famous Braille ’n Speak Append Mode is coming to the BT Speak.
As exciting as all of this is, at only one year old, the BT Speak is just getting started. The Tech Doctors will report new developments as they unfold. Stay tuned. We will be back.
I disagree with use cases that rely on CSS, generally at risk from network interruptions and caching, to trigger programmatic state changes in the HTML that references it (see pic). Cart / horse and all.
Instead, use CSS to ensure your programmatic state is correct. Eg: adrianroselli.com/2021/06/usin…

A very wide coalition of parties in Denmark have agreed on a new "anti-Elon" law that will prevent foreign interference in Danish politics.
I hope Germany will get inspired.

A Trump State Department official, acting undersecretary for public diplomacy and public affairs Darren Beattie, has on a number of occasions called for the sterilization of “low-IQ trash”.

Republicans just voted to put a Putin apologist with no real intelligence experience in charge of our intelligence community. The Director of National Intelligence should be someone with integrity, experience, and commitment to our national security — not Tulsi Gabbard.
Gabbard is fundamentally unfit for this role. Her willingness to align herself with adversaries like Putin and Assad demonstrates a disregard for the principles and priorities of U.S. foreign policy. cbsnews.com/news/tulsi-gabbard…
One Republican — Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky — joined Democrats in voting against Tulsi Gabbard's nomination as director of national intelligence.Kaia Hubbard (CBS News)
But every Senate Republican (except for Mitch McConnell) just voted to confirm Gabbard. These Senate Republicans think they can get away with it. They think we’ll forget. They think their shameless betrayals of the people they work for will go unanswered.

More importantly, it might hurt the backers of the chaos coming out of the USA since Jan 20th.

I actually love the idea that countries can fight a trade war better with right-to-repair laws.
Smaller, local companies could create the gear that makes it easier to fix things and build the economy.
But seriously, the linked website is visually atrocious.

if you need a quick break - or a longer one -and you can't just head outside right now, - might i suggest this:
it's a place where you can listen to trees / forests across the globe. Sometimes there are birds, or wind, or insects can be heard, but always trees.
I adore trees. They are soothing and reassuring. They help me slow down. Maybe they can do the same for you?

People around the world recorded the sounds of their forests, so you can escape into nature, while in lockdown or unable to travel. Use this site to chill, meditate or do some digital shinrin-yoku.www.tree.fm
