I have the ssh movie player back online!
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.
You'll need a terminal that supports 24 bit color.

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

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!

The Keynote Will NOT Go Forward
libregraphicsmeeting.org/2025/…
Due to concerns from the LGM community, the planned keynote with Dr. Richard Stallman is cancelled.
The announcement made many people angry and upset, and anger and division are not what LGM is about. Public debate was one of the factors that led to this decision. The discussion can be read here: post.lurk.org/@lgm/11446210104…

[EDIT/NOTE] The following sentence mentioning our Code of Conduct in this announcement could be interpreted as suggesting we believe Richard Stallman’s presence would make the event less safe. That interpretation is not our intention; we don’t think that way. We don’t all think that Stallman’s talk would have been a problem. Some of us wanted to hear him. The context of the discussion linked above is important to correctly interpret this announcement and the reasons that led to it. Some people voiced general discomfort about the LGM in the debate; we take these concerns seriously.

LGM is committed to being an inclusive and safe venue for members of the Libre Graphics community, and we stand by the commitments to safety outlined
by our Code of Conduct. libregraphicsmeeting.org/2025/…
Personal Note of the Organizer:
I’ll be welcoming everyone seeking a conversation with me about the topic.
