    Tweetdeck isn't working for me as a Twitter UI because its layout is broken, with fonts blurred and intermingled with avatars and names. But the open and free TweetDuck https://tweetduck.chylex.com/ does the trick. Finally my TL is no longer cluttered with all the crap Twitter is putting into it.

    I never thought about how long ago Garfield got started. https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1978/06/19/ And same with the other orange cat, Heathcliff. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heathcliff_(comics)

    1978 and 1973. A long time ago for each of them.

    You'd think that taking 2 smartphones, 2 tablets, 3 laptops, 2 portable gaming consoles, 1 media player, one digital camera, and 1 #Raspberry_Pi Zero W is excessive the way the #TSA reacts, but if you're an IT person who is likely to be gone for 6 months or more, that's travelling light.

    Have been at my sister's this weekend and showed my nephew the "Hardware Maintenance Manual" of his TP X201 (inherited from his mom). He was deeply impressed by the exploded view of the various notebook's layers. We talked about how careful one has to be when opening, dismantling, and reassembling the machine. As we didn't have enough time and quietude to open it, we merely cleaned it on the outside (cleaning tips for laptop surfaces administered to nephew – check), then used the vacuum cleaner to clean keyboard and ventilation slots of the fan. He's been elated how easily the keys now work again and that his machine is now considerably quieter and cooler.

    I guess the lesson behind this work was well received: Keep your machines and tools clean for better performance; look for tidy work environments; honour and enjoy your own effort.

    It was a nice weekend, that is.

    (I also spent time with my niece and cleaned my sister's windows, a present she receives once a year.)

    "bounces houses" sounds rather dubious, if not disreputable.

    Lovely to see more pics. I thought the headline was made up. Anyway, it's the image, not the circumstances around it that touches me. Just the addition "in a Belgian forest" is so evocative and plays with my imagination.. :-)

    Why dyslexia is not a ‘disorder’ but an evolutionary advantage
    https://nu.federati.net/url/286817

    >The experts suggested that dyslexia, which causes difficulty reading, writing and spelling, is a useful specialisation and not a “neurocognitive condition”.
    >
    >Non-dyslexics are better at using knowledge and exploiting what is already there while dyslexic people have a particular knack for tackling the unknown with gusto.
    >
    >And in the days before literacy, this penchant for adventure would have been invaluable in helping societies adapt and thrive.
    >
    >About one in five people have dyslexia, and their tendency to push the envelope would have been balanced out by other members of a prehistoric society, leading to a well-rounded group with equally useful skill sets.
    >
    >However, Dr Helen Taylor, from the University of Strathclyde, and Dr Martin Vestergaard, from the University of Cambridge, said that dyslexia was now seen as a problem because modern education systems focused on the things sufferers struggled with and neglected what they excelled at.
    >
    >They reassessed past studies on dyslexic individuals and disagreed with the prevailing theory that it was a cognitive deficit.
    >
    >“Striking the balance between exploring for new opportunities and exploiting the benefits of a particular choice is key to adaptation and survival and underpins many of the decisions we make in our daily lives,” said Dr Taylor.
    >
    >“Evidence strongly indicates that individuals with developmental dyslexia do not have a disorder but instead, are specialised in explorative cognitive search,” the researchers wrote in their paper, published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology.
    >
    >However, since the invention of written language, dyslexia has been seen as a problem, not a talent.
    >
    >“Schools, academic institutes and workplaces are not designed to make the most of explorative learning,” said Dr Taylor.
    >...

    While I have dyslexia to a limited degree, mostly transposing joining letters and numbers, I can see how the "specialised in explorative cognitive search" works for myself, I see patterns where other don't and I also think it help with the programming I do, when I don't mistype things.

    Hoy se cumplen 4 años desde que empezamos en gnusocial.net 😊

    No fue nuestro primer hogar en el #Fediverso : entramos al menos un par de años antes en otro servidor de gnusocial, ahora desaparecido, de la mano de un compa de @radioela

    En este tiempo hemos visto con alegría cómo más medios y radios libres, programas, podcasts, se iban uniendo a las redes libres.

    Queremos agradecer a @elbinario por alojarnos durante estos años, y también recordar a todo el mundo que se conecta a través de este servidor que, al igual que las radios libres, los servidores y servicios ofrecidos tienen un coste económico, y que hay gente trabajando sin ganar un duro para que todo funcione lo mejor posible.

    Está en nuestra mano mantener todo esto. Cualquier ayuda económica, por pequeña que sea, es bienvenida.

    Sabia que no lo ibas a dejar estar ;) No quisiera yo ofender a obi, pero para mi las historias son todo, en una peli,serie,libro,videojuego y no me parece que la serie tenga una buena, tira demasiado de nostalgia no ofrece nada novedoso, y la accion trepidante que debiera ser el universo de starwar no la veo. ojo que a lo mejor soy muy critico, porque de lo que he visto hasta ahora lo unico que me molo fue maldalorian, y si el pequeño yoda tiene mucho tiron :P

Que sepas que por cosas de cuidados se lo preste a mi madre y me pille el suyo (que es de amazon) y aunque es verdad que lo de que me busque significados de palabras me molaba, el no tener que convertir todo a sus archivos me hace libre. Pero sobre todo FELIZ. Gracias por compartir la tecnología y darle una segunda vida. https://gnusocial.net/url/9783786
