Hey fellow academics! I'm considering buying a #remarkable2. I could use feedback on how usable it is for conducting paper #reviews, especially for double column papers, which are notoriously annoying to read on (other) #ebook readers. TIA! #academiclife

Bump for any recommendations from the day crowd on here, please.

I’d like to pay for a hour or so’s (remote, just for me) training on LibreOffice Impress, and recommendations / leads would be really welcome.

QT neil_neilzone: Who knows someone who / a business which offers an hour or so’s specific one-on-one training / hand-holding on @libreoffice Impress, via jitsi, in English?

OK, Lazyweb, I need some software. I would like a person to be able to:

Fill out a web form,
Endure a modest captcha, and
Validate an email to put the form data in a queue.

As an admin, I would like to review what's in the queue, maybe tweak it, and click a button to post it to something WordPressy.

I'd rather not roll my own, but do want 100% self-hosted, _not_ containerized, and I put a very high premium on understandable simplicity.

What do I want?

Ok, I’m looking for recommendations on the #fantasy novels—the fatter the better.

I’ve read the wheel of time, a song of ice and fire, the stormlight archive, kingkiller chronicles, etc etc. The popular stuff I guess. Would really enjoy reading something by women and/or people of color.

But the really important thing is that they’re BIG. And also that they’re on Libby lol.

Thanks in advance.

the jacket liner I was actually *looking* for, and did not find, went with an album which may be titled either "Streetnote" or "Streetnote San Francisco".

The only trace I can find of this album on the web is a partial crawl of the record label's website, https://web.archive.org/web/20030718040743/http://www.streetnote.com/ but unfortunately it was one of those early-2000s image-and-table sites and the Wayback Machine didn't preserve any of the images so it's useless.

Anyone got a track listing for this thing?

My employer, Freedom of the Press Foundation, is looking for a web design firm to partner with for a redesign of one of our flagship projects, the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker.

This is a pretty cool opportunity to do mission-driven design work -- please help pass it along to design firms who you think could be a good fit.

Budget is $40-$50K. Note that we have an internal web dev team, so the focus here is on the design.

does anyone have resources that were helpful to them? about deciding when to euthanize or dealing with grief or whatnot. my dog is close to the end

I have so much admiration for flowers which manage to grow in the cracks in the pavement.

Just typo'ed a servername while reconnecting to an IRC channel, and accidentally put in libera dot net instead of the correct dot chat, and you wouldn't believe where I found myself: Back on Freenode. Who've apparently secured that domain, and are using it to try to trick people back on to their services.

@darius @cwebber Ooh I know this one! This is a rounding thing, because calorie counts are estimates anyway so they don't want to be deceptively precise.

So you end up with this when it's something like, 94 kcal = 90 rounded, 188 kcal = 190 rounded

@cwebber I have a bad habit of doing mental checksums on nutrition labels and the math very often doesn't work out
