Doing this in Python2 at the moment

So far got the GUI started.

I have set up a gitlab repository for this too.

Hubble Provides Holistic View of Stars Gone Haywire
--
As nuclear fusion engines, most stars live placid lives for hundreds of millions to billions of years. But near the end of their lives they can turn into crazy whirligigs, puffing off shells and jets of hot gas. Astronomers have employed Hubble's full range of imaging capabilities to dissect such crazy fireworks happening in two nearby young planetary nebulas. NGC 6303 is dubbed the Butterfly Nebula because of its wing-like appearance. In addition, NGC 7027 resembles a jewel bug, an insect with a brilliantly colorful metallic shell.

Some truly stunning pictures here, not bad for something built in 1986 and launched a few years later. Hubble still going strong in 2020.

If anyone on here is also on Twitter you may want to follow:

activitypub-bridge
@ActivitypubB

As the Fediverse uses
Activity Pub
https://activitypub.rocks/
As the protocol that makes everything communicate nicely

Right now they have 3 followers, so the more the better.

We can then try and ask publications, on twitter if they can also add activity pub to their website so it is easier to federate here and allow us to subscribe, or even create bots to do this.

The more people they feel will benefit from this the more likely they are to look in to it.

I found this today and am sharing here, I have updated some of the Discourse forum posts to also include this.

Writefull for Overleaf checks grammar and gives language feedback on the text you write in Overleaf. Using language models trained on millions of journal articles, Writefull corrects grammar, vocabulary, punctuation, and more. Writefull is specifically designed to provide language suggestions for research writing. Writefull for Overleaf is a Chrome extension provided by Writefull, it is not provided or maintained by Overleaf. Both Overleaf and Writefull are part of Digital Science.

This is a test image for uploading pictures to the forum.

Feel free to ignore.

If you need to insert images and want to control how they look, this works on the Discourse forum as well as here.

Now this is interesting, If I make a toot, and reply to it, I get a show thread message.

I don't get this if I reply to messages from other people.

Is anyone able to confirm this.

Sometimes I feel like banging my head against a wall. Trying to suggest alternatives to spyware and proprietary systems, people don't get it .

@freemo @globcoco @design_RG @schestowitz

I appreciate these are different ways, but they are all commercial, closed source and zoom just routes via china and is not even offering basic encryption for free users.

I am sharing this manually from LinkedIn as there is concern people are going to forget about this risk, in their rush to re-open. All the plumbing left unused since the lock down started poses a potential risk.
