Une bonne chose de faite !
Après 1 année scolaire complète sous PrimTux 8 avec mes élèves (et windows en dual boot au cas où), c'est decidé : ce sera désormais du 100% PrimTux. L'occasion de virer définitivement Windows et de passer à PrimTux 9 !
À titre perso, je ne dirais plus "PrimTux est une alternative à Windows" mais "PrimTux est un meilleur choix que Windows" (voire LE meilleur choix, tout simplement).
Bravo aux collègues investis dans ce projet 👏
Before 1993, women weren’t allowed to wear pants on the Senate floor.
That changed when Sen. Moseley Braun (D-IL), & Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) wore trousers - shocking the male-dominated Senate. This eventually led to the dress code being clarified to allow women to wear pants.

What are the most important issues and discussions about the Open Social Web we need to have this late summer and fall?

I am interested in how do we get more people in a position of influence to join the Fediverse and do a #Forkiverse style experiment.
What cool idea or angle could we develop to bring smaller niche communities into the Fediverse?
Forkiverse worked for me because it was lead by people of influence, that were essentially creating a community of like minded people. The federation part was secondary.
Thought of the day:
We need more product testing teams consisting entirely of elderly people.
@juergen_hubert Will we be paid ?
@the_coffee_lover yes. I also only keep my Medium account open in protest. I don’t publish there. Except an excerpt on occasion that links to my own site.
@markwyner oh okay cool 😎☺️.

@AnarchoNinaWrites The solution to the problem seems to be about the same either way... throw them and their boss in a volcano.

L'explication : dans un pays riche, les étrangers sont les pauvres. Dans un pays pauvre, les étrangers sont les riches. Donc les prisons ne sont pas pleines d'étrangers, elle sont pleines de pauvres, partout.
Speakers and learners of #tokipona
Please help us with our research on toki pona pronunciation patterns!
If you're 18 or older, and happy to record your voice for our study, please help by following the link. It takes less than 10 minutes.

We will be conducting linguistic analysis on the recordings, and using them to understand the ways in which toki pona varies across different words and contexts, and how much variation there is across different types of speakers.
Please feel free to ask us questions!
