#SheikhHasina, the ousted PM of #Bangladesh, has been sentenced to death after being found guilty of #CrimesAgainstHumanity for the violent suppression of #student #protests last year that led to the collapse of her govt.
A panel of 3 judges from the International Crimes Tribunal ( #ICT), Bangladesh’s domestic #WarCrimes court, delivered their verdict Monday, ruling that Hasina was responsible for inciting hundreds of #ExtrajudicialKillings carried out by #law enforcement.

Question for the Toot Wales folks - if I was to run a community here for students in Wales, how would you like that to work?

I'm thinking a hashtag, #StudentsInWales, and then maybe a weekly chat hour.

Very open to ideas and suggestions!

p.s. Folks outside of Toot Wales but studying in Wales would of course be welcome!

NM #primaryschool students will take the “#AI enhanced” Amira reading test (replacing iStation). When asked how the AI will be able to correctly compute #newcomer accents, speech impediments, etc. to accurately determine #student #fluency and placement, the trainer - I kid you not - opened up the Amira AI chat to ask it how it worked. It received a very confident answer about using multiple measures. This happened in front of my actual eyeballs. #education #elementary #newmexico #assessment

Alaska Ignored Warning Signs of a Budget Crisis. Now It Doesn’t Have Funding to Fix Crumbling Schools.
—

Lawmakers only budgeted $40 million of the nearly $800 million that districts say is needed to fix and maintain schools to keep them safe and operating. Gov. Mike Dunleavy then vetoed more than two-thirds of that.

I know this is a long shot, but nothing ventured, nothing gained and maybe the fediverse can help.

[Edit: he's found a room!]

🇬🇧My oldest son (19) is moving to Eindhoven to study design at the Design Academy Eindhoven. He's looking for a room to rent, which is proving very difficult. Is there anyone in the fediverse who can help him with a room either in Eindhoven or nearby? He doesn't mind commuting.

🇳🇱Mijn oudste zoon (19) gaat design studeren aan de Design Academy in Eindhoven. Hij is op zoek naar een kamer, wat erg moeilijk blijkt te zijn. Is er iemand in de fediverse die hem aan een kamer kan helpen in Eindhoven of omgeving? Hij vindt het niet erg om te reizen.

🎓 Returning #Blind #CS #Student – Seeking Advice on LaTeX & #Accessible #Math Tools

Hi everyone! I’m a blind student returning to college to pursue a B.S. in Computer Science through Colorado Christian University Online. This is my third attempt at college due to chronic illness, but I’m excited to be back and determined to make it work.

I’m looking for advice on two fronts:

📝 1. LaTeX on #Windows

I’ve recently started learning LaTeX and find it a more accessible way to write papers—especially when paired with Zotero for citations. My main machine is a Windows 11 Pro mini PC, and I also have a Raspberry Pi running Arch Linux ARM.

So far, I’ve tried:

• Overleaf – nice interface, but the PDF viewer isn’t very screen reader-friendly and the editor has some issues too (JAWS/NVDA repeat lines).
• VS Code with LaTeX Workshop – most accessible option I've tried
• TeXnicCenter – only briefly.

👉 Question: What LaTeX editors or workflows do you use on #Windows, and how accessible have you found them?

➗ 2. Relearning College-Level Math

I’ll be starting with calculus early next year. It’s been a long time since high school, and chronic illness has affected my memory and cognition. I used to use a Perkins Brailler for math, but arthritis/lupus (still being diagnosed) makes that painful now.

👉 Question: Can anyone recommend accessible resources for relearning math—especially for someone doing everything online?

Any tips for doing math, science, or programming fully online as a blind student would be incredibly appreciated.

Thanks in advance! I’m happy to share what I learn along the way.

Feel free to boost or tag others who might have insights.
