Stupid, sexy Flanders overalls!

I’m with ya on that one. I’m curious to try PieFed, but hesitant, because it’d mean installing Interstellar and using that instead of Boost. It’d be nice to have all accounts in Boost, even if it means forgoing some of the exclusive PieFed features to begin with.

Yeah, I never thought I’d be a vertical tabs fan, but I am really loving it in combination with their compact mode. Really nice layout with the containers, pinned tabs and essential tabs! Also really digging the Glance feature and floating URL bar. I’m really looking forward to folder support!

woah, that sounds ingenious! I’m gonna have to make a note of that for the day that I finally pick up a headset.

El Salvador’s Prisons Are Notorious. Will They House Trump’s Deportees?

President Nayib Bukele has offered to jail deported criminals from the United States. His prisons have earned him a reputation as being tough on crime, but have raised alarms over rights abuses.

All of this has happened before. All of this will happen again.

Here’s a way around the paywall: https://archive.md/ZDs6S

But the article doesn’t really make it clear how much AI is involved in the textbooks, just that “Digital textbooks that make use of artificial intelligence are being adopted throughout South Korea.”, emphasis mine.

Other text from the article, relevant to your question:

South Korea, the 2025 APEC chair, held the group’s first education ministers’ meeting in nine years, the theme of which was innovation in digital education. Education ministers from 21 countries and regions participated.
[…]
Private companies and government-affiliated organizations set up booths at the APEC venue to promote their efforts. They exhibited software in which generative AI writes student evaluations on behalf of teachers or assigns homework and applied problems tailored to each child’s level of understanding.

The road to implementation was not a smooth one.

The government’s original goal was the world’s first rollout of AI digital textbooks to all schools nationwide. But teachers worried about the burden that making full use of the technology would place on them, while parents questioned whether the textbooks would actually improve student performance and whether they could lead to digital dependency.

After heated debate, lawmakers made last-minute changes, including requiring continued use of paper textbooks for subjects such as Korean and home economics and delaying implementation for other subjects. The government also made plans to provide advanced training to more than 160,000 teachers as well as dispatch 1,200 digital tutors as support staff.

That’s okay. I’d rather have the functionality and have to deal with that, than not have it at all.

Das ist der Weg

This is the way, ja?

You just made me remember how I called her “little star” for years, after the Beau Taplin poem..

No clue why I stopped. I’m going to start back up, and see what she thinks :)

Yes. I always figured it made sense, after I read an article that talked about how a study posited that yawning helped bring more oxygen into the body, which would temporarily make you more alert. So based on that, I figured it made sense why you’d get more tired, if you couldn’t yawn.

Ayy, same day!

This is something I’m really missing too. It would be so lovely to be able to filter everything away, except text and link posts, for when I’m in bed at night. It was one of my most used features with Boost for Reddit, so hopefully it can be implemented in Boost for Lemmy some day too :D

Anyway, thanks for everything you do, rmayayo! Can’t imagine using any other app for Lemmy.

Interesting, I’d never heard of Kavita, so have just been using Calibre all these years. Did you start out on Kavita, or did you move from Calibre, or another software?

That honestly sounds really cool. Thanks for sharing!

What kinda animals can you make? Are there some that you excel at in particular that are out of the more ordinary repertoire?

That sounds so cool, until I realize that I wouldn’t understand anyone around me. It’d still be amazing to see everything, but it’d be even better if I could have some subtitles as well. To be fair, I’d have much the same issue, if I were to go back to London of that year.

It took me around 18 years to find the song, It’s a Rainy Day by Ice MC (YouTube link), which I rediscovered last year.

My older sister used to buy a lot of different compilation albums, think stuff like “Now That’s What I Call Music! (Wikipedia link)”. I started listening to a lot of them, when I was around 6-7 years old, and while Eurodance songs like Rhythm Is a Dancer by Snap!, Be My Lover by La Bouche, Pump Up The Jam by Technotronic (YouTube links), and so on, were easy to track down throughout the years, there was always one song I couldn’t find.
I couldn’t even remember any lyrics, only that there was some rapping, where the dialect made it impossible for my child brain to absorb and retain any words. The only thing that I remembered was that there would be sentences ending with an “eh eh”, and that’s really not a lot to go on!

Until one day, when I was walking around a store and they started playing it over the sound system. I didn’t even realize at first, but when that organ hit at 0:21, I literally snapped my head up towards the speakers, hahaha. Finding out that he was rapping in Jamaican Patois, it suddenly made a lot more sense why I hadn’t retained any of the words.

Apparently they also used the song during the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony (Wikipedia link), which is wild to find out.

I’m okay with this, but I think my PC screen time would look pretty bad :')

As far as I know, that’s just always how it’s been for markdown, which is what Lemmy uses. So in order to be sure that your comment looks the way you want it to, it’s a good idea to use the Preview function, which Voyager thankfully also has under the 3 dots menu in the lower right.

@Mr_Blott@feddit.uk also mentioned that you can put two spaces at the end of each word, and then it’ll count the one enter as a proper line break.
Like this. You can also do as I did, and just put a dash in front of everything, and then it’ll turn into an unordered list.
