Amid all life's worries, I can say positively that hall effect keyboards are _lovely_ for typing. (This is an Arbiter Polar 65, found at Sin Lim in Singapore.)

I've had a #Spanish language option contributed to #Refspy ("A #Python package for working with #biblical references in ordinary text"), but don't know any Spanish, so can't properly assess or test it. Do _you_ know anyone who might be interested in that?

One of my recent favourite little things was seeing gravestones in South India proudly identifying their surviving offspring as 'Dr.' and 'Er.' The 'Er.' stands for Engineer. (I'm planning now to start using 'Err.' for Software Engineer.)

An endearing quality of churches in south India is that their names often say "CSI:" then the in name of the locality. I visited one just after the US bishop caused a stir by asking Trump to show mercy to several groups of people. This was the opposite page in the prayer book...

Other countries have an unprecedented opportunity to hire all the US's best medical researchers _right_ now. Probably a lot of top scientists in the near future too. @australianlabor.bsky.social

Conclave is a gorgeous film. It has a little of the country-house-murder-mystery-where-they're-all-snowed-in-and-nobody-can-leave feel about it, and a clever late twist.

Been trying online RSS readers. Just deleted Inoreader for being a bit too clunky. Wondering is Feedspot worthwhile, or do i just go back to a standalone program?
