Just found out that you can add emojis to your @zotero library. Please take this away from me, I am #procrastinating with this the whole morning. <3 @phdlife #academicChatter

"Call for Letters of Inquiry: Institutional Support for Open Source Software in Research

1/5 I have recently noticed a shift by the FTC to a more traditional progressive approach to enforcement and away from the original NeoBrandesian (NB) positions of the Biden administration.

Pantheon Desktop (from the @elementary team) is a master piece on #NixOS 🤌🧑🍳
If I'm switching distros, I might as well go all in. I'm switching to Pantheon too 😲 Excellent work @danirabbit 💖️
The trackpad gestures are sublime. The hardware/peripheral configuration is on point. I can tweak the keyboard shortcuts to suit my muscle memory. Outstanding job by the #Nix contributors who pulled all this together ⭐️
@grahamc The notification settings might be what you're looking for 👍
