Hi

Looks like 7.0.4.2. This is installed as a snap package on Debian.

I need to figure out how to update snap packages too.

The Framework Laptop: Upgradeable, repairable, and 100% yours

It’s time for long-lasting products that respect your right to repair and upgrade.
The single best way to reduce the environmental impact of electronics is to make them last longer. You can repair and upgrade the Framework Laptop to make it work great for as long as you need it to. On top of that, it uses a 50% post consumer recycled (PCR) aluminium housing, 30% PCR plastic, and fully recyclable materials for packaging.
Built-in hardware privacy switches give you complete control over access to the camera and microphones. Their embedded controller firmware is fully open source, and they claim not to preload any extra software.
It is expected to ship by the Summer of 2021 (Northern Hemisphere?).

Thanks for that. I have just looked it up and added that (and some other links) to my StudySupportBlog

I want to try and help distance learners, so am using the blog and discourse.qoto.org to try and create a platform where learners can discuss what they are learning or related topics.

Great doing courses online, even better to discuss the content with others to help with learning.

The idea of reading and researching is lost on many I see that many sites now have an article with things like 5 min read, so they have an idea of how long.

The recent creative Education course I did is meant to be an hour, it takes longer, when you start / stop / rewind the video to take notes etc.

In some cases you watch a video twice, once to watch it, the 2nd time to take notes and then a 3rd time to perhaps make more notes,. first time you may even stop / start to record time indexes of interesting points.

The Aspen Card is a debit card given to UK asylum seekers to provide subsistence support. But it also allows the Home Office to monitor their every purchase.

Indeed, are you using tcolorbox for that or similar, nice package, getting my head round it slowly.

@jess I don't speak Spanish but you sound very excited here :)

I am currently writing the OU Space Science Club newsletter in LaTeX, I like being able to do \href{url}{link text} or from issue 3 use
\includefile{filename} to include other sections, this also makes re-arranging them a very simple process.

Just completed WHO another course, this time on Infection Control

openwho.org/courses/IPC-INTRO-

If anyone works in the Healhcare Sector or is looking to work in this sector I recommend this FREE course to introduce infection control

@Archivist @icedquinn @cwebber @libreoffice

I am with you on LaTeX, it is handy to know how to use LibreOffice though,
