@freemo I agree, but some schools were a little more flexible than this.

@zleap To be fair schools dont get funding to be soup kitchens. I'm all for feeding kids who are in poverty, I think thats important. But we cant blame school administrators for that, blame the country/state for not funding schools to provide free food to the kids.

Headteacher refuses to feed children who are ‘more than a penny in debt to school’
Pupils whose meal accounts are more than a penny in debt at a school will be left without food at lunchtime.

The severe warning was issued in a letter to parents sent by Neil Foden – the strategic head of Ysgol Dyffryn Nantlle in Penygroes, Gwynedd – as part of an approach recommended by the local council.

@freemo Ok, I will look at how to do that,

is this on the git.qoto.org server ?

@freemo Sounds good, I am not sure how to write patches, but maybe implementing here as we are a stem instance would be good starting point,

No rush as it was just an idea. but thank you for considering the idea. .

@zleap That would be cool. Yea id support a patch with that feature if you wanted to submit it. Or anyone. Otherwise I can consider implementing it myself when I have some time. Depends on how things go in Egypt while im there.

To explain puzzling neutrino behavior, theorists have proposed “dark sector” expansions of the Standard Model that could also resolve the Hubble tension and dark matter. New results suggest these theories could be on the right track. quantamagazine.org/neutrino-pu

@zacchiro I will share further and have embedded on my blog and put a link to your jobs page

Good luck finding the right people :)

@inference @mia @piggo

I agree with you, I think what ever happened was clearly just a glitch somewhere that was fixable by reinstalling the package.

At some point I will grab a spare netbook, install debian 10 and see if I can figure out which of the 3 packages caused the issue.

@freemo I had an idea for a feature, citing posts

As we can currently embed posts in a website would it be possible to grab post information such as who posted it, date etc and a link to the post (which you can get to by clicking on it anyway)

That way when writing documents it is possible to quote something but then include a full citation in a bibref file.

@freemo @Gina Ah, for some reason i managed to figure that out right after posting the question, but that probably helps others too.

@publicvoit

I don't really use twitter any more but good luck to this person getting sorted out, would be good if this person joined here though.

@wizard @downey @lightweight @alcinnz

Where are the software freedom conservancy based ? or try the @fsfe why may be able to point you in the right direction.
