I may give this a go, I am trying to get Astronify working at the moment but as you can see from the error message in my blog post, it fails with pip search.
Maybe Ubuntu based systems work better with python-pip may also be a good option for these netbooks instead of Raspbian.
It is perceived as difficult to use, we need to install the right distro for people but one we can support easily if needed.

RIP Arianna Rosenbluth, the programmer of the first implementation of the Metropolis algorithm, the forerunner to and basis of now-ubquitous Monte-Carlo simulation algorithms (a history the details of which I didn’t know). H/T Andrew Gelman @statmodeling. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/09/science/arianna-wright-dead.html
@thor Yeah I think Algebra can be traced back to the Babylonian era too.

not to mention the Islamic Golden Age. while Europe was in the middle of the Dung Ages, they were developing ancient Greek ideas further, making progress in higher mathematics and alchemy, the predecessor of modern chemistry, and their astrology, the predecessor of modern astronomy, was also quite developed as i understand it. who has the edge in terms of development seems to depend much on circumstances and historical accident.

There is no stopping some cops is there ? Thankfully there are good police officers out there too.
A good reason to promote the fediverse, thankfully peertube live is now available but this sort of thing cannot be allowed to happen.
Oh as a Beatles fan I also strongly object to their music being abused in this way.
@d3vnull Either that or make sure more good information gets shared and then re shared by others.

Bill Gates says we must restrict online ‘anti-vaccine’ information to get more people to take the shot https://www.intellihub.com/bill-gates-says-we-must-restrict-online-anti-vaccine-information-to-get-more-people-to-take-the-shot/ #publichealthcrisis #anti-vaccine #vaccination #shepsworld #billgates #featured #covid-19 #pandemic #science #medical #vaccine

People did try to warn me that half the things I'd make with the table saw would be things to make the table saw work right but I didn't listen
@andabata maybe you could advice @eionmac please. He is looking for a platform for some of his local photographic group to share their photos, some (understandably) don't want to use facebook but I think they would like to be able to share with other group members but not publicly .
Nice, thanks for this :)

Andabata takes really nice macro photographs of small things in nature such as mushrooms and insects. You can follow at:

That sounds like a good solution.
This could have GDPR implications does anyone have a contact at the ICO to ask for an investigation,?
@SirCandinavian@noagendasocial.com
Indeed, remind older children that NO is the difference between consent and rape, I kinda found that a very strong way to look at things.
Too many people seem to think 'NO' means carry on anyway as NO infringes their rights.
@aphyr Is this the 'working' directory, I am sure that can be changed.
You could create a 2nd user account on your system for business use, then everything is kept apart, finance, work, away from anything else you do.
On my system this is most useful ,as I then have a clean desktop (no other icons etc) to take video / screenshots of applications etc.
@wim66 Holland maybe.
@rune@mastodon.nzoss.nz hmm seems a really bad idea, or about making sure we stay contactable 24/7
@privacyint you may find this useful / interesting from the UK
I asked the National Youth Advisory service ( https://www.nyas.net ) what a Digital Risk Assessment was and was sent the link to the pdf below

So this may extend to recruitment checks too,
