"…the quantity (and quality) of books advertised in the Métro, the number of people reading during their commutes, the way niche publications spawn, stay or are replaced by new ones…"
Oui, c'est comme ça, makes you hopeful even!

Junicode you know?
Libertinus has both serif and sans versions
These two are technically excellent and have large character sets
By the time Starmer is replaced this summer, we'll have had two wasted years, in which a country crying out for transformation instead got more of the same, or even worse where environmental legislation is concerned, and a high possibility of Farage running the next government.
Thanks Keir.

Ai #Portugal! Nem na Estratégia Digital Nacional (EDN) 🇵🇹 nem no Plano de Ação da EDN 2026-2027 (bo.digital.gov.pt/api/assets/e...) há qualquer menção de "open" "software" "libre" "open access" 🥴

I am always waiting to see when these discoveries, which have now been around for 20+ years, will start making it into school history books. It feels like a long wait! Such an important eye opener for our relation with the past in general

NEW: last night, the US govt launched an assault on the ‘global censorship industrial complex’, aka European tech researchers/campaigners.
It’s a deeply chilling move & speaks as to why we need international solidarity more than ever.

People working together at laptops during a hackathon, focused and engaged in discussion. Text says: Media literacy teaches you to ask who made a message, why, and how. By verifying sources and understanding context, you can resist misinformation and contribute responsibly to the information ecosystem.
Rumors, conspiracy theories, and doctored images travel online faster than you can fact-check them. Media literacy is the skill set that helps you slow down and scrutinize what you see. 🧵⬇️ (1/3)
The sheer recalcitrance of diverse materials to the homogenizing process required both by digitization and processing by means of AI means one thing: the digitization is not the archive.

📊 Open source isn’t just a software model—it’s a strategy. 84% of organizations find that fostering open source culture leads to higher retention. Why? Because it gives engineers:
✅Autonomy
✅Visibility
✅Purpose
✅A path to growth without leaving your team

Because the issue of population change is so widely misunderstood, here's a short thread which seeks to lay it out simply.
It explains why there is almost nothing anyone can do to change the global population trajectory, both as numbers rise, then as they fall.

Bit of a long shot, but are there any medievalists in Cambridge at the moment who might be able to take pictures of a MS in the UL? Massive gratitude and thanks on offer ...
