Pamac just told me I can upgrade to #Zotero 7 (I have Zotero installed via Flatpak), just waiting on Zotero 7 support from Better BibTeX* before I make the upgrade! Excited to see what's changed! :) * Better BibTeX Zotero 7 integration status: github.com/retorquere/zot…

Any educator who embraces AI on the basis that students will need to engage with AI in the world of work has missed the point that AI is a fundamentally anti-worker technology which will immiserate students' prospects of getting work and their experience in workplace itself

You asked. We listened. A while ago, we shared a map showing areas where Orange Chips were available, and a few of you asked if we could share the underlying data. As an important public service, we have produced this new map showing exactly where Orange Chips can be procured.

Thinking about her (the short lived British Rail Tavern car) again. 😔
