Salpa fusiformis

From (Spanish) Las salpas, las extrañas criaturas que llenan las playas de Málaga

estos invertebrados no tienen nada que ver con las medusas, por lo que no son urticantes, (...)

"Son el paso intermedio entre los invertebrados y los vertebrados, puesto que tienen una primitiva columna, y forman parte del plancton, la sopa marina que es la base de la cadena alimenticia en el mar", ha manifestado.

These invertebrates have nothing to do with jellyfish, so they are not stinging, (…)

“They are the intermediate step between invertebrates and vertebrates, since they have a primitive column, and they are part of plankton, the marine soup that is the base of the food chain in the sea,” he said.

After bingwatching all of Brandon James Greer's videos, I draw my first character: Babalisa.
Criticism and advice are more than welcome.

Monolingual Fieldwork Speedrun (i.imgur.com)

Source: "Monolingual Fieldwork" Demonstration - Daniel Everett (YouTube)

Summary from UWElingo blog post:

In this video, Dan Everett is doing a ‘monolingual fieldwork presentation’, something quite impressive: he works with a speaker of a language that he doesn’t know (and which was chosen in secret by others, so he couldn’t prepare for this). Dan is showing that without having a language in common, it is still possible to do Linguistic Fieldwork. In this case, Dan is speaking Pirahã, to ensure that the lady he is working with won’t get any additional clues through his language use.

This is a great example of how you can do monolingual fieldwork – in particular how to start monolingual fieldwork.

After the presentation, there are numerous questions from the audience (again: really helpful in showing how this works). Also, it is revealed that the language is [REDACTED]!

[CUSTOM] Omni-Wheel Bicycle by James Bruton (video in description) (i.imgur.com)

Source (Full video): Can I ride a Bike with an Omni-Wheel? - (James Bruton, YouTube)

1 minute edit: https://i.imgur.com/ywsDJ2f.mp4

From the video description:

Last time I built a giant omni-wheel. An omni-wheel can move in multiple directions because it has lots of smaller wheels around its circumference, so it can roll like a normal wheel, or slide sideways.
Normally you’d use at least three omni-wheels on a vehicle so that you can move or rotate in any direction. But in this video I’m going to put my giant omni-wheel on the front of a bicycle, and with some clever electronics I’m going to control the wheel so I can ride it.
I’m using the back end of the bike from the Makers Secret Santa Christmas video which Colin Furze left on my driveway. I’ll need to modify the bike so I checked it wasn’t Colin’s bike from his childhood or anything and he said it sounds cool.
As I mentioned last time, the wheel is going to be mounted the wrong way around on the front of the bike so the two wheels make a T-shape. So first of all I need to make some modifications to the front forks of the bike.

Why can't we have a unified API across the fediverse to use in mobile apps? by Crul in c/[email protected]
[-] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm not an expert, those who know more, please correct me.

Regarding logging-in with one account into another instance, I think that's not how it's intended to work. But I'm oot sure I understand what you're asking.

Regarding the unified client API, 2 days ago Manton Reece (Creator of Micro.blog) wrote a response to Dave Winer's open voicemail in where he says:

There is a lot of work to do, even outside of ActivityPub. As Dave mentions, we also need a common posting API. The most popular Mastodon client apps do not support either ActivityPub or Micropub. But a lot of progress can be made focusing on interoperability for the server-to-server part of the API. That should be the top priority with Threads set to join the fediverse.

I don't know of any explicitely intentional dyslexic-unfriendly fonts, but from what I read on Adding A Dyslexia-Friendly Mode To A Website — Smashing Magazine, thin narrow fonts with ligatures should be good candidates, some examples I found from a quick search:
