I'm really curious if ALTco is on here and maybe saw this post... or if we are just very much on the same wavelength about gadgets like this. He's made a glorious project (a calculator with mechanical keys) and a video so you can go along for the ride.

Check it out!

One of the last remaining tasks I have for Loops federation was building the hashtag feed page, and side effects.

I also refactored the Admin Dashboard to handle hashtag reports, and also added deep linking to open hashtag management to make the handling of reports easier 😎

Yeah, you can prevent hashtags from appearing in search results, or prevent autolinking, mark as NSFW or even ban.

Loops empowers both admins + users with simplicity and powerful moderation tools that actually work

Jake , an editor at magazine, made the point that a broader base of personal histories can improve the process of deciding what scientific issues to work on:

"Somebody decides how to teach chemistry, which things count as “important” and which are niche specializations. There is nothing scientifically objective about that decision process. Mostly those decisions aren’t made by people living next door to landfills and mines."
