@plantabaja si! quiero leer libros para niños, y ver Sesame Street en español también. cuales libros son buenos?

@greg_harvey @mig5 I'm actually taking in-person classes at a local adult school. It seems way better than trying to teach myself alone -- but also, a lot of work and huge time commitment if I want to actually get more fluent

@huertanix
Puedo probar!

I've been trying to learn Spanish for a long time, doing Duolingo, taking beginner classes. But it's hard and so much work and maybe I should quit for awhile and be content that at least I'm good at computer languages

@sid @MadestMadness

They keybase client is open source, but it is a centralized service and (I think?) the server is proprietary.

Here's the issue though to discuss the multiple logged-in accounts at once feature: https://github.com/keybase/client/issues/8586 -- looks like it is stalled, but I hope they implement it

@greenblue
Huh. It doesn't seem to me that keybase has any "access", there's just API integration. I can see nervousness around choosing to integrate with a centralized service though. I personally think it's a good development, and is useful in being able to trust that fediverse accounts aren't fakes

@greenblue
Because they're only choosing to allow bigger instances, instead of all instances?

Judith Clark, a former Weather Underground radical who drove the getaway car in a deadly 1981 Brink’s heist — in which two police officers and a guard were killed — was granted parole after serving more than 37 years in a New York prison https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/judith-clark-former-weather-underground-radical-granted-parole-new-york-n995651

@doesntgolf yeah it's disappointing

In this interview Pete Buttigieg says he's "troubled by" Obama's decision to commute Chelsea Manning's sentence. And he agrees Snowden exposed abuses but said "the way for that to come out is through Congressional oversight, not through breach of classified information."

@amanjeev
Ahoy!

The associated article, by Naomi Klein, is also worth reading. It digs into the history of the New Deal and the role art played in the 1930s https://theintercept.com/2019/04/17/green-new-deal-short-film-alexandria-ocasio-cortez/

This 7-minute utopian sci-fi film, narrated by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and animated by Molly Crabapple, is very good. It imagines a future where we decide to take climate change seriously and, through the Green New Deal, work to change everything about our society https://youtu.be/d9uTH0iprVQ

@nedelne_rano it's an end-to-end encrypted messaging app, but with team chatroom features that make it more similar Slack. And it has a cloud storage filesystem, including for each team (like Dropbox), and git repo hosting. Except unlike Slack, Dropbox, or Github, all of your Keybase data is encrypted using keys Keybase doesn't have access to. Not enough services are actually zero knowledge, and Keybase is doing cool shit in this area

@carlo hey there!
