Paweł MasarczykIt took a while but the developer has finally added the required accessibility enhancements so I can finally share a fun little game called Language Guessr. You're given a short audio recording and it is your task to guess what language it is in. Should you give the wrong answer, you have the option to hear a sample recording in the language you indicated so that you can learn the difference. A great little toy for language geeks. There's an edit combobox at the top to search for the country so that you don't have to navigate the map view which doesn't work with screen readers. Happy playing! https://languageguessr.io/ #Accessibility #A11y #Blind #Languages

"This is the largest and most detailed photo ever taken of a work of art. It is 717 gigapixels, or 717,000,000,000 pixels, in size.
The distance between two pixels is 5 micrometres (0.005 millimetre), which means that one pixel is smaller than a human red blood cell.
The team used a 100-megapixel Hasselblad H6D 400 MS-camera to make 8439 individual photos measuring 5.5cm x 4.1cm. Artificial intelligence was used to stitch these smaller photographs together to form the final large image, with a total file size of 5.6 terabytes."

Today is the feast day of Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179), here surrounded by plants & a mineral she touted as medical treatments, her invented alphabet & model of the universe. One of my most popular prints this year!
Her writings preserve not only her own knowledge & theories but the nature of institutional #medicine & folk healing of her day (which she deftly combined). While she might be best remembered today as a composer
