NEW: Federal judge blocks Trump admin's effort to move 14 trans women to men's prisons.
"[I]t is fundamentally unreasonable for prison officials to respond to serious risks ... by intentionally creating those risks and offering to treat them after they predictably occur."

Linux Mint / Libre Office Help!
Is there a dictation software (🚨supporting Swedish!🚨) that I can get for LibreOffice to save my hands when I'm note-taking for granny's diaries?
Boosts appreciated!

I spent quite a bit of time on BlueSky for several months and found that if you’re a nobody there is close to no engagement. If you’re a somebody, the platform laps it up.
But on Mastodon the conversation flows irrespective of who you are.
I know where I’d rather be https://fediscience.org/@kathhayhoe/116065653289142235
For a long time, Twitter was the best place to share and find the latest science. Until the algorithm changed, that is. Overnight, my posts went from thousands to dozens of views, while the trolling I received skyrocketed. Instead of tens of hateful replies, I started getting thousands of them. Where were scientists supposed to go? I tried Mastodon, LinkedIn, and other platforms: but nothing really clicked. Then along came Bluesky. It takes a while to regrow a community: but a new survey of 830 scientists by @[email protected] and Julia Wester now finds that "for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter." If you're interested, you can find me (and my 20+ climate starter packs) here: https://bsky.app/profile/katharinehayhoe.com Read more about their study here: https://academic.oup.com/icb/article-abstract/65/3/538/8196180?login=false
