I need a quick bit of help from my medievalist peeps: can anyone take a picture of p. 5 of Riley Smith’s "The First Crusaders"? I need to check a capitalization question for a direct quote. #medievalbluesky

Thanks!

two points here: 1. he thinks he is smarter than you are; even now he is reading these comments and thinks he has fooled everyone. 2. he will never be ashamed of this - on the contrary this behavior will be something he brags about for years, and those in his circle will respect him for it.

I want to triple like this comment. Soooooo entitled and smug.

Who can tell. He’s offended he even has to be there.

the disdain is enraging. and sad. What a sad little person he will become, once youth has left him

It's worth watching the deposition videos. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiDc...

Even when the answer to this inane ChatGPT prompt was "no," projects were still cancelled for no apparent reason. Like our project on La sfera:

I had some high hopes that Gemini 3 would be able to handle the (slightly boring) financial records from early 15th century Florence. Alas.

I have a recipe for a ridiculously easy jam tart that tastes like a cookie if you are so inclined

I am at a loss as to why this video thing is a problem. Two things can exist at the same time; videos can do one thing and books/articles/conference papers can do another. Hey, you could even do both - or neither - or more of some and less of the other! No need to live in a world of binaries.

are you coming to RSA? If so, I hope to see you!

Just doing things is the way to go. You will find the support with product in hand. Courage!

Open Datasets For Medieval Studies – ODFMS is a showcase of world-class research on the Middle Ages in dataset format.

This is a great article, and very much in line with the project my co-editors @byzcapp.bsky.social and @jwtorg.bsky.social and I just put forth in Digital Philology, especially for medievalists. Hope this reinforces some of your assertions! odfms.hcommons.org

unfuck google drive by shooting gemini
Hey folks! Google is fucking you via sneaky enshittification again!
Want the shit in your google drive to load instantly again, instead of taking for-fucking-ever?
Open your gdrive (web OR app)
Settings > Manage Apps
Gemini was checked "use as default" (and i sure the fuck didn't set it that way, this was a silent push)
Nuke that, and suddenly, folders that took up to a minute to populate and sort do so in a fraction of a second.

Some verbal connections depending on what you are doing

ICE berg lettuce/ Lettuce melt the ICE berg

Cabbage can also mean money, so "That'$ a lotta cabbage to keep Americans on ICE" or something like that.

Chou/ French for cabbage, can sound like "shoo!"

Slaw/ It's_law

Good luck!

Oooh, thank you. we are anticipating a second phase that would focus on the maps/image/iconography found in many of the 160+ manuscript copies; a transatlantic partner would be helpful indeed!

wow. that is some harsh language. let's hope that is a good sign.

We at the La sfera project have absolutely no idea what triggered ours. It's the digital editio of a 15th-century Italian cosmological and geographical poem. If it had a political grounding at all, I'd say it was far more to the right than the left.
