  1. Pronto llega una nueva actualización de mi respin no oficial de Loc-OS con LXQt 🎉. Logré reducir el tamaño final, mejorar la compatibilidad EFI y bajar el consumo ⚙️💡. #Linux #LocOS #LXQt #Respin

  2. Today's historic photo of the day: near-new 1500V DC loco 8649 heads the Perth-bound 'Indian Pacific' at Katoomba, NSW, January 26 1986

    Fifty 86 class electric #locos were built between 1983 and 1985 to haul freight and long distance passenger trains west from Sydney to Lithgow over the Blue Mountains, north from Sydney to Broadmeadow on the then newly extended electrification of that line, and eventually also to Port Kembla. Whilst technically successful, most of these beasts had short lives.

  4. Loc-OS ya esta en DistroWatch!!, una distro Linux Argentino/Uruguaya, por el creador Nicolás Longardi y su mano derecha José Leiva, 2 groxos, que crearon una distro fantástica. Se las recomiendo para todo tipo de equipos, pero en especial para equipos de bajos recursos, netbooks, o equipos que muchos tirarían. Es excelente la distro. Felicitaciones a sus creadores!

  10. HABLEMOS DE LA SOLEDAD | LuisBermejo.com 06x26
    Hablar de la soledad es algo que no se hace a menudo. Pero encararla y analizarla menos aún. Salvo que la soledad sea buscada, a nadie realmente le gusta estar en soledad durante todo el día.

  13. Any train experts who can shed some more light on this graffiti depiction of a loco, almost certainly seen on the line below the bridge on which this is inscribed in slate at Porth Penrhyn, then exporting from the world's largest slate quarry at Bethesda, north Wales.

    Any info will be included in the Historical Environment Record, so more than idle curiosity!

    Thanks!

  14. Took some pics yesterday of my small Lovers Communication System keyboard prototype.
    It will help me to explore how to type with a corpus of 800 combination glyphs. I have many other ideas but you have to start somewhere 🤔

  15. Back in the workshop today to finish my first #LoCoS keyboard prototype! I still have the software part to finish as well but it is really exciting to explore new ways of thinking about writing in the digital age.

    Took me some time to do it because my assistant was really picky and wanted to validate all my design choices.

  16. I was in a fablab for work today so I took the opportunity to cut some LoCoS lettering guide prototypes. It needs a little clean up but it works I think.

  19. I will document everything when I have digested it and share it on the website dedicated to LoCos launched last month.
    But first, I still have a lot to do on this website, as many things need to be polished in terms of content and functionalities...😅

    I just wanted to share some bites with you here.

    Oh, and I have many other things to share about my trip stay tuned

  20. We have also talked about digitalization, as I understand now how he has constructed all LoCoS shapes and how I should improve mine. He still has a sharp mind and a good eye.
    He grew up in a kimono shop owned by his family and was surrounded by Japanese family Crest design. He still owns catalogs, this one has a hundred years old I think.

  21. He invited me to his apartment full of documentation about language systems, pictogram design, and his research on LoCoS when he was working on one of the first courses in the world on pictogram design at Zokei University around 1966. I had to buy a portable scanner to scan his postcard sized archives full of drawings for my own research and only had the time to scan a drop in the ocean.

  22. I had the chance to exchange with him on multiple occasions during this month, listen to his life, and explore his archives together. He was really kind and humble about his career and was always eager to make me discover new things as he did during all his personal life and with his students, even with his current health issues.

  23. I haven't taken the time yet to talk about it, but I was in Japan 🇯🇵 last month and just came back few days ago!
    It was not really planned, but following the Symbol Group Conference, where I presented my work on The Lovers Communication System's ongoing digitalization, the genius designer behind it Yukio Ota opened me his door and I couldn't miss the chance of meeting him.

  28. When you see LoCoS, you might think about Blissymbols. While Bliss chose to develop a written language, the invention of Ota combines shape, meaning, and sound so that it can be spoken.
    Another main difference between the two systems is the vision of its creator. While Bliss wanted to keep control of his language and live from royalty, Ota knew he couldn't handle it by himself, asking for help to work on his creation with others. Accessibility is key.

  30. The Lovers Communication System is a pictorial language created by the genius Japanese designer Yukio Ota in 1964. You may know him as the main designer behind the ISO symbol Exit Sign, which has been adopted worldwide.

    His goal was to create a universal language that is easy to read, write, and remember, based on a combination of symbols and pictograms.

  34. Today's historic #photo of the day: Diesel #locos 4506, 4514 and 4490 shunt in the yard at Canberra, ACT, December 7 1985.

    The 45 class are Alco-powered locos built for NSW railways by AE Goodwin, Alco's Australian licensee, between 1962 and 1964. Following the success of the first sixty 44 class (1957-1961) the NSW Railways opted for locos with the newer Alco 251C engine instead of the 251B in the 44 class, and to change to a hood body style instead of the full width carbody of the 44 class.

    El Tribunal Penal Internacional (TPI) ha pedido este lunes la emisión de órdenes de arresto contra el primer ministro de Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, su ministro de Defensa, Yoav Gallant, y varios altos cargos del Movimiento de Resistencia Islámica (Hamás) por crímenes de guerra y contra la humanidad a raíz de los ataques del 7 de octubre por parte del grupo islamista y la posterior ofensiva militar contra la Franja de Gaza. El fiscal jefe del TPI, Karim Khan, ha afirmado en un comunicado que las órdenes de arresto contra Netanyahu y Gallant derivan de los "motivos razonables" para creer que "tienen responsabilidad penal" en crímenes de guerra y crímenes contra la humanidad "cometidos en el territorio del Estado de Palestina, en la Franja de Gaza, al menos desde el 8 de octubre".

    "Hasta ahora he dudado en dar la voz de alarma. Pero a riesgo de que me tachen de loco, debo, como acto de responsabilidad política, decirlo en voz alta: Israel se precipita hacia el abismo y arrastra al resto del mundo con él.

    Un análisis racional de la situación actual debe partir de este hecho fundamental: Israel es un Estado loco. No un «mal actor». No un régimen «canalla». Es un Estado loco. El abanico completo de la opinión de la élite israelí, reflejo a su vez de la sociedad israelí en general (que apoya abrumadoramente la guerra genocida en Gaza; ...), abarca un mero salto de pulga:

    𝐄𝐧 𝐮𝐧 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐨 𝐬𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐭ú𝐚𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐬 «𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐬», [...] 𝐄𝐧 𝐞𝐥 𝐨𝐭𝐫𝐨 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐨 𝐞𝐬𝐭á𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐨𝐬 𝐝𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞, ..."

  38. A propósito del video escrachando la FLISoL que sacaron estos dos youtubers (youtube.com/watch?v=dOYoUdEKSI), esta es mi respuesta que de inmediato bloquearon, así que la dejo acá públicamente, para que la lean, ya que público era el video que ellos publicaron. Me da bronca cuando alguien quiere socavar y bastardear un proyecto de divulgación como lo es la FLISoL en el área del software libre. No me gusta decir las cosas que he hecho, ni alardear de mi humilde currículum que a mis 42 pirulos podría estar mucho mejor, pero como la ocasión amerita, creo que puedo decir que tengo algo de experiencia en divulgación, organización de congresos y gestión de grupos de trabajo. Trabajé 17 años en el Observatorio astronómico Los Molinos donde 7 de esos 17, fui encargado, con personal a cargo, organizando innumerable cantidad de actividades de divulgación, publicando materiales con licencias CC, fui jurado en tribunales de secundaria y jurado en al menos 2 concursos fotográficos, soy co-autor de un libro de astronomía para 4º año de secundaria que usan los docentes hoy en día, trabajo en formación docente desde hace 10 años, he dado cursos de perfeccionamiento a docentes desde hace muchos años en el CFE y el IPES, y también he sido líder en delegaciones de olimpiadas de astronomía acompañando a estudiantes a Bolivia, Brasil y mismo acá en Uruguay y evaluador en Ferias Nacionales de Clubes de Ciencia. He participado en las FLISoL por lo menos del año 2008 en adelante y mi primera charla en una de ellas, fue en 2011, hace 13 años. He organizado eventos como la fiesta lanzamiento de Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx en Facultad de Ciencias y debo haber participado al menos en la organización de unos 10 congresos de astronomía nacionales y algunos regionales, como el Taller de Ciencias Planetarias en Maldonado y la la Reunión Regional Latinoamericana de la IAU siendo moderador e integrando el comité organizador local y aparte de todo eso, sostengo un servidor autogestionado desde hace casi 10 años, entonces me molesta un poco que un par de fantasmas hagan una pataleta (puedo entender al pibe, pero el docente deja mucho que desear), denostando a nuestra hermosa FLISoL. Espero que se disculpen públicamente, pero lo dudo porque parece que están ocultando todo, mi comentario, esta captura de su canal de Telegram, pero la información quiere ser libre. Discúlpense y vengan a presentar sus contribuciones el año que viene a la FLISoL #youtubers #flisol #escrache #entropiabinaria #locos #loc-os
