Não fotografei os boletins mas aconteceu!

Havia filas, o que é bom sinal.
Atenção aos idosos, de pé, à espera. 🪑

E uma sugestão de leitura para depois do voto. 😏

Nerd time.

Zettlr is an open-source writing tool that I've used for years. It's great.

Coolest feature: You can hyperlink your notes offline. Check it out.

E pronto…… aqui começa oficialmente a thread dos trabalhos de um membro de mesa, numas eleições autárquicas. Desta vez, calhou-me ser presidente, pelo que o trabalho começa de véspera. Recolher o material necessário para que a mesa funcione (sim, boletins de voto incluídos).

Vou fazer thread, como de costume. Com as operações do princípio ao fim.
Desta vez, como presidente (tenho sido sempre vice), há mais coisas a fazer e demora-se mais.
Para já, na véspera, toca-me a mim ir levantar o material (boletins, editais, livros de atas, material de apoio, etc.).

Another place that has received a glow-up for the upcoming Zettlr 4.0 is the statistics window. We've improved the calendar view with a proper heatmap, and the chart view with a proper, readable bar chart that is easier to parse.

If you read one book during #Bannedbooksweek read Burning the Books by Bodley’s Librarian @richove.bsky.social. The strongest wake up call yet that we need to stand up for our intellectual freedoms!
