@Gargron I regularly get into this mode of the web user interface. With no way to exit, except refreshing the whole page. Maybe somebody should take a look at that from UX point if view… 🤔
Actually I don’t even know what the function is supposed to do. It happens when I’m reading messages, not trying to upload anything at all.
On a mobile device. No files being dragged at all. And no escape button either.
I’m not sure how it get’s triggered. Just the usual thick fingers on a tiny screen trying to scroll situation. 😉

‘We are going to be left with nothing’: Indigenous communities battle deforestation in Honduras
Miskito and other groups face a dire challenge as illegal deforestation threatens their ancestral lands and cultureJeff Ernst (The Guardian)
Deforestation in #Colombia falls to lowest level in 23 years theguardian.com/world/article/…
"The amount of #forest loss fell from 1,235 sq km in 2022 to 792 sq km in 2023 – a 36% decrease... Most of the environmental gains were in the #Amazon #rainforest, where the Colombian government is focusing much of its conservation efforts... Runaway #deforestation has been reined in and reversed under Gustavo Petro’s government, the first leftist administration in Colombia’s history."

Talking to your infant is likely a modern phenomenon.
"It’s commonly thought that young children learn language through speech directed at them. However, new research shows that children learn language just as well by overhearing others speaking around them. While children in developed countries often learn their native tongues through a direct approach, children in indigenous societies learn via overhearing. This has prompted researchers to theorize that for much of human history, children learned language indirectly. There may be ramifications of altering the way we’ve historically learned language, perhaps on attention and broader learning styles."
Talking to your infant is likely a modern phenomenon. Here’s why.
For most of human history, babies probably picked up language by overhearing.Ross Pomeroy (Big Think)

I have to say that I've been kind of looking forward to this.
I saw this project being mentioned in the talk about "Linux Gaming beyond Steam" at the Ubuntu Summit, so I've been keeping tabs on it.

@grammargirl As of a few days ago I can’t download Grammar Girl podcast episodes due to a certificate issue. I don’t know if this means anything to you, but the url my podcast app uses to download episodes is podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/m…
Do you have a different “official” feed url? Maybe I’m pulling from a bad source.
Thanks for the heads-up! We've been trying to solve a problem someone else was having with the feed, and I'm wondering if something else got messed up.
Can you tell me what app you're using?
I am using AntennaPod.
I just noticed it shows this url as the source for the Grammar Girl feed: feeds.simplecast.com/XcH2p3Ah
The url I gave previously was part of the url for the actual episode download.
