How we do astrophotography with an old phone?

Cerro del Hierro, a very nice place where we stayed for a few days and were able to capture perhaps the most amazing nigthsky timelapse. Us, a bench, and the rest of the universe. And we explain how we do these photos/timelapses.
We were also invaded by goats and Sasha went for a small hike between the beautiful rocks.

AI, Assessment, and the Automation of Judgement
If AI can write essays, mark them, and generate feedback, what does that say about the way we assess learning?
In this post, I explore how the use of AI in education does not just disrupt assessment - it reveals how mechanised our judgement already is. What happens when machines are better at performing the tasks we use to define student achievement?
Is this a crisis, or an invitation to reimagine assessment altogether?

A retro-futuristic illustration of a humanoid AI figure observing a student through a glowing interface, symbolising surveillance, judgement, and the automation of learning in a digital classroom setting.
I've been trying to boost more these days.
Not just my own toots, but also ones by friends and friends of friends.
I know this is a small account and it won't have much impact.
But maybe new folks will find it, find me, and we'll be able to connect and... I'll be able to share more cool things!
I'm using Raccoon for Friendica, and sometimes I miss the alt text logo on images. Raccoon doesn't warn me when I try to boost something without alt text. I always try to boost things that include alt texts. So I apologize if I miss it and sometimes boost things without it.
Although I don't really check the quality of the alt texts as my spoons are low... 😔
Hope you'll have a lovely time! #TZAG

We found a super nice motorhome area with services (including electricity) for 6 euros/night, but getting out of there was a bit tricky:

I also found some donkeys and nice scenery in the hills surrounding Fuente del Arco :)
The best paid parking? And can we get out?
Fuente De was a surprisingly good paid parking. Just 6 euros for parking, water, and electricity. But when we tried to get out we realized that the only way out was uphill and near a big hole that was not there when we parked. It was really difficult to get the motorhome out of there... But we really liked that place in terms of motorhome parking.

5 jaar na de politiemoord op George Floyd:
Wat is er in Nederland veranderd?
In de samenleving heeft #BLM veel voor elkaar gekregen.
In de politiek volgde de omgekeerde beweging:
politiegeweld is in NL zo goed als straffeloos gemaakt, door Black Lives Matter roepende (!) politici.

#BlackLivesMatter? Nederland maakt politiegeweld straffeloos
Alle politici zijn tegen racistisch politiegeweld! En daarom… maken ze dat geweld makkelijker.Grutjes!

I just wanted to share some photos of my #garden after the rain. A #rewilded lawn, some #vegetablegarden pictures, a (still drying) pond, a young pear tree and a very young #tea tree surrounded by daylilies and goutweed. All mulched, sheltered with a #hedge and watered and fed by ash trees and Judas'trees.
The lawn itself is a young #orchard in progress, a young olive tree can be seen above the grasses and you might spot a persimmon behind the pink lupin.
I have a little #question about the Judas'trees : I have learned their seed pods are #edible, but if you are used to #foraging which recipe do you use for #cooking them ?
Have a nice evening !

Fankoos 🫶🏻 to all that followed me (back)! 💜 I really appreciate it!! 😁
I'll do my best to boost my toots on this account, to boost toots of you all, my Friendos, and to occasionally share some bits and bops! 😁
But I'm at the gym now, so it's time to write my journal Toot... 😉
Catch you all later! 🌹

in reply to Oleastre • •Edible Parts of the Judas Tree
Flowers: The vibrant pink flowers bloom in spring and have a sweet-acid taste. They can be eaten raw in salads, pickled, or used as a garnish. Some sources mention that the flower buds can be pickled and used as a condiment.
Young Seed Pods: The immature green pods are tender and can be eaten raw or cooked. They have a mildly sweet taste and can be added to salads, stir-fries, or pickled.
Young Leaves: The young, tender leaves can be consumed raw in salads or cooked. They have a mild flavor and can be used similarly to spinach or other leafy greens.
