Galculator is a calculator app available in Debian. Debian 10 comes with version 2.1.4.
I seem to have found an odd bug in the software, so am documenting here to see if others can reproduce.
The display should be able to handle numbers bigger than 999. However it seems that is not the case if you use a separator (,) in between big numbers (which is designed to make it easier to read)
Consider
1,000,000 vs 1000000
This shows the software working as expected.
After setting a comma ( , ) as a Separator and entering a long number, we get a problem with the display.
According to the Debian tracker bullseye will have 2.1.4-1.1.
I am not sure if this happens in Debian 11, but I am just reporting this here, I can take a video later on, but that will just illustrate the same as above.
I would guess this can be reported to the Bug Tracking System if it can be reproduced.

A few years ago, I found that there was not an up-to-date presentation for the upcoming release of Debian at the time. I therefore set about creating one.
This is now an ongoing project, my personal remit is to keep this updated by researching information about the upcoming release(s) of Debian. The next release is Debian 11 (Bullseye) as this is now frozen then I am working on the update.
Presentation is in Beamer, which is a LaTeX package for creating presentations. I am however using Overleaf to create the document.
I am on IRC (oftc) as zleap if anyone wants to discuss further. I will also be at the DebConf Planning meeting on the 24th.
Invidious is a front end to Youtube that strips out tracking and other 'unwanted' and 'unnecessary' features that impact on user privacy. To use the invidious front end you first need the Youtube video URL for example:
Creative Education : Spot and Support Speech, Language & Communication Needs 16/5/2021
This weeks short course is Spot and Support Speech, Language & Communication Needs.
This is a course for anyone new to Speech, Language and Communication Needs and wanting to find out more about them. It aims to give you the basics so that you can start to identify pupils who may be displaying tendencies and work with those pupils to support their needs. We’ll therefore give you advice and simple ideas you can put into practice straight away and approaches to adapt and trial. It may be that the pupil needs further support so we’ll talk about what other avenues you may want to pursue. Great for teachers new to the profession, support staff or anyone wanting to check their understanding and support pupils to have the best possible outcomes.
I am starting to make some videos on different subjects and using Big Blue Button to produce video presentations. This is actually my second attempt at the same video.
The presentation [1] discusses the reaction of Lithium with water. While the video below [2] looks at the element Lithium in more detail. I have included a link to periodic table of videos [3] so that you can check out the other elements in group 1.
