I was recently honored to receive the Berryman Award for editorial cartooning from the National Press Foundation. Sharing a couple pics from the awards dinner in Washington, DC. I had a great time (and got to meet Al Roker!)
@Yoshi Most cartoonists I know just draw their own ideas, but I appreciate that you are offering to pay artists and advocate for causes through cartoons.

@KO6YQ @fdroidorg If you don't want to use the Play Store, you can also download an APK directly from our GitHub releases page. The F-Droid package is managed by F-Droid and seems to be a few versions behind.
OK, thanks. It isn't that I don't want to use Play Store. I wanted to support the Open Source project. So this thread has already brought the polite ping to the attention of @fdroidorg . It looks like their automated build got stuck, and maybe they needed to know about it.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL, the US government is endorsing Rust Lang. Ok that's kind of joke but they did recently release a press release and report about the impo...
I actually agree that memory safe languages should be used more often. But my worry is that someone takes that general principal as an absolute.
As in rejecting projects made by C because the US government said so. Policy makers who don't understand what is going on could draft stupid legislation, businesses (or other such entities) with non programmer leads could make stupid policy.
Way overdue, we should really have been doing this 20 years ago. I think a big missing piece in this sage is that things like C created a kind of path dependency where we couldn't have nice things like operating systems with GCs (Microsoft Research's Singularity, for example) because they had to be compatible with legacy C code. A call for a big research push back then to overcome that C legacy would have been welcome. At least now we have Rust.
Can you believe it? Proton, the compatibility layer that allows Windows games to run on Steam Deck / Linux PCs didn't actually have a proper logo for over 5 years.
I just saw it while updating proton, now I know why. When I saw it, I thought why I never saw it, probably didn't load before properly. You know like loading in video games 😀
Last Epoch recently released on Steam with Native Linux support, an offline mode and controller support but the developers at Eleventh Hour Games plan to keep improving it all.
is the native version on par with Proton ? Back during EA, running the game with Proton was much better than the native one. I did not even bother trying it with the 1.0 release.

Veloren, the free and open source action-adventure role-playing voxel game made in Rust keeps evolving. Since its last public v0.15 release in July 2023, much has changed and lots of improvements were made so far.
Valve just recently launched a big stable update to the Steam Client for both Steam Deck and Desktop PCs, which has come with one big issue for Steam Deck.
I feel like a lot more people use this feature than we think. I always see complaints and people asking for help. Hope Valve puts in some time to get it to a good place.
The KDE team announced "MegaRelease 6", a big upgrade that includes Plasma 6, Frameworks 6 and Gear 24.02 with tons of improvements to this popular desktop environment that's used on the Steam Deck for Desktop Mode.
ABC Classic FM is about to play Beethoven's first symphony. I LOVE Beethoven's music. During finals week at university I used to play all of his symphonies in a row while I was studying. However, as a kid I avoided one of the symphonies my parents owned. It was a vinyl record of the Eroica symphony with a funky seventies cover. I thought it was my parent's "sexy time" album! Eroica...Erotica, pretty close!

In July 1995 South Africa’s new parliament passed a law authorising the formation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
The Commission, chaired by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, was appointed in December 1995. The central purpose of the Commission was to promote re-conciliation and forgiveness among perpetrators and victims of apartheid. The Commission was charged with three specific tasks: to discover the causes and nature of human rights violations in South Africa between 1960 and 1994; to identify victims with a view to paying reparations; and to allow amnesty to those who fully disclosed their involvement in politically motivated human rights violations.

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC)
In July 1995 South Africa’s new parliament passed a law authorising the formation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
The Commission, chaired by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, was appointed in December 1995. The central purpose of the Commission was to promote re-conciliation and forgiveness among perpetrators and victims of apartheid. The Commission was charged with three specific tasks: to discover the causes and nature of human rights violations in South Africa between 1960 and 1994; to identify victims with a view to paying reparations; and to allow amnesty to those who fully disclosed their involvement in politically motivated human rights violations.
Quick Facts ~ The central purpose of the Commission was to promote reconciliation and forgiveness among perpetrators and victims of apartheid by the full disclosure of truth. ~ The apartheid government was found by the TRC to be the main perpetrator of gross human rights violations. ~ The TRC took the testimony of approximately 21 000 victims; 2 000 of these appeared in public hearings.
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) was a court-like body assembled in South Africa after the end of Apartheid. Anybody who felt they had been a victim of violence could come forward and be heard at the TRC. Perpetrators of violence could also give testimony and request amnesty from prosecution. The hearings made international news and many sessions were broadcast on national television. The TRC was a crucial component of the transition to full and free democracy in South Africa and, despite some flaws, is generally regarded as very successful. Creation and Mandate The TRC was set up in terms of the Promotion of National Unity and Reconciliation Act , No 34 of 1995, and was based in Cape Town. The mandate of the commission was to bear witness to, record and in some cases grant amnesty to the perpetrators of crimes relating to human rights violations, reparation and rehabilitation.
The South African TRC represented a major departure from the approach taken at the Nürnberg trials. It was hailed as an innovative model for building peace and justice and for holding accountable those guilty of human rights violations. At the same time, it laid the foundation for building reconciliation among all South Africans.
“There can be no future unless there is peace. There can be no peace unless there is reconciliation.” ~ Desmond Tutu
“True reconciliation exposes the awfulness, the abuse, the pain, the hurt, the truth." ~Desmond Tutu
Retributive justice focuses on assigning consequences to those individuals who have committed a crime. Restorative justice focuses on repairing the harm done by the perpetrator and rebuilding that person's relationship with the victim and society.

Looking at the rhetoric of their (Nintendo's) claims, the language deliberately states that Nintendo has a monopoly over the software that runs on their console. Given all of the "anti-gatekeeper" legal initiatives that have taken hold in Europe, it will be interesting to see if Nintendo isn't implicated due to their own language and practices.

Then you have better luck than me. "Dropping a gatling here" - Gatling gets immediately destroyed with an air strike. "I need help over here!" - gets bombed by own teammates with grenades. "ordering Machinegun" - gun gets taken by other player.

What kind of button would your brain, neurodiverse or otherwise, like to have made? What gesture does your hand/other body part want to do to activate something (technologically)? What material do you find pleasant? What shape should such a button have? What is the scale?
shapez 2 is absolutely going to be a big success when it hits Early Access later this year, and you can try out the demo for a good while longer now so the developer can ensure they get it right.
