Brain: Must work, write & prepare slides for dissertation defense in just 3 weeks! 😬

Puppy: But look at me! ❤️ (And if you don’t I’ll surely get up to more mischief) 🐾

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

a moment of crisis of rational choice theory. Dissertation or Puppy? Which one to choose?
in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

Simple solution: explain your dissertation defense to your puppy as you work on it. Your puppy won't understand things any better, but it might help you think

I've been using the regular release since its first release. Great and underrated distribution in my opinion. I have three systems (two desktops and one Notebook) running Kubuntu 23.10 right now. I hope Plasma 6 will be available via an ppa soon.

@ntnsndr talking with @Rushkoff on #TeamHumanShow about this and more on the launch of his new book, #GovernableSpaces just made my day. I’m getting a few copies for our local library and high school.

Also, Rushkoff's observations are often hilariously apt, like the one about smoking weed behind the 7-11 as an example of a homeplace created in the shadow of an exploitative institution...

This new #palmoil tool does not include a single brand from #India #China #Indonesia or #Malaysia, the four largest consumption markets for palm oil, accounting for the majority of demand, and, likely, an even greater percentage of deforestation due to lax due diligence requirements.

We're not going to solve supply chain deforestation by only focusing on global north demand.

@MxAlba @palmoildetectives The efficiency/productivity/yield argument is an inaccurate and dangerous #palmoil industry talking point. I did a piece exploring this back in 2021

how do we use the new drivers in say, Ubuntu, or Arch, or Mint, for example? Would love to give them a try, I have an RTX 2060 Super, so would probably be perfect for testing.

Hey Jen, if you know any political cartoonists looking for gigs, send them my way. See my profile for cartoons I had done last year. Thanks.

@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.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

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.

Rust Lang ENDORSED By The US Government!?! #Linux #YouTube youtu.be/ujN7d-1REoU
in reply to Brodie Robertson

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.

It'd be great if I'm just paranoid thpugh

in reply to Brodie Robertson

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.

If these are not expired those are pretty good prices. Which store is it?

Bookstores should ditch the short-term thinking of efficiency & bring back big, comfy reading chairs (which help make life-long readers). “Reading made me a reader, but so did having a place that allowed that experience to be pure, self-directed…” lithub.com/bring-back-the-big-…
in reply to kottke.org

When my local B&N removed comfy chairs, I stopped going.
in reply to kottke.org

And clothing/department stores should have benches! Want me not to rush my kids/wife through the shopping process? Want them to browse and pick out a couple extra items? Give me a comfy bench to relax on.
