I am no expert on how precomputed shaders work but are they not specific to the GPU model you are running on? If so wouldn't that cause more pain than gain unless you are running an rdna 2 GPU?

You've seen package managers
You've seen piping curl into bash
But have you ever seen sourcing a script from curl every time you launch the shell
in reply to Brodie Robertson

I do enjoy making spawning a new shell dependant on network connectivity.

Gives it that real living on the cloud feeling.

Just saw thisโ€”my #GovernableSpaces interview with the great theorist and journalist of technology Mike Masnick is up and out on the Techdirt Podcast: techdirt.com/2024/04/09/techdiโ€ฆ

I hugely admire Mike's grounded thinking on protocols and decentralization. This was a really fun conversation.



I guess I can just give up now, my channel is complete

@Christoph S @Cass M ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿฝ Yes the sprinkler Malte has already met. Both with strong curiosity and some caution - since they were the large ones that work the Sanssouci Park lawns, working with a lot of pressure. ^^
in reply to Muse

One of our dogs was afraid of the hose, in all forms. Then he grew up. We would find him under the sprinkler spray, soaking it up.
Still didn't like being hosed off, but it was a change that brought a smile. And got the towels out.



Post from @rabble on why he's chosen to use #Nostr and not #ActivityPub and the #Fediverse. He makes some compelling points. Personally I am not too worried about the server admin parts of his argument (I have enough control, even if I don't control the server), but I agree that this isn't ideal:

"You canโ€™t use a single fediverse identity with your profile and followers in Peertube, Mobilizon, WriteFreely, and Pixelfed. You need a totally separate account in each one."

in reply to Richard MacManus

Pixelfed and Mastodon are not isolated from each other. I have Pixelfed users in my home feed on Mastodon. That's a very weird definition of isolated. Mastodon has search too. Phanpy has a catch-up algorithm. I don't find the arguments in the post compelling.

'In the 1920s, an American professor named Ivan Wallin (1883โ€“1969) published a string of articles and a book about mitochondria. Wallinโ€™s day job was teaching anatomy to medical students at the University of Colorado, but he was also fascinated by cell biology. Over the course of a decade, Wallin forged the concept of โ€œsymbionticism,โ€ whereby speciation in animals and plants is triggered by the acquisition of bacterial symbionts. Wallin believed that mitochondria were such symbionts and had evidence to prove itโ€”his publications included camera lucida drawings of โ€œmitochondriaโ€ growing happily on agar plates!'

I've been too burnt out doing the comic, needed to draw something else to stretch the brain.

So I started to do portraits of characters. This is the vox of the city, her mentor is the lingering whisper of a city that isn't in this world anymore.

Good morning to Vance! As long as he doesn't call a *faculty* meeting...?! Retired early from William & Mary to write; pleased to be following you from across the state.

Here's an example of one of Ziltch's stories:
I don't know ASL, so am quite curious how the signer manages to communicate the story?
Ziltch (Terry Foy is his non-stage name) has several stories he presents each year at the Renaissance Faires around the country. I've attended his shows since high school, every time he comes to town. He's hilarious!

The term "Spoonerism" comes from Reverend William Spooner who had a speech impediment which embarrassed him greatly but made him a favorite speaker of his students. Students who were not in his classes would attend his lectures in the hopes of hearing one of his "Spoonerisms" when he switched syllables unintentionally. "The queer old dean" instead of "the dear old Queen", for example.

in reply to Muse

Ziltch is SO GOOD! Thank you for sharing the link!


The 30-year hunt to find the Priscilla, Queen of the Desert bus: โ€˜My jaw was on the groundโ€™


"Iโ€™ve heard it so many times โ€“ โ€˜Iโ€™ve got the bus!โ€™ โ€“ that it gets boring,โ€ says Stephan Elliott, the director and writer of The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. When the History Trust got in touch to see if he could help verify the busโ€™s authenticity, he was sceptical.

โ€œBut I was astonished when they showed me the photos,โ€ he says. โ€œI said, โ€˜Thereโ€™s two things I need to see: the carpet and if there is a side-railing on the roof.โ€™ They sent more photos and I immediately said, โ€˜Thatโ€™s it. You got her.โ€™ My jaw was just on the ground.โ€
