Happy birthday to #geochemist Charles David Keeling (1928 - 2005) whose decades long observations of CO2 in air samples from Mauna Loa Observatory were some of the 1st direct data to show the human contribution to greenhouse effect & global warming. The 'Keeling Curve' (in copper & red) shows both the seasonal variations (the wiggles) & the strong upward trend with time as the greenhouse gas built up in the atmosphere. ๐งต1/

As part of our commitment to supporting the growth and operational capabilities of Mastodon, we have established a 501(c)(3) non-profit entity in the United States aimed at facilitating our efforts, including being able to receive tax-deductible U.S.
Oh, the Founder of Mastodon takes the final and last Step to get more Profit out of it by babbling about something with creating a Non-Profit organization in the US because of their Taxes...๐
Just my humble opinion on the matter at hand. ๐
#Mastodon forms new 501(c)(3) non-profit entity with new board of directors in the United States to facilitate tax-deductible donations and in-kind support:

@ntnsndr @chema Good to see that Mastodon has a 501(c)(3)! Also,, even if not all the board is elected, there's a lot of value in what Wikimedia and Global Voices do, with at least some board seats open to election from staff and the community.
With regular elections, the board gets to see and hear from the evolving set of hopes, concerns, and constituencies that are of interest to the community every time an election arises.
We've noticed that a lot of you had some questions about this announcement, so we've collected the most important ones in a new FAQ section on the page above ๐
To understand what's happening in San Francisco, you must examine the extremist politics of the "Network State" cult. For the @newrepublic, I wrote about Balaji Srinivasan, an influential tech baron seeking to โethnically cleanseโ SF. Buckle up for an absolute horrorshow! newrepublic.com/article/180487โฆ
What the fuck!? Why donโt they run their own website and write their own articles if they donโt think youโre covering the right things? ๐
Iโm sure you probably know this but just ignore these people. Write the content you think is the right stuff with the time you reasonably can dedicate to it.
A few years back I read a really interesting study that concluded with... let me see, if I remember correctly it was something like... people are stupid! Yeah, that was it. ๐
You do you! Focus on what tickles your fancy and stuff that you find interesting. That is always good enough.
The worst part about this is that even if you did do those things he would still complain about the way in which you cover those games if they werent accessable. Entitlement brain worms this one.
feels like they forgot to press the caps lock before typing. Doesn't even seem to make any coherent sense!? It's like reading a piece of AI generated text.
Fucking Godโฆ How to be motivate after this great mail ? Like some who critism ubuntu or mint at every news to say how good is gentoo or arch. Tired i am.
Hey Liam, I really appreciate what you do and it's so great! Thanks a lot.
However, this hate email is not so bad to acknowledge a public "whatever" retaliation, IMHO you could reply to them and explain that you don't have time to do everything (you're one person) and sometimes what they really want won't appear.
I'm saying this because sometimes people are angry with something in their lives and will be rude to everyone else, but you can be respectful and not impacted with them, and also don't spread the "you're stupid" mentality like the hate mail is doing.
Sorry for the message, it's that I really wanted to see a better Internet without this us vs. them mentality ๐ and being nice is a good first step.
@eitch iโm not going to be nice to or about people who are dicks to me, simples, and at times I will laugh at these clowns and allow others to laugh with me
Fun fact: these types of messages will do the opposite of what you want. That project will just get me to remember such a stupid hatemail. If you want me to cover something: try not being an ass about it ๐
sorry that you're subjected to that kind of nonsense. Frankly I'm not even seeing their point - it's not like the blog is called "foss gaming on Linux".
he forgot to `pacman -S compassion`. They say you're the shame of the Linux community but they are in fact what is wrong with it. Being on Linux doesn't always mean you need to find the most ways and software to be against the big corpos and proprietary software but sometimes it's just a choice to have more freedom with your OS
I don't know either, but I do know you were about a block from the Ghostbusters HQ. Hopefully you've got a nice black and white shot of that on a roll somewhere.

I swear these clouds looked fascinating when I saw them, and was mesmerized, but now seeing the picture I can't understand why I thought they deserved to be documented!
they still look pretty amazing, though maybe they were even better when you had the whole peripheral panorama that your eye could read but not your camera.
@ephemeral Thanks, I guess that explains it. The camera can't really see like the eye, or capture all the senses that contributed to me feeling awed ๐

Factorio from Wube Software currently has an expansion and big update on the way, with regular blog posts going over all that's coming. The latest has some fun behind the scenes info on their Linux adventures.
I was working on a game for a game jam that had the same resizing issues with the window (I'm using KDE on Wayland) and I actually could not figure out how to fix it but around the time the game engine devs uploaded a fix for this since another user already had noticed it so it was just a quick update. Love the bevy devs
