Frank Thorp V has some great photos on Instagram of members of the 118th Congress (including the alleged sex offender Matt Gaetz): instagram.com/p/DERDRj7x53l/?i…

Gorgeous 4x5 results. I want to figure out what lens he's using. It used to be an Aero Ektar but I'm guessing he might have replaced it for the same reason I did.

I find it difficult to believe anyone looks at photos on Instagram... There's no way to zoom in, they're displayed on a tiny portion of my screen.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron Fair, I might be alone in that. But even spend so little time with most of them, and I consider myself to be pretty dedicated to actually looking at them. Instagram is a cesspit these days, the usual complaints, etc.

as one of those that did last year's survey on Windows, and this year's survey on Arch Linux: Woot 😀

Windows 11 is *such* a shitshow, and Proton is such a game changer, I suspect (ok, #hope) that it's the start of a prolonged trend.

2025 as the Year of Linux Desktop? Obviously not, but maybe we the needle starts moving this year

Ghostty is a terminal emulator that differentiates itself by being fast, feature-rich, and native.

While there are many excellent terminal emulators available, they all force you to choose between speed, features, or native UIs. Ghostty provides all three.

This is and has been my approach to life...."Why are you saving it on a pedestal if you are never going to use it?"

I've never understood that sort of thing, but I do believe in having backup/replacement things... 😀

My stepmom had like 12 full sets of china because the family kept dumping them on her whenever someone died or downsized. She always took it because it was an "heirloom" but they just sat in a cupboard where no one could see them. She brought out one set for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner and that was it. She just moved house so I'm hoping she offloaded some or all of them. (They were all hideous)



I am here to announce that I have decreased #spam on my web contact form from 1 message every 15 minutes (for months straight) to 0 messages in the last week by adding a "I am a spam bot" radio button.

I am not joking.

No I am not using something like ReCaptcha, I literally just added a radio button to the list.

If you add several hidden input fields rendered invisible with CSS so the user doesn't select them, the spam bots often will select them and fill them out.

Whenever I find myself feeling concerned about the future of life on Earth, I’m comforted thinking of the humble tardigrade.

Sure, humans may not be here long in the grand scheme of things, but water bears will certainly persevere for millions of years after we’re gone.

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

We can only hope the tardigrades don't invent capitalism, lest they share our same demise.

Na das hört sich doch schon mal prima an. 👍
Wenn du eine Einzeluserinstanz betreibst, dann würde ich empfehlen, das eine oder andere Relay hinzuzufügen. Dann füllt sich auch schneller die Timeline.
Allerdings geht das tatsächlich nur über die Console. Aber ich glaube, du kannst dich bei Docker auch in der Konsole anmelden, oder? Wenn ja, dann siehe hier: wiki.friendi.ca/docs/initicalc…

Oh, the history of history and Star Trek!

Star Trek’s Cold War


While America was fighting on the ground, the Federation was fighting in space.
By Tom Nichols

To be sure, some Star Trek episodes were just fantasy and fluff. (“Spock’s Brain,” in which the first officer has his brain stolen by a planet of gorgeous but apparently daft women, is often regarded as the worst episode, but there are several contenders.) Others commented on American social problems, such as racism, with thuddingly obvious symbolism: “Let That Be Your Last Battlefield” describes an endless war between two races on the same planet, one black on the right side of their body, one black on the left side, and … well, you get the picture.

But to appreciate the Cold War setting of Star Trek, you need only to understand that the Earth-led United Federation of Planets (a free and democratic association committed to equality among all beings) was NATO...

The city on the edge of forever
in reply to Muse

Oooh! Today's standards. I've gone through a couple generations of young people saying, "They didn't know better back then." Having lived through those times, they did indeed know better but chose to ignore it. We are going through this right now with the MAGA and Techbro lot. Twenty years in the future people may say they didn't know better. They most assuredly do.

Trek could be both enlightened and abyssmally sexist when it came to female characters. Some portrayals I found upsetting even as a kid without any understanding of women's rights. Did I still love Star Trek? Yes, I did. But I did wish it could have been better. JK Rowling has this same problem.
