New Guide: How to change the Proton version on Linux, SteamOS and Steam Deck gamingonlinux.com/guides/view/โ€ฆ

It is also worth mentioning that alternative versions of Proton (such as Proton GE) can be easily installed and used via the ProtonUp-Qt application.



A moment of adorableness!

Are you kidding me. Now we're operating at a level of absurdity that I can really respect. I don't know whether to laugh or boot up my laptop and dive right in.

And between answers you have time to measure coffee, grind it, boil water, pour, and bring it back to the desk between answers, in my experience.

yeah, it's cool, but there are also llamafiles by Mozilla that you can run on an Android phone via termux and interact with chat bots in the browser on your phone

Nice, thanks for sharing!

After a few searches I came across this: library.gamehistory.org/reposiโ€ฆ โ€” I'd love to see this box of maps.

It reminded me of all the elaborate notes and drawings me and my siblings would make of the worlds of the games we played, taking us from the screen to paper. I guess that rarely happens these days.

โ€˜Sunlight in the Blue Roomโ€™ is an 1891 painting by Anna Ancher, an innovative Danish painter who was a central figure with the Skagen Painters. With its many shades of blue and the sunlight pouring through the window, the painting is one of her most famous works.

Those shadows cast by the foliage in the window are very evocative for me. The painting reminds me of summer afternoons at my grandparentsโ€™ farm. Some of my yesterdays.

Yup. Some of these are an absolute no-go for me and mine. Others are tools in the toolkit.

I think you can also add Mastodon profiles to your RSS reader. But I haven't tried since I don't use RSS (I would like to, but I don't know what RSS reader should I use):

So it's also fine to use, say, Spotify from a free web browser to listen to music, because I'm just listening to other people's songs, as long as Spotify doesn't load proprietary javascript in my browser?

It's starting to feel like following dogma for the sake of following dogma rather than trying to achieve anything...

Excessive olfactory memory in the insomniac fruit fly mutant:

"we report our surprising findings that insomniac (inc) Drosophila short sleep mutants, which lack a crucial adaptor protein for the autism-associated Cullin-3 ubiquitin ligase, exhibited excessive olfactory memory."

And then the paper goes on to inquire into the molecular basis of this, and reports:

"find that a mild attenuation of Protein Kinase A (PKA) signaling specifically rescued the sleep and longevity phenotypes of inc mutants. Surprisingly, this mild PKA signaling reduction further boosted the excessive memory in inc mutants, coupled with further exaggerated mushroom body overgrowth phenotypes."

I have two Mastodon instances that CONSTANTLY show up in my tootctl account cull as "EndlessredirectError": m.techsocial.site and social.jvan.be. Every single week. Any other admins know what's up with that? Are these dead sites? Troll sites? Technical errors? Why do they keep ending up back in my accounts list every week? The sites don't resolve in my browser, and adding them to my defederation doesn't seem to cause any accounts to be removed.

#fediblock #mastohelp #mastoadmin

in reply to Nate Bartram

seems like the error is rather descriptive of the problem: both of these instances are misconfigured to cause endless redirects.

I think the following should resolve it:

finally someone has the guts to do it. I really respect Debian for finally abandoning a platform that is rife with abuse. Removing content and avoiding places like X and Facebook is really the only way to reduce the immense power that those network have over us

Where were they when Twitter blocked "conspiracy theories" about how the "pandemic" was used to enslave people? Now they are virtue-signalling just because they don't like Elon Musk? Isn't it better to focus on the software?
