🐧‘To make the #WeddellSea a protected marine area, we need to demonstrate that what the area has to offer is of great value to humans.’
On 15 December, Oceanographer Jacqueline Stefels and marine biologist Maria van Leeuwe (UG) boarded the icebreaker #Polarstern of @awi for an expedition to Antarctica.❄️

“When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system’s game. The establishment will irritate you – pull your beard, flick your face – to make you fight. Because once they’ve got you violent, then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don’t know how to handle is non-violence and humor.” ― John Lennon Plan To Be Nonviolent Resistor Vic youtu.be/aRI7MSXrmOU

...and while I'm at it, some little sea-things, too! The sea was much more calm than last year, although when we'd gone crabbing the tides were quite powerful. #california #nature
Just some little woodsy things from the north coast. One of the reasons I like that area so much is just how much growth there is everywhere – fungus popping out of everything, trees growing improbably, little happy bugs and such (and, conversely, how hard it was to keep my walls mold-free when I lived there). A nice change from the Central Valley sometimes. #california #nature

It is built with the Oscean static site engine written in Uxn by @neauoire, who along with @prahou and their respective websites, have inspired me to develop my own.
I have set a goal to write a long form essay once a month with my first being “The Stars in Your Eyes Are Stolen: Æon Flux and Decentralized Power Systems” found here: https://ominous.net/Æon_Flux.html
I hope folks enjoy my little corner of the internet. I intend to expand it often.
I have to write a separate block of code for the parser for each rss feed because they all look different. If you think you can automatize it, more power to you.
@aleph I really love that you included links to the other galleries.
I was considering adding this as a feature to my gallery tool, but then I thought it might be even cooler to have a public list hosted somewhere in a repo where people could add their gallery links via pull requests. I would add an option to the generator that pulls the list and adds it to the gallery every time a picture is added. This way, the list would automatically stay updated. Any thoughts?
Basically I need to pull out two things, a direct link to image/thumbnail, and date.
in the ideal world, the filenames would be in unix-epoch so I could only look for a single line per post. But I know this isn't ideal - I don't like it either, some people use semantic file names, or tags, which makes more sense for accessibility.
But! As long as the feed has <link>direct://url.to.image and <pubDate>(that's rss valid) That's fine.
Also if pubDate was in UTC-0, I wouldn't have to do magemathical formulas :')
@tml This is not my own writing, and I doubt this is what C. H. Ting is suggesting either(that was written prior to openfirmware), but keep pulling on that thread and it may lead to why this language was chosen as a front-end for users to interface with.
No, no, this book is like a .. early "Learning X for idiots", the author says you don't need to rely on a language's high priests to learn how to do any one thing, the language will enable the average cretin to get where they want to go.
@lritter Relative to 1984 it might be accurate, however. Like BASIC is not really that easy. It's easy to learn but that's not the same as it being easy to do things in.
I have both, but I meant to share this segment when the guest says none of the standard programming languages are appropriate for the end user, not even BASIC.
@mcc the key is datalog. i saw an inkscape in there, a game engine, a database system, the important bit is flattened composition, and a visualizable approach. hard to explain. i go entirely by intuition.
forth shares a weird attribute I also see in scheme: It allows for neat high level DSLs and very abstract code and it's clear that's the intention of the language, but the fundamentals are in some ways even lower level than C
it has "spatiality" which fires a part of my brain that only some 2D cellular automata do, which I find quite interesting from a UX perspective since it's usually not something that we content with in most programming languages.

I've been listening to CD's more in my car and am trying to be more intentional about listening to artists recommended by friends rather than relying on algorithmically generated radios when streaming. It occurred to me today that similar to a book site like Bookwyrm, I could use MusicBrainz to get metadata and use CritiqueBrainz to leave small ratings and reviews that will give me an outlet for being more opinionated about the music I listen to. I hope I'll be able to find my way to describing what music I actually chose to listen to, found myself enjoying, and why. critiquebrainz.org/user/pixell…
edit: someone suggested also trying NeoDB and I'd be open to hearing comparisons for people who have tried either musicBrainz or NeoDB stuff!
I recently helped fix a record player at a Repair Cafe and realized that they are super simple inside. They had purchased it for $1. I definitely want to track down a cheap vinyl player now so I can expand my physical library into vinyls, not just CD's. The CD's will satisfy me for now. I've been swapping CD's with my partner's dad, who I share a lot of music taste with.
All of this is a part of me realizing that the answer to leaving Spotify is not just one service: it's trying many things. CD's, Vinyls, Soulseek, live concerts, student radio, Bandcamp, Mirlo

in reply to It's FOSS • • •don't really care. I prefer to log in to a shell, then run startx if I want KDE.
For those wanting boot to GUI there are alternatives such as SDDM.
FreeBSD 15 installed KDE without startx, had to install xinit to fix that. Happy now 😁

And if they don’t, someone in the community can help them.
