For our friend's wedding yesterday(bagpipes were involved), I made us two pairs of arm warmers with the wallace red tartan. They're so comfy I did my goblin doodle with them on.

🇮🇷 Update: Brief returns of internet access are driving spikes in Snowflake usage. Please help us run more proxies if you can. ❄️ snowflake.torproject.org

The easiest ways to run Snowflake is by using Tor Browser, Orbot, or installing the browser add on in your current browser. Extra capacity helps people in Iran stay connected when the network comes back online.

You're not kidding. I was running a Snowflake Proxy a couple of years ago and would see only a few connections each day. In response to your call, I set one up about 15 hours ago and have had 23 connections so far.

Won't someone please think of the unloved AI bot.

Heartbreaking 💔

"Tech leaders remain divided over whether AI has consciousness."

I can solve that for you right now - they do not. Jeez. The absolute madness coming out of the AI sector is hilarious.



Users Tux_Linux and Szybet have been working on a new firmware for the PineNote called QuillOS, it uses hrdl's kernel tree along with a custom user interface built on the Niri tiling window manager. It's currently still in development which you can follow the progress of in their Discord server (discord.gg/WbB9ZFYNRG).

There is an additional demonstration on YouTube for those interested.

Before today, I never posted a pet or food photo onto social media. Just never had the urge

After breaking the ice with my earlier pet photo, I’m following up with this jar of homemade Saurkraut #ferment

This one is currently 2 weeks old- first taste today and it’s good but still has some maturing to do to achieve the zing I really like

Any fellow fermenters out there in the Forkiverse? whether experienced or just curious, I’m always up to chat about it and would love to see your creations

Great compilation!

I guess most of those failed not because they were bad, but were really different of what Linux should be, they tried too much to be just like Apple and naturally failed, but I am glad to see that now we are getting much better things like those that are much better and not proprietary!

Probably, my favorite on the list is Unity, however, it also failed due to their other products fail... But I think GNOME is much better nowadays! Unity felt like Windows 8 UI.

I am fan of good poetry. Were I to be living in any other time, I would find this poem gripping. On this day and in this time we live, it comforts the grief, motivates my resolve, and brings me to tears. Thank-you.

**Republicans Will Detonate Their Secret Weapon at the Midnight Hour to Stop Women from Voting **


Imagine arriving at your polling place in November only to be turned away because you changed your name when you got married. You’ve voted for 20 years with valid identification. Nothing matters. The SAVE Act passed the House in April, and 69 million American women are about to discover their names don’t match their birth certificates while the deadline to fix the problem has already closed...

Twenty years of voting with valid ID, Social Security records, tax returns, and a mortgage in your name mean nothing when the system decides your marriage certificate makes you unverifiable.

This scenario becomes reality for millions of American women if Republicans deploy the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act in the final weeks before the 2026 midterms.

in reply to Muse

Right. Today the FBI descended on the Fulton, Georgia voting data (for 2020), in an apparent effort to "re-prove" the "fake" election results then (which led to Jan 6 plus impeachment). As the GA Senator just noted, this is pre-shadowing Trump's election strategy (reprise) to do whatever he can to interfere with the next election and also (of course) undo the result of the last one, as he re-writes all of #truth & #history.

@Gargron I saw this and it reminded me when my post about gimp (mastodon.social/@wakest/100847…) made your 2018 list (blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/12/…) which is sorta sad to see how many of them are now 404 embeds



I was thinking of this, and proceeding cautiously through the mist, when I began to fancy that I saw some objects darker than the cloud looming in front of me. A few steps brought me nearer, and a shudder of unutterable horror ran through me when I saw a circle of gigantic forms, many times higher than myself, upstanding grim and grey through the veil of cloud before me.

I suppose I must have fainted, for I found myself some time afterwards sitting upon the ground, sick and deadly cold. There were the figures, quite still and silent, seen vaguely through the thick gloom, but in human shape indisputably.

A sudden thought occurred to me, which would have doubtless struck me at once had I not been prepossessed with forebodings at the time that I first saw the figures, and had not the cloud concealed them from me—I mean that they were not living beings, but statues. I determined that I would count fifty slowly, and was sure that the objects were not alive if during that time I could detect no sign of motion.

How thankful was I when I came to the end of my fifty and there had been no movement!

I counted a second time—but again all was still.

I then advanced timidly forward, and in another moment I saw that my surmise was correct. I had come upon a sort of Stonehenge of rude and barbaric figures.

There was snow upon their heads and wherever snow could lodge. Each statue had been built of four or five enormous blocks, but how these had been raised and put together is known to those alone who raised them. Each was terrible after a different kind. One was raging furiously, as in pain and great despair; another was lean and cadaverous with famine; another cruel and idiotic, but with the silliest simper that can be conceived—this one had fallen, and looked exquisitely ludicrous in his fall—the mouths of all were more or less open, and as I looked at them from behind, I saw that their heads had been hollowed.

I was sick and shivering with cold. Solitude had unmanned me already, and I was utterly unfit to have come upon such an assembly of fiends in such a dreadful wilderness and without preparation.

Then came a gust of howling wind, accompanied with a moan from one of the statues above me. I clasped my hands in fear. I felt like a rat caught in a trap, as though I would have turned and bitten at whatever thing was nearest me. The wildness of the wind increased, the moans grew shriller, coming from several statues, and swelling into a chorus. I almost immediately knew what it was, but the sound was so unearthly that this was but little consolation.

The inhuman beings into whose hearts the Evil One had put it to conceive these statues, had made their heads into a sort of organ-pipe, so that their mouths should catch the wind and sound with its blowing. It was horrible.

in reply to Devine Lu Linvega

I heaped every invective upon them that my tongue could utter as I rushed away from them into the mist, and even after I had lost sight of them, and turning my head round could see nothing but the storm-wraiths driving behind me, I heard their ghostly chanting, and felt as though one of them would rush after me and grip me in his hand and throttle me.
