The birds are not supposed to be on top of the tropical hothouse cabinet, but if they're being quiet I sometimes pretend not to notice and let them hang out up there for a bit.
Over 100M years ago, titanosaur ‘Patagotitan mayorum‘ wandered around what is now Argentina. It grew >120 feet long, 28 feet tall & weighed ~ 70 tons. (That’s longer than a blue whale!)

New study backs up anecdotal evidence that video conference meetings can take a toll on participants
The study, performed at an Austrian University, sought to determine whether videoconferencing led to fatigue on a brain level.
It defined that fatigue as “somatic and cognitive exhaustion that is caused by the intensive and/or inappropriate use of videoconferencing tools.” Videoconferencing tools include platforms like Zoom, Teams, and Webex.

Here’s my #SteamYearInReview
These always leave me with so many questions. And this year, with the #SteamDeck, I have even more.
Like, they said I played on two devices: Steam Deck and Linux. That’s kinda weird, right?
Also, they don’t count offline play time, which is probably the majority of my gaming time this year because of the Deck. Almost one hour every work day I’m on my Steam Deck playing in offline mode.
At any rate, whatever, here’s my shit, judge me.
P.S., I gained 8k elo in #CS2 this past week and started hitting 110-130 adr regularly again. I think it’s because I started drinking coffee again 😹

The most insane comment is: github.com/probonopd/wayland-x…
Basically "Nah, securing one end isnt worth is, because other attack vectors exist. So lets make it insecure by default, because I dont care and so should you. Others can figure it out later"
Ensuring security actually exists · Issue #7 · probonopd/wayland-x11-compat-protocols
