Super cute #indiegame for 2/29 by npckc: npckc.itch.io/229

I put a reminder on my calendar for 2/29/2028 to play it again. Doing so raised a lot of questions for me: will the game still be there? Will npckc make a different 2/29 game for 2028? Will I still have this calendaring system in four years? Will the world and my life be in a state where I feel able to take 10 minutes for a little game? *incoherent mumbles about climate change and politics*

Anyway, the game's good. 😹

At #FOSDEM I took a bad photo of @Gargron and now of course it's on #WikimediaCommons:

Don't be cruel, upload the better ones you took before this gets added to all Wikipedia articles. ;)

I would've appreciated being asked if it was OK to be used for Wikipedia prior to taking the picture 🙂
in reply to Eugen Rochko

Understandably. I'm pretty sure I asked. If it's not ok to use we can see what to do.

@adamgreenfield Rafael is one of my profs, and I attend classes in that building! I'll try to make it, but it's unlikely given the day. Will definitely keep an eye out for the book, though.

Brain: Must work, write & prepare slides for dissertation defense in just 3 weeks! 😬

Puppy: But look at me! ❤️ (And if you don’t I’ll surely get up to more mischief) 🐾

a moment of crisis of rational choice theory. Dissertation or Puppy? Which one to choose?

Simple solution: explain your dissertation defense to your puppy as you work on it. Your puppy won't understand things any better, but it might help you think

I've been using the regular release since its first release. Great and underrated distribution in my opinion. I have three systems (two desktops and one Notebook) running Kubuntu 23.10 right now. I hope Plasma 6 will be available via an ppa soon.

How stupid they have to be to send tou an email to ask you a download link? Are they really so incapable on looking for it by themselves? Come on!

@ntnsndr talking with @Rushkoff on #TeamHumanShow about this and more on the launch of his new book, #GovernableSpaces just made my day. I’m getting a few copies for our local library and high school.

Also, Rushkoff's observations are often hilariously apt, like the one about smoking weed behind the 7-11 as an example of a homeplace created in the shadow of an exploitative institution...

@Matt_Noyes Yes, he is so good at putting these questions into the context of actual life:)

This new #palmoil tool does not include a single brand from #India #China #Indonesia or #Malaysia, the four largest consumption markets for palm oil, accounting for the majority of demand, and, likely, an even greater percentage of deforestation due to lax due diligence requirements.

We're not going to solve supply chain deforestation by only focusing on global north demand.

@MxAlba @palmoildetectives The efficiency/productivity/yield argument is an inaccurate and dangerous #palmoil industry talking point. I did a piece exploring this back in 2021

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

how do we use the new drivers in say, Ubuntu, or Arch, or Mint, for example? Would love to give them a try, I have an RTX 2060 Super, so would probably be perfect for testing.

It's been a long time coming (well, not that long, really) but NVK is now ready for prime time:

You can expect to see NVK show up in your favorite distro some time this year.
