note: they are only available to those who are members of social.coop loomio members so if you can't see 'em it's because you haven't joined our governance platform!

They are long but JUICY. Read to the end for the latest goss on the spam wave ;)

I always feel incredibly grateful for the careful minutes y'all share, and that was before seeing your kind mention of my book. Thank you!

@ntnsndr

YOUR BOOK! YES! I'm so excited to see you getting so much uptake for it.

I've read the first two chapters and your ability to ground big ideas in relatable stories is so powerful!

Thank you for bringing that gift to ideas I'm so interested in exploring and sharing.

I started work on a Gamescope backend that uses Wayland xdg-shell, subsurfaces, viewporter, single pixel buffer, ..., etc so that eventually nested Gamescope on Wayland will basically never have to composite and can use hw planes. :neofox_laptop_owo: dmabufs from gamescope clients are passed straight through to host compositor.

It's also on my to-do to implement pre-emptive commits for the baseplane which should remove the 1.x ms latency cost that nested Gamescope incurrs. :neofox_mug__w_:

Anyway, here's glxgears + mangoapp rendered as subsurfaces! :neofox_nom_haj_nervous:

As oil palm plantations encroach on rainforests, wild primates increasingly enter them to forage, where they face the threat of being eaten by feral dogs, killed for raiding crops, or caught by traffickers for the pet trade.

A new study from Peninsular Malaysia finds that exposure to oil plantations also significantly increases the risk of death among infant southern pig-tailed macaques.

Now, where did I put my pineapple-apricot preserves - those ought to go nicely with Jurassic croissants.
in reply to Muse

@Mark Wollschlager Those would be Cretaceous crumbs!

@Ted I was thinking you probably should be more worried about it eating you, but then it's looking pretty round and happy. Maybe it has just eaten a nice fluffy bun!

@Karl Auerbach Yum!!!

rule number eleventy three of the MAL: if it's capable of receiving a TV signal, it must be made to do so immediately.

and probably that TV signal will be a VHS tape of Jurassic Park running through our TV transmitter...

I have so many questions

- Is that a laptop keyboard minus the portability?
- I see the play buttons... was it supposed to double as an entertainment center?
- Why aren't more computers gold?



Okay, it's outโ€”I got to geek out on my new book #GovernableSpaces on the @sustainoss podcast with @richlitt and @lhawthorn: podcast.sustainoss.org/222

I was early for the thing and had the choice of an overheated waiting room or a very rain-soaked bench outside in the sunshine.

Damp bum but worth it.

Would you like to see higher adoption of Mastodon in higher education?

Hereโ€™s an opportunity โ€œtip the scaleโ€ & show #CUBoulder that Mastodon can be an effective part of their social strategy while ALSO supporting an organization doing amazing work in the fediverse. If you use this link to donate to the College of Media, Communication & Information, the source of the donation will show up as coming from Mastodon.

The UI suggests $25, but you can donate as little as $1

All older games being sold in Germany on Steam now require a content rating gamingonlinux.com/2024/03/all-โ€ฆ

#Steam #Germany #PCGaming

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

Well, we have content rating since 1994 in Germany.
The system has changed several times since then.
Wolkenstein 3D for example got his rating 30 years after release.
In the 90s you only were able to buy it under the table.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

Compare to the policies from Korean government err legislation backed by some voters: The Korean government says their department rate all the games released in Korea unless it's for a religious cause, public welfare, or is in test period; They rate games and the content changes for a "cost" --They will decide whether a game patch would require another costly rating session. and the cost is not small for a small firm like a small startup company.

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

I find it interesting that they call the radio an "instrument". I like how it highlights that it occupies the same creative space as a musician would, and wonder if that could possibly be an awareness that faded with time as recorded music became more normalized.
