The Vatican has just reaffirmed its hostility toward so-called "gender ideology." I recently wrote in the magazine of the pope's Jesuit order that this posture is a dangerous failure of imagination: americamagazine.org/faith/2023โ€ฆ
in reply to hazelnot

@hazelnot No, not really. The pope is one bishop among others (with an historically important seat). That office helps serve the purpose of unity. But subsidiarity is also a vitally important part of how the church works: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsidiaโ€ฆ
in reply to Nathan Schneider

huh fair

I live in a majority Orthodox country and here it's basically just, the patriarch is the big boss for all the priests in the country and all the power is centralised in his hands

He's also ultra-corrupt, was an informer of the Securitate and runs multiple companies through church middlemen (and can and does easily dismiss and/or blacklist anyone who goes against him)

Itโ€™s Eclipse Day! Are you doing anything for the eclipse? Anyone got any crazy camera/telescope setups? Do you think Instagram is going to crash this afternoon? kottke.org/24/04/its-eclipse-dโ€ฆ
in reply to kottke.org

got a cheap lil filter film, weโ€™ll see! Clear skies in Vermont thankfully


We traveled to Toledo, Ohio last night for todayโ€™s #eclipse. The journey from here depends on the clouds.

Wishing everyone clear skies & great viewing. Have fun & make sure to protect your eyes. science.nasa.gov/eclipses

Also in Ohio looking at (conflicting) cloud cover forecasts this morning and trying to figure out where to go. #eclipse

We landed in Napoleon, Ohio - the home of the Campbellโ€™s Soup factory - for todayโ€™s total #eclipse.

The view was spectacular.

How did your experiences go? /2

We had a spectacular eclipse. Unfortunately, weโ€™re still stuck in traffic in Maine. Still worth it.
in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

I watched the NASA feed as I'm a few thousand miles away. It was fun to join in at each site as the path moved. I've seen a partial, but hoping to get to Spain in 2026 for a total!
in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

I briefly looked out the window, saw the dense cloud - and since it would only reach ~20% coverage in Seattle anyway, I vicariously followed everyone's reactions on here instead!

(I've seen a total solar eclipse - and a ~92% one - before, so I didn't feel completely left out...)

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

My wife and I were able to experience totality from our backyard. Even though I've heard and read a lot about how overwhelming a total eclipse can be, I was completely unprepared for how astonishingly beautiful and moving it was. Words or pictures truly cannot do it justice. Feeling so lucky today. Hope your experience was equally as awesome!
in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

Wife & I planned to be on the centerline, east of Del Rio, TX. The clouds were thick and visibility poor. Lt rain as we approached Del Rio so we decided to blow off the centerline and view from Del Rio. We didnโ€™t see the sun until it briefly appeared at ~25% obscured. Totality was mostly obscured by clouds, no corona seen due to cirrus clouds. After totality clouds thinned noticeably. This was my 3rd total and didnโ€™t come close to the awesomeness of the first two.
in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

Our travel plans ended up cancelled, but we got a fun view of the partial from the back yard! (We put together a solar filter for my daughter's telescope.)

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

Incredibly bad talk. The text barely makes sense at many points, the speaker is barely able to read it out loud, and keeps messing up. Feels like a complete waste to have an expert and force them to read a couple of poorly translated marketing statements.

The design of this is clearly heavily inspired by the Steam Deck. 16:10 screen, two touchpads and a Linux OS, so it must ship Proton to be of any use. Valve should really hurry up and release a Steam OS distro.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

The details in the hardware look nice, like Hall Effect joysticks. But my faith in the Manjaro devs is limited, and Orange Pi doesn't have a huge reputation yet (no complaints with my Zero 3 yet).

Interested to see how this plays out.

As of late I am deeply conflicted about #GodotEngine ๐Ÿ˜ฟ

+ I love the design philosophy; I think it's [one of / the] best libre general-purpose 3D-capable engine out there. I use it and promote it.

- I've learned shocking things about reduz (Juan Linietsky) that made me really sad and I don't trust him in regards to money and power within the project.

I don't want to go into specifics, because there's too much to cover in a toot.

Don't downplay "haters" without evaluating their points.

#FOSS

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

@gamingonlinux There's also many past contributors who were bullied and kicked out of the project; many instances of moderation being worse than absent in the community; industry veterans who wanted to help but were treated like idiots; FOSS developers who were open to collab but noped out ( @jrouwe ), there's also reduz's unsubstantiated claims of Godot's supposed tech superiority over industry leading engines. An then there's "borrowing" code from Box2D violating it's license...
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

@gamingonlinux
Xrayez isn't helping his own case by spending countless hours on social media replying to random people talking about Godot, branding everyone who disagrees with or doesn't understand his gibberish as a "cultist", writing paragraphs in replies whilst failing to actually provide any solid evidence or arguments outside of "read my book lol" and even listing PROPRIETARY engines as the best alternatives.

If he is being truthful, he's doing an awful job at convincing people.
