Kind of as a birthday present (or an excuse to go out) @Andrew Pam and I went to the Art of the Brick Lego Exhibition. It was a fascinating experience. The amount of work that went into each piece was clearly considerable. If you have a chance to go, I would say that it is worth it. Just don't read the artist statements! They had me facepalming and whincing on a regular basis.
The animal room, which includes the two gorgeous polar bears, was my favourite.
The zebra people were probably the most aesthetic work.
The rainbow people have been a favourite with visitors!
The triumphal man and a few others in the room it shared all reminded me of Eastern European art under Soviet rule. I felt they could easily have had titles like: "Man Lifted by the State!"

ZOTAC Zone is yet another AMD gaming handheld gamingonlinux.com/2024/06/zotaโฆ
ZOTAC Zone is yet another AMD gaming handheld
Every hardware vendor seems to want a go at making a handheld, and now its ZOTAC jumping in with the Zone.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
All of these gaming handheld manufacturers choosing to use Windows makes me think they are not simply ignoring that Linux exists.
I really think it might be (at least in part) because they lack the technical expertise to support a Linux-powered handheld like the Steam Deck.
Valve, on the other hand, had nearly a decade's worth of experience working on Linux before they successfully released the Steam Deck โ unlike their previous attempt with the Steam Machines.

Iโve got a new camera! Pentax KX. Unlike the Canon Ae-1 Program, itโs fully mechanical. Everything seems to be in working order, except the focusing ring being misaligned and rotating past infinity.
apologies for saying this, but does that mean " To infinity, and beyond".
On another note, my second slr was a Pentax ME Super. Lovely camera.

Itโs weird when two things pop up around the same time, looking the same. Even more weird when one is a crypto start-up with a billion dollar valuation. And the other an under-funded non-profit in the Fediverse.
Thatโs the story of an unlikely couple: #Farcaster and #Newsmast.
Both built around channels, or communities. The success of Farcaster shows the potential in the #Fediverse.

An unlikely couple
Farcaster, meet Newsmast. Itโs weird when two things pop up around the same time, looking the same. Like Hollywood releasing two versions of the same story, in the same year.Michael Foster (Patchwork Blog)
the similarities are there (though I think the basic idea is very similar to, say, FB groups and subreddits). But more important, it seems to me, are the differences. In Farcaster, everything from storage to content to channel creation are financialized.
As with crypto vs. open source in general, it's a question of whether making the economic layer explicit will attract or repel people.
