While it's in need of a better name, the RPG Maker MV / MZ for Linux tool had a new release recently that expanded the support for running games on Linux from TyranoBuilder, and RPG Maker XP / VX / VX Ace.
High time that Biden shoots agent orange in broad daylight on 5th Avenue… After al he is covered by presidential immunity to neutralize his opponents. Its for the good of the country…
One of the reasons I love to support @jensorensen on Patreon is that she talks about the thinking going into a comic. "The domestic abuser analogy is not original to me; people were saying it on social media and I figured I would draw it since it's apt.
The day after the Supreme Court's ghastly immunity ruling, Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts rejoiced in an interview on the pro-insurrectionist War Room podcast. " -Jen Sorensen from her Patreon. 1/3 patreon.com/jensorensen/member…
And that's exactly why Kevin "bloodless "Roberts is getting 6 from an anonymous donor on Monday... We had to do this when the perverts wanted to know who was menstruating... Now we need to do it for Kevins wake up call.
That quote is a threat and should be interpreted as an invitation to (if not justification of) the sort of ‘violent revolution’ communists like to talk about.
PCSX2 is a popular open source emulation for the Sony PlayStation 2 (PS2) and PCSX2 version 2.0 is now officially available with a great many changes and improvements.
Well this is certainly an interesting one. Gotcha Gotcha Games known for the RPG Maker series and Pixel Game Maker have announced Action Game Maker and it's being made with the open source Godot Engine.
Video recording and livestreaming tool OBS Studio version 30.2 is officially out now, bringing with it various new features and a nice few Linux improvements too.
We (w @mrcmlr and Liam Shaw) have a new preprint up that explores how rapidly E coli picks of genes horizontally, breaks genome synteny, and otherwise change its genome structure (spoiler: a lot is happening really fast).
OpenAI whistleblowers filed a complaint with the SEC where they allege the AI company is silencing employees from sharing concerns about its AI technology.
I'm afraid this is not OP's picture and those are not those cats' names. Reverse image search shows the picture has been making the rounds for a long time.
[1]Apart from all the usual existential threats to "the lungs of the world" * there is a new very dangerous threat: drilling for natural gas. They call it clean, and they are partly right. A natural gas plant is cleanER than a coal plant. But it's still burning dino's and producing CO2. There is an added danger to it, though: searching for and drilling for LNG and the transport causes massive leakage of methane. A gas that's almost 6 times more devastating to the climate than CO2. Directly and very much worse for the vast and diverse ecosystem of a rainforest Changes in the energy market made searching and drilling for LNG much more profitable, and propagating LNG as "clean[er]" makes investing even more profitable.

About the petition: STOP FUNDING AMAZON DESTRUCTION #Citibank, #JPMorganChase, #ItaúUnibanco, #Santander, #BankOfAmerica and #HSBC have poured at least USD $20 billion into fossil fuel projects in the Amazon. These six banks alone are behind half of all the funding towards destructive oil and gas exploration in the rainforest. They have promised to take action for the climate, preserve biodiversity and protect human rights. But in reality, their money is the driving force behind the destruction. They are funding drilling which is threatening to turn the Amazon into a dry savannah. Their money is behind the threats faced by Indigenous and traditional communities there. We cannot accept that these banks profit from claiming to be sustainable but do the opposite. Sign the petition to demand they end investments in oil and gas exploration in the Amazon.
Out of the more than $20 billion invested, 46% of all direct financing for oil and gas exploration in the Amazon comes from just six banks: Citibank, JPMorgan Chase, Itaú Unibanco, Santander, Bank of America, and HSBC.
As I understand it, returns on fossil are not necessarily higher. It's more that the returns are 'safe' and short term. Whereas investments in cleaner alternatives are considered 'riskier' and returns are [sometimes] on longer term. Maybe that's where capitalist financing has gone wrong. Buying shares used to be partaking in the risk of an enterprise, but it shifted to being safe like a bank. The real risks are now taken in speculating on a non-tangible economic values.
Bought a poinsettia today. 50% cheaper as no one wants to buy them post Christmas. These plants are natives of Mexico and are perennials so with the right care you can have a plant that stays for a few Christmases. #houseplants
I enjoy their news articles, but their cinema news and reviews reek of sexism. Their articles about the movie Barbie were largely on the nose. The retrospective article about Mary Poppins had me rolling my eyes. Just in the last day the Guardian's Peter Bradshaw has written about Shelley Duvall's career given our recent loss. Was the most important thing about Duvall her sexuality? Three times he goes into some depth about it, as if it were the most important thing about her as an actor and a human being. Would he have said the same things about a male actor?
I hope other people are also writing to The Guardian and complaining! theguardian.com/film/article/2… guardian.readers@theguardian.com
The unique and often misunderstood actor, who has died at the age of 75, was frequently at her best with Robert Altman and memorably terrorised by Stanley Kubrick
I noted poorly written article too. She deserved better all along. I read how the Shining was brutal in rehearsal and live action scenes by orders of the director in particular to terrify her for better scenes.

So will they be made available to watch on Peertube, or at least streamed on Owncast, or will you be pushing people to a centralized, proprietary, privacy invasive, advertising platform as usual?
There are nearly 300k Nextcloud servers, tens of millions of users, and the most downloaded apps on our app store are installed on over 100k servers with millions of users 🚀
After seeing how big-name, loudly-advertised apps like Nextcloud News and Nextcloud Social were abandoned and became unusable due to bugs as Nextcloud versions changed interfaces, it's ludicrous to try to advertise Nextcloud on the basis of its app ecosystem.
Bring the old, highly-touted apps back into current maintenance, and then you can talk. Until then, your users are right to be terrified to build reliance on any apps other than basic file-sharing.
'The results of these efforts were extraordinary, however. The images revealed jumping spiders, weevils, dragonfly nymphs, and myriad other arthropods in exquisite detail, from an unprecedentedly personal perspective.'
@Gargron I regularly get into this mode of the web user interface. With no way to exit, except refreshing the whole page. Maybe somebody should take a look at that from UX point if view… 🤔
Actually I don’t even know what the function is supposed to do. It happens when I’m reading messages, not trying to upload anything at all.

Very cool! I’ve used Bosca Ceoil for some game jams years ago. These days I use Godot for game jams, so I’ll have to go back to the future with Bosca Ceoil Blue!

Indigenous Maya Q’eqchi’ living around Lake Izabal, in so-called Guatemala, struggle to maintain their ancestral lands as they face criminalization and territorial dispossession led by the state and oil palm agroindustry.
JAKARTA — Allegations of illegal activity and land-grabbing against Indonesia’s second-largest palm oil company continue to mount as a new report reveals the firm’s violations appear to be more extensive than initially documented.
