My copy of the @404mediaco zine has arrived! It is beautifully printed and I can't wait to dive in. Love receiving physical media from them (and in general).

Now, if I can keep the United States Federal Government from killing my kid simply because they exist, that would be great.

That is the feeling when you use man in a command you thought so basic that assumed couldn't do more than what you were already doing with it

Found my favourite episode of Time Team, S8E3 where there's a site so astonishing no local archaeologist will work with them because they think it's a hoax, the landowner has changed his mind and won't speak to them, so Time Team gather a squad of national experts. 7 Minutes in and they're all "....nahh this is bollocks"

LOVE a good debunking

in minecraft, you can smelt cobblestone to make stone, which i called "cooked stone" when i used to play it.

nowadays you can smelt stone again, which makes smooth stone.

I grew these mushrooms in a cloth grow bag using only wood chips as the substrate. I thought that they would fruit in the top, but instead they actually fruited through the fabric in the bottom.

They struggled a bit due to the low humidity indoors, but I spray them with water several times a day, so I will be able to harvest something.

in reply to Frank Aylward

Excellent harvest! The growth direction may seem weird, but fungi mycelia are pretty much of tridimensional growth (if you have ever seen a mold snow-ball in a liquid you can get the idea), so they will probably have grown towards the zone they detected was closer to circulating air (AFAIK, fungi do not have a lot of gravi- or phototropism).
in reply to Seiðr

@Illuminatus indeed. I was just surprised they could pin through the dense cloth!
in reply to Frank Aylward

Nice, I inoculated several alder logs with blue oyster spore from a local company. Keeping them outside in a shady spot, hope to harvest some in fall.

I just want to say thank you to the Americans on here who have evidently made a concerted effort to start putting an F to specify when they are talking about Fahrenheit degrees.

I can't imagine what prompted the recent shift, but it makes a difference, it's clearer and respectful to the rest of the world, and I for one have noticed the change.

Update on the "GOG now using AI generated images on their store" article, as GOG replied with a short statement.

#GOG #AI #GenAI #Gaming #PCGaming

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

lots of people angry about the "non comment" but I think it's a good sign.

They can't just throw a guy under the bus and call it a day on a Friday afternoon. There is a lot of conversations that need to happen internally. I'd prefer it if they said something like "oopsie, this should never have happened", sure. But the goal here seems to precisely communicate that those conversations are going to happen next week.

Let's wait and see what does come out of them

This year I'll be at #FOSDEM26 too. I'll be at the #Mastodon stand selling you pins and stickers. Please drop by, say hi, and buy our stuff, I don't want to have to carry it back.

And remember to live, laugh, and federate.

"Le but est de ne pas tout faire d’un coup. "Par exemple, dans un premier temps, on va montrer la suite LibreOffice qui peut remplacer les solutions de Microsoft. Puis le mois suivant on va parler de Mastodon au lieu de X ou de Proton plutôt que Gmail", précise ce vétéran de l’autonomie numérique."

France is ditching Microsoft Teams and Zoom. Will they be able to succeed? 🤔

in reply to It's FOSS

Someone with a quarter century research experience in industrial computing and electronics confirms that LibreOffice is still unusable in practice. This applies to technical & scientific report writing as well as office work.

Not only are new employees unfamiliar with it, but also design faults in the specifications are known & discussed on bug reporting platforms. I won't try to list them, but a review is urgently needed with assessment of possible outside 'interference'.

Must not forget the VBA ecosystem coupled to Excel, which allowed me to get work done during the 2 or 3 years it took for corporate IT to refuse my development submissions.

I appreciate the no-frills coverage btw, thanks. No sensationalist headline, just the news and a recap of the necessary context. Keep up the great work!

It's so weird to me that Playtron is a part of this. I don't actually blame the CachyOS lead one bit for not wanting to be associated.

YES! Please!

We need to save our software and archive it for future generations!

(And so that those fuckers can't retro-actively patch an offline game to be online only after ten years of release. Fuck Ubisoft for soft locking my copy of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.)

I was reading it, but thanks for taking the trouble of pointing it out. Weird data in there... for example I find difficult believing there's more people working to optimize for Steam Deck than for Switch or Switch 2.


Still hard at work on content for the Steam page 😅
