I wanted to love "Beautyland" by Marie-Helene Bertino - a neurodiverse protagonist who loves science(!) - but it didn't quite live up to my expectations.

But now I'm 11 chapters into "Circe" by Madeline Miller, which has been a wonderful journey so far. Miller knows her Classics! Highly recommend 📚 #books

There's been a mini trend of "classics retold from [some female character]'s perspective". I've read a few and this is best I've read. Her prose lives up to its promise. Have you read Margaret Atwood's Penelopiad?

"The time has come to stop, to stay in one place — if not a home, then at least a long-term refuge or bolt-hole — and shape a different sort of life, no longer peripatetic but persistently still."

I love Valheim, but many games have come and gone from early access to full completion in the time they take to add a another biome lol

Looking forward to finally completing this one though. We ended up just stopping at Ashlands so we don't run out of gameplay, had a similar issue in Enshrouded but at least that game will go 1.0 later this year!

Genuinely surprised that #CachyOS keeps on trucking. I figured it would've plateaued by now.

I'm not sure how widely the handheld edition is used, else I'd be inclined to say that it's eating some #SteamOS.

But who knows. I don't know anything anymore.

TL;DR It's an open source IDE/ATAPI emulator. It takes disk images from microSD and present them as real IDE hard drives or ATAPI CD-ROM drives.

I’ve been saying for decades that they paint themselves into very dark corners. I’d feel sorry for them if they didn’t do so much harm to everyone else. Unfortunately, there’s no way to help them find the light. They each have to find it for themselves, and most don’t.

1. How many of those editors are FOSS? E.g. MS Edit? Seriously?
2. Have you seen/tried any of the last versions of #Nano?
#nano
in reply to It's FOSS

all of these except for "MS Edit" have more features and thus a greater learning curve than Nano. Wouldn't that make them more complicated than Nano, not less?

scathing: "This method, conclusion first, reasons afterwards, has always been in high favour with the human race: you write down at the outset the answer to the sum; then you proceed to fabricate, not for use but for exhibition to the public, the ciphering by which you can pretend to have arrived at it."
in reply to cathos

this lecture is .. I think brutal is the best way I can describe it. It holds back no punches against the opponents of marvelous pursuits who'd wish to commodify it all. I've read it listening to Angelic Process and I read this in my head as a banshee scream:

> The complexity of the universe is infinite, and the days of a man’s life are threescore years and ten. One lifetime, nine lifetimes are not long enough for the task of blocking every cranny through which calamity may enter. And say that we could thus triumphantly succeed in the attempt at self-preservation; say that we could thus impregnably secure the necessaries of existence; even then the true business of life is not so much as begun.

"Absolute security for existence is unattainable, and no wise man will pursue it; for if we must go to these lengths in the attempt at self-preservation we shall die before ever we have begun to live."
