Attention skygazers: Witness Venus and Jupiter hanging out like two peas in a pod! At twilight today (March 1), catch the pair above the western horizon during sunset and just a little bit after. Details on this and other events: go.nasa.gov/3Je9Xa9

I live in Ohio, so clouds will get in the way. Luckily I got to see those two peas in a pod last night. They put on quite a show.


I am truly surprised that the authors of this letter seem to be unaware of @joss : "We propose…a new class of article for software updates…"

The Journal of Open Source Software, founded more than 6 years ago, will publish an article for new major releases of research software!

Why did everything get so expensive? A: Too much money, supply shocks, massive markups (aka corporate price gouging). And what can we do about it? "We do not, and we never did, have to throw workers under the bus in order to bring down prices." kottke.org/23/03/why-did-every…

Excerpts from this VERY EXCLUSIVE interview with the @disco_coop CAT:

"Whose interests do you serve?

As a CAT, I obviously serve my own interests, which include ingratiating myself to hoomans so I can get fluffier, haha. Just kidding: I’m there to help the hoomans in the DisCOs practice of Value Sovereignty. OK, I hear you asking, “what’s ‘Value Sovereignty'”?"

(Then you get Value Sovereignty explained to you by a cat).

ICYMI: Steam Deck hits over 8,000 games Playable or Verified, plus February's most-played gamingonlinux.com/2023/03/stea… #SteamDeck #PCGaming #Linux

love my Steam Deck, even if I pretty much only use it for Vampire Survivors and point-and-click adventures!
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

There is not a proprietary console in existence that has a library like that. Even if you take the modern big 3 and include the back catalogs of all of their predecessors combined, you will not have a library like that.

And that's just on Steam. By using emulation and non-Steam stores like GOG you expand that list even further.

M8 pre-orders are up again!

dirtywave.com/

Remember, if the production M8 is out of your price range you can always make a "headless" M8 with a ~$30 USD Teensy 4.1.

For those who are interested in the headless option but think they might need help I'm always happy to assist however I can.

Regarding Efforts By You, In Inferior Person, To Cancel Me, A Genius. "When you say I am contradicting myself, you fail to recognize I am in a Platonic dialogue with myself, and both sides of myself are winning." post.news/@/popehat/2MQJ4k9HJn…

This sentence made me question the entire structure of the English language, and my own frequent use of commas. "Specifically: when I, a genius, speak, you, a mediocre person, should listen, and appreciate."
