A ''dream'' planet?🩷
GJ 504 b is still glowing from the heat of its formation 160 million years ago. Astronomers say it is dark magenta, or the color of cherry blossoms. It orbits a star faintly visible to the unaided eye in the constellation Virgo. exoplanets.nasa.gov/news/116/m…

Can somebody help me understand this please: why would we ever give out carbon credits for not chopping down a forest? “Here’s a forest we shouldn’t cut down anyway. Because we’re not cutting it down, now you can burn more fossil fuels!”

One-third of faculty driven out by DeSantis

in reply to Dr. Brad Rosenheim has moved!

also worth noting that tenure doesn’t protect you if the institution, backed by the state, is determined to fire you.

Tenure is in many ways an institutional norm and only truly protects faculty if administrators are committed to it as a concept.

in reply to Carlos Moffat

Neither our university leaders or our state government are committed to #tenure as a concept. In fact it is hard to call what professors at public universities in #Florida have "tenure." I think one can make a strong argument that with a five-year review, we do not have tenure. Right now our government is on a crusade to recreate the miserable exploitative and extractive of USian history, but when they change their focus to #climate change and protection of the #environment I can hardly imagine my 5 year reviews going smoothly!



Leave it to beavers to improve Earth’s ecosystems! 🦫

Scientists are studying how beavers impact ecosystems using @NASA_Landsat and Sentinel data, which help them compare across larger locations and over time. go.nasa.gov/3rszBkK

Free advice: if you’re going to copy and paste a “personal” DM to a bunch of people to try to gain followers, make sure you don’t send the message to two people who live together and can compare notes. *block!*
in reply to Justin Bianco

my favorite is the folks who just go through every profile they can find and like the first three photos/posts hoping they’ll get a follow
in reply to Jonathan

@jonoor Yeah, the manipulation is so silly. No one really cares if you’re “big” on Mastodon, most folks here actually just want to make friends.


An unbeatable view

As the Apollo 11 astronauts make their way back home, they capture this image of Earth not long after leaving the Moon's gravitational sphere of influence.

It's that time of year again when I ask people the question "So, what should I be working on in #inkscape next?"

The full poll is open to my Patreon sponsors over at patreon.com/posts/86464943

No video this week as I'm travelling for a funeral. Sorry everyone! Be back next week with some poll results and a talk about the future for my work on Inkscape.

Famous french youtuber Joueur de Grenier killed his pc recently because he made sure to click that ram anyway.

Upside down. Yeah, nobody knew it was even possible but apparently, it is.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

literally yesterday 🤦

so apparently i will have to remove my CPU (and massive cooler) just to be able to release my GPU, as the release mechanism is all jacked up from me trying to operate in half-inch of clearance. And I gotta remove both to upgrade my m.2 SSD if I wanna use that Gen4 slot

i hate computers


in reply to Jeff Geerling

The fact remains that Red Hat is making you sign an EULA to get access to sources for GPL code. I don't see how the community can at all tolerate or accept this. It's hostile in intent and effect and should be opposed.
in reply to Alan Sill

@AlanSill

The only way you can oppose it though is to vote with your fingers and install something else and/or spend your money elsewhere.

They have only ever been obliged to give source code to those they give binaries to. They went beyond that in the past and everyone got used to it. No one likes losing something they're used to having.

didn’t realize how many of their games I played and loved till I looked at the list! Great studio.

Death’s Door has been my game the last few weeks on the Deck, but highly recommend Katana Zero, Hotline Miami, and Enter the Gungeon.



Wine 8.13 is out now with plenty of bug fixes gamingonlinux.com/2023/07/wine… #Wine #Linux #Gaming
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

fixed the ea launcher.. again. I wonder if the valve devs joke internally about having to fix the same app every single time. Those people are doing amazing work

This is scary. It's (strong) SafetyNet for websites.

Every now and then I run into another Android app I can no longer run because someone decided my phone, running an official build of my choice of OS, that isn't even rooted, is "not trustable".

Now they want to start doing that for websites.

This kills open Linux on the desktop (including Asahi Linux). It kills alternative browsers. It is a backdoor to kill ad blockers.

No. Just no. Please.
