have you thought that having all the #openwebs security going through one org might be a fail.

Please don't do this. There is no positive benefit to crypto, it's all negative.

This was a fun, lively, and hopefully useful discussion on some of the background elements and current status of AI both in and using #HPC with @hpcprogrammer and some folks at CIQ. m.youtube.com/live/GL0NNtk4kEw…

must watch video! Well... I should say best 2023 movie! So interesting.
Thanks for sharing👍
in reply to Brodie Robertson

Great episode, it was fun to listen to the interview!
Had to smile as I also started with a crappy DOS PC and VB6 was also my first programming language. Guess we’re the same age 😁
Keep up the great work on your projects! Love the idea of a new Rust-based desktop environment. I think I really need to give Redox a try on one of my older machines.


Then, at 3:30pm ET (1930 UTC), we'll host a NASA Science Live show to discuss recent climate trends and how we can use satellite data to manage the effects of climate change. Use #AskNASA and your questions may get answered on air: youtube.com/live/HZ3q7yArd_8?f…

Overwatch 2 didn't just fail to grab players, it lost to Team Fortress 2, a 15 year old source game. Again. It never really *won* in the first place, but it somehow managed to lose more than once.

OW franchise will be dead in the ground and people will still be queuing up for 2Fort.

You are in space✨
The famous Pale Blue Dot reveals Earth as a bit of light in a sunbeam from 3.8 billion miles (6 billion km) away. @NASAVoyager was much closer than we can get to exoplanets, but rare photographs reveal exoplanets as bright dots. But those dots...

Humble has a new bundle with Jupiter Hell, Coromon, Songs of Conquest + more goodies! gamingonlinux.com/2023/08/humb… #Linux #SteamDeck #Gaming
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

Coromon is really good. I think of all of the Pokémon clones I've tried, this comes the closest to the feel of the series up through the third or fourth generation.

New #Mastodon merch just dropped! Responsibly sourced cotton t-shirts, enamel pins, mugs, and vinyl stickers with cute, exclusive designs! Get them while they're hot and support the development of Mastodon!

freshstore.co/collections/mast…

in reply to R.I.Pienaar

@ripienaar For real. I’d be more willing if we knew Mastodon got any of that €19 for EU shipping, but I assume the supplier just pockets the excess. There’s no way it costs that to mail a shirt pin to Sweden…
in reply to Henry Henderson

@henryhenderson @ripienaar No, we don't get the shipping money, the shipping company gets them. I couldn't get lower shipping rates. I understand the manufacturer being in the UK is not ideal for many and apologize for the inconvenience.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron Eh, you can't make everything convenient for everyone. Since these are kind of limited, it's no biggie. The people who want them bad enough will pay for it anyway. I'm happy to support via Patreon still 🙂
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron @henryhenderson @ripienaar I appreciate your work... can't wait to get the merch! I also think that it would have been the same the other way around if you went with e.g. a US company, because then shipping to the EU/UK tends to be about £30, (and has been long before Brexit), so I think it's a good compromise 😀
in reply to Eugen Rochko

I think for the EU supergeek.de/de/ would be the right (nerd) store.
Here are many artists and creatives such as @ralphruthe with his store: supergeek.de/de/ruthe/
Attached is a screenshot with an overview of the delivery areas with shipping costs.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron @henryhenderson @ripienaar
This is also a problem in the US: the total for a shirt was over $50, nearly half of which was shipping. This was on top of the mugs being sold out.

Any way you can get a North-American vendor in on this? I'd definitely accept this price if I could get a shirt and mug at this price.

in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron it's such a shame that the launch was a dud because I love the motives.
Is there a chance of a second batch with better logistics?


Hello! It's been a while since I last played OpenMW, so we're going to put a 2 hour slot towards that today over at cast.samsai.eu starting in about 15 minutes. Another thing I haven't done in a while is play Strike Suit Zero. So, we'll do some of that afterwards. See you in the chat!
