Is it any different than the v1 steam deck smell? This may or may not affect my future purchase decision.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

Gentle reminder that those smells are generally volatile compounds that are no bueno. Though I honestly have no idea what the relative risk actually is.


Well Mastodon, several kind folks here recommended ‘The Ministry for the Future’ when I asked for great #books to get lost in. So I have taken your advice.
in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

Reading it right now (64%). Surprised how positive it develops, yet not naive. Made me learn more about solarpunk and hopepunk as literary styles and worldviews.
in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

The most stupendous book, still thinking about it nearly a year after reading it...


“Our care work is unpaid. Our medical expertise is unpaid. Our gender production is unpaid. Our advocacy is unpaid. Our training is unpaid. Our support work is unpaid. Our teaching is unpaid. Our writing is unpaid. We are in poverty. And so now, at the very point at which our genders are beginning to be renaturalised by liberal capitalism, as the state offers a pittance of funding to our healthcare needs, we demand not merely free healthcare, not merely a place at work, not merely a reparation settlement: we demand wages for transition.”

in reply to Muse

Well, as you've noted, I've had an interesting career. I didn't just work in news, I lectured at the planetarium, I was a remote employee for AOL, a gamemaster for Simutronics, a docent aboard the USS Hornet ... then also trained as a voice actor and taught myself to be a chef.

But none of that was because I had a master plan of some kind.

in reply to Muse

Even when people do have master plans, usually they go skittering off in at least a few directions.



Just 600 years ago, nine species of enormous, flightless birds called moas wandered around New Zealand. Some of these magnificent big birds grew up to 12 feet tall, which would tower over Sesame Street’s most famous resident.

Moas had thrived for millions of years. And suddenly - shortly after humans arrived on the islands - they went extinct.

Our situation actually had nested ternaries, so `cond1 ? a : cond2 ? b : c`. Generally I don’t mind them, but they can be a vector for creeping complexity.


Today the legendary Georges Stavracas is on the show who you may know from his work on Wayland, Portals, Fixing OBS, or killing the GNOME file picker meme, regardless he's his here to have a long and interesting chat #Linux #YouTube

my favourite part is this quote 😂😂😂 (source YouTube video from 01:46:04 - 01:46:10):

Just to clarify it's a joke obviously. not advise especially not for gambling.

Sorry, it was too tempting.

@neauoire I know a bit late but while cycling under some gloomy skies I thought of the movie and it suddenly made me remember a tschech movie I saw as a kid which deeply impressed me and somehow I connect it with the silver globe, maybe because both had "Silber" in their german title. 😉
Anyhow, the movie name: "Pověst o stříbrné jedl"
Maybe you like it too.

leaning into meditative and slow jams recently. shot some quick footage of a stream during a walk and did some weird yet basic speed/perspective/noise things with it.

#EnergyTransition: How bubble curtains protect #porpoises from wind farm noise bbc.com/future/article/2023110…

"As huge offshore #WindFarms spread across Europe's seas, efforts grow to buffer the impact on #wildlife... The #BubbleCurtain was designed around the #porpoise's specific needs and traits, lowering #WindFarm construction noise to a threshold deemed safe for the species, based on scientific research. Its proven muffling effect may also benefit other marine #mammals such as #seals"

in reply to Eugen Rochko

Which Adapter do you use and does it only work with a closed aperture.
in reply to macke_47

@macke_47 M42 to FD, and as far as I'm aware has no effect on aperture. I've shot with f2 through it.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

A that 's the trick with aperture. And M42 lenses are a good wild card to be adapted to nearly every lens. I've bought two M42 lenses together with an old Practika recently. One of them has kind of an A-M Automatic-Manual switch to close the aperture.
in reply to macke_47

@macke_47 I don't think automatic works with a mount adapter, I've been shooting manual.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

I heard something similar. My father had a Fuji he could use his old M42 lenses with an adapter, but only in manual mode. The aperture had to be closed with test button on the camera.
