Half-Life 3 fan game Project Borealis: Prologue gets a Steam page - due out soon

Project Borealis is finally coming to Steam, to give you a taste of what Half-Life 3 or Half-Life 2: Episode 3 could have been. A good time to do so, since we're coming up on the 20th anniversary of Half-Life 2.

Check out Proton-Sarek if you have an older GPU for Windows games on Linux

Valve's work with Proton to run Windows games on Linux / Steam Deck is amazing, but they do require you have newer GPUs so some have been a bit left behind. Proton-Sarek aims to fix that.

What are the *technical* steps behind moving a Mastodon account?

I understand how to do it from a user perspective (docs.joinmastodon.org/user/mov…) but what does the new server need to do?

Is it as simple as adding an "aliases" to the webfinger?

The new server advertises the old account in an alsoKnownAs property on the actor. The old server sends out a Move activity with the new actor as the target.

Honoring Dias de Los Muertos today with my tarot card - "Death". 🌸 💀 🌹 #diasdelosmuertos #DayoftheDead deviantart.com/sylviaritter/ar… #art #mastoart #fediart
This is the death card from my tarot deck in progress. It stands for change, transformation, and letting go. I've chosen a crow to represent this meaning. Dias de Los Muertos is celebrated with flowers for their loved ones. The crow wears a flower crown with colorful feathers. It wears a bird scull too and has a bone structure painted on its feathers. It is surrounded by many flowers (white, orange, and red) and sculls with glowing eyes. Time symbols can be found. In the background, an intricate old clock, in the front, a burned-down candle. Time is precious, make the most of it <3. https://www.deviantart.com/sylviaritter/art/Death-709557938

One way this election affects me personally is that I could lose my health insurance through the ACA, which has allowed me to be self-employed all these years. For a refresher on what healthcare was like for freelancers pre-ACA, see this autobio comic from 2012. kffhealthnews.org/multimedia/o…

I've had my Medicare Advantage insurance canceled *TWICE* within twelve months because of dispute between the insurer (United Health) and the medical provider - it had nothing to do with me.

So I ended up with pneumonia, a temperature of 104F, and uninsured. I was turned away from urgent care and had to go to the ER as uninsured.

Our US medical system sucks.

I'm so glad you have a good plan through the ACA. I had to close my small business in 2018 when my husband got laid off and we lost his corporate insurance. When we went to sign up for the ACA, the cheapest plan that didn't cover anything until you hit a deductible was $2600/month with a $14,000 deductible. He couldn't find another job (age discrimination) and I had to go back to the corporate world just for affordable insurance. The ACA is great for a lot of people but it needs a lot of work to be good for everyone. I wish I could just buy into Medicare. But I sure as hell am still voting for Harris even though the ACA kinda ruined my career. Trump definitely wouldn't fix it.

Sea haze lit by the setting sun. Looking along a beach, with low trees to the right, the edge of the water to the left and many rocks and shells on the sand. In the distance, someone stands looking out to see with one arm raised at waist height. Beyond, a low hill, and barely visible in the distance, a tree-covered ridge. A large bird of prey glides up from the beach toward the upper right corner. It is the darkest, most prominent element in the image

About Half the visible sk is filled with large white clouds. The mountain in the foreground is called Schlern, and in the background you find the Langkofel which peaks at 3’181m.

Firewall is an excellent metaphor for the situation.

We've blown past every barrier on the path of disaster, and all that's left is to proceed to the disaster.

At this point, the best I can do is pray for the disaster to be over with as quickly as possible.
