Looks like Discord finally fixed Linux screen and audio sharing with Wayland

A while ago in November, it seems I missed a post from a user in the GamingOnLinux Discord server, noting that the Discord developers finally hooked up screen and audio sharing for Linux with Wayland.

Would highly recommend Every Living Thing by Jason Roberts - wonderful dual biography of Linnaeus and Buffon. Many fascinating anecdotes about both - especially Linnaeus, who was a bit of a character.

Roberts also makes the point that Buffon's writings describe many elements of evolution and biogeography well before Darwin or Lamarck, but that his work was largely ignored after the French Revolution because of his connection to the monarchy. An interesting example of how these political events shape science and science history long afterwards.

A grey stone statue of a sitting mouse wearing a suit and top hat and holding an open book. Around the statue on the ground: fluffy white snow. Snow also sits on the top rim of the book, the mouse's arms and shoulders, and on the top hat. Behind the statue: spindly trees with brown/orange leaves littered with snow. All in front of a building with reflective windows and uneven tan stone.

Been going on a lot of camera-less walks recently. On those, if I see something pretty, the phone has to suffice. Here's four shots from three walks (top and bottom left were taken today).

Still fricking cold. But beautiful!!
A snowy field with lots of animal tracks criss-crossing across it. The sky is full of a neat cloud pattern with a low sun on the horizon, with blue sky peeking through the clouds. There are a couple of large hay bales covered with snow, and some bare deciduous trees with frost all over them around the edges of the field.
A view through a window with fractal-pattern ice crystals on the window. In the background, out of focus, is an orange sunrise and a blue sky.
