I actually had a look since I did vaguely remember an EU Linux petition and sadly, @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu already killed it

While there is currently no formal project to establish an "EU Linux," there are many ongoing
initiatives that support the adoption of open source solutions within public administrations
across Member States. These efforts contribute to the EU’s broader objectives of transparency,
security, and technological independence in the digital domain.

A statement on recent events and an apology. I will do better.

I'm so sorry for what you've gone through. No one deserves to experience that. I have the number of a good therapist if you need to talk to someone about this. I know it can be hard to relive the painful experiences of our past, but it may help you to heal in time.

One aspect that I like of the programming language I use daily is its robustness, it'd be hard for it to become unrecoverable.

The language itself relies on a runtime that can be emulated in about 150 lines in most languages(including its own language), and a 2300 bytes self-hosted assembler. There is a bootstrapping toolchain that allows me to recover an assembler from a hex dump on an operating system without cat, or ×d, or even with an implementation of the runtime without a file system.

I've added a few notes on how it all works:

"Douglas McIlroy ported TMG to an early version of Unix. According to Ken Thompson, McIlroy wrote TMG in TMG on a piece of paper and "decided to give his piece of paper his piece of paper," hand-compiling assembly language that he entered and assembled on Thompson's Unix system running on PDP-7."

Common cause vs sampling intensity variation in the earliest eukaryote diversity dynamics in the Proterozoic Eon:
"...we favor the explanation that the pattern of early eukaryote diversity is driven by variations in paleontological sampling."

After Tomodachi Life was absolutely trashed by the media and fans for not including gay romances it will be interesting to see if they uphold the commitments they made.

I'm not sure how people would react these days if they didn't.

Boosts are much appreciated.

They've been working very hard on this album, but I don't personally have a lot of connections to metalheads, so I'm hoping others on the fediverse do.

Lovely writing peeps - how do you sell your digital books online? Gumroad? Something else? Pros & cons of the different services?

I have a friend who has been hand-selling his printed books, but now is considering selling digital copies & neither of us know where to begin. 😳

Also, is there any legal stuff we should be aware of? (He's in the UK & publishing himself.)

Boosts welcome - then everyone gets to learn! 😊

Thank you! 🙏

Whether you want to be a better ally, think you might be trans, or just don’t understand what this whole transgender thing is about, I highly recommend reading https://genderdysphoria.fyi/

It talks about what gender itself is, what gender incongruence feels like, the science behind how sex determination and sexual dimorphism works in humans, the diagnostic process for trans folks, and what HRT actually does and what is involved in transitioning. It’s a good read

Let me know if something's unclear, I've bean meaning to expand this page for ages, but if I was starting into INs fresh, I'd start by watching Lafont's video, and read the Inpla paper.

have fun! ✊

in reply to Devine Lu Linvega

@neauoire I had to go back to Lafont's paper in order to get a bit more terminology about polarity of ports, which helped setting my head straight. I also found this paper in the process: https://cgi.cse.unsw.edu.au/~eptcs/paper.cgi?DCM2014.3.pdf

you might not need to go to the gym to prep yourself up for the skating season, maybe just daily shoulder and knee works(stretching, lots of walking) might be enough. Physical exercise as an adult will make you feel sore, but there's ways to help with that recovery time between sessions too.


Imagine if you did all the things you said you were going to do.


People are running role-playing games on the tumblr communities and somehow it works really well. Communities are popping off.

I'm fascinated by the ways that social media "features" almost never get used as intended. Tumblr tried to have this thing called "tumblr live" a few years back and everyone hated it. Communities have been better received.

I wish we had something like "communities" here on mastodon. Imagine if monsterdon could be a little more ... contained.

I made a python script to do this, but I didn't know how to integrate it so it was on my phone and computer ... and what I really want is for *everyone* to have this kind of "check on everyone" reminder on their dash. So, I don't need anyone to tell me a way to do this. I know how to do it. I'm saying it should be a feature of the main software, not just asking for myself.

(The perils of posting on a site with so many programmers means giving this kind of disclaimer. Ya'll are so helpful.)

in reply to myrmepropagandist

The @phanpy client for Mastodon has a catch up feature which I believe works exactly as you describe.
