I love it when a game crashes and you can see the temp title they used when they started working on it.

This is Avowed.



The Beauty of Being Average


"...Let’s change the narrative. What if an “average” life means a job that pays the bills, relationships that matter, and a home filled with laughter and dishes—not something to escape but something to honor?

"There’s dignity in showing up daily, even when no one applauds. There’s significance in being a reliable friend, a compassionate stranger, and a steady coworker. These roles seldom go viral, but they weave the fabric of society together in ways that fame and fortune seldom can."



Public service announcement: this is *not* a dire wolf.

It is a genetically modified grey wolf made to resemble an extinct species, so a bullshit company can raise more money for their bullshit projects.

#Deextinction is a scam on so many levels I don't even know where to begin. It will *not* help us save endangered species. Instead, we should spend our money on preserving their habitats *before* they go extinct.



The saga continues. Is this the first rite of passage for every #nyc transplant? 😬

every day the keybase blog becomes slightly more depressing

the last post they made is from when zoom acquired them, and it ends with

we'll be in touch if anything changes with Keybase.


it's weird because keybase still works, and they still (very rarely) publish patches for the client, but like... for how long



I've just published a new page on my website documenting the last 3 months on an art residency exploring fire through the plant aiteann (gorse) and its relationship to sitka spruce: shanefinan.org/VAP/15_aiteann.…

This was part of the international research project investigating wildfires called FIRECULT. For the project, I created charcoal and made new drawings, made work with fire, and created two new video artworks.

A 'US-made iPhone' is pure fantasy.

Look at their suppliers, which Apple publishes itself

in reply to Frank Aylward

@foaylward to shift all that manufacturing capability into the US? billions for sure, plus a multi-year lead time and significant yield losses in the first decade of operation, and likely a fairly significant loss of functionality / capability in the process. if you want to add upstream material supplies to the list, the cost rises sharply, as does the lead time. not to mention the likelihood of multiple private monopolies developing in the process, with knock-on cost issues.
in reply to Graham Sutherland / Polynomial

@gsuberland oh for sure. I was musing about the cost of a single iphone if everything was made here. Assuming the transition was even possible (which I don't think is the case) they would run for ridiculously high prices.

Ready to run impactful webinars but unsure how to get started? 🤔

From setting up your environment to moderating a live session, here’s everything you need to know about hosting webinars in Nextcloud Talk:

nextcloud.com/blog/host-webina…

in reply to Nextcloud 📱☁️💻

This blog post doesn't mention Nextcloud Talk's "High-Performance Backend" at all, so it's a mixed message. Is the HPB needed, or not?

Also, when will this code be integrated with the default Nextcloud Talk app by default, so additional installation and maintenance is no longer needed for basic app functionality?

Vibe coding on Linux? These 7 editors won't disappoint. 🔥

itsfoss.com/vibe-coding-editor…

in reply to It's FOSS

vibe coding can help solve areas you might get stuck with, because the LLM can code things in a way that does things differently that you might not have thought of. Even if the code isnt perfect, it can help give ideas and you can manually correct it.


Want a more secure Linux setup? Check out these nine tips.

itsfoss.com/improve-security-l…

in reply to It's FOSS

Another security tip: Don't use Debian or LTS distros. Those distributions constantly use outdated software and usually only fix security issues if they have a CVE number.

Ubuntu also does not guarantee any fix to "Universe" packages. Even well known software with critical security issues might not get fixes, if the package maintainer loses interest (this for example happend with Mozilla Seamonkey webbrowser in the past!)

in reply to It's FOSS

Just use NixOS. Since nothing runs, malware is just as likely to fail execution as 90% of normal software.

"Cuts of 30 to 70% are rumored at USDA next week. NIH & NSF funding is being destroyed & the agencies themselves facing cuts.

About 3,500 nonfederal entomologists depend on these agencies. We're🚨risking research that protects #ecosystems & #foodsecurity."

It's difficult to keep up with all the atrocities, but we amplify the gravity of the losing these experts, the firings, existential threats... of the #TrumpMusk admin.
