I cannot express enough how sweet my cats are. They are gentle, kind, and affectionate. Not a hint of malice in their soul. And softer than any plushie.

I see they are the most utterly ruthless apex predatorsโ€ฆ They have successfully gaslighted you into believing this
in reply to Eugen Rochko

No irony here, they really are that sweet and affectionate with us, and with each other. They're from the same litter so they've always been together, they like to fall asleep on my lap, sometimes at the same time. If they're trying to kill me, it is from cuteness overload.


I gave a TED talk last year, and I was invited to be a guest on the TED Radio Hour to put it into some more context. You can listen (and watch!) here!

Especially in a moment when public broadcasting in the US is under concerted political attack, I couldnโ€™t be prouder or more excited to get to tune my radio (!) into my local NPR station this morning to listen!

๐Ÿšจ Tor Browser opsec discovery: The security level slider cannot be relied upon without a full browser restart: privacyguides.org/articles/202โ€ฆ

If you frequently switch between security levels in Tor Browser (or Mullvad Browser!), make sure you are fully restarting the browser every time, otherwise you could still unexpectedly have dangerous JS features enabled!

This requirement is not publicly documented anywhere. Hopefully @torproject will add a prompt to restart after modifying this setting in a future Tor Browser release.

On occasion I have noticed that restarting tor browser via the 'New identity' button is not enough to avoid this issue. Only closing tor browser followed by opening it again avoids the issue.

@Michael ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Es lag an der GrรถรŸe. Ich finde, Fehler sollten benannt und nicht allgemein (z.B. forbidden) bezeichnet werden. Das wรคre sehr hilfreich.

Technisch:
Das ist ein generischer Fehler. HTTP Status code 403 ist hier definiert: datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/โ€ฆ
Woher der Fehler kommt ist damit nicht gesagt. Ich vermute(!), daรŸ eine erklรคrende Fehlerbeschreibung gar nicht so einfach zu realiseren ist.

The Ethics of Fake Guitar, by Adam Neely.

"The Sound of Rain", Scotland (2024).

From an early morning scout down on a loch shore, I initially went to see what these small ponds would look like facing in the complete other direction. When I approached on foot, I came over a small crest and was suddenly presented with gorgeous glowing light, the sound of soft rain on the water's surface, a perfectly framed mountain, and a fragment of ancient woodland.

KDE Plasma drops LTS releases but will do extra bug fix releases, along with a new Steam-like hardware survey gamingonlinux.com/2025/05/kde-โ€ฆ

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

Recently installed Tumbleweed with KDE on a tiny partition I created just to play Elden Ring (can't believe I installed linux to play a game better than windows xD ). I choose it because I remember having a great experience with OpenSUSE and KDE more than 10 years ago... but I still have the same intangible issue. It feels very customizable but unstable. The interface has already crashed on me a few times. Maybe I need to set it to run with Wayland.

Hello sir, I wanted to ask how should I start doing open source contribution as I am just starting out in developing and don't think I can write something contribute worthwhile to people who are much much better?
I feel a little lost on starting out

@asher147 You can check out the repository for your favorite open source projects, they usually lay out what kind of help they need. It is not always strictly focused on coding.
