Hey video folks! Hyper 8 Video System 0.24 - the last beta ahead of the 1.0 release in October (!!) ^^ - is out as of today!
Above all else this release turns #hyper8 into a full-fledged desktop application. 👍 This in turn means that I'm overhauling and extending all packaging processes (and will keep doing so the coming days) and today is therefore more of a "soft launch" 😀
Debian, Arch and Windows are already provided with packages for the full desktop edition, macOS for the time being still with a homebrew-based CLI only build (with an apple silicon .app release in the making) and there are likely more Linux packages coming still. 8) I'll do the full, formal announcement as soon as all packages are in place ...
... until then check out these exciting exciting release notes ヽ(⌒▽⌒)ﾉ and test away!!

@h5e agreed. i tried searching the languagetool github repo for the phrase(s) but couldn't find anything. i have no clue where the corresponding file is - couldn't find it with github search or sourcegraph. the identifier DT_NNS_AGREEMENT doesn't appear anywhere in the code.
i considered cloning the repo and git grepping for it, but after i saw i'd download a gigabyte of data and was only 12% done, i gave up on that idea 😅

I'm fascinated by this image. Meta's planned 5GW Hyperion Data Center overlaid on Manhattan to demonstrate its size.
If you ever needed an image of how digital colonialism looks at home, here it is. And, remember, Zuckerberg published it himself. Btw, 5 GW requires 5 dedicated nuclear power plants (probably more if you factor in redundancy).

They want us to be like outdoor cats.
Such a good analogy.
Outdoor cats have less chronic disease and obesity than indoor cats. So is there "something" about "nature" that's good for cats?
Outdoor cats only live for 3 years, indoor cats? live for 10 years or more. **Outdoor cats don't live long enough to get chronic disease.**
And there is even that kernel of truth in the grift. Indoor cats don't get enough exercise. TRUE! Processed cat food isn't as nutritious.

Fediverse! I need some help!
I have a fellowship to go to Aotearoa New Zealand for a few weeks, and also an offer of an additional fellowship to give lectures around NZ. This is INCREDIBLY EXCITING!!
...but I have a lot of animals! And it's going to be during Saskatchewan winter! The potential farm sitters I've reached out to locally have all fallen through, so I need help to find someone.
Not sure if I should put out an actual farm sitting job ad here? Or if there are better places to try?
