Launch tomorrow of our exhibition showing three years of work about grievability, solastalgia, and land at The Dock, Carrick-on-Shannon, Leitrim (Ireland).
We'll have a performance and procession at 2:30 sharp.
thank you for the post. I was genuinely considering getting a board to try out some lower-level programming after spending the last 7 years in webdev / JS land. Are there any alternatives you would recommend?
Sad to see a beloved ecosystem get taken behind the barn..
It was popular, but actually the stacking hat idea was poor and the IDE underwhelming. I've got a board, but usually I just put a PIC18F on stripboard with desired I/O, programming header and maybe a USB socket. Early ones in Assembler or C, later ones programmed in JAL. Or use a Raspberry Pi, though I think HW form factor / layout is poor. My Arduino is gathering dust.
I guess Adafruit will be looking for a replacement platform. Qualcomm are a double dip patent troll.
today Arduino, tomorrow maybe Raspberry, who knows. Capitalism always benefited from enclosing the commons. A lot of meritocracy in the discourse, but then in the practice, steal all you can from the community. I am aware that FOSS has to allow all freedom, but I prefer the licenses that prevent closed source corpos from stealing us and enclosing us out of what we the community made great together...
The Arduino community will slowly die. Big tech can't seem to understand why the thriving things they buy wither after purchase. They don't understand the changes they make to enrich themselves are the very things that make them lose money.

Make a backup of your Snap apps and application data and restore them to a new Linux system where Snap is supported. Works between Ubuntu and non-Ubuntu distros, too.

Just read an article detailing how Microsoft executives are confused and upset that people don't appreciate their AI features and don't like people giving them shit about them on Twitter. "How are people not impressed with this stuff?"
Fellas, have you used the internet lately? It's fucked. Have you used Windows? Fucked. It's shit. People are sick of it being shit, because it didn't used to be as shit as this. You've gone and fucked everything, that's why people aren't happy with you.
my local grocery store just started selling chestnuts. i was amused by this because i never thought of them as a real item you could buy, merely symbols of christmas that exist in song. so i bought one (1) chestnut for a quarter and now its in my toaster oven.
AI-generated "evidence" is infecting the legal system. Until judges come down HARD on the the lawyers doing this stuff -- and until some of the lawyers are disbarred -- these sleazebags will poison the system completely.
AI’s growing abilities to create realistic videos, images, documents and audio have judges worried about the trustworthiness of evidence in their courtrooms.
"Many of these societies required convening all of the people – men, women and children – for major political, military, diplomatic and land-use decisions. Hundreds or even thousands might show up, depending on how momentous the decision was."
Native American communities were elaborate consensus democracies, many of which had survived for generations because of careful attention to checking and balancing power.
I'm a mix breed. "We" means either Chickasaw or European for me.
The original peoples of Turtle Island went through their own stages of collective political growth, and their systems matured at different rates across the continent.
The European peoples had a need to escape their own oppressive cultures. Sadly, they did not look deeply enough into what values and outlooks were the core of their troubles, and thereby brought their problems with them. Because they advanced technologically faster than they grew in wisdom, they had the means to simply become the people they sought to escape.
Not only the means to become the people they sought to escape, but perhaps also the desire. Throw in the USA ideal of so-called "equality" where anyone can strive to be the president, or, these days, a billionaire, and, well, here we are!
I really hope either an alternative browser that's fully standard compliant shows up, or at least that a big enough org. to maintain it actually forks firefox and keep it clean. Building and maintaining a modern browser is a daunting task, and Mozilla *clearly* can't be trusted for staying in its lane. If they kept all their AI craze in an actual separate product, I wouldn't mind them looking into it. But Firefox is too important for them to keep messing up.
Twenty five years ago, Microsoft Internet Explorer had 95% browser market share — controlling how most people saw the internet, and who could build what and on what terms. Mozilla was born to change this.
yep Mozilla see you when you get back to upholding that mission
"Mozilla has always been focused on making the internet a better place. Which is why pushing AI in a different direction than it’s currently headed is the core focus of our strategy right now." Mozilla has what, 4% of browser share if that? Pick a struggle lmao
I'm curious to see what financial statements come out of Mozilla in the next year or so.
These tech companies tend to promote AI when they've invested a lot of money in to AI and subsequently want return on that investment. So far, a lot of that return has been attempting to sell to the public, or forcing and measuring its use internally.
Larian have updated Baldur's Gate 3 with Hotfix #35, which includes more improvements to their Native Linux build supported on the Steam Deck with SteamOS.
Nice, but you've got to wonder how Microsoft ended up owning the copyright, so I looked it up on Wikipedia.
Zork was created by students at MIT in 1979. The same year, they formed Infocom to commercialise it. In 1986, Infocom was bought by Activision, which became Mediagenic and then reverted to Activision. It created a holding company which merged with Vivendi Games in 2008 to form Activision Blizzard. Microsoft acquired Activison Blizzard in 2023.
Just a couple of days ago we mentioned getting eaten by a Grue to my 16-year-old, who named a dozen D&D monsters in an attempt to figure out what we talking about.
It was only when reading it with my kids that I realized the secret message: Calvin acts like Calvin because adults almost never play with him. Like, actually play.
This becomes clear in just a few strips, the exceptions. Like the one where his dad finally drops his work and runs around with Calvin for a day. And everything goes great.
Coming across it by pure chance recently, Bioflux - Horde is an upcoming survival game with enemy numbers that actually look like true hordes of infected.
Here's a nice chance to grab a bunch of remasters in the Masterful Remasters Bundle from Green Man Gaming including Tomb Raider, Legacy of Kain and more.
After being funded on Kickstarter back in 2019, dreamed up by actual janitors, the SNES styled JRPG set in a world of trash Kingdoms of the Dump is out now.
