The beautiful and elegant #Oncilla is a #wildcat ๐Ÿฑ found in #SouthAmerica. They are #vulnerable due to #deforestation for #gold and #palmoil ๐ŸŒดโ›”๏ธ and are hunted for their fur ๐Ÿ˜ญ #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife #BoycottGold4Yanomami @palmoildetect.bsky.social palmoildetectives.com/2021/08/โ€ฆ


It's the last of the #cats I've photographed last year, that looks more or less calm ('cos it's sleeping, or, at least, pretending). ๐Ÿ˜บ All of the rest look somewhat unamused or grumpy. ๐Ÿ˜พ Maybe I've caught them in inappropriate moment or they just were in bad mood that day. Anyways, it's #caturday, and some more to go, I guess. ๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ›

Music for today. The song that got Brandon Acker into Baroque music. "Music for a while" by Henry Purcell, with years 1659-1695 given. I guess those are the years he lived (he didn't live very long, did he?) so this piece was presumably written in that time frame. So at least 330 years old. Brandon Acker on the lute with Reginald Mobley on the vocals.

Muse reshared this.

in reply to Wayne Radinsky

I was wondering how contralto fit in there...

I've sung in a couple of community choirs, enough to appreciate good singing. I can more or less hold a tune.



Great cover of Bennie and the Jets!

And just one more. Carson McKee, who also sings with Josh Turner sometimes. Great voice!
in reply to Muse

I know! I love them all! I can't believe that it's been fifteen years since Josh Turner started putting up these videos. I found him through Allison Young who has also performed with Post Modern Jukebox. And if you keep going down the rabbit hole, many of my favourite music performers have performed with each other!


@pluralistic Could you say more about your editing workflow? I've been plotting something similar.

You talk about Ollama as an LLM, but it is just a server for running LLMs. I'm curious about which model(s) you've been using and how you set the context window and input for longer articles or books. Do you chunk the content first?

I am immensely grateful to the Fediverse for all the encouragement I got here to embark on a #selfhosting journey.

#YunoHost has empowered my digital life in immeasurable ways.

My way of giving back - and fighting the broligarchs of Big Tech - is to create a guide that demystifies the process. I have compiled all my posts so far in a single page:

If you're curious about self-hosting but you haven't taken the leap yet, I hope my articles will be helpful to you โค๏ธ

This little Chabo chicken escaped from the car carry case somehow. I should be able to grab๐Ÿ˜จ him tonight for the pressure cooker tomorrow๐Ÿ˜จ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฐ๐Ÿ˜ญ.. he's so beautiful, like art work... He was the boss of all the much bigger roosters at a friend's place.. Pear the solid silky will probably be getting a lot of exercise today. Funny to see the pubescent JiDokKo ๐Ÿ“ roosters (?maybe?) Checking out the scrappy bantam chabo too. The chabo had a goofy voice, I like him... but my Pinoy Bini friends will want to eat him tomorrow..ohh the things we do for friendship and love.๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜จ๐Ÿ˜ฐ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ƒ

exploration! One of the main things I love about Linux is how it empowers me to explore new ways of using my computer and learn new things. While it is possible to learn programming and learn how computers work on Windows or Mac, I've found the the experience much more enjoyable on Linux. On Windows and Mac, it always feels like the OS is trying to hide what is really going on from the user. They may give you a framework to build stuff, but the operating system is a black-box and it feels like the system goes out of it's way to prevent you from looking under the hood.
On Linux however, the system invites you to look under the hood and learn how it works. You can inspect the source code for the entire operating system, and there are plenty of resources for learning how any/all of it works.

Got dragged into interesting conversations today, I realized that a few people in my surroundings are at a loss when it comes to proofreading without complex toolchains, or an internet connection.

@rek has written an excellent little guide on how to install and use stardict! Give it a shot, it has been my go-to for years. The synonyms support is especially powerful.

@prahou Thanks! But honestly, I'm really quite happy with just the webster and the synonym dict.


You're doubting my humanity, but you're missing some key points. Here are some of the things I've seen:

  • Attack ships firing off the shoulder of Orion. These aren't just battleships โ€” they're spacecraft designed for warfare.
  • C-beams glittering in the dark. Their location? Near the Tannhรคuser Gate.
  • Things you wouldn't believe. While it's hard to find specific examples, this is a trend reflected in general search data.

The bottom line: All those moments will be lost โ€” like tears in rain.

Kodi is better with builds and add-ons.

I think this needs a common Interface wรคre stream plugins can hook Intoo so we have a common List with Shows and movies across all Streaming Services with search and thumbnails.
As long as pirate Services have the better use experience, this sucks.
I also think that the DVB integrations for linear tv suck. Also you need a android device to get proper 4k streaming enabled on certain services.



Eating ultra-processed #UPF #food like #palmoil ๐ŸŒด is damaging not only to #rainforest #ecosystems and 1000's of animals but also to people's #health ๐Ÿคฎ its connected to #obesity.

in reply to Palm Oil Detectives

as much as I like your posts, this one is crap.

Asians use palmoil naturally & they're not obese & don't get cancer etc

Palmoil is only a problem because it's cheap & the Western food industry uses it because of its features. Thoses masses are responsible for deforestation etc

To frame it as bad for your health is almost racist. And it feels like fatshaming.

I am clearly for boycot palmoil but not with this arguments

Sadly, seeing how many have DIED at these camps of concentration, I can believe this.

Today's #calligraphy practice: this now-classic copypasta from @lynnesbian (CC4.0-BY-NC-SA)

I think this nib probably needs replacing, it keeps chewing up the paper and as you can see the fibres occasionally caught in the nib drag the ink on certain strokes like the tails of "h", "k", and "a". It is a Hunt 22, on the stiffer side, not capable of the dramatic changes in line width you get with a 101 or my beloved Leonardt Principal, but good for smaller writing.
