Just Posted: Musk eases off the gas on return to office order as too many take severance instead, washingtonpost.com/technology/…

Twitter’s Musk says most-valuable employees can stay remote amid signs of revolt

The revision came as several Twitter employees said they were surprised by the large number of their colleagues who were opting to accept severance rather than sign a pledge to work harder.

Ouch. People complain at times about Steam Deck game performance, but one of the new flagship Nintendo Switch games (Pokemon) struggles to keep 30FPS 😬

This is a game tailor made for the Switch 🤦‍♂️, most Steam Deck games use a translation layer…

@gamingonlinux The last few games I played on Switch (Xenoblade 3, Nier, Bayonetta 3) look like they're 2 generations ahead of any Pokemon game released on Switch and run fine. The problem is the developers, they're notoriously bad at what they do and the pace at which they release games doesn't help (I mean, they released 3 games in 1 year). Apparently for some reason these devs even reject assistance from Nintendo so even if they were made for PC the games would still be broken.

I find the Indonesian comment from 2005 very interesting. I have never went to internet cafes, so I can't say anything about that, but stores actually selling computers with Linux installed as an operating system is now pretty much nonexistant. I have never once encountered one. Pirating Windows is much more common and most of the people I know aren't even aware of Linux until I told them about it.

This comission is proof that if the client really doesn't know what he wants he can still get a good product.

With the downside that it'll take 3x more to complete.

He wanted a mosaic of his favorite characters from The Last of Us, Dead by Daylight, God of War, Battleblock Theater and CsGo.

It wasn't really hard to do, the dude just really didn't know how to explain what he wanted.

This concept continued development up to the late 90s, Space Station Freedom and Mir-2 (and early ISS concepts) were all intended to have solar-dynamic power production in addition to photovoltaics. Rocketdyne even built a test system. But ultimately PV got a lot better, meanwhile ISS became less ambitious, and solar-dynamic turned out harder than expected, so it was dropped early in ISS dev (Russia's Science Power Platform for ISS was the last major proposal using it)

@Gargron Plz consider writing on the joinmastodon website AND on the android/ios descriptions of the apps to ask people to use the mobile/web site instead of the apps for the time being. We are losing a LOT of new users because the app doesn't work well. Lots of complains about it. Plz tell ppl to use the web for now. It needs to be written on all the pages/sites where the app is available, so people know what to do from the get go, before they get a bad first impression.

Pride Toronto, misdirection of funds, settler-colonialism

It has come to light that #PrideToronto has, at time of publishing, willfully misdirected at least CA$2,850,000 of federal grant money that was meant for #Indigenous #artists. What's more, the various federal agencies who failed to prevent this have been unwilling to hold #PrideTO accountable.

Shout out to Tom Hooper for investigating this and making the results and sources public at pridegrants.ca.

Made a simple #breakout #PCB for the #UVC #led I found on Amazon, with ample room to add #filtering #circuitry and #current limiters later. The part is way too small to hand solder without experience so a cheap #PCBWay breakout is in order. Arriving Monday. Gotta love a quiet evening #tinkering 😀
3d printed black jig on a white surface that holds a glass rod, bookended by white luer lock fittings. A small blue pcb sits in a depression in the jig with a small UVC light sensor facing directly into the glass tube. A small gold UVC LED is placed nearby.
A line drawing of the UVC LED I found on amazon. Dimensions of footprint pads and casing are drawn. Below is a simple schematic showing the two LEDs (UVC and UVA) and their orientation with respect to the footprint pads.
A 3D render or the PCB breakout I designed. The footprint mentioned in the linedrawing is rendered near the top third of the PCB. At the bottom is a strip of pin headers in gold.
Back of 3d rendered pcb floating in a blue-gray void. White letters denote the pins. UVC/A + and - pins.
