I might well do that once my newest blog is up fully and I've committed to to paper the things that are rattling around in my mind.

I will have many things to say on #RaspberryPi OS and #Linux 😁




Sid Meier's Civilization VI gets a 'Leader Pass', breaks it on #Linux and #macOS gamingonlinux.com/2022/11/sid-…
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

my question is a bit dumber, and I didn't see where that page covered it...

I have proton. I have lots of games that work through it...but Civ is the Linux port and I couldn't figure out how to get the windows version instead.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

I'm using the flatpak version of Steam and did not need any workarounds to start Civ VI (v1.0.1.104).

I've actually had a much better experience on my system with all the games in my library using the flatpak version...

Outside the British Museum in London, someone’s customised an old-school phone booth. A stuffed fox in a suit is making a call, a squirrel’s looking scandalised, and all the prostitution cards making puns on different woodland creatures. #london #publicart #Taxidermy #art #streetart #BritishMuseum #vice

'Assembly': New artwork at Jackie Clarke Collection
clarkecollection.ie/whats-on/e…

Some information on my new interactive art installation. It is about why we collect what we collect, including how technologies and social/historical narratives influence our choices.

Media include over 10 films and 100 animations on projection and two screens, print on paper, sculpture, autograph books, Python, Processing, Rust, a network router, timber and more to tell a complicated story. #art

My recent art installation "Assembly" invites people to add their stories to an autograph book that is present on site. When I went back to visit, this particular one warmed my heart.

brilliant, I'll take that over any art critic any day, what a lovely reaction!


We just had an inspiring transatlantic zoom conversation about the ecological dimensions of Mastodon hosting and how that is intertwined with the practices of users and moderators. This goes back to a Twitter/Mastodon debate (below). :mastohero:

We want to build something together and reflect on the process here and in other media. Yeah!

in reply to Stefan Laser🗜️

Also very interested, particularly in hidden energy use, eg. data processing for advertising or electrical spread when servers are distributed.

Not Mastodon/federation, but I did come across this interesting analysis of Big Blue Button vs Teams/Zoom that you might find useful: njoseph.me/shaarli/shaare/yFvh…

(Not enough space left to tag the others on this post...)

Grow or prune, can go either way. When I had academic ambitions that was the greatest fear, uncertainty. A career needs both luck and encouragement/stamina. Meowing won't help.

That goes to say, I like cutie cat on the right and its older cousin!


#tumblr decided to become relevant again, I hope that this hatred of Twitter does drive support for ActivityPub and the Fediverse #TwitterTakeover

in reply to Brodie Robertson

it would truly be a life saver to not need to sign up and manage multiple social media accounts if existing and future platforms implement ActivityPub.



The @NASA_Orion spacecraft is now on its seventh day into the #Artemis I mission.

Orion will exit the lunar sphere of influence, or the gravitational pull of the Moon, at 11:31 pm ET (04:31 UTC) and continue traveling toward distant retrograde orbit. go.nasa.gov/3OuAUXS

Over millions of years, the Colorado River carved through ancient sedimentary rocks even as tectonic forces caused the entire landmass to rise. go.nasa.gov/3Ev4LLf

An astronaut on the @Space_Station took this photograph of the river. 🧑‍🚀 📸

It was a bright and dusty day when the Aqua satellite acquired this image of sediment swirling in the Gulf of Alaska. go.nasa.gov/3tSAyAQ 🛰️

A tiny asteroid harmlessly lit up the sky in Canada on Nov. 19 – and astronomers saw it coming. It was detected 3.5 hours before impact, and then @nasa’s Scout impact hazard assessment system calculated where and when it would enter Earth’s atmosphere. go.nasa.gov/3GDaO2Y

in reply to NASA

Wow, gorgeous shot. I saw a streak exactly like this speed by one night last year. Eerily magical, fraction of a second encounter.



One of @NASA_Orion’s four solar arrays is seen in detail during deployment shortly after the uncrewed #Artemis I mission launched at 1:47 a.m. EST on Nov. 16, 2022.

Want to see more photos and video? Imagery is being added throughout the mission here: flic.kr/s/aHBqjAfKs1

But e.g. images.nasa.gov/details-art001… ended up in a different place - what is stopping NASA from putting all Artemis I images in the *same* album???





The cosmic drama at play in the Orion Nebula rivals its namesake Greek legend. Observations from three telescopes reveal that the region is being transformed by the massive stars that live and die within it. go.nasa.gov/3ERR2iW

in reply to NASA

don't hesitate cosmic forces that collect dust bunnies have any thing in common with nebulae formation?
