I just want them to support hybrid AMD graphics so I can use my mini gaming PC without disabling the iGPU in the BIOS, which itself causes a lot of issues.
Probably a tall order that I in no way understand the workings of.

Yeah, I reckon it'd be cool if someone's keeping a track of "social media world" events vs crazy Fediverse surges.

Might as well test out this Threads thingy… threads.net/@gaming0nlinux
So far though it’s super basic and there’s only an algorithm feed so it’s a bit gross.
Personally, I don’t care about anything that comes from that company. Morally bankrupt leadership

Tarot coloring!
I historically knee-jerk hate the Emperor card and I also don’t like the traditional RWS art. Every time I draw an Emperor I just see *PATRIARCHY INCARDNATE.*
However, I chose to try to approach this one as though I liked the card, and I’m pleased with how it turned out!
My friend thought “approach it as though you like it” is an interesting life wisdom, and I might attempt it next time I have to brave the big crowded pharmacy, etc.
#Coloring #FountainPen @penfount
The Outsider Tarot reimagined The Emperor as "The Boss" which removes the gender and focuses on the role of command in a life. It's supposed to invite thoughts on why we obey the boss, and what tools do we develop for ourselves while working for them.

I'm currently taking an evolutionary biology course so expect some fun evolution-themed content here through the summer.
The last time I took this class was in 2001 & it's exciting to recognize how much we've learned over the last 20+ years.
And I'm using your terrific book @Carl_Zimmer! (Should anyone want to check it out, it's a fantastic read carlzimmer.com/books/evolution… #science #books)
I just realised I'm using the 'bookmark' function on here specifically to make note of books I need to get.
Anyhow - bookmarked! And evolutionary content sounds fantastic.

One of the constant themes in our industry is that we have to push back against the idea that "We've always done it this way". So let's talk about the way we've always done CentOS.

If you don’t understand its purpose, you can’t improve the process.
There’s been a lot of discussion over the last week regarding CentOS, Stream, rebuilds, and Red Hat. One of the aspects common to all of the conversations I’ve seen has been the blanket assertion…Gordon Messmer (Medium)
@AlanSill I hope you get that meeting. As I'm not a Red Hat employee, I can't help you get it. 🙁
Certainly, there are free OS distributions, but they generally have a five year life cycle, like Stream, because a 10 year life cycle and a 3 year cadence means that the vendor has to maintain a lot of releases simultaneously, and many of those releases significantly differ from the upstream projects in the last five years, so backporting patches them is much more difficult.
