ICYMI: BattleBit Remastered and FACEIT to support Steam Deck / Linux

#SteamDeck #Linux

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

glad they addressed it, actually picked it up yesterday due to the news.

That being said I'm curious at how invasive this new version of Faceit will be, and what defines a "popular Linux distro". Hoping worst case I'll be able to run it through distrobox or similar

not a specific nebula or anything, but this is my tribute to Carl Sagan's 'shores of the cosmic ocean' quote. "The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself." #tattoos #cosmos

Alright friends, the time has come to get super official and make some business cards :blobfoxbongo:

What do we think of this? #feedback welcome and appreciated!

#advice #artadvice #askfedi

in reply to Adriano

Came to say exactly this. The design is ๐Ÿ’ฏ , just needs a bit of a change on the Q to make it more obvious it's not another O.
in reply to Dave Alvarado

same feedback! Love everything but the font makes it tough to tell a q from an o.

Also I think thereโ€™s a typo in your name or url? Quoi in name but qoui in the url

โžก๏ธ#Internet es posible gracias a infraestructuras fรญsicas conformadas por cables y satรฉlites, antenas y servidores web.

Hay redes de distribuciรณn de contenidos, servidores de bases de datos, modems y mรกs...

๐Ÿ‘† Algunos de estos elementos se encuentran en los llamados centros de datos, granjas de servidores o, coloquialmente "la nube", que de inmaterial y etรฉreo tiene poco y es un espacio mรกs bien centralizado.

in reply to Maria Antoniak

Risk #1: LLMs can produce factually incorrect text.

Risk #2: LLMs can produce untrustworthy explanations.

Risk #3: LLMs can persuade and influence, and they can provide unhealthy advice.

Risk #4: LLMs can simulate feelings, personality, and relationships.

Risk #5: LLMs can change their outputs dramatically based on tiny changes in a conversation.

Risk #6: LLMs store your conversations and can use them as training data.

Risk #7: LLMs cannot attribute sources for the text they produce.

Helixer, the whole genome annotation tool I'm currently most excited about, has been updated and has *much* better documentation now!

During the ZIKV public health crisis (2015-2018) Brazil reported low circulation of DENV. In 2018 DENV resurged with large outbreaks. DENV incidence after 2018 reveals a decrease in mean age of infection in regions most exposed to ZIKV. Using modelling we show that a combination of a short-term protection period to DENV followed by DENV disease enhancement in those exposed to ZIKV can reconcile the observed post-ZIKV DENV epidemiology.

fediblock, hatred towards Ukraine, anti-Ukrainian slurs on the screenshots

so, @/DarkShy@bronyfurry.com fediblocks us for the reason they should be fediblocked themself

this instance is anti-Ulrainian and they support russian invasion of Ukraine, the rule 7 on their instance is "don't be Ukrainian" (pic 1)

the admin has displayed their hatred towards Ukraine multiple times, there are screenshots, the English translation is put into alt text. they also have Z, the main symbol of russian aggression, in their username

they previously defederated an Ukrainian instance on their Mastodon server because it was Ukrainian

the reason of fediblocking us was because @sarahquartz and I showed up in their replies after all the fascist and anti-Ukrainian sentiments they've posted today, basically because we supported Ukraine here

I advise you to #fediblockbronyfurry.com for #fascism
