For the first time in a country that celebrates Halloween during Halloween and I like it.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

I’ve always enjoyed Halloween. More the fun/spooky bits and not the scary/horror bits.

It’s the midway between the Autumnal Equinox and Winter Solitce as my favorite time of year. 😀







Since both my laptop and smartphone were stolen, I'm working from the fridge today.

@gamingonlinux Because you are reporting on things like this:
It seems like Apex Legends on Linux has been broken by the update today. After at most 1 min in the lobby or when trying to load any game mode, you get disconnected with a "Client not running the anti-cheat" message.
Looking at steamdb, the removed the "easyanticheat_x64.so" library required by the anti-cheat client.

He argued with his brother for days for the biggest pumpkin just to produce this.
in reply to mARTha Vandelay

Wow, thanks everyone. He is chuffed with the response. Walking around like he is the Pablo Picasso of carving.
His only criticism was I zoomed too much on the photo and is making me post another pic. He is right of course.


Happy Halloween 🎃

Here are the pumpkins I carved this year: An active red dwarf star and its gas giant planet. I call it an exo-pumpkin.

I’m not very familiar with Rollins College, but adore artist Paul Day’s beautiful sculpture on their campus entitled, “A Beautiful Day for a Neighbor.”

Rollins College is just north of downtown Orlando in the small suburb of Winter Park. It’s a beautiful campus in the neighborhood.

"Because of the attritional nature of contemporary peer review (and the level of aggression frequently encountered), successes in both papers and grants are nowadays likely to be met not with celebration, but a sense of exhausted relief. The pleasure is always fleeting."

in reply to bs2

@bsmall2 @aral
Have been using the #deathcult hashtag as a synonym of #neoliberalism, which is old fundamentalist capitalism that has come in waves, look at "classical liberalism" of the Victorian era that lead to the Irish and Bengal famines. And the last 40 years of mess in the west.

This is a mess we need to compost agen.

in reply to vagabond

@Hamishcampbell
I think the deathcult tag a good idea.. I just wonder if it should be pushed further to cover Nukes, MAD, Mutually Assured Destruction.. maybe the "classical liberalism" excuse to do stupid stuff is one aspect of a deeper, older problem...

I hope I'm not diluting the important attention-focusing effect of the tag though too.

@Birne Helene if you're interested in the subject, i followed this course recently . Very good channel with a doctor in place. Intelligence is a factor, but not a predominant one.


Thanks to @ntnsndr for this talk with Marjorie Kelly, author of Wealth Supremacy.

"Not only do we need to call out the bias and absurdity of the current system... but we need to take ourselves seriously as the next system." [my paraphrase]

Right on.

I also appreciated her quoting Robin Wall Kimmerer: "We are called to a movement made of equal parts outrage and love."

I'm glad I could catch the recording.

Why Are #Linux & Unix Admins In The Wheel Group?? youtu.be/5vmp6Pg8rWc
in reply to Brodie Robertson

This video prompted me to lookup wiki.debian.org/SystemGroups

I think it's broadly the same on Ubuntu but I wanted to understand the underlying basis and intended purposes anyway.

For example I might have been tempted to use the "staff" group for users in a workplace environment without being aware that it grants a priviledge a sysadmin may not have intended.

in reply to Brodie Robertson

i always thought it was somehow related to the mouse wheel. The group of people actually sitting in front of the PC and can use the wheel of the mouse.

Thanks for that knowledge update :blobcatlaugh:



Significant UX upgrade in Mastodon. If you're looking at someone else's post on a different server than your own, you no longer have to do multiple clicks and copy/paste to share the item.

You just put your own hosting server into the popup box and it shows you the post in context in your own timeline, and you can share it from there.

No this isn't perfect -- still too many steps.

But it's a major improvement.
