in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

but the question I can't find the answer to is:

Who are the people *buying* this rubbish on the steam market??

Hundreds of thousands of clickers faming stickers to sell is one side of this economy, supply seems in excess, but where is the demand? Where is the money coming from?

Also how long until we see 'sticker clicker' mini games appearing in AAA titles as some VP at a major developer thinks there is a bandwagon to be hopped on?

I just wish they'd not abandon the older cards and at least make them functional on linux with open source drivers. My GTX 1080 weeps.

I came to leave a comment and then saw the others and felt the issue was already addressed properly.

Totally looks like a giant ... squid, yeah that's about right.

I'm just glad the different filters making up each colour channel so rarely result in brown objects.

I have always dreamed of having something like this!

An enclosed electric bike!


pod bike

in reply to Muse

I like the road visibility of this e-bike. Sure the height gives it some drag--and makes it look adorably dorky, but I appreciate sharing the road with bikes I can see in order to drive safely around them. I'm sure smart bicyclists appreciate being seen!



Be informed!

I guessed the operation of the arms, at least. But the "bilge pump" operation was nice to get verified, because I have been occasionally worried about what sort of water gets circulated in there 😁

I passed this unreal tree today on my way to meet my daughter for lunch. At lunch, my daughter told me she wanted to walk me home on a particular path to show me a really cool tree that I might want to photograph. It was the same one, of course.

I guess this is what moss looks like after the sporophytes have blown their tops and dispersed their spores? Thanks to the hashtag #mosstodon I've paid a lot closer attention to moss this year so this is all new to me.

@lwpembleton we looked into an institutional license at my uni, but they refused to discount anything, so it would have been full price for thousands of people.


One of the most fascinating facts about online advertising is how every product or business you interact with from your TV to your grocery store literally sells your data to advertisers EXCEPT the companies everyone thinks sells your data, social media apps and Google.

The answer to why your Smart TV was so cheap is that part of the price is your viewing habits being used and sold for targeted advertising.

This is why I went the projector route instead of buying a TV.
