VR game streaming tool ALVR adds PipeWire support on Linux

While the Linux support of ALVR is still quite rough due to various issues with SteamVR, ALVR is a very promising way to stream VR games to your headset via Wi-Fi and a new release is out now with v20.9.1.

This is the portrait that made it into the Victorian Artists Society portrait exhibition which opened yesterday. Thuan, the subject of this painting, joined me for the fun! Two of my art class mates were telling him that he looked just like his painting! LOL!

#myart #art #portraiture anything else? BTW any guesses on what genre I can say this fits into that isn't realism?

Ages ago we were gifted with a night at a B&B in Montana that was a wolf sanctuary. They took in captive bred wolves that had been raised by people as pets, 'stunt' animals from the entertainment business, or other sanctuaries that had excess animals.
They had a big enclosure for their pack just outside of the B&B. They had several pups that we got to interact with. Very mouthy little critters with the cutest of tiny howls. They liked to chew on shoe laces. In the evening the wolves ( there were 8-10 ) howled. It was an interesting experience. Howlers Inn

NASA crew emerges from simulated Mars mission after more than a year in isolation

After a year-long voyage to Mars that never left Earth, four volunteer crew members have emerged from their simulated habitat.

Nathan Jones, Anca Selariu, Kelly Haston and Ross Brockwell entered the 3D-printed habitat on June 25, 2023.

They are the maiden crew of the space agency's Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog (CHAPEA) project.

The quartet spent 378 days inside the 1,580 square metre space at the Johnson Space Centre in Houston.

Once they emerged, Haston, the mission commander, began with a simple "Hello".

"It's actually just so wonderful to be able to say hello to you all," she said.

I am not a design guy, designers might as well be speaking another language comparing 2 identical shades of grey but there is lot of really interesting discussion around GNOME's choice to move from the Cantarell font to Inter, little things that I never considered, fonts like software are never complete, they do require on going maintenance gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gsettin…

Switch font to Inter (#52) · Issues · GNOME / gsettings-desktop-schemas · GitLab

We've long been discussing this within the GNOME design team, but recently realized there was no issue filed. So I'm filing it here to track it.

on #mastodon my timeline is clean I can release the publications of the lists that I want to look at the same time. on #Friendan I ordered my circles and my channels correctly. Is there a way to block or authorize a circle to display publication on the Timeline.

Here's a teaser, a little stingless bee pollinating Mexican sunflower:

I live at the very tippy-top of Melbourne, Australia.
My house is less than a block from farms to the east and forested areas to the south (sadly, not publicly owned).
This morning while I was driving into the city to watch a film at a festival I had to: honk my horn at ducks who were warming their feet on the road, and stop for a kangaroo doing the the same! "Shoo, buddy! Shoo!"
We've been having a cold snap.
