I'm sorry for doing this to you, but I made your little article about wine 10 changes into a podcast with eleven Labs but hey they even added the comments to the story in it.
Anyway I can't wait to get some time off to checkout wine's new version and any improvements to compatibility with the programs I use every day. The future of Linux - the everything system looks bright.

I have been on a mission to track down what to do with old pet medicines. The pet stores that sell some of them might accept them, but will throw them into the tip. I called the veterinarian clinic, and they said they will take them but throw them into the tip. What?! including anti-biotics and other toxins? This is irresponsible. We don't want these poisons in our landfills damaging the soil.

Evidently, in the UK they have a specific program for collecting pet medicines. Finally, in Australia I found that you can take these medicines to the chemist for disposal. This has only come into effect two years ago! A number of vets don't even know about this.

Please dispose of ALL old and unused medicines thoughtfully!

I'm sorry about this. When the Summer Heat Waves hit Utah again in 2025, I may have to find a room in a basement to live. I'm going to start looking - Now! But even a room would cost $1,000 +. Housing is outrageous! The other alternative is to try to turn my 2nd Floor condo/apartment into a cave by blocking out all sunlight - and taking lots of Vitamin D supplements, and use a sun lamp. I can no longer use an air conditioner due to excessive City noise and pollution coming inside my home through the vents. I used fans and slept through the most part of the day to survive the heat od the 2024 Summer. It's all a horrible way to live - but one must adjust, and go on living.

Hmmm… I feel like someone’s watching me (she’s lying at the base of my inclined chair by my feet) 😂

We have always relied on the oil and gas industry to self-report methane emissions. Now we have independent ways to of measuring those emissions and it turns out they were lying about the emissions. By a lot. The blue lines are actual measurements. The pink are industry numbers.

@strypey I just think composable moderation is a meaningful site of decentralization, even according to Christine's definition.

But I totally agree that, if the base flows of data are centralized, composable moderation (e.g., running a labeler or a feed) is just working someone else's plot.

Exactly. It's easy to imagine the list of design requirements Titter management gave the BlueSky team on day 1;

'Ok, so we want to outsource all responsibility for mod work to our users, and as much of our hosting costs as possible. But we still want to be able to decide who can be visible on the whole platform. Oh and make people watch ads. You can do that, right?' ; )

It wouldn’t be #caturday if I didn’t share any cat pictures. Here’s Sam looking particularly chuffed with himself, loafing on the couch in a nice sunbeam. #CatsOfMastodon



‘She was right and they were wrong’: the female astronomers hidden by science’s male elite


"Eighty-five years ago, several dozen eminent astronomers posed for a photograph outside the newly constructed McDonald Observatory near Fort Davis in Texas. All were men – with one exception. Half-concealed by a man in front of her, the face of a solitary woman can just be made out in the grainy black and white image.

"This is Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin, whose impact on our understanding of the cosmos was profound. She showed stars were primarily made of hydrogen and helium, contradicting the scientific orthodoxy of the 1920s, which held that they were made of an array of elements. Her claims were suppressed and her work obscured, like her image on the McDonald Observatory photograph..."
