For all the new people who have arrived, here's a tool you might enjoy, the Mastodon/Fediverse Circle Creator. It does an analysis of the people who interact with you the most and then gives you a list of the top 50 of them.

circle.grasserisen.de

And then you can go and question the rest about why they don't seem to care about your wellbeing.

Run CachyOS and Windows together and get the best of both worlds.

When there is no other choice, dual boot is an option; whatever the Linux distro is.
The point is more to avoid any dependance to Windows only software.
Note: a Peertube link would be more in line with the FOSS approach (instead of a Youtube one).

Best of "Windows"? What could be the best of Windows as per FLOSS?



i have now seen star wars episodes one and two, and i watched them the way lucas intended: as a pan & scan crop on a low res TFT display accompanied by the dulcet tones of a quiet yet ruthlessly persistent buzzing noise while severely jet lagged and moderately sleep deprived.

i only fell asleep four times.

i thought attack of the clones was alright. doesn't compare to the original trilogy imo. i was distinctly less appreciative of the phantom menace. i was too tired to watch the third one, so i never found out what happened to that wacky anakin character. i sure hope he doesn't turn to the dark side, or that qui gon guy is gonna look like a complete tool.

my wife told me before watching that episode 1 has a single funny joke involving jar-jar. i think she over counted by one. we both agree on the number of funny jar-jar jokes in episode 2 (that being zero).

not giving them review scores because it's not really fair to do that if i kept falling asleep due to jet lag.

for the longest time, i'd seen people dunking on the "coarse and rough and irritating" line. you'd see it in The Seven Lamest Lines in Movie History on cracked dot com and the like.

but having watched the scene... it makes sense. anakin is an awkward teenager desperately trying to impress the (literal) girl of his dreams. he puts his foot in his mouth constantly.

most people cut off the quote after the sand bit, but there's more: "not like here. everything here is smooth. especially you." he's trying to casually make an analogy about how attractive padme is. he's a lovesick teen! of course he talks like that!

the quote accomplishes what it's setting out to do: it shows that anakin has butterflies for this girl. it's a good line! it's not delivered poorly, it's delivered exactly how it should be!

If you’re into Raspberry Pi, you’ll love these innovative 3D-printed cases I came across.

There are definitely some cool ideas in this article, though I'm pretty dissapointed it doesn't even mention the design in the thumnail.


This week's comic is about how easily conventional wisdom gets turned on its head by bad faith actors, especially in a media environment lacking responsible editors.

sadly the lead was found in pea protein, which has a niche market among vegans. The kinds of people you'd expect to ignore science will definitely be embracing this report. The deadshit meatheads will be Trollface lolling on their podcasts and saying THIS JUST PROVES YOU NEED MEAT. Confirmation bias and all that.

I was considering doing this just to play Skate specifically, as its anti-cheat detects and refuses to work under Wine and VMs, but now that Sonic Rumble has been released and uses an anti-cheat system that officially supports Wine, I've decided to keep my computer 100% Linux, as it has been for the last 5 years.

The Plex transition was practically impossible. I followed the main guide and a more deeper guide on transferring registry to XML.

Sadly most of the metadata was lost and playlists (largely Plex's fault) didn't transition.

So I put my Windows build on a travel pc I had that has the N-Series of processors by intel. I don't think it will ever be more than a media server going forward.

But I did nuke my entire steam library and moved that towards linux, mainly to my steam deck.




Today we celebrate the birthday of not one, but two amazing women in science! 🤗🎉Marie Skłodowska-Curie (1867), who discovered #radium & #polonium & pioneered #radioactivity, & Lise Meitner (1878), whose brilliance uncovered the physics behind #nuclearfission. Happy birthday! #OTD #WomenInStem #WomeninScience

Magnificent color rendering.
Very nice.
I can almost touch the branches. Lovely how they are isolated from the background.

Threats to conservation from artificial-intelligence-generated wildlife images and videos

"Three distinctive characteristics of contemporary society can exacerbate this issue: the pervasive use of social media, anthropomorphizing of animal behavior, and disconnection from nature."

#ai #AISlop #wildlife #nature

in reply to Frank Aylward

I think the most important message here is that we need #mediaLiteracy.

Unfortunately, the trend of #alienation from nature, #anthropomorphising etc. began long before #AI: with the #instagramisation of life. Now it's the mass of #AISlop.

Which is different from #AI as #ML. In our nature park we try to reconnect children with nature via technics: on excursions in the forest etc. they may use their ID-Apps (which work with AI!) ... and many know more about species than their parents.

Frank Aylward reshared this.

Yes, but... the mental age of Americans writ large seems to be < 35 y.o. Sadly.
That aside (in a bell curve, 50% ARE "of average intelligence) the average voter today is saturated in propaganda, both blatant and subliminal. Scary time.

This week in Linux, I'm back! Well kind of. I'm still recovering but I wanted to try. I dont know when TWIL will come back on a weekly basis but I wanted to at least start the process ... especially since Linux news has been INSANE since I've been gone!
