I haven't tried this #Steam game yet, but the #steampunk visuals remind me of Karel Zeman animated movies of 1960s. Also, Prince Rupert is unlikely #Czech hero (emigrated for certain political reasons, when he was very, very young). He was alchemist and maritime pirate and predated the era of Montgolfiere by at least 100 years...
The game looks playable, so I even may spend the 1.35€... who knows :-) (disclaimer: I am not affiliated with the autor in any way, I am just big fan of Prince Rupert of Palatinate and I consider petitioning for some place in my city of #Praha, his birthplace, to be named after him...

What I'm listening to today: "Untitled", Berlin Dub Sessions
Dub techno uses the sonic palette of dub reggae to make something different, and this uses the sonic palette of dub techno to make something… surprising, a series of musical riddles, dense rhythms that overtake and trip over themselves. One for the crowd that likes minimal techno and listening to dance music on headphones. Turn up the bass.
From 2003.
What I'm listening to today: "friendly compounds", Lime68k
From a collection of unreleased tracks 
@Limecamille dropped this month. Barrage of nonstandard scattershot beats and mysterious metal FM sounds. On this I imagine like you gave a bunch of four year olds instruments and they're just kind of going to town making joyful noise but the four year olds are all robots so all they can make is industrial space future sounds

And, if you want your pictures boosted, include an alt.
And, if you didn't, and someone posts the/an alt in replies, paste it in using edit - that person thought the image too important to not help with the effort.

"...to de-instrumentalize our understandings of one another and to assume a position of greater humility and responsibility, together. Real belief in collective knowledge may also suggest that caring for our own knowledge formation in social systems is a way of caring for the system as a whole." https://www.wrecka.ge/landslide-a-ghost-story
i think systems literacy is one of the most undervalued, and because of that untaught, things in the american information environment. every day there's a flood of new events, new information, new interpretations. if you don't have a model for how the systems underlying society work then every new bit of info emerges spontaneously, causelessly, quickly disappears into void. the models of systems each of us carries through life are brittle and wobbly but without even that we're truly lost.

Be very mindful about the content you consume online.
You might think you are above its negative influence on your mood and thoughts, but you aren't. Nobody is.
The content you consume influences the way you think over time. Even if you are on a platform to fight the opposition, what the algorithm is feeding you there will have an influence on yourself over time.
Be careful what you feed to your brain.
@Em0nM4stodonEm Heard and agree. Too many tigers in the woods to be aware of these days. Unfortunately, dopamine is a hell of a drug and I need a timer to eject me from the social media network. 🖖

Per recent discussion, I am now curious. If you have significantly reduced your Firefox usage in the last 5 years… why is that? (And what browser did you switch that usage to?)
(Please just relate your personal experiences, no screeds about relative browser superiority, thank you.)
Had a genuinely uplifting moment today. A friend’s 10 year old lit up when I mentioned Raspberry Pi. She explained Linux, hosting, and coding because they learn it at school.
We spent an hour talking self hosting and projects. She now wants a Pi for her birthday so we can learn together. Moments like this give me real hope for the future.
Just so you know, sometimes I inadvertently write typos. Yes, typos are a fact of writing life. Especially when posting when I'm tired, or without my glasses on. My autocarrot is working against me for this.
If I catch a typo early, I will edit it (thank you edit feature 🙏), but if I don't catch it early I might decide not to correct it.
The reason for this is each time you edit a post, it sends a notification to each person who interacted with it. If I edit a post with 500 boosts for a minor "it/is" typo that isn't really changing the meaning, I will be annoying at least 500 people with a notification just for this. And it's worse if I edit an already edited post.
I try to be considerate in my estimation of the annoyance of the typo vs the annoyance of the notification.
Thank you for your patience and tolerance with my typos.

#Plushtodon , #Akyo and I went into the forest to enjoy some #moss and #snow ! ❄️ 
A great opportunity to try out my new, 17 year old DSLR 📷 
It's so much fun to shoot with it! Been too many years since I last had an actual (digital) camera. Time to use it!
