My newest review is now online! I talk about Ayu Inui's newest manga series, which was a fun, character-focused yuri series discussing how clothes, and people, make us feel about ourselves.
GNOME 50 has been released! 🥳
Here’s a quick summary of the improvements which gnome-software 50 contains:
- Reduce CPU priority when running in the background
- Remember window size between restarts
- Improved error reporting in the repositories dialogue
- Improved notifications for trivial flatpak app updates
- Lots of UI papercuts fixed
- Improved question about deleting data when uninstalling an app
- More safety reporting for uncommon flatpak app permissions

Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.
While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a crow it came up that she has never been sat on by a cat. Like, not even once during childhood.
Another colleague admitted they also have never been sat on by a cat.
My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on by a cat.

Have you ever been sat on by a cat?
Please boost for scientific accuracy.

Starting to think the real risk is not AI replacing junior staff, but senior staff quitting because they just can’t take this AI bullshit any longer and just opt for early retirement.
Didn't plan to, but doing my fair share of #DecemberAdventure this March. Run into problems with shell scripting [1] with `goblin.sh` that I just didn't want to deal with, so I rewrote everyting in python [2] and oh boy do I feel better about this.
So far I rewrote the core functionality and improved it along the way. It's definitely more tui-ish now. I was also able to realise myself a wish and leverage 
@ploum's 'offpunk' [3]. Images, notes, and websites are now directly opened in the terminal (although the image doesn't show in asciinema).

Will have to improve some of the functional details, but I want to write more documentation next. I started to think a bit more seriously about the whole endeavour. `goblin` is an experiment in distributed cognition. Rather than being a command line utility, I think about it as forming an assemblage, an environment for my cognition to reside in. Let's see what this perspective does to the project.

The certificate you need to get to have the right to own a car in Singapore is now S$111K (US$85K). That’s on top of the price of the car.
To be clear, I support this. You do not need a car in Singapore. It’s 30 miles wide

So why are so many people of my generation (late stage #boomers) oblivious of mobile device courtesy?
I'm sitting in the waiting area of the tire shop. An old guy (like me), sits down pulls out his iPad and starts a television program for all to hear.
His phone rings. He takes the call on speaker phone and raises his voice to be heard over his television program. Annoyed with his own noise, he seeks a quieter location, walking away from his iPad without pausing it.
His wife is doing fine and will be ready for pick up in forty minutes. Their daughter is still mad her husband.
I know I been quieter around these parts lately. Truth is I'm entirely burnt the fuck out, I've hit a wall, and I could use some help getting back up.

This Afroman trial is giving me life.
Cops raided Afroman's house for no reason. They pointed guns at him and his kids, ransacked his house, and tried to disconnect his home security cameras. They didn't disconnect them all, and so were allegedly caught on camera stealing his money.
He then made a series of music videos using footage from his security camerasz and body cam footage. Now the cops are suing him for making the videos. The ACLU is defending him.

Opposition to Israel has NEVER made me feel like I was in danger as a Jew.
But goddamn I feel more in danger because an apartheid state on the other side of the world is committing genocide and war and saying they’re doing it in my name.
I hate that wearing something that may identify me as Jewish may indicate support for a country I want nothing to do with.

Choosing to “Remain Strong” Against Female Criticism: The vindictive storytelling of Eiichiro Oda
I admit that I tend to zone out anytime I see Nvidia, but based on the toots I've seen this week, it sounds like they rolled out that weird soap opera motion smoothing that everyone hates on TVs but they thought was a good idea for computers. Is that right? Can I go back to ignoring it now? Because that sounds really stupid and on par for Nvidia these days.
Hi Fediverse!👋 We're Volt Europa, a pan-European political party building a federal, green, and progressive Europe. 🇪🇺
