The fantastic dead leaf mimicry of the Uropyia meticulodina moth lets it hide in plain sight.

For todays #ThrowbackThursday, here’s #MarioKart DS, the first game in the series with online play.

Great game with some amazing tracks (Waluigi Pinball, Airship Fortress, Delfino Square, Luigi’s Mansion), and probably the best single player content in the series too.

Going to share a few more up-close shots of the new Mastodon merch! I'm happy that we got to incorporate some Mastodon history in the designs. Mind you there's only going to be 250 of each at launch!

Gnome is "rethinking window management". Yet again, yes. I like the actual behavior, but it's always interesting to see new ideas. https://blogs.gnome.org/tbernard/2023/07/26/rethinking-window-management/

@fuat2mb I agree. "This team of professional bible scholars interpreted it that this way, but *I* interpreted it this other way" makes me skeptical of whatever follows. The speaker is making a big claim.
I feel the same way when someone uses a politically based hermenutic approach. I think we should leave our bias's at the door as much as possible.

To help us raise more funds for our development efforts, we are launching a new line of merchandise for Mastodon including t-shirts, mugs, enamel pins, and stickers.

A bunch of new followers, hi all! I'm Jonne / laamaa, from Finland.

I like to make #chiptune / #demoscene / #VGM influenced music with trackers and #synthesizers as a hobby and I post stuff mostly related to that.

You can find my releases from Bandcamp (https://laamaa.bandcamp.com)

I'm interested in #art, #audio, #musicproduction and #gamedev. Looking forward to see familiar and new faces here, feel free to ask anything!

Introducing PI𝕏ELFED

Saw an old Daily Show clip on Threads about free speech, and it sadly seems to sum up most people.

They’re not pro all speech, just want the ability to say whatever they want, anyone else be damned.

But I think it goes a bit deeper than that. The sad truth is that everyone is pro free speech… when their opponents are in power.

If the right are in power/have social status, the left want free speech and vice versa.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/fediverse-explainer-1.6905837 has a quick, mostly accurate explainer on the Fediverse.

One of the worst parts about misattributed quotes is that they undermine the idea of objective truth.

Nelson Mandela never said that. He said a lot of important things, but that's not something that he said.

Saying that he did say it, just because it feels nice, is obscuring the real world to make a digitally-structured one of our own liking.

Things aren't true just because they feel truthy.
