Absolute banger of a post shared by @tarakiyee on another network. Every other paragraph is quote-worthy.

"That impulse to scour away the messiness that makes life resilient is what many conservation biologists call the pathology of command and control. Today, the same drive to centralize, control and extract has driven the internet to the same fate as the ravaged forests."

This is a really excellent analysis of the opportunities and risks of an effort I'm involved with—ensuring tokenized cooperative ownership is widely available under US law: https://ownership.substack.com/p/should-the-sec-update-cooperative

Okay I finally got back to my super commuter bike project. Did some welding this evening and got the front triangle together. Just need to add one more pivot near the bottom bracket.

Lillian Gish leans on Jesus (and her shotgun) in THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER (1955).

Charles Laughton's Noir parable is on Tubi.

Hey, for anyone looking for an alternative to #Meetup dot com, just a heads up that there's a Fediverse alternative. It's called Mobilizon.

I'm starting to use the US instance (mobilizon.us) for tech and dance events here in the DC area.

And hey, #Elixir people? It's written in our language.

Bob Ross art from his 1983-94 TV show will be auctioned to support PBS.

30 paintings will be sold. Two were auctioned earlier this year for a combined $210K.

"I can’t think of a more meaningful way to share his works of art than by supporting public television"

My buddies start pulling on their ski masks and checking their submachine guns.
"Brace yourselves!" the driver yells, and we smash through the high fence protecting the USDA's National Stone Fruit Reserve Facility, the "Fort Knox of Plums".
"Do you think we're taking this bit too far?" I ask, but my buddy smacks me in the shoulder.
"There's no time for cold feet now! You need to stay focused on the cold sweets we're about to steal from Uncle Sam's own icebox."

Hey, lately, I've been generally unmotivated to contribute to free and open-source projects because I can't sustain myself long-term. I can't find any local or online job that allows me to make a positive impact and not feel depressed. I am not receiving a sufficient number of donations — the last one was over a month ago.

I would really appreciate some donations. Your support would enable me to continue working on accessibility throughout @gnome and writing educational and informative articles.

You can donate to me via: Liberapay (preferred), Ko-fi, and GitHub Sponsors.

Boosts welcome and very much appreciated.

#NoMansSky has released its 39th free (𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘵) update to the game

Now 9 years old, it has well-and-truly redeemed itself, and more than that...just keeps on surprising!

My one reminder to folks is that #GOG have the game on their platform, and it runs 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘺 on the #SteamDeck - not one issue!

Yeah!! Thanks everyone for helping me out! ❤️

I just placed an order for a new (used) system, should have it in about a week, then the fun begins 😁

You should be able to use the apps and app stores that you trust without any gate keeping from your operating system. That’s a big part of why we chose to build our app store on @FlatpakApps
