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"

It's Nobel Prize Season! Here is a handy guide to the prizes that will be awarded this month.

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

New financed postmarketOS project: wireplumber and callaudiod https://lemmy.ml/post/34820962

I've never believed in work, and no attempt to engage in it seems to make the world or my life any better. I'm done. I quit.

"No one should ever work.

Work is the source of nearly all the misery in the world. Almost any evil you’d care to name comes from working or from living in a world designed for work. In order to stop suffering, we have to stop working."

Thanks to all the amazing people that have donated to postmarketOS, we were able to pay @flamingradian to make call audio more reliable in Linux Mobile: by replacing callaudiod with a wireplumber plugin! 🤙

Shout out to @mobian's @awai as well as pipewire folks for consulting on how to get this done technically and to @pabloyoyoista for mentoring this project!

"This is the technology worth developing"

Paraphrasing @yabellini's closing statement:

The #RStats community is a great example of a technology that:
- helps people and not exploits them
- is at the service of the people using science

This powerful talk shows how truly valuable and necessary our community of practices are. If you are part of @rOpenSci, @DSLC, @thecarpentries, etc, this talk will fill you with joy.

If you have not yet joined one of these communities, take a look! We can all become stronger in our practice together!
