Plenty of the Linux YouTubers have been rolling their eyes when people treat SteamOS as an option, so it'll be interesting to watch their opinions 180 (or not).

Organic debris is kinda vague, that could be twigs or a bakery's worth of white bread.

I had assumed that Steam wouldn't do this, partly because they wouldn't want to deal with supporting Linux beginners, but they certainly have the resources to do so if they are willing to.

Ah, you mean it's a shower rack turned server rack. I was confused by the title+pic and thought you'd waterproofed to run this in a shower for some mad reason.

As which one, though?

I just looked at The Creation of Adam, and 100% ol' longarm here has to be god.

I love the indignant tone of the article.

Also it's quite funny how he's doing a one-man Top Gear, first building and driving a novelty car, then going on a "grand tour"with it.

At least people appreciate the fjords, with their lovely crinkly edges.

Better than most published satire, bravo.

My first thought was that Benn Jordan did a great bit of video journalism on this, but it's already linked from the article, although without any other mention of it.

Imagine stumbling upon a fully operational pink refrigerator, stocked with cold beverages, nestled incongruously in the heart of this arid wilderness. It's not a hallucination or a mirage—it's a deliberate and whimsical creation by the Namibia Tourism Board, designed to surprise and delight weary adventurers.

Those two sentences pretty much cover it.

Watermelons became symbols of Palestine amid censorship of the Palestinian flag because of its similar colours.

Ah, ok - before reading I thought someone had got their stereotypes mixed up.

“Bibi Netanyahu’s trial should be CANCELLED, IMMEDIATELY, or a Pardon given to a Great Hero, who has done so much for the State,” Trump continued.

If he hasn't done anything wrong, why does he need a pardon?

It's an increase in reported monthly users, as now activity like voting is also considered, not just posts/comments.

I enjoy the contradiction of middleend

Scotland Yard are saying that unless they're allowed to spend £50m on Palantir, they'll have to reduce officer numbers? I can't see their logic.

We will implement a new Fediverse Auxiliary Service Provider (FASP) that will allow sharing storage and media processing between servers.

This is pretty big too, as the cost and legal risks of hosting this user content is high. They've clearly thought about the media moderation problems too:

We will build a reference implementation of a Automated Content Detection service, again as a new Fediverse Auxiliary Service Provider with an open protocol.

This will allow server owners to opt-in to use external tools to scan content for spam, illegal materials, etc in order to help them fight bad actors; they could self-host these tools if they choose to do so, or share the infrastructure with other servers for better efficiency.

This Chaotic Eclipse/Nightmare Eclipse is the same one whose opening post read:

I never wanted to reopen a blog and a new github account to drop code...

But someone violated our agreement and left me homeless with nothing. They knew this will happen and they still stabbed me in the back anyways, this is their decision not mine.

I'm guessing there's plenty more to come.

Kinda funny that they're targeting Microsoft and yet using GitHub to share the PoCs.

I had to look it up too. You might want to stop reading after the Kangaroo paragraph.

Kangaroos are born after less than a month, and then climb into the pouch, attach to a teat and stay there for half a year before being ready to face the outside world.

Spotted Hyenas gestate for about 110 days and then have to make it though the mother's pseudo penis, which can tear with first-time mothers (fatal to her) and can suffocate the cub (fatal to them) with cubs of first-time mums only having a 40% chance of surviving birth.

This reminds me of Charles Babbage's response to being asked if his computer would give the right answer if the wrong numbers were entered:

I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

I've been tempted to drop this line in meetings more than once.
