Many of the apps I use have already been mentioned so I thought I’d plug Tessel.

Tessel is a colorful tile placement game. Place tiles with matching colors to make shapes and fill the board. The larger the shape, the higher the points.

Totally understand. I wouldn’t run Gentoo these days without using the binary repo. Have better things to do with my time.

It’s been a couple years since I used Gentoo. I thought multilib was pretty smooth and everything just worked. I don’t remember installing steam through flatpak. Is multilib broken in Gentoo? Am I forgetting something?

I installed it on a surface a friend’s kid gave me. Everything works I think. It’s just a torrent server atm. Basically if you’re happy with Ubuntu and Gnome with some tweaks you’ll be happy with Zorin.

It’s Irish. Ubuntu I think. It got a lot of downloads recently probably due to Windows 10 support ending.

Nice catch.

Check out the show Prehistoric Planet. There’s an episode all about them. The entire show is great and there is a new third season coming out soon.

I only learnt about this behaviour the other day. Walking down the road, start to cross an intersection, suddenly there is a ruckus, then I see plovers scattering while they left their chicks to hide in the grass.

I walked a way down the road and turned around to see if the chicks would be ok. Eventually the plovers returned and one went over to nurse the chicks in the middle of the footpath…

How are these birds not extinct?

Talk about cherry picking in order to create a clickbait headline:

That’s the question put to Newell by Saliev: should younger folk looking at this field be learning the technical side, or focusing purely on the best way to use the tools?

“I think it’s both,” says Newell. “I think the more you understand what underlies these current tools the more effective you are at taking advantage of them, but I think we’ll be in this funny situation where people who don’t know how to program who use AI to scaffold their programming abilities will become more effective developers of value than people who’ve been programming, y’know, for a decade.”

Newell goes on to emphasise that this isn’t either/or, and any user should be able to get something helpful from AI. It’s just that, if you really want to get the best out of this technology, you’ll need some understanding of what underlies them.

From the AerynOS About page:

AerynOS is a modern Linux distribution using atomic updates, cutting-edge tooling and rock-solid reliability. Built by industry veterans with decades of experience, it represents the next evolution in Linux distributions - delivering a safe and efficient system.

Our fully atomic system leverages the LLVM toolchain and libc++ by default, delivering superior diagnostics and package diversity. We’re not afraid to challenge convention - thoughtfully replacing traditional components with modern alternatives that prioritize safety and reliability.

We closely follow the work of organizations dedicated to making software safer, including the Prossimo project and their Memory Safety initiative, the Tweede Golf team, and the Trifecta Tech Foundation. By monitoring and adopting innovations from these pioneers, we can integrate proven solutions like memory-safe replacements for critical system components.

As we continuously evaluate and adopt the best solutions, our architectural decisions enable powerful features like atomic updates that can safely transform your entire system, complete with built-in deduplication and instant rollbacks.

This is the future of Linux distribution design, built on a foundation of experience and innovation.

From Canadian Virtual Hospice:

The acronym “2SLGBTQ” stands for Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (or questioning). The plus sign represents other sexual identities, such as pansexual or asexual. It’s important to remember that everyone – not just 2SLGBTQ+ people – has a gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation.

From Two-Spirit - Wikipedia:

Two-spirit (also known as two spirit or occasionally twospirited, or abbreviated as 2S or 2E[a], especially in Canada) is a contemporary pan-Indian umbrella term used by some Indigenous North Americans to describe Native people who fulfill a traditional third-gender (or other gender-variant) social role in their communities.

A forum blog, or flog for short.

It’s perfect!

Thanks! Yeah I think I might check it out again. Wasn’t in the mood when it was on.

What’s the name of this show again?

Congratulations. What a marvelous achievement.
