Sad there isn’t an alternative to it :/

I really love Bear, and I’m immensely relieved they’re not trying to bake AI garbage into it.

I don’t follow French politics too closely, but from everything I’ve seen, this guy is absolutely DESPISED by the people. Is he not worried about getting voted out or something? Why does he seem to want to stick his finger in the eyes of the French citizens?

Not as much as I probably should be! I have a nice little Proxmox cluster, backed by a UPS and a beefy NAS, but mostly I use it for fussing around with stuff, playing with instances, nothing really mission critical.

I use DDG because I’m still not decided on whether or not Kagi is worth it. If there’s no significant difference in the results returned by DDG, why pay for Kagi?

That website is an absolute fucking dumpster fire of massively annoying and obtrusive ads, particularly on mobile. Safari adblockers do little to deal with it. I’m almost to the point where I’m just going to block the domain from even resolving at all on my home network. Really, it’s cancer. Is there a better source?

Jesus that’s horrible. Can you just imagine that happening to you? You get a call that your mother killed your dad, your nephew, then herself.

As one of the founders of Rocky Linux and the RESF, I agree!

I was highly skeptical before reading the article, but the author made great points and I’m actually fully on board with that, now. I was even wondering if my state had plans to do something like this, then I read this at the end of the article:

Meanwhile, many states aren’t waiting for federal action. Hawaii, Connecticut, Colorado and Massachusetts either already offer subsidies or intend to.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. This really changed my perspective.

That’s actually a very, very good question! I would say that the biggest difference between them is style. Nightmare is a little more…progressive? than the others, I think. Have a read of all of them and just see what you like

Ass.

I know fuck all about physics but that was interesting! She was great

Get into short horror stories. GOOD stories published by professional magazines like Nightmare, The Dark, Black Static, Weird Horror, Pseudopod. Those are all places that pay professional rates and who have won tons of awards. Anthologies edited by Ellen Datlow are also good, who does the Year’s Best. Crystal Lake Publishing is good as well, both their short stories, novels, and their podcasts. Weird Little Worlds is another indie publisher that has put out good stuff. (Disclosure: I’ve had stories published by both CLP and WLW—the Mother: Tales of Love and Terror antho I was in was a finalist for the Bram Stoker award this year.)

If you want good horror, you need to go to the places that publish it professionally. Issues are pretty cheap, and there’s plenty of free stuff on their sites as well.

Thank you! I’ve seen this mentioned a couple of times and have been meaning to give it a try.

Another huge +1 ‘thank you’ to the admins of Beehaw

What is it lately with companies and shooting themselves in the foot? Have all the CEOs gotten together and mutually decided that this was the year they were going to piss off their communities?

Red Hat are burning through a lot of the good will they’ve made over the years with this.

Here’s the statement the Rocky Linux folks put out:

Good luck, brothers. I wish you well.

Reddit burning itself to the ground is the best thing to happen to the Internet in a long time. Just look at how decentralized communities are flourishing.

Everything you’ve said pretty much exactly describes the homeless situation in Seattle, in that there are so many with great needs, but only so much one city can do. Meanwhile, the people living in Seattle and paying taxes are seeing their city deteriorating around them.

That mass drownings have become so common – more than 25,000 people have died or gone missing in the Mediterranean since 2014 – is shameful in itself.

Over 25,000 have drowned since only 2014?? Holy Christ.
