A year of sunrises - 13 pictures of the sun, each month, same place, same time.

"One of the best places in Edmonton to see the sunrise point change along a familiar horizon is Valleyview Drive, which is where I photographed sunrise once a month for a year. This image is the final result of stacking 13 sunrise images from Dec 2020 to Dec 2021, to visually depict the change in the sunrise point over a year." - Photographer, Luca Vanzella.

@tychotithonus it's not clean, you have to replace all the packages after you change the repos. And then force install the FreeBSD-* packages over the GhostBSD-* packages. It's annoying and it will eat your /etc/passwd and group files. You could break your system I bet, and it would be annoying to have to boot up a rescue disk to repair it, but it went fine for me. I was prepared for surgery if necessary 🥸

Because I've been impersonated by a certain troll who I'm sure would like their name mentioned, I want to make it clear that this is my official account. If you receive any messages or follow requests from accounts other than this one on mstdn.social, then it's a fake, and was set up without my permission. Feel free to contact me if you're not certain; there's no harm in checking. Parody accounts of this nature will be blocked and reported.

“(Hoch)Stapelei” / (High) stacking

Stacks of boomboxes, radios, cameras, and other vintage tech at an electronics shop on Canal Street. I’m not a tech-head, but I still felt a huge rush of nostalgia walking in to get my stereo fixed. A younger customer wondered what the rectangular slot under a TV screen was for, and asked “What’s VHS?” The proprietor and I looked at each other and laughed, and felt old together.

@TheEvilSkeleton Hey 👋. So there's this problem with the #refine app.

I doesn't identify the cursor theme that I installed. On my previous OS (which was also Fedora), it was able to do it. I believe since I had it on my root directory, that could be a reason.

Could you please look into it ?

@frameworkcomputer sponsors a transphobic developer: Vaxry, developer of the Hyprland compositor.

xcancel.com/FrameworkPuter/sta…

Vaxry has been known to harass trans ppl. If Framework is putting money towards that, maybe I won't put money toward Framework anymore. Maybe you shouldn't either, until they stop this.

Transphobia is not appealing, especially for the kind of people who would normally be interested in Framework's devices.

Ask: what did Apple *want* in return for bending the knee?

Answer: the end of the rule of law in Europe, and with it, an example for others.

Global renewable energy generation surpasses coal for first time
theguardian.com/environment/20…

This is definitely something to celebrate! 🎉

That said, please remember, the goal here is not to have ever larger part of our energy generated from renewables.

👉 The goal is to have coal, gas, and other fossil fuel based energy generation to go down in *absolute terms*.

⚠️ And sadly, in a lot of places including EU and US – as the article mentions – fossil fuel based power generation is *still growing*.

in reply to Michał "rysiek" Woźniak · 🇺🇦

So if we are adding so much renewable power generation capacity, why are we not shutting down coal and gas powered plants? Why, in fact, are we *adding* more?

A large part of the answer here is – *siiiigh* – AI.

Most coal-fired power plants will delay retirement to feed AI boom, energy secretary says

AI could keep us dependent on natural gas for decades to come

Consider this next time you use ChatGPT for something. :blobeyes:

in reply to Michał "rysiek" Woźniak · 🇺🇦

And if you hear anyone claiming – like heavily AI invested¹ Bill Gates has claimed² – that "AI" will help solving the climate crisis, remember this:

We really don't need a supercomputer to tell us what needs to be done. This is not rocket surgery. We need to lower fossil fuel emissions. That's it. And we already know this.

AI "helping" with climate crisis is purely hypothetical at this point. But the harms related to this bubble are already here. In form of coal plants not being retired.

Hey, @frameworkcomputer! It's really disappointing to hear you decided to sponsor Hyprland! It's all well and good sponsoring popular Linux software, but do your due dilegence: Hyprland is run by a transphobic asshole who has been ejected from Freedesktop.org over repeated code of conduct violations, and has continued to be wildly toxic in the time since.
I don't know if you can back out of that sponsorship now, but whatever you can do, you have to do better.

Newcomers: I’m not going to yell at you about alt text.

But I will tell you, just as a factual matter, if you don’t add alt text to your images they may get fewer faves and boosts. There are people here who rely on it to know what you’ve posted, and many more who won’t engage with media that doesn’t have alt text.

I've been trying to get the cybercrime journalist @vxdb to abandon their seat at the Nazi Bar, or at least to also post here. So please join me in giving them a follow and a friendly hello.

@vxdb

I'm a death lawyer. It's nice. But what surprises me is how rarely people do cool stuff with their money (or their bodies) when they die. "UhHhH tAkE cArE oF mY wIfE wHeN I DiE," "i LoVe My ChIlDrEn EqUaLlY." Grow up.

Where are the bequests of fortunes to shirtsleeve relatives in exchange for spending a night in a haunted house? What about having your remains loaded into a cannon and fired into rush hour traffic? Where are the scholarships for bagpipers and other undesirables?

“The ‘Freedom Convoy’ was a foreign-funded occupation and political destabilization movement, not a grassroots movement about COVID mandates." And of course #PeePee was its hand servant. cultmtl.com/2025/10/observatio…

De opleidingscommissie van de Vakgroep Wijsbegeerte en Moraalwetenschap aan Universiteit Gent besliste om het gebruik van generatieve #AI voor bachelor- en masterproeven dit academiejaar te verbieden. Maar die beslissing wordt van hogerhand teruggefloten. #UGent omarmt generatieve AI en dat geldt voor alle opleidingen.

Nee, het speelt er hard weet ik. Zowel de vragen rond wat AI betekent (voor de filosofie als discipline, voor ons kennismodel, voor onderwijs, voor onderzoek...) als hoe er mee om te gaan. Papers zijn potentieel waardeloos als ze geschreven zijn met/door AI, en ook diegenen die het niet gebruiken zijn hier de dupe van.
En laat het (na de computerwetenschappen) nu net de filosofie en andere (vervelende!) menswetenschappen van die faculteit zijn die er misschien het meest interessante over te zeggen hebben!

I am a bit sad today, because I won't be able to finish the next animal illustration, inspired by the Ubuntu release, in time for the official release date tomorrow.
It will probably take another two weeks.

Nevertheless, Focal Fossa will ensure the focus remains high ☀️ 💕 :blobcat: ☀️ 💕
Boop the nose for good luck! 🍀

Lol, #framework decided to sponsor Hyprland as well?

Did they swallow the entire #DHH pill?

Beyond disappointing.

I have to do a coding thing for work that deals with XML. I forgot how much I hate XML. I know that, in theory, it has some advantages over JSON, but I don't care. It's so annoying to work with that I'd rather work around JSON's limitations than continue to fight with XML. This is an API situation. There's nothing in the XML we were sent that couldn't be done in JSON. Nothing. I hate it. Okay, rant over--for now.

"After two years of genocide in Palestine, a massive demonstration converged in Mexico City to demand that the government sever ties with Israel. The march was blocked by police, who assaulted and arbitrarily detained protesters and members of the press. Later, at a rally in front of the US Embassy, speakers condemned the Mexican government's complicity and demanded an immediate end to all military cooperation with Israel."
