Christians or other people of faith may wish to consider these thoughts from Pastor Mark Peake of First Presbyterian Church of Monterey on Election Day, November 5, 2024.

4 General Character. Of course, no one is perfect and we lean into grace but sometimes it's easy to see where one candidate is trying harder to demonstrate selfless rather than selfish behavior. This includes a realistic look at how the candidate has handled his/her own family and interacted with the public in the past.
5 If a candidate is proposing restrictions to health care and education then that candidate is working in direct opposition to the Gospel.
6 A whole life approach to things in general. As opposed to merely “pro-life” this means an attitude that works towards solutions that make the choice for life more likely. So, things like universal child care, access to affordable health care, etc. are to be worked toward.
7 Specific to this election is a consideration of immigration. Here is what the Bible says about that: Leviticus 19:33-34: "When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.” (Note that this is a direct command from God.) And in the Greek scriptures, Hebrews 13:2: "Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.” What candidates and policies honor that sentiment?](https://fedi.ml/photo/preview/640/605835 "FPC Monterey View - November 5, 2024

That red skirt I just mended with the little embroidered daisy? Welp, got it stuck on something and ripped the waist opening of it, didn't I. 😆 I don't have thread or a patching fabric that exactly matches so I went the scrap piece of fabric of a good weight and highly visible mending route. I'm thinking it's going to be either a colourful fern or a peacock feather, but bed calls me.
A short reminder that, starting tomorrow (2024-11-06), there will be a row of maintenance windows at our main service provider. Hopefully you won't notice any of them – and regarding our F-Droid repo, our mirrors will have you covered. Just the web server might (shortly) be unavailable.

I'm on a social media fast, which is why you haven't heard much from me, but I did want to share one cool thing. Our stuff has been 8-bit RGB for a while, but it's increasingly clear that's not going to cut it in an HDR world. Inspired by bevy_color and some conversations, I've started a color crate: github.com/linebender/color
If you're into color, I'd love your feedback. If you use color in Rust, let me know whether this crate would be useful, or what might be changed.

Zmizeli beze stopy. Tragédii hokejových reprezentantů stále halí záhada
Přesně před sto lety, 5. listopadu 1924, se narodil český hokejový útočník Karel Stibor. Mistr světa z roku 1947 a stříbrný medailista z olympiády o rok později byl jednou z obětí leteckého neštěstí, při kterém zemřelo i pět jeho parťáků. Připomeňte si jednu z největších tragédií v historii českého sportu.

in reply to mcc • • •the android toolchain is something alright.
I love (/s) constantly having to ask google to fix nondeterministic output produced by their toolchain (or building workarounds in cases that's possible) to make reproducible builds for android work.
half the time it's bugs deep in some compiler code I have no idea how to even find, the other half is me having to explain to them what their own code is doing so they can apply my proposed fix.
