Firstly, I'd just like to say thank you to all the people who have liked, boosted and commented on my images, and to all the new followers I have. It's rather humbling. 😊
Today's shot comes from a magical day in the Scottish #Highlands, a few years ago, when I was photographing red squirrels.
These charming characters are incredibly agile and can jump great distances between trees.
Here I managed to capture one as it appears to be flying down my lens.

One new visual from the #Artemis I press conference - recording at twitter.com/NASA/status/159373… - was the full separation sequence of the Orion/EMS stack from the SLS upper stage: here is a still.

Another #Earth view from the #Orion capsule heading away and to the Moon: found in the new #Artemis album flickr.com/photos/nasa2explore… with so far mostly video clips from the many on-board cameras.
Another #Moon image courtesy of the #Artemis I mission ... but not from the Orion but the Italian CubeSat #ArgoMoon launched with it! See asi.it/2022/11/artemis-1-argom… for more and also an Earth image.

On Saturday the #Artemis I Mission Management Team polled “go” for #Orion’s outbound powered flyby past the #Moon. NASA will cover the flyby live on NASA TV, the agency’s website, and the NASA app starting at 12:15 UTC Monday, Nov. 21. The burn is planned for 12:44. Orion will lose communication with Earth as it passes behind the Moon from 12:25 through 12:59., making its closest approach of approximately 139 km from the surface at 12:57 UTC: blogs.nasa.gov/artemis/2022/11…
The #Orion spacecraft has entered into the lunar sphere of influence at 19:09 UTC Sunday, making the Moon, instead of Earth, the main gravitational force acting on the spacecraft. Overnight, Orion will conduct the fourth outbound trajectory correction burn in advance of the outbound powered flyby burn to accelerate the spacecraft, harness the force from the Moon’s gravity, and direct it toward a distant retrograde orbit beyond the Moon: blogs.nasa.gov/artemis/2022/11…
Attention! For some reason the live broadcast of the closest approach of #Orion to the Moon youtube.com/watch?v=BvWtNx3VOU… will begin two hours *earlier* today - namely at 10:15 UTC - than had been planned for many days! The change was announced only a few hours ago.
Watch live as NASA's Orion spacecraft performs a close approach of the lunar surface on its way to a distant retrograde orbit, a highly stable orbit thousand...
The view from the #Orion of the far side of the Moon and Earth just before LOS - the crucial burn should have happened by now, and AOS is expected in a few minutes.
The far side of the #Moon, imaged today by the #Orion spacecraft (left) and two days ago by Italy's #ArgoMoon, one of the ten CubeSats launched together with her on November 16th: esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/… and asi.it/2022/11/nuovo-scatto-lu…, respectively. Both views are dominated by the Mare Orientale which sits right at/behind the lunar limb as seen from Earth.
I'm reading about this Speech Accessibility Project supported by big tech companies and wondering whether there's any involvement with Mozilla Common Voice, whether this is unfortunate duplication of effort or whether the goals are somehow too different for collaboration. I don't know very much about either project, so this is just idle speculation. speechaccessibilityproject.bec…

Sharing an interesting #foss #dev job opening from @kde
"KDE e.V., the non-profit organisation supporting the KDE community, is looking to hire a software engineer to help improve the software stack that KDE software relies on."
It's a #remote contract position, and a great paid opportunity for people who have already contributed to KDE software. But even if you haven't, you can still apply! All details are in the linked job description. Good luck 💪
In fantastic news for authors and the publishing industry, Penguin Random House is NOT going to appeal the court's decision to block its acquisition of Simon & Schuster. This merger would have seen two of the 'Big 5' publishing corporations combined, giving the new company a dangerous amount of influence on publishing worldwide, having a detrimental effect on authors' payments and readers' choices. SO GLAD IT'S SCRAPPED FOR GOOD.
I almost wish I had found Mastodon before I did, because I feel what I'm about to share would've done well there, but heck, I'm gonna try this anyway. Folks, this is a petition we've had going for a couple weeks now asking Blizzard to bring native blind accessibility support into Hearthstone since our accessibility mod is being sunsetted. Now here's the thing, we've technically gotten their attention. We've technically won. They've announced they will be attempting to do so. However I believe continuing to boost this petition is still important, because it signifies how important others think accessibility is. Hearthstone Access, the accessibility mod that allowed us to play Hearthstone, helped us to fall in love with a game, adn we don't want to lose it forever. So, just to boost the signal... Could you please sign? chng.it/NwgBxyMyhp #Hearthstone #Accessibility #HearthstoneAccess #Petition
This is the first in a series of releases that implement support for new Mastodon features. More will come in the near future, but this version offers:
* Full support for all new types of notifications in Mastodon 4.0, including admin notifications. * Updated to use more modern versions of various iOS functionality. As a result, however, the minimum supported iOS version is now 13. * Bugfixes.
Toot! is a client for the Mastodon social network. It is beautiful, and full of character and whimsy.
What makes Toot! special?
- It is delightful. It is full of beautiful design, animation, amusing details and hidden treasures.
I know there is a lot more people want, like editing, but those are bigger features and I thought it better to push something out the door, so I will keep releasing 17.x versions for a while to push out more new features.
They will mainly focus on adding Mastodon v3.5 and v4.0 features that Toot! is missing, plus any little bits of polish that would make me happy.
Die geplante Chatkontrolle ist eine Mogelpackung. Verkauft wird sie als Bekämpfung von Kindesmissbrauch – drin steckt eine systematische Nacktbildersammlung. Das birgt böse Überraschungen. Ein Essay.
#BlackMastodon Batman is the worst superhero in the world, and I'm tired of pretending he isn't. Here are my top 10 reasons:
10) The Wayne's are the richest family in the most corrupt city in the world, so what does that tell you? His family wealth comes from old money, so I'm pretty sure his ancestors exploited natural resources, busted unions and did some other shady "Daniel-Plainview-There-Will-Be-Blood" shit.
From what I've heard about discussions with Elon, if you say something is sucks or is done poorly and could be a lot better, he'll drill into your claim, and if all you have is obvious nonsense, you get fired immediately.
So I think it's a bit ironic that people who are saying Twitter is easy to implement because you just need to do X, e.g., cache things, would've been fired by Elon for spouting obvious nonsense if they worked for Twitter.
Don't want to link your fresh install of Windows 11 with a Microsoft account? (VM for test, reinstalled laptop or whatever)
Easy peasy! You have two options:
# First option: Provide locked Microsoft account (minimum hassle, requires internet)
When asked to provide a Microsoft account, use no@thankyou.com and a random password. This account is locked, and Windows will error out, and tell you that.
You can then proceed to use any local only account.
# Second option: No internet trick (can also be used if you actually *don't* have internet)
Make sure there's no ethernet cable in the machine. Install like you'd normally do, right up to the point where it whines about internet connectivity requirement.
Press Shift-F10, and you get a command prompt. Enter this command:
OOBE\BYPASSNRO
Your installation will now restart, but at the network requirement part, theres a "I don't have internet" option. Click on that, and you can create a local only user.
Both tricks works for the latest Windows 11 22H2 too!
Hey there, everyone! We have been asked about our mastodon support. It seems some people are willing to test the code, so we have prepared a 64-bit portable version with our latest changes. If you want to test it, please check this page! mcvsoftware.com/2022/11/21/tes…

@sky @vulpineclub @tastymochafox mxsparks@vulpine.club @violet @talon @tyr @mawr @david Howdy folks - I've set up a beefy relay using @asonix 's code - Working together, we've got an instance up in Austin, TX in a HA cluster with 5GBits on a static IP that I'd like to offer up as a big relay. You guys are the top talkers on our furry-related instance, tiggi.es, and I'd love to have you on our relay. As a courtesy, I've added all of your instances already. If you care to join up and get this network goin' better, please add relay.tiggi.es/inbox to your relay config. Thanks, folks! 👍
Die Aufmachung der offiziellen #Mastodon App gepart mit wichtigen #Features wie Unlisted Posts und der Federated Timeline? Gibt's nicht? Gibt's doch! Gerade im #FDroid gefunden. Liegt bei @IzzyOnDroid im Repository
@6a02 lies den Toot von @SkyfaR noch einmal: "bei IzzyOnDroid im Repository". Das müsstest Du natürlich zuerst einmal aktivieren 😉 auf apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid den QR-Code scannen, oder apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/repo von Hand in den F-Droid Client eintragen.
This is a repository of apps to be used with F-Droid. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github).

We really need to make it easier for people to control social media icons and style them to meet their site. This really should be easy, accessible and susainable.
I was interviewed about supply chain security (around 15 min mark) in a longer CNBC feature about manufacturing phones in the USA. In short, it's less about trust concerns with any particular country/govt., and more about reducing the links in the supply chain to reduce the opportunities to tamper with hardware.
Our Made-in-USA-electronics Librem 5 USA phone also got a number of shout-outs. Pretty neat!
