Last night, I landed on Minmus, and tonight did a Mun approach. Didn't have enough delta V to attempt a landing, so I pulled an Apollo 8 and just waved at the craters.
Not pictured: the ridiculous amount of tweaks I had to do to the manoeuvre node to get an encounter with the Mun, and then back to an encounter with Kerbin within the constraints of my delta V budget.
Still, KSP is a major improvement over the MS Space Simulator; that one had a whole chapter in the manual for calculating orbital transfers with pen and paper (or Excel).
You have more restraint than me; I’d get so frustrated that I’d crash land on the moon, then have to mount a rescue mission for my poor trapped Kerbal.
@benjaminhollon I'm running in Science mode and unlocking the tech tree as I go along, so I'm happy to build enough science points from experiments in orbit. The little excursion got me about 150 points, same as landing on Minmus.
Ooh, nice! Be sure to get the EVA science kit—it gives you a significant number of points.
Another thing to note is that some experiments are separated by biome, meaning you can get their points multiple times by landing in different locations.
I love it. But yeah, I remember seeing the strip when it came out, and looking up who maintains curl, because that's the one project I could think of. 😅
@skaverat I went back, collected all the names of everyone who had helped out up to that point and added them to the THANKS list. Since then I've made sure to always add everyone.
@guiltmanager ah haha, what a fail. Okay, the image says "curl runs in all your devices". and shows some examples: servers, games, printers, cars, TVs, robots, medical devices, phones, tablets, operating systems, apps, and the Mars helicopter program. And more.

I am going to do an experiment right now. I'm going to do a live stream right now of me telling a random story, and I will try to use my harp as well.
Also, anyone in chat could suggest things for the story, I think that could be fun. (That doesn't mean I will use all suggestions, of course, but well...)
I am StoryDragon on Mastodon and here. Though on programming fora and some others I am Privacy_Dragon.Maybe I will stream some programming sometimes. Likely much of it will be for the calculator (TI-84+ CE), if I stream at all.
@talon I might decide to give it another try some time. Whenever I feel up to it. For now, I tried to come up with a story three times, of which I recorded the third story.
I had a drive exactly like this, but mine was a 4TB Extreme not a pro. Replaced it with a different one with a better firmware and for the last 6 or so weeks, perfectly fine. The last one died within 5 days. Replaced the data, 5 days later, dead. Sent it back. I don't know if that's an older, or newer drive but either way it's not my friend. This one at least is behaving itself.
Western Digital is de facto admitting that its SanDisk Extreme Pro SSDs have been vulnerable to a massive glitch that can wipe all your data — by issuing a firmware update for only one of the reportedly affected models.
I have a western digital 8TB external drive, and that is only because I got it from back blaze. I normally don't buy western digital stuff, and maybe with everything going on with them lately, I will continue to stay away from there drives.

Is it groovy that #Microsoft has such an engaged #accessibility team? Yup. Is it a downer that they continue to post on a platform that fired its entire accessibility team and killed off the third-party accessibility tools, while ignoring this one? Hell yup. So if you missed it, here’s their #GAAD blog post. blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-iss…
Today, we celebrate the 12th annual Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD): A day to drive awareness, highlight the advancements in accessible technology, and the incredible work happening within the community to bridge the disability divide.
Tl'dr #rustlang is a great collaboration opportunity for @gnome and @kde.
A long long time ago, #freedesktop initiative was created for precisely this goal. While in many ways it was a success story (especially in terms of establishing standards), it came short in one specific aspect: code collaboration.
Most freedesktop (all?) projects were and are almost exclusively developed and maintained by GNOME folks. That's not very surprising, given that C (being that lowest common denominator) had to be the programming language of choice. Just like most GNOME folks wouldn't want to touch C++, KDE folks don't particularly enjoy coding in C either. I know both have their reasons and the point here is not to play the blame game here.
There is not much point in dwelling in the past here but if we decide to write all future infrastructure/non-UI projects (that would have otherwise been written in C or C++) in Rust, there's a great potential for collaboration, I believe.
Talk is cheap, you could say and I agree. Hence why I've taken some steps in this direction already: github.com/dbus2/

To be clear, I don’t randomly follow links from toots any more than I do email. At least tease sone of the actual suggestions in the post. Or I skip them, personally.
In other articles we looked at how to build a cross browser video player using the HTMLMediaElement and Window.fullScreen APIs, and also at how to style the player.
ATTENTION K-MART SHOPPERS! 🛒 Back in the 80s & 90s, a former Kmart employee saved a private collection of original in-store background music cassettes from being lost to history. Take a nostalgic stroll through the aisles at archive.org/details/attentionk…
OK, I have to admit this this is a strange collection. In the late 1980's and early 1990's, I worked for Kmart behind the service desk and the store played specific pre-recorded cassettes issued by corporate.
Purism is excited to announce that anyone who owns a qualified smartphone can port their voice and data services, including their existing phone number, to Purism by purchasing the Librem AweSIM, a VPN for cellular like service.
Unlike AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, MetroPCS and Cricket, Purism’s Librem AweSIM does not support unified customer identifiers based on customer account information (name, address, billing information) or unique identifiers on your mobile devices.
Purism makes premium phones, laptops, mini PCs and servers running free software on PureOS. Purism products respect people's privacy and freedom while protecting their security.
can you explain UCIs, how they work, and thus why this is a problem? These plans are increadably expensive compared to most and thus require a strong jusrification to even consider.

@Yoshi Hi there! We don't have any events planned in the USA right now, but we'd love to have more. We need more community members there though! If you're interested in organising an event (or spreading the word about LibreOffice at an existing event), just let us know – and thanks in advance 😊
Good morning trunkies! The sky is blue (not yellow!), the birds are singing, and I don't feel like hell. I have coffee and drugs in me, just trying to decide how to spend my limited spoons today.
Here's (hopefully) 20 seconds of the birds just givin'er outside my window this morning. (first attempt at posting an audio track)

"Válka na Ukrajině po sobě zanechává nejen zpustošená města a zmařené lidské životy, ale také opuštěná, zraněná nebo nemocná zvířata. Domácí i volně žijící.
