Gosh, this is good we have multiple journalist perspectives. Of course, only the people who have witnessed the events can say for certain what happened, but the mainstream media didn’t do its job, yet again… mastodon.social/@patrick_h_lau…
Hold onto your helmets—Gladiator II is heading to theaters on November 22, 2024, and it’s bringing all the intense, muscle-packed action we’ve been craving.
A bunch of people around here saw a nice fireball yesterday morning, and I just talked to a local radio show about it. From what I can tell, this fireball wasn't anything particularly weird, perhaps on the brighter side of "normal" fireball range, and I think a lot of people saw it because of the time of day (~7:30am local), visible from Utah to mid-latitude Sask!
We received 170 reports about a fireball seen over Alberta, British Columbia, ID, Idaho, Montana, MT, ND, NV, Saskatchewan, UT, WA and WY on Wednesday, November 13th 2024 around 13:33 UT.
In case you ever see a fireball (a *very* bright shooting star), the American Meteor Society has a great reporting tool and tutorial. Just like "did you feel it" reports for earthquakes, this is very scientifically valuable crowd-source info!
Work on Sliding Sync – which provides a significantly faster and more scalable sync experience in Matrix clients – has moved to focus on native support, and away from the proxy.
The Sliding Sync Proxy on the Matrix.org homeserver will be decommissioned on November 21st.
Probably a testimonial of the safety and the track maintenance. Remember it's the same railroads that want to increase the workload and reduce safety. Because the Oligarchs love the cheap and expendable labour.
What to do at 11 o’clock at night when you still got a bit of energy? Answer, write a whole bunch of ridiculous gibberish lyrics by mashing letters on the keyboard with a few invented words, chuck the whole thing into suno AI, tell the engine that you want comedy as a musical style and sit back and see what it does. This is the result.
@cachondo I knew about drive A but wasn't sure about drive B. It makes sense knowing what I know now. But when I was a kid, I was like, why are we jumping from A to C?
@singingnala @cachondo I still have boxes of 3.5-inch floppies that I'm slowly copying to my SSD and to my other backups. I bought a USB 3.5 drive from Amazon and it does indeed show up as drive A:.
@singingnala @cachondo I remember owning a pc with two 3.5" floppy drives. Good times. There's probably a way to remap the hd to A if you wanted to, though.
@Lprazdnik @singingnala @cachondo My first PC had a 5.25 inch floppy drive and my next PC had both a 3.5 and a 5.25 drive. Fortunately, I don't have any of the larger 5.25 disks, just the 3.5 inch disks.

I want to hear this info, as I have a SensePlayer, on which Bard keeps crashing when attempting to play certain magazines, but have another commitment during that time. Where are recordings kept, so I can go listen after the fact?

I'm so glad we've had so many great Eight Doctor audios, thanks to Big Finish. I haven't yet read any of the Eight Doctor adventures from BBC Books but they're definitely on my list and I have "the Eight Doctors" ready to read in my book player app. I'm one of those people who also feels that Mcgann should now be considered the ninth Doctor; it bugs me that the War Doctor never gets counted. Then again, with what we now know about the Timeless Child, Mcgann could well be the 87th Doctor, for all we know. #DoctorWho
@DavidGoldfield I agree. I've listened to some of the Big Finish 8th Doctor stories and enjoyed those. I really liked the 8th Doctor BBC Novels though, there were some fantastic stories there. I'm sure you'll enjoy as well, the 8 Doctor's is a great place to start and you've got a wealth of adventures to discover in that range as well.
@DavidGoldfield Even if you count the War Doctor, Paul McGann is still the Eighth Doctor, as he comes before John Hurt's War Doctor, who is technically the ninth incarnation of the Doctor, not counting the Timeless Children Doctors.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) have signed an agreement to expand their cooperation in nuclear energy as part of efforts to unlock investments in a low-carbon future.
The IAEA said in a statement that the agreement, signed on the sidelines of the United Nations Climate Change Conference (Cop29) in Baku, Azerbaijan, will expand existing partnership between the two organisations “beyond nuclear and radiation safety concerns”.
The move marks a shift in focus from traditional safety concerns towards capacity-building initiatives and developing energy policy, governance and financing frameworks, and mechanisms to reach net zero goals, the statement said.
“Together we are not only building on years of successful cooperation in nuclear safety, but we are opening new doors for capacity building, clean energy, and economic resilience,” said IAEA director-general Rafael Grossi.
“Partnering with financial institutions, like the EBRD, is essential to unlocking the investments needed for a low-carbon future,” he said.
Grossi highlighted the importance of partnerships with financial institutions and the private sector to scale up nuclear energy.
The IAEA said it invites government, industry, banks and other stakeholders to partner with the agency and to contribute their financial resources, expertise, industrial knowledge and advocacy.
The agency said countries can benefit from the IAEA-EBRD partnership’s activities in support nuclear and radiation safety and technical infrastructure, including the decommissioning of facilities and the management of radioactive waste.
The IAEA and EBRD have a longstanding commitment to nuclear decommissioning efforts across Eastern Europe, Russia, and Central Asia, including ongoing projects in Ukraine, Bulgaria, Lithuania, and Slovakia, and environmental remediation in Central Asia.

If you've recently installed Thunderbird for Android and want to add PGP support, a new article from @ZDNet has you covered. (And seriously, it's a great article!)
If you need to add encryption or digital signing to the Thunderbird email app (or other supporting apps) on Android, there's one clear and easy route to success.
WARNING #openkeychain is no longer actively developed. They will still apply security fixes where reported, and do basic maintenance work, but no new features or will be worked on. They will try to consider and merge contributions where possible. SOURCE: github.com/open-keychain/open-…
@esplovago The status of the project also came to my mind, when reading that recommendation. @thunderbird Are there plans to contribute to the project to improve GPG support for Thunderbird on Android?
Right now, the android app requires OpenKeyChain to manage and use PGP keys to open/send encrypted mails. This makes Thunderbird dependent on another third-party app that might stop development anytime.
I switched from K9 to Thunderbird last week, and have no issues to report, although Thunderbird did not, as I anticipated, spot my K9 installation and offer to carry the accounts across.
My only issue is that nothing I do will get Thunderbird to appear in my AOI Launcher shortcuts. I'm sure I'll figure that out in time.
@leighelse Thanks so much for trying us! We're sorry you had a few issues, and as far as the AOI launcher question, we'd suggest asking on support.mozilla.org/products/t… - but if you did figure it out, we'd love to know how!
I had to read this 3x to realize it wasn’t satire. #WompWomp
