My brain is currently a mess (whomst among us is not floundering while the world burns), and you know what that means: COMFORT REREADS. I'm revisiting THE SHADES OF LONDON series by V.E. Schwab before I read THE FRAGILE THREADS OF POWER.
Read A DARKER SHADE OF MAGIC if you love traveling between parallel worlds, interesting magic systems, collecting trinkets, pickpockets, plagues, night markets, masquerades, the river Thames, dive bars, fancy coats, too many knives, lucky kisses, queer dynamics & secrets.
Heute im DLF in der langen Nacht: „Die Schriftstellerinnen Brigitte Reimann, Irmtraud Morgner und Maxie Wander sprechen in ihren Werken offen über Ängste und Sehnsüchte, unerfüllte Träume und Visionen.“ (Sendung von 2014.)
@ankegroener danke für den Hinweis, wäre mir sonst vielleicht entgangen. Schätze gerade Irmtraud Morgner nicht nur wegen des Vornamens sondern auch wegen der #Märchen und Trobadora Beatriz. #Maerchen@buchstodon
D-does that mean the feds know about my fedi loli cunny plapping posts? And my armpit liccing interest? And my facesitting femdom cravings? And my sister incest ponderings where I’m the big bro? And my shota age gap fantasies where I’m the lil shota? :catstand:
Anyone knows how to properly start a multiseat wayland with a desktop environment or window manager running?
I just need simple stuff such as profile initialization of the user and if it's possible to just share the same discrete GPU across multiple seats?
The end result? I want to isolate my current user space from the gaming space where I can just connect using moonlight/sunshine. I want it all headless.
Because, if not, then it means there are no Tucker Carlsons and no Jon Stewarts, and no John Olivers in that universe. Probably because nothing needs internal investigations in that society as a whole!
In Deep Space 9, Jake Sisko (the station commander’s son) is a journalist for the Federation News Service. There’s a good episode where he ends up in a war zone and the story covers cowardice and PTSD.

And a mention of custom EDID for a monitor to be registered huh . Guess I'll follow up on this as well eventually, less work setting things up and more things to learn.
I’ve tried it and it went horribly. By default it doesn’t stream your desktop, just some apps so I tried to change the config file according to their docs but made a mistake, now it’s brokie. I deleted the config file and the entire /etc/wolf directory but it’s still fricced. (I am on Mint and used podman-docker instead of real docker)
Before I broke it, I could open up a black screen which should in theory be a sign that it’s still installing stuff in the container but I was too inpatient to find out.
I suppose the bottom line is that it’s still in alpha. I might try it again with the help of their discord or something when I get time for it but idk when that will happen lol.
Which is in fact because I have just finished #AliSmith's 'Spring'. It is a beautiful novel. Part 1 is particularly brilliant. I'm not sure about its flirtation with magical realism in part 2. We need a writer who can find hope without recourse to magic.
On the other hand, it is more mythological realism than magical. We can believe in myth making and story telling. What is real is not the mundane, but the eternal or, better, the eternal in the mundane. Smith is on the side of the angels because she believes in art, in myth in story telling. Spring, with its promise of life, is contrasted with winter which is dark and unenchanted. It is also art and the mundane. Smith is with Chaucer not Elliott. So am I.
What I particularly like is the motif that none of this is about you. It serves to cut the privileged down to size, but the moral extends. The story isn't Florence's or the Machines. It is a shared world and 'world' here is truely all that is, was, will be or even could have been the case.
It still amazes me how commonly scientific papers posit [paraphrase] "Advanced maternal age increases risk of gestational development of autism" when, RIGHT THERE for the grasping is the possibility that autistic ladies who get the chance to actually think about it before getting pregnant... decide to hold off for a bit.
And THEN have autistic babes with their gene parts.
@anomalon Since I’m sure we personally know so many counterexamples, I always keep a shredder or delete button handy for such “scientific” “studies.” 🤣
My mom was 19 and our son’s egg donor and surrogate were 22 and 30. So yeah I’m sure advanced age had something to do with being #neurodifferen! Heh
Dr. Sherita Goldon was forced from her position as chief diversity officer at #JohnsHopkins University for including the following (helpful, accurate, and necessary) definition of privilege in an email newsletter:
"a set of unearned benefits given to people who are in a specific social group. Privilege operates on personal, interpersonal, cultural and institutional levels, and it provides advantages and favors to members of dominant groups at the expense of members of other groups...“ 1/2
"Privilege is characteristically invisible to people who have it. People in dominant groups often believe they have earned the privileges they enjoy or that everyone could have access to these privileges if only they worked to earn them. In fact, privileges are unearned and granted to people in the dominant groups whether they want those privileges or not, and regardless of their stated intent.” 2/2
I released my first game on Steam and got rid of impostor syndrome!
My first game Mushy Score is out on Steam! I have been creating games since I was a child but never felt like a real game dev. Now I finally have a game that I can show to other people.
Mushy Score is a 2D Roguelike where you fight against endless waves of enemies. Collect points and try to get a high score! I am super exited for the release !
@wawe
Just bought and played it and had a lot of fun! I love the frequent powerups and the variety of the monsters. The first time I saw the toad was truly terrifying! Lol. I'd love to see some kind of powerup that helps with arial enemies. Maybe the plants can shoot upwards, too? Or you can? Or a flying plant? Or a second bullet that goes up at 45 degrees? Anyway, well worth the super low asking price. Looking forward to playing more! It works perfect on the #SteamDeck, too! @games
Follow up: One of the papers I resubmitted after an R&R where I had to write a 6,300 word memo was rejected. One of the reviewers decided that the language and paper structure that he (it is probably a he) suggested that we use last time wasn't good enough, and that we should rewrite the whole thing again.
In case you're wondering what my first experience at Sociological Perspectives was like:
All R&Rs, no matter how much work needs to be done, must be returned within 60 days. The editor is sometimes willing to give you a 3 or 4 day extension, and that's it.
The reviewers (I had) are micromanagers who want to rewrite the paper for you, and in at least one case, will forget what they told you to do the last time.
