Today, I’m sharing an Eastern Pheobe wallpaper. This little one is the second I’ve done of this species, but it’s against a rich maroon background this time!
Enjoy! 🐡 🪶 🎨

Das Bild zeigt eine leuchtend farbige Chameleonschlange, die auf einem Blumenstrauß sitzt. Die Chameleonschlange ist mit einem farbenfrohen Muster bedeckt, das eine Vielzahl von Neonfarben wie Pink, Grün, Blau und Gelb umfasst. Ihre Haut hat eine glänzende, skulpturale Textur, die die Farben hervorhebt. Die Chameleonschlange hat große, runde Augen, die aufmerksam in die Ferne blicken. Um sie herum sind mehrere Blumen zu sehen, die in dunklen Blautönen gehalten sind, was die leuchtenden Farben der Chameleonschlange noch hervorhebt. Der Hintergrund ist dunkel, was die Farben der Chameleonschlange noch stärker betont.

Press release time!
We found a trans-Neptunian Object (TNO) on a very cool orbit: 2020 VN40 orbits the sun exactly once in the same amount of time that Neptune orbits the sun exactly 10 times. It's really far from Neptune (and the rest of the planets), yet very strongly tied to Neptune due to this Mean-Motion Resonance (MMR) in its orbit.

Elon Musk Calls the U.S. Dollar 'Hopeless,' Says His America Party Will Embrace Bitcoin
The billionaire, in another escalating feud with Trump, suggests that crypto could be part of his plan to disrupt American politics.
The image shows a web interface for managing projects, likely from a software development platform. The interface is dark-themed with a navigation menu on the left side, labeled "Your work," and options such as "Projects," "Groups," "Issues," "Merge requests," "To-Do List," "Stickers," "Snippets," and "Activity." The main section of the page is titled "Projects" and includes a search bar with a filter dropdown set to "Contributed." Below the search bar, there are three project entries, each with a name, a visibility icon, and a creation timestamp. The projects are associated with the user "Vincent Wilcox" and are named "MastoCloud," "PrestoNowplaying," and "PrestoNowPlayingServer." The timestamps indicate that the projects were created recently, with the most recent one being created 40 minutes ago. A "New project" button is visible in the top right corner, and there is a "Explore projects" link next to it.

Das Bild zeigt eine weite, offene Landschaft mit einer Feldfläche, die von hohen, trockenen Gräsern und vereinzelten Büschen bedeckt ist. Im Hintergrund erstreckt sich ein flaches, offenes Gelände bis zum Horizont, unter einem bedrohlichen, dunklen Himmel, der von dichten, grauen Wolken bedeckt ist. Links im Bild steht ein Gebäude mit einem Fahnenmast, an dem eine Flagge weht, und rechts sind weitere Gebäude sichtbar, einschließlich eines mit einem Dach, das von Bäumen umgeben ist. Eine Straße führt durch das Bild, und in der Ferne sind einige Fahrzeuge zu sehen. Die Atmosphäre des Bildes ist ruhig und melancholisch, mit einem Gefühl von Einsamkeit und Natur.

@Seirdy Mandating Javascript on a site is an undue trust requirement.
Even with a Free license there is no guarantee it is benign and no particular reason to risk it.

That way it makes sense.

i agree that forcing JS is a really awful solution but unless there’s a Web standard for remote-JS-free anti-LLM measures with comparable efficacy, I don’t see any good alternatives.
we don't need standards for this, we need common sense.

I’m 63. I never thought that I would see anything like this, and I am sickened by the possibility that I might live the rest of my life in a country that’s going to be trying to dig out from under the damage that’s been caused so far. Damage to its reputation, to its institutions, its economy, its foreign relations - you pick.
The guy is pretty decent, but has lived a sheltered life. The bit highlighted is what happens every few years in countries like #Argentina. Neo-colonialist locusts swarm in, eat everything while we hunker down, and we get to do damage control and unfuck ourselves and rebuild. Never build to last. Nothing ever lasts but the ruins.

The image is a meme divided into two sections. On the left, there is a woman with blonde hair, wearing a black, shiny outfit and a unique hat with a pointed, horn-like structure. She is looking to the side with a serious expression. On the right, there is a dog with long ears, wearing a blue Crocs shoe on its head, sitting on a couch. The dog appears to be looking directly at the camera with a somewhat bewildered expression. The text at the top of the image reads, "It's called fashion Sharon, look it up," and the watermark "boredpanda.com" is visible at the bottom right corner.

Old Operating Systems to be tested soon
We no longer have a real old computer due to a catastrophic failure. However, applications like 86Box exist as emulators for very old PCs that existed in the past. Along with those retro computers sport very old operating systems that were compatible at the time.
Using this application, we can continue our journey of testing very old operating systems, from Windows 3.1 and 95 to Red Hat Commercial Linux 4.0 “Colgate” and the renowned Yggdrasil Linux/GNU/X. Exploring the world of ancient times using modern technology to make retrocomputing more fun, we’ll create a new category solely for retrocomputing.
Mac Classic operating systems are also included in the list, though it’s not currently in our priority list right now. Different versions will be documented from installation to applications, but it will be a little long read to ensure that you get the most crucial information.
Not only the Classic Macs with their power, the old Windows versions with their awesomeness, and the Linux distros with their memorable FVWM desktop environment, but we’ll also add obscure stuff (that we can test) to ramp up the excitement!
We will start with our first retrocomputing article with a Linux distro. Guess the distro while we’re working on it by the 17th!

Das Bild zeigt zwei Kürbis auf einem Holztisch im Freien. Der größere Kürbis im Vordergrund ist grün und hat frische grüne Blätter und Stängel, die aus dem Hauptkörper herauswachsen. Er liegt auf der rechten Seite des Tisches und hat eine runde, leicht unregelmäßige Form. Der kleinere Kürbis im Hintergrund ist ebenfalls grün, mit ähnlichen Blättern und Stängeln, und liegt auf der linken Seite des Tisches. Beide Kürbisse haben eine glatte, weiche Textur und sind frisch, was an den lebendigen Blättern erkennbar ist. Im Hintergrund ist ein Garten mit grünen Pflanzen und ein Teil eines Gartenscheibens zu sehen, was auf eine gemütliche, grüne Umgebung hinweist. Der Himmel ist bewölkt, was auf einen bedeckten Tag hinweist.

The image features a bright pink background with white text and a white toilet. The text is presented in a humorous format, suggesting an alternative to installing a toilet in the living room. It reads: "IF you want to watch the television whilst sitting on the lav, I suggest you put a television in the bathroom rather than install a toilet in the living room which, frankly, hasn’t gone down very well with my wife." The name "Hector Crumb, Goole" is attributed to the humorous statement. The toilet is depicted in the lower right corner, with its lid closed, and is a standard design. The overall layout is simple, with the text occupying the left side and the toilet on the right.
