#MarkethingMonday 7/7: "Tell us three good things about your MC."

Alia is athletic - kinda important attribute for one of the climactic scenes at the beginning of Part 3 of "A New Faith"

Instinctive in a good way. Listens to her gut feelings and hunches. Always checks them out.

Open-minded enough to think outside-the-box. Again, in a good way. Doesn't necessarily go down rabbit-holes for the heck of it.

Basta saperlo. Se il trucco per finanziare un’iniziativa con la mega quota del 5% del Pil prevista per il riarmo è quello di dire che può servire anche per la difesa (dual use), allora è fatta. Propongo di inserire il potenziamento del Sistema Sanitario Nazionale tra i progetti sia di uso civile che militare – […]

Liberals are gutting workers’ rights with legal trickery while pretending to respect them. The tactics include bypassing unions, killing strikes through imposed arbitration, and, ‘Independent’ inquiries justifying wage cuts.

The goal is to crush union power under Carney’s ‘prosperity’ agenda.

Liberals frame labour fights as individual greed obscuring the class struggle. This is a slow-motion union bust on national scale.

I've been really lucky lately re-entering the Linux world. Sites and people are offering me GUIs whether I want them or not. I think that's kind of nice and would like to see more of it.



I'd like to see what @altbot will think of this photo. This is me circa 2000 performing a Rock Bottom, The Rock's signature wrestling move, on one of my friends.

Back when we didn't take "Don't try this at home" too seriously.

The image is a black and white photograph featuring three individuals in a dynamic pose. The central figure is leaning back with their head tilted to the side, wearing a white sleeveless shirt and light blue jeans. They are making a hand gesture near their face. The person behind them is wearing a dark shirt with a graphic design and dark pants, with their hand raised. The third person is partially visible, wearing a dark shirt and pants, standing behind the central figure. The background is plain and dark, with no distinct features. The lighting is low, creating shadows and emphasizing the figures' movements.

Well the sub title "Just because commercial unix was to expensive for him." Is not quite true. At that time the Intel 386 chip was the latest one. #ms #dos 3.2 (plus minus) was the operating system. No multi tasking/no multi user 650kB RAM. Above 650kB the driver space. (himem.sys to bypass that and so on...) The chip can do all that but the OS was so bad. Based in #minix (needed as a boot helper) he started with #linux.
And he unleashed the processor at that time.

The image features a close-up of a person's face, focusing on the right side. The individual has grayish-brown hair with some strands falling over the ear. They are wearing gold-rimmed glasses with a hexagonal frame. The person has multiple ear piercings, including a small stud and a hoop earring with a dangling chain. The background shows a window frame and a part of a building, suggesting an urban setting. The sky is visible through the window, indicating it is daytime.

The image shows the interior of a public transportation vehicle, likely a train or tram, with a focus on a person's ear and hand. The person has gray hair and is wearing glasses with a thin gold frame. They have multiple earrings, including a hoop and a dangling earring with a chain. The person's hand, with painted nails in a teal color with a white and gold design, is partially covering their mouth. The background reveals the interior of the vehicle, including overhead lights, a digital display, and other passengers. The walls are painted in a light green color, and the ceiling has a perforated design for ventilation.

La imagen muestra una escena cómica en un pasillo. A la izquierda, hay una puerta con el número "15" y un botón de llamada, junto a una alfombra de bienvenida que dice "Por favor, seco tus pies". En el suelo, frente a la puerta, hay un tubo de desagüe de plástico enrollado, que parece estar saliendo del suelo. En la pared, a la derecha de la puerta, hay un cuadro enmarcado. En la parte superior de la imagen, hay un pensamiento que dice "Oh, hermano!". La imagen sugiere una situación humorística, posiblemente relacionada con la falta de mantenimiento o limpieza.

Jane has finished the first 8 chainplate loops in 12mm dyneema for the main mast (we don't need one for the forestay and the inner forestay will be different). Plus she has finished 3.5 of the 4 lower shrouds (also 12mm dyneema). So we are back to stretching them in the garden. This meant I needed to finish the Acetal thimbles that I've been making.

Please keep testing, sharing feedback, and helping us shape the future of federated social spaces!

  • Smarter feeds: New feed options for events, books, and articles help you discover what matters to you most. You can now also filter out your own activities from your feeds when desired.
  • Multi-profiles overview: A new navigation menu can display all your profiles with notification indicators, allowing quick profile switching.
  • Private by default: New Bonfire instances start as invite-only, giving admins control over membership from day one.
  • Interface improvements: We've refined the user experience, enhanced notifications and ensured posts display properly across mobile devices.
  • More reliable: Tons of fixes for authentication, media uploads, mentions, moderation, and other core features.


Additional improvements include:


  • Better translation and localization workflow
