Das Bild zeigt eine Hand, die einen Schneckenkäfer hält. Der Schneckenkäfer hat ein braunes und weißes Gehäuse und einen weißen, feucht aussehenden Körper. Seine Augen und seine langen, feinen Tentakel sind deutlich sichtbar. Die Hand hält den Schneckenkäfer sanft, und der Hintergrund ist unscharf, wodurch der Schneckenkäfer im Vordergrund besonders hervorgehoben wird. Der Boden im Hintergrund ist mit Erde und ein paar Blättern bedeckt, was darauf hindeutet, dass das Bild in einem natürlichen Umfeld aufgenommen wurde.

How do you lure your kids off iPhones?
Give them MacBooks…running a "cool" version of Linux. Snagged 2 old Airs for just €50 each.
Wiped macOS, & installed @elementary - a clean, distro that feels familiar to macOS users but comes with a lot less bloat.
Now they’ve got "cool" Apple gear, with the the rich world of #Linux that respects their freedom and sparks curiosity.

I wish I could go to FOSDEM, but it's not going to happen this time around. Wife is going to be doing her very last set of cinicals, but she needs like 12 hour days to accomplish it. So I'll be in charge of the whole family for a few months and it's beginning of next year. We're definitely looking at Fedicon next year and then hopefully FOSDEM year after.
Definitely doing @fediforum . Whenever th next one is.

The image depicts a serene landscape featuring a winding dirt path leading towards a vast body of water, likely a lake or fjord, with mountains in the background. The foreground shows a grassy area with patches of green vegetation and a small stream flowing alongside the path. The midground includes the calm, blue water reflecting the sky, with a small settlement visible on the far shore. The background features rugged mountains with some snow-capped peaks, under a partly cloudy sky. The overall scene is tranquil and picturesque, with a clear blue sky and scattered clouds.

Die Figur steht auf einem grauen LEGO-Basisplate und hält ein silbernes Objekt in der rechten Hand. Im Hintergrund sind weitere LEGO-Figuren und Bauteile zu sehen, die eine technische Umgebung schaffen. Der Text "SOMEBODY ONCE TOLD ME THAT OBI WAN KENOBI WOULD SAVE A DUMB KID FROM TATTOOIN' WITH TWO DROIDS AND A FUR-BALL" wird in verschiedenen Phasen angezeigt, wobei jedes Wort oder Wortpaar in einer neuen Bildsequenz erscheint. Die Figur Darth Vader bleibt im ganzen Video in der gleichen Position, während der Text sich entwickelt. Der Text ist in weißen Buchstaben auf einem transparenten Hintergrund dargestellt, der die Figur nicht verdeckt.
