Acerola - I tried simulating the entire ocean

I really enjoy listening to this guy, he really explains the details about graphics in an easily accessible way.

Start with Luke 21 …

He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. “Truly I tell you,” he said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others.

Sounds… nice, poor people should give, right? Then read just before the unfortunate? chapter break at the end of Luke 20

“Beware of the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets. They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.”

Can you make that graph look more like pacman?

This is exactly what I was thinking.

Or that we are all refugees and are just tired of enshitification.

I thought ‘Children of the mind’ was good, could have been merged with Xenocide.

Whatever you do, stay away from ‘The Last Shadow’. What a terrible way to finish a series.

Very nice write up, I may pick up the game after reading it, thank you!

'I be crazy too, little buddy, but at least when I be craziest, I be floating all alone in space and the crazy, she float out of me, she soak into the walls, and she don’t come out till there be battles and little boys bump into the walls and squish out de crazy.’

But the 1% aren’t poor! /s

A traffic jam when you’re already late

Year of the Linux Desktop may never be a relevant measure, but it was Steam Deck and Proton that marked the transition for me.

The deck is awesome because it’s Linux

Have you looked into bone conduction headphones?

Fidelity goes up (!) when you plug your ears. I use them in server rooms and on my bike (sans the earplugs).

Aftershocks is a good brand, basically anything with a titanium band.

Everyone says ‘listen’ but I would suggest one way to act on that advice. This is more of a general parenting advice for small kids (or all kids?).

Let them choose what to do. If their interested in soccer, give that a try. If they want to learn about ants, let them observe, guide them through the thoughts.

Play is dictated by their interests, not your expectations or dreams. This way there is much less struggle, save for the times you really need, and learning and play get tied together.

Wow, collapse OS is quite the rabbit hole. Makes me think of the bootstrapping work described in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Children_of_the_Sky

Shout out to the Ti-8X users and anyone who remembers zshell.

I doubt this announcement is going to affect the calculators, but it’s amazing to see how many things still run off this technology.

Hah! The ambiguity of this title is worth roasting.

I am on the lookout for audiobooks with music. Best I’ve found are podcasts (Magnus archives) and the ‘SCP exploring’ series on YouTube.

Just some BGM to fall asleep to, and some words not too important to listen to. I guess creepy helps too.

A poignant quote here

"It was a disaster so bad that a new word, Waldsterben, or “forest death,” was minted to describe the result. All the same species and age, the trees were flattened in storms, ravaged by insects and disease — even the survivors were spindly and weak. Forests were now so tidy and bare they were all but dead. "
