I've had a rough couple of months. it's been hitting hard. But!
Today I decided to check out a modpack that makes Minecraft look and feel like the old console edition. it affected me so much I cried.
specifically visiting a recreation of stampylongnose's house just pushed me right back to being 8 years old again.
i danced to cat and ate cake and added myself to the lovely garden. it was very nice.
it was some peace I've been desperately needing

"Ceratopsian" will be the default theme for Debian 13: The theme "Ceratopsian" by Elise Couper has been selected as the default
theme for Debian 13 "trixie". The theme is inspired by Trixie's (the fictional
character from Toy Story) frill and is also influenced by a previously used
theme called "futurePrototype" by Alex Makas.

After the Debian Desktop Team made the call for proposing themes, a total
of six choices were submitted. The desktop artwork poll was open… https://bits.debian.org/2024/12/ceratopsian-will-be-the-default-theme-for-debian-13.html

@princeofhyrule here me out, all the articles specifically say this isn't a Cali only problem, and only the FEE article speculates "if trends continue" because trends say that this kind of stuff doesn't continue, and that it is already dropping off, the Brookings institute article also talks about this being an overreaction, would you accept that it might be one? yeah there was an uptick, companies over responded, there was no decrease in "thieves" being punished.

@xyno bandcamp is fun and nice for everyone involved c: and much more affordable than one would think!

@princeofhyrule https://www.brookings.edu/articles/retail-theft-in-us-cities-separating-fact-from-fiction/https://edition.cnn.com/2023/11/17/business/shoplifting-retail-crime-stores/index.html CNN and Brookings saying its made up.

https://fee.org/articles/is-the-shoplifting-epidemic-fake-bad-news-yes-and-no/ here is even the Foundation of Economic Education (a right wing “free market”) article saying that and then in the last paragraph worrying on theoretical.

@princeofhyrule they would want to, they would also want to explain to their stakeholders why it is that they are loosing revenue and not say that people are moving to online shopping and that the industry overexpanded and some stores became unprofitable.

Gend'er? I barely-!

@josh undergrad here, fedi mostly because it is FOSS, How to promote it? I think just getting people to easily sign up and letting them explore the vast space should do it, thats what has kept me here

I see a lot of university types here, professors, researchers, librarians, graduate students, various offices …

Where are the undergraduates? Are any here?

I’d enjoy hearing from undergrads why you choose the Fediverse. Thinking about how I promote this place to my students. Replies and boosts welcome.

@princeofhyrule ooopss- seems someone hasn't looked up that the store closures and market lockdowns have been completely fueled by the management of profit seeking corporations, not by any real crime statistic
