New Beatles song debuts today, sounds like something I might even like based on the promo for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APJAQoSCwuA

It's bad enough that someone would bomb a refugee camp killing 100s of civilians, but that so many people all over the world gleefully support that, makes it so much worse.

@winicons Yay, glad we finally have this on the fediverse!

This is the most comprehensive review of the Raspberry Pi 5 that I've seen so far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBtOEmUqASQ

Really just being angry about the state of the world right now. My tolerance for people who have no compassion for people who are different than themselves is rapidly diminishing to nothing.

I really like people who have the courage to say it how it is. https://youtu.be/HJcGTjAFGjk?si=Hrk_Zx_5Iv1b1LBv&t=267

@LALegault Democracy Now and Aljazeera (while both not being perfect either) has much better journalism and in-depth news coverage than CNN (who also has way too many ads and repeats content way too often)

@LALegault Since the John Malone buyover, CNN has become so deluted that I can't consider it any form of journalism anymore. Every interviewer just gives a platform for whoever they talk to to steer the conversation and say whatever they want. So there's no critical questions, lots of softball questions, very little content and low signal to noise.

@bloor you're married to your wife!? No wonder Netflix is suspicious!

Watching a press conference from the Israeli president, he's even more overt than Putin about his hatred for fellow human beings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Om3KRrL_6vM

Maybe at one point I would've considered a possibility of going to Israel in the future, but right now there's a zero chance of that. The people who unconditionally support Israel are in the same league as people who supported Apartheid in South Africa, a MAGA American or other types of trash people.

I want nothing to do with them and they're not my friend. If someone can't manage to maintain a very minimum baseline of humanity, then they can go fuck off for all that I'm concerned.

Last year they escalated further and went after journalists. Even destroying a major media building (fortunately no one was in there at the time) and killing journalists. Today they are taking down telecoms, and preventing food and medicine from entering the region.

I condemn the terrorist attacks from Hamas. I also condemn the senseless, relentless violence that Israel has inflicted upon millions of innocent people, and continue to do.

Around 2021, I would've considered going to Israel in the future if Netanyahu was ousted in the elections, and the extremist right-wing members of his government would go out with him and if there was a glimmer of hope of peace with Palestine. Instead, he's still there, and they continued ruthlessly murdering Palestinian civilians and confined them to Gaza, the biggest open-air prison in the world.

@rotfarm What happens as you get older, is that your circle of what's considered "normal" just keeps expanding, and then all the friends that you added because you like their freak flags will gradually just look more and more normal. But if that starts freaking you out, it's time to make more friends again.

I'm a bit late to the party, but finally got to watch this video covering all the changes in Godot 4.0, wish I had more time to play with it! I also wonder how easy it is to teach to kids, looks like a great learning platform too instead of just for games. When I was in school some kids wrote school projects in BASIC, I can just imagine what we could've done if we had access to this back then.

Tried Wayland on my laptop last weekend. It's come a long way, I couldn't notice at all that I'm not using Xorg in my GNOME session. Problem is that it froze on Saturday and on Sunday my lock screen... locked up. So while it's getting there, it's just not quite ready for me yet

At work we tried it on some new Dell laptops, but it had lots of flickering and screen artifacts.

This weekend I'm going to try it again with Plasma Desktop on my laptop and see how it goes.

@juliank Ufh. I really wouldn't want a seperate /boot partition in cases where I use btrfs as /

While I was at DebConf my backyard exploded with lots and lots of tiny yellow flowers.

@mjg59 Sadly I also can't take credit because I was in a flight over the Indian ocean! Good job to whomever did all the needful bits to make it happen, though.
