Back then we lent if from the library, and then tried to play as far as possible in the various puzzle games the game had. I have fond memories of trying to get them solved. Definitly animated me to logically think about problems. 10/10 game, thanks to WINE still playable today.

I present: The Löwenzahn video game running on #Debian in 2025. This is a major #blastfromthepast for me. Löwenzahn is/was a kids tv show to educate about science and nature, with a focus on sustainability. It's still being produced today; the original creator/actor died unfortunately. This played a major role to get me interested in STEM, while also not forgetting the environment.
This must be one of the very first video games I ever played. /1

PSA: In #Debian unstable nautilus plugins are currently b0rked, leading to a segfault on startup. Currently debugging the root cause.

<erno> hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.

Why is Master of Reality such a good album? Just amazing.

@Ganneff @mirabilos It's on my todo list to reimplement a basic salsa CI in woodpecker (what forgejo uses). If we had that, migration would still be a hassle, but possible. I also suspect we'd have more resources for CI, as forgejo consumes less resources than GitLab.

Australian software engineer Sarah Spencer hacked a 1980's knitting machine to create "Stargazing: a knitted tapestry" to show the universe in a unique way. 🇦🇺

Sarah explains, “By using a floppy drive emulator written in Python and a web interface, I can send an image to the Raspberry Pi over the network, preview it in a knitting grid, and tell it to send the knitting pattern to the knitting machine via the floppy drive port ...

Holy hell, the new #Halestorm album slaps.
Especially "Like A Woman Can", "Darkness Always Wins" and "Rain Your Blood On Me".

Definitely listening to that on repeat in the coming days.

ngl, #GNOME Calender 49 looks really sleek, kudos to the devs.

Apparently this requires restating:
We should not want a European Palantir.
We should not want an open-source Palantir.
We should not want a non-commercial Palantir.

If it is supposed to do what Palantir does, we should not want it.

And I don't care to what extent Palantir's products are shaped by political or profit motives. We know enough to reject its logic altogether.

The Amphora of Great Intelligence (AGI) Part 2

A comic strip in four panels:

Panel 1. A bird's-eye view of the top of the Amphora of Great Intelligence, a wizard in yellow colors is on the stack of books from the content of the amphora. He yell at a crowd of wizard at the bottom of the Amphora, a crowd of red wizard. Some other wizard in red evacuate some grimoires, their arms are full of books. On the top, you can see an onion (for The Onion) and a cover that looks like the Reddit mascot:  
> Wizard in yellow: Alright, I've cleared out a few grimoires to tweak it, we should get better results now!

Panel 2. A view of the wizards at the foot of the Amphora, the fire is intense, they all raise their arms in incantation:  
> Crowd of wizards: Amphora of Great Intelligence, our world is dying, share your knowledge with us!

Panel 3. The Amphora of Intelligence starts speaking, this time very seriously. The mages are still speechless.  
> Amphora: Stop chasing profits blindly, reduce your reliance on fossil fuels, and prioritize repair and recycling over production.  
> Crowd of wizards: ... ... ...

Panel 4. A discontented red wizard yells at the wizard in yellow who tweaked the content of the Amphora in panel one. This one feels surprised:  
>Wizard in red: I don't like this. Let's adjust it again.
