Reading this summary of Ronni Salt’s debut novel, my guess is it will be quirkier and more fun than it suggests.

Pre ordering really helps authors out, makes their publisher pay attention, if you know you’re going to buy a copy why not jump in now?

I’m all in on UV github.com/astral-sh/uv . There are a few warts, but it’s replaced pyenv, pipx, and poetry for me.

#python #uv

Just think how far #Linux #gaming has come since 2010 is insane! I was just thinking about how back in October of that year while on my deployment in Afghanistan and just finished installing #Ubuntu 10.10 for the first time being somewhat amazed at the world of #Linux but also disappointed at the lack of games on the ecosystem. Then learning about Desura and #open #source games.... We should be proud of the age we live in now as Linux lifers.
