Caffeine can disrupt your sleep — even when consumed 12 hours before bed. While a 100 mg dose of caffeine (1 cup of coffee) can be consumed up to 4 hours before bedtime without significant effects on sleep, a 400 mg dose (4 cups of coffee) disrupts sleep when taken up to 12 hours before bedtime. byteseu.com/580455/ #Science

#OTD in 1904.

The first of Virginia Woolf's published writings, "Haworth, November 1904", an account of a visit to the Brontë family home, appears anonymously in a women's supplement to a clerical journal, The Guardian. (A book review written later has appeared in the same journal a week earlier.)

Thou hast let billionaires play god, and now they’re treating thy government like a game of Twister—one hand on greed, one foot on corruption, and a fucking faceplant right into dystopia.

Thank you for your post.
Musk may own trump, but what a money losing investment.

You're the best, God. Please send more prophets to take us down to the studs. In a good way.


#ArduinoLibraries #FOSS #Bot

ArduinoLibs bot is one year old 🎉

🐘 fosstodon.org/@arduinoLibs
🟦 bsky.app/profile/arduinolibs.b…

the fediverse account didn't grow much though 🤔

is there any bot owner out there that could help me understand that gap?

possible causes I can think of:

- bot filtering/throttling is stronger on fediverse than on bluesky
- account landed in a federated blacklist
- server landed in a federated blacklist
- fediverse community doesn't care about that kind of content



Installed #Kubuntu 24.10 over a UAlinux 20.04 yesterday for reasons. Install went ok, maybe 15 minutes. Then came the problems. The laptop's HDMI port wasn't recognized, so no external screen. The drivers for the graphics card weren't installed, not even Nouveau. Customization settings are not preserved, this is like a bug from 2011. The mouse doesn't work in games. It's a shambles. How is such trash meant to ever replace Windoze?

to add to my post, all the problems I mentioned went away when I changed from Wayland back to X11. The guilty party was Wayland, this thing is so not ready for mainstream use, and #kubuntu 24.10 makes this crap the default. #linux #gamingonlinux

This is a pretty good write up on what your options are. I'd say 'Go Linux' myself.

So before I soonish install the new linuxmint (with #xfce btw baby 😎) is there anything fun I can try, to break my current system? And no, rm -rf is only a meme, give me something cool 😅
Pls nothing that goes hard on the ressources, I only want a system breakdown, not a hardware one....

L’horreur en Allemagne, le bilan humain de l’attaque du marché de Noël a Magdeburg est en hausse avec 5 morts et plus de 200 blessés. Scholz est sur place et des renforts policiers venant d’autres Ländern ont ete déployés. C’est le cas de la part du Baden-Wurtemberg, l’Etat juste à côté de chez moi.

Il y avait un membre du hamas potentiellement au marché. Donc Israel a toute légitimité pour se defendre. Ce sont des pertes collatérales.

Ah non c'est pas le bon papier...

Euh c'est horrible, noel quand meme, c'est notre civilization qui est attaquée.
