Tasman Gems, by Tom Rae

This photograph shows the rugged peaks of the Tasman valley reaching up to the impressive features of the southern hemisphere summer night sky. It includes the hydrogen clouds of the Gum nebula – the central red region – and various other regions of active star formation stretching throughout the fainter arms of the Milky Way.

@kkarhan Years ago, Moho was available for Linux. That was in fact how I first used it, circa 2007 or 2008 maybe? But I think Linux support got dropped when the software was sold to Smith Micro (or whoever it was that rebranded it to Anime Studio). Now that the (more or less) original owners have reclaimed Moho, it might be possible to get Linux support again if they see that part of the market is big enough. Not sure it is though.

@muhkayoh I really wish for more #CreativeSoftware to support #Linux as #finalcutOS aka. #macOS becomes more and more #enshittified like #Windows and I'd rather bite the bullet and pay for #RHEL / #SLED / #UbuntuPro #subscriptions instead of having to deal with #Apple's "my way or the highway" attitude towards Hardware (regardless of all the valid criticism towards #nvidia just to name the elephant in the room)...

@barrysampson given the #licensing costs for #ToonBoom, it's good to see their #TechSupport actually invested time and effort.

Most "Professional Software" on #Linux is sometimes really nit easy to procure:

  • #Autodesk literally won't even offer me a #license for #Maya unless I sent them a Serial # of an eligible Workstation (i.e. #HP #Z600 - spec'd to compatibility from the factory) existing & valid #RHEL subscription and would only support that combo with the license...

So it's no wounder those that can't afford it stick to #blender & #Moho like @fuchsiii ...

Oh! Yes, if we're talking about the pre-Johnson Dixiecrats, then there is indeed a stronger analogy than I was thinking!
in reply to 𝕕𝕚𝕒𝕟𝕖𝕒 🏳️‍⚧️🦋

Now I'm overthinking... if one party gets taken over by the refugees from another party, is that actually a "flip"?

Also, Eisenhower was kinda socialist (interstate highway project, and railed against the "military-industrial complex"), so there's that too.



I had to disable all of this to prevent firefox from phoning home about my location to a 3rd-party weather service I don't want to use. Because if you click on the "hide weather" thing, IT STILL PHONES HOME.

And I have to do it for every single device I use.

What the hell, moz?

High-tech Silhouette, by Tom Williams

This H-alpha image of the sun features the silhouette of the International Space Station transiting the eastern solar limb. Crossing the field of view in just 0.2 seconds, ISS transits of the sun are particularly rare from any one location on Earth. The sun was active and a prominence can be seen right next to the station’s transit location.

in reply to Andrew Pam

Yeah, I'm just annoyed because they reference Varoufakis's book and how it's "Technofeudalists" vs "(true) Capitalists", while the title of their episode is "Technofeudalists" vs "Solarpunk".

The implication is that (true) Capitalists equals Solarpunk.

in reply to Andrew Pam

It sounds like we're all wanting a bit more Commons returned to the people and planet regardless of what it gets called in the US.


Coronal Chronograph, by Peter Ward

This image shows the solar corona at solar maximum and solar minimum. The lower half of the picture was taken in 2017 at close to solar minimum. The upper half was taken approaching solar maximum six years later.
