Needed It and Didn't Have It
This morning, after preparing the morning meal for Ben and Charlie, I decided to take them for their walk before the meal. It was spur of the moment decision, I was already outside, so off we went. I left my camera in the house. We got down to the end of the driveway and I noticed something in a bare tree across the way and seconds later realized it was a pileated woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus). I ran back to the house, I'm not quite as feeble as I let on you see, and got my camera, but the woodpecker was gone. We continued our walk when I spotted the bird flying towards me and got this horrible picture.
I don't post all of the photos that I post here to my Pixels gallery, but I post the photos I like best. Some don't make the cut.

While I'd love to see remote attestation / trusted computing / DRM be eradicated from personal computing, I fail to see how anticheats/antimalware getting kicked out of kernelspace changes anything here.
In order for those softwares to keep doing what they currently do from userspace, Microsoft will have to implement new kernel APIs for them.
I fail to see why such APIs couldn't include remote attesation, and in fact, I'm really expecting them to include it. (sadly)

@noodlemaz You say, "I'm glad it's not what you meant in this case."
You're responding to an excerpt from an article by Jay Kuo who used the word "unstable."
I'm not the one who used it.

Can satellites spot wildfires before they grow out of control?
A constellation of new satellites could help firefighters spot small blazes.

As I'm getting started on compiling content for the next @OpenBio newsletter:
Do you have #opensource #bioinformatics or #genomics community news that should be featured? 🙂
I may have to temporarily move from the Linux stand alone app for Social Stream Ninja to manage all my chats to the browser extension on a Chromium based browser (which I will be using @brave for) as I can't really log in to all the platforms to send messages but I can at least read them. But overall I would consider Sunday's Youtube and Social Stream Ninja tests to be a success socialstream.ninja/landing

I see the pair here, now and then, but haven’t got a good close look since last year.

Grazie mille per quelle gentili parole. C’è molta fortuna nel catturare un uccello in volo, dipende da quanto sei veloce. È un po’ puntare e scattare e sperare. 😆

Thank you. I'm aware that I'm not a good judge of what other people might like. I don't dislike the composition or the subject. But I was too far away so therefore had to crop the image in a lot creating much noise that needed smoothing out leaving the image without much detail. Having said that, I post a bunch of images without detail simply because I think they look good from an artsy point of view.
