What a special way to celebrate Diwali by looking up to the stars and honoring the triumph of light over darkness.

Happy Diwali, America.

Today I implemented advanced style settings for #fluffychat with much more colors and the ability to blur the wallpaper. Also fixed a bug which made a wallpaper always look too downscaled

Hyundai knows how to make a good-looking hydrogen concept car

This retro-futuristic styled Initium targets 400-plus miles of range per refuel and is a ‘preview’ of Hyundai’s upcoming production fuel cell-powered SUV.



So I've been trying #bluesky , and I looked it up on Wiki.

Is it #opensource or not? It says #mit licensed, but is that the entire stack or what? Is it gonna end up like #birdsite ?

I love #mastodon , and other pure opensource protocols like #irc and whatnot, so I hope this isn't another social media merry-go-round lol.



I'm going to try to get back into #GameStreaming, but a lot has changed since the last time I did so. For one, I previously streamed on Twitch, but would love to find an open source alternative this time. For another, I'll be streaming exclusively from #Linux this time, instead of Windows.

Any recommendations? If there's a solid option on the #fediverse, even better!

Any Linux live streamers you recommend? I'm going through a Twitch kick thanks to Pirate Software lol. Never really been part of the Twitch viewership before.

Do you have a WordPress site and a Fediverse account?

Mastodon now has a feature where website owners can display their Fedi account in link previews shared on Mastodon. e.g. If you share a link from fedi.tips on Mastodon you will see the @FediTips account in the preview.

However, the feature can be difficult to activate on WordPress sites with multiple authors.

To solve this, there's a plugin by @mstankiewicz available from:

Are Countries Ignoring the Laws of War?


There are rules and norms in place in conflicts meant to shield civilians from the worst harms of war. But human rights groups say lately they're being ignored or broken. Our correspondent has been covering two wars in which many of the laws of war are being flouted.

A quotation from Murasaki Shikibu

I have never thought there was much to be said in favour of dragging on long after all one’s friends were dead.


Murasaki Shikibu (c. 973 - c. 1014/1025) Japanese novelist, poet, lady-in-waiting [紫式部]
The Tale of Genji [源氏物語], ch. 29 “The Royal Visit [行幸]” [Princess Omiya] (AD 1001-1015) [tr. Waley (1928)]

“In many ways, #Trump has won the policy argument at the border. Joe #Biden and Kamala Harris have both embraced versions of his bottleneck strategy and hope to choke off asylum access between official ports of entry. But, for the 11 million undocumented already in the country, the distinction between the parties remains bright.” texasobserver.org/editors-lett…
