I read the first book for October's #TBRChallenge and had to read book two, which was not in my TBR. Support your local libraries folks, they're out here being awesome while the world burns. My review of The Best Man to Trust by Kerry Connor is over at the Bat Cave wendythesuperlibrarian.blogspo… #RomBkBlog @romancelandia

Romancelandia group reshared this.





Blender Studio was at BCON24! Check out a recap of the activities that happened last week: studio.blender.org/blog/blende… #b3d

fosstodon.org/@elaterite/11340… elaterite@fosstodon.org - These are Washingtonia fillifera (desert fan palm). They are the only native palm in the US desert Southwest. All of the palm trees seen in cities are non-native cultivars. There's only a handful of sites where W. fullifera survive. This grove is near the Arizona / Calif border in the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge. Sadly, I didn't have time to climb up into the canyon where the palms are. I had to make haste to get to the Grand Canyon to photograph the comet!

Once again a journalist has withheld potentially vital information -- for years in this case -- in order to make money later on. It's all just business, no conscience required.

This is horrible. What's the BS reason he didn't bring this info out earlier?
I followed the great reporting from Julie Brown of the Miami Herald.
What struck me was all the fixers who helped cover up the story.
PR & legal fixers used the rules of journalism to keep stories about their clients quiet. They used the rights of the victims to protect the predators.
But some victims kept going through the intimidation, pay offs & failure of the justice system.

the last thing I’d want to read is a book about Trump! They should release the worst quotes from the tapes (or all of them, really).

I had a project idea for the #flipperzero where #linux would run on the wifi dev board and you can have a Linux system you can interact with from the UART terminal.

From my research, it has an ESP32-S2-WROVER. I've seen people get Linux working on ESP32-S3's but not an ESP32-S2.

Thought about calling it flippix or something. Anyone got any ideas making this work?

Support ticket burnout in #opensource projects is a real thing for founders & maintainers. It's hard to find people who will stay and help out others once they've solved their own problem. I guess I'm equally guilty, but, first time seeing it from this perspective. Any tips?
