Arcane teases a sibling showdown in its punchy new teaser.
With its second (and final) season set to be released sometime this November, the new trailer dives deeper into the escalating conflict between the cities of Piltover and Zaun, and the sisters Vi and Jinx fighting on either side.
It also introduces Ashnikko’s new single “Paint The Town Blue,” which will feature on the show’s soundtrack.
Open source projects whining about not getting new contributors. Well here's a lesson, don't do what the Linux kernel maintainers just did. If you want your project to actually grow and progress into the future, you need fresh ideas from newcomers.
If you drive them away with a stubborn unwillingness to learn and honestly just incompetent community and project management, this is what happens. Newcomers will come and see what's up and then leave. Because it is clear they and their ideas are not welcome.
Computer kernels come and go like the wind. If the Linux kernel project wants to maintain its relevancy in the coming future they need to adapt a better programming language like Rust. They also need actually good project and community management and not rule by oligarchy of a few old-time maintainers.
Otherwise, they will be replaced by better, safer code in new kernel projects and then eventually relegated to the dustbin of computer history.
Hey folks, Djangonaut Space is accepting applications for session 3 currently until Sept 15. So there's not a ton of time.
This next session will begin on Oct 14th.
If you're interested in contributing to Django or Open Source and haven't been able to make it work, this might be what you need! If nothing else, we're a fun group of positive individuals.
Ah that's why you planted it there. Brilliant!
Has Valheim continued to make dock building virtually impossible, or have workarounds been found?

The Israeli army has extended its assault on the Jenin refugee camp, after an order from the Defence Minister.
It's killed at least 39 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank in nine days. Israel says it's targeting Palestinians it believes were involved in attacks against Israeli civilians.
Medics treat casualties, but now also deliver food and other basics, or help residents make necessary trips across the city.

You may have seen this quote before. It's beautifully stated, and although Krishnamurti himself probably never spoke these exact words, it conveys an idea, an important idea, like that tale of the Emperor's New Clothes.
All you have to do is really look. Take the blinders off. Ignore the propaganda. Forget what you've been taught.
😳 The Emperor is naked.
😳 Society is sick.
😳 Capitalism is killing us.
😳 Green Growth™ is a dead end.

Would have been great if the reporter said, “I’m not asking about it for this school shooting. I’m asking for the one that happened in Atlanta in February because we still haven’t made schools safer since then.”
Open Research Europe (ORE) is poised to become a decentralized #openscience network, supported by funders and institutions:
op.europa.eu/en/publication-de…
I have a suggestion: EU funders develop a policy that they only fund applications from members of institutions that support ORE. This policy does not cost a single cent and incentivizes good scientific practice.
My #introduction on my new shiny mathstodon.xyz account! I'm slowly deprecating my @alexmath account but I'm kinda bad at fediverse stuff 😅
Hi all! I am Alex (she/her), a #trans mathematician with a PhD in extremal combinatorics now working in as a data scientist. I am a deeply curious experimentalist and I love to learn different topics. My favorite programming languages are #rust and #python but I've had some fun with #cuda GPGPU, too :) I like machine learning as a scientific problem-solving tool, but not the stuff that involves weapons, theft, and violence.
Presently, I live in #Philly with my fluffy orange cat Angus and my partner. I got a new bike and wish I could lose the car forever. Still masking in public. Still getting vaccines. Eternally exhausted, but hopeful and curious.
Fediverse etiquette suggestions welcome!

I plan on jotting down my thoughts on #fedimg project. The hope is it will keep me motivated to get the job even when I am not @dansup
I mean, my god! where does he find the energy to stay motivated and focused to deliver gems like @fedidb @loops on top of #Pixelfed !!
Now that a remote user can Follow fedimg user, I will focus my attention towards the landing page and user dashboard.
P.S. I need to also start thinking of a “feed” in the future but that comes once I implement logic where a fedimg user follows a remote AP user. It’s far off but it’ll get there!
