Firealpaca has a native linux version now :blobfoxwhoaa:

IDK when exactly they added it (I'm assuming post steam deck) but big win for the art community.

I wish it wasn't an appimage but a W is a W.

I wrote a very simple elisp function to open a remote mbox file from emacs.

Super useful when you want to open a lore.kernel.org thread from a mailing list you are not subscribed to and answer/review some mails.

Just execute

M-x jroi-rmail-url

and enter the relevant mbox.gz URL.

Quando da un bel convegno (II Meeting Internazionale "La scienza per la pace") viene fuori qualcosa di molto buono, che rimane e che può dar frutti... io qui, in "Astronomia e metodo scientifico. Un rapporto dinamico che ci prepara ad un mondo nuovo", parlo delle misure di un tavolo, ma anche di Plutone 😉

Il libro è già disponibile su Amazon.



First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston.
Another good book after weeks of aimlessly searching. Fast paced, and kept me on the edge of my seat for the most part—what I always look for when picking a thriller/mystery.
Recommended.

After holding 31 months the Ukrainian town of Vuhledar and fending off three Russian offensives, Ukrainian forces withdraw from the embattled and totally destroyed settlement.

During those more than 2 years, Russia lost thousands of troops and vehicles for the 3.5 square kilometer (1.4 square mile) large settlement, paling even the costly battles of Bakhmut and Avdiivka.



In August Putin ordered the recapture of the Ukrainian-held territories in the Kursk region by 1st of October. Today is that day and the Ukrainian forces are firmly entrenched in this Russian region.


In October 1844.

Please don't use "Dismiss" for such Alert buttons. This should be "OK" instead.

"OK" remains the same in every language, but any German translation of "Dismiss" becomes absolutely terrible, e.g.

See here:

"In informational alerts only, you can use “OK” for acceptance"

@dansup OK, then Apple nowadays ignores their own guidelines. Terrible trend, unfortunately.
