#OTD in 1879.

The collected works of the American poet Ethel Lynn Beers are published as All Quiet Along The Potomac and Other Poems. The title poem is her best-known work. On the following day she dies aged 52 at Orange, New Jersey.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Quie…

In 1863, the poem was set to music by John Hill Hewitt. This song may have inspired the title of the English translation of Erich Maria Remarque's World War I novel All Quiet on the Western Front.

Remember when everyone got mad about privacy issues, and Microsoft assured us that Recall would only be on ARM-based "copilot" computers?

Windows Recall will be mandatory on every Windows 11 computer after 24H2.

It might be time to switch to Linux.

Ubuntu 24.10 “Oracular Oriole” Is Now Available for Download, This Is What’s New


cross-posted from: lemmy.ndlug.org/post/1225458

Powered by the latest Linux 6.11 kernel series, Ubuntu 24.10 features the latest and greatest GNOME 47 desktop environment for the Ubuntu Desktop flavor with additional patches for Mutter and GNOME Shell to enhance stability and performance. In addition, the Ubuntu Dock now visualizes Snap refreshes and includes better handling for PWAs installed via the Chromium Snap.


...

Under the hood, Ubuntu 24.10 comes with an updated toolchain that includes GCC 14.2, GNU Binutils 2.43.1, GNU C Library 2.40, LLVM 19, Rust 1.80, Go 1.23, OpenSSL 3.3, systemd 256.5, Netplan 1.1, and .NET 8. The Ubuntu Desktop installer was also updated with support for local file paths for autoinstall import.


...

Ubuntu 24.10 will be supported for only nine months, until July 2025. If you’re looking for long-term support, you should download and install Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat), which is supported until at least 2029.

I switched to Debian KDE Plasma recently and I can barely tell there's a difference except it doesn't let Firefox be snap (yay) and Steam takes 5 minutes to install instead of 0 (meh).

Yeah, it went from old Ubuntu to Ubuntu - bullshit over the last few years.


Odd for media, which feeds on openness, to criticize it. I've been open about my two cancers and I despise accusation of oversharing. Mind your own business about my business. Sharing is generous, for it enables connection.

Climate "overshoot" is bullshit:

"Nearly all modelled pathways for limiting global heating to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels involved temporarily transgressing this target.

A new study published in Nature has ... found that humanity’s ability to restore Earth’s temperature below 1.5°C of warming, after overshooting it, cannot be guaranteed. Many impacts of #ClimateChange are essentially irreversible."

in reply to CelloMom On Cars

"By conjuring up the fantasy of overshoot-and-return, scientists invented a mechanism for delaying climate action and unwittingly lent credibility to those (and they are many) who have no real interest in reigning in emissions here and now; who will seize on any excuse to keep the oil and gas and coal flowing just a little longer."

To be fair to the scientists: Seems the fossil fuel people applied huge pressure on them to do this.



Has anyone else encountered missing fonts in games using WINE before?


First of all, yes it's a hentai game. You can believe it's for my girlfriend or not.

I asked her if she'd like a Steam Deck and she said it fits how she'd probably play games, but she wants to play a bunch of games she got off MangaGamer and she wants to make sure they'd work on the Deck.

I have a thinkpad running Fedora so we installed one through WINE to try it out. Everything is working but all the text are these squares for missing characters.

Is there any easy way to install fonts and characters for WINE, or will we need to look at something like the ROG Ally instead?

in reply to rotopenguin

This is what fixed it, thank you. It must be that although the game is in English, it's using the English characters from a Japanese font and character pack. Now I know what the issue is, playing these games on the Deck is more possible

Fossil hunter, folklorist, evangelist, stonemason, newspaper editor, social justice campaigner, & geologist, Hugh Miller (1802–1856) – born #OTD, 10 Oct – deserves to be remembered in the company of Carlyle, Ruskin, Matthew Arnold & JS Mill as one of the leading moral & social thinkers of the 19th century

“…the tar which used to boil in it to the heat, like resin in a fagot of moss-fir, was as strange a mixture as ever yet bubbled in witches’ caldron—blood of pterodactyle and grease of ichthyosaur—eye of belemnite and hood of nautilus…”
