Some goals I'd like to achieve sometime soon:
-Have a healthy, consistent sleep schedule.
-Have a healthier, less sedentary lifestyle.
-Switch primarily to open source software on my personal computer, OS included.
-Be more involved in my local communities (LGBT+, software, etc but in my native language).
-Contribute to an open source project.
There's gonna be a pride event in my city this Saturday. I'd like to participate, but crowds make me uneasy...

whenever someone I don't know emails me a pitch for using AI to improve my business I mark it as spam so they can participate in a useful form of machine learning

Iโm a little cranky, short and stout,
Here is my clenched hand, here is my pout,
When my temperโs boiling, here me shout!
Have a cookie and sort it out ๐ต
I want to replace my plastic reusable bottle with, idk, a stainless steel one. Maybe get a few for my family as well
Starfield looks interesting but no way my computer can run that game! It doesn't even meet the minimum RAM requirement!

People seem to really have bought into the capitalist version of open source where software is still a product that requires support and marketing and a roadmap and exists to serve a user community separate and apart from the project.
But a whole lot of open source is really just a sharing economy. Itโs devs doing something they found useful and deciding to share it rather than hoard it. Those devs donโt owe anyone extra labor just because they chose to share.
I spent the weekend working on a maze generation algorithm for PICO-8 and now what I want to make is an AI that maps the maze and finds an optional route to the goal

I've been using #linux exclusively since January. No PCs (not even for my daily job) runs Windows anymore.
I have a single thing that I miss *a lot* and it's *Paint.net*. I loved that editor and I can't find anything in that league worth enough.
Does anybody know of a similar tool on Linux?

me: *alt-tabs out of a game*
windows: oh dear god what is happening hurrghghgh
*my monitor flickers wildly for ten seconds*
*all of my desktop icons are rearranged*
*every single window I have open is pushed into a tiny pixel in the corner of my screen*
*everything is 640x480*
*HDR turns on for some reason*
*my hard drive starts formatting itself*
*my headphones blast dial-up noises in my ear*
*my keyboard catches on fire*

On May 6, 1933, Nazi stormtroopers (Sturmbteilung) broke into this library, looted the building, killed at least one of the occupants, and hauled the majority of its books outside for a public book burning in the streets of the Opernplatz. Joseph Goebbels gave a speech to 40,000 people about "protecting our nation's children".
The photo has become an icon of Nazi German brutality and fascism. It is shown in school textbooks worldwide above the caption "Nazi book burnings, 1933". It is often published in news stories and social media whenever the subject of banning books arises.
What is not often mentioned in those stories is the SUBJECT of the burned books. The building was the Institute for the Science of Sexuality. The first of its kind, dedicated to studying trans people and trans identities, and performing gender confirming surgery for a number of patients. And the books that were burned were trans histories and trans patient records.
Remember, they came for trans people first.

Which of these games have you completed?
Learned about the micromouse event and I was wondering how hard it would be to make a virtual equivalent of that ๐ค
