it is now at the point that it wants me to sudo dnf5 offline reboot - I will want to be there in person for that. excuse me a moment
love when i can tell a hand-off has just been made; the ethernet interface's job is done, now is time for the CPU to do its duty
so now i'm sitting in my Comfy Chair in a completely different room, watching this update go, and also monitoring its vitals with btop in another pane because i fucking can. GOD I love it when I feel like I know what I'm doing
it took me more searching than i feel i should have had to do, but i found a guide to attempt the fedora 43 upgrade from a terminal, so i'm doing that over SSH right now.
turns out that, going by advice i was given by someone else last month, it *WAS* due to wine being installed (terminal was throwing "inferior architecture" warnings and aborting). removing wine-dxvk* with dnf and starting over seems to be progressing.
i previously attempted to upgrade from Fedora 42 to 43 on this computer, and found that upon reboot, it was still on Fedora 42.
nothing has really changed here but I'm gonna try it again for no reason.
"The most wildly successful project Iβve ever released is no longer mine. In all my years of building things and sharing them online, I have never felt so violated."
one of those nights where it's difficult to fall asleep, there's only so much i can chase the unread message dots or do anything physical to wear down whatever's got me wired tonight.
i dunno, maybe there's some old fiction in my Dropbox i haven't read in a while.
not sure how well known this already was, but i just stumbled upon an archive of super high-res 35mm photos of Newton and NeXT photos from the 90s, by photographer doug menuez. the vast majority are candid b+w snapshots of the newton and next teams as they grind through workdays and product launches
I'm sure for many of you this won't be news but it was for me and I thought it was interesting so I'm sharing!
"In the film The Matrix, Switch was originally meant to change genders upon entering the Matrix, which coined their name "Switch". In the real world, Switch would be male, and in the Matrix, Switch would be female - a very clever and critical point of the 'residual self-image' idea. When actress Belinda McClory auditioned for the role, she was going for only half the role - Switch's Matrix form.
Warner Brothers made the decision to cut this and give Switch one form for both environments.
Switch's presentation is deliberately androgynous to pay homage to their original concept."
In 2021, I did a #furry #ZZT #cyberpunk action/puzzle game, "Cyber Purge". In 2024, I overhauled it for itch.io! Become a nonbinary hacker and rescue an immersive VR game from a fascist! Old-school shooting/puzzle-solving await!
