“Why isn’t the new year on the winter solstice?”
The answer, honestly, is that the Romans had no fucking idea how to run a calendar.
Like, seriously, people notice "OCTOber" and "DECEMber" and say, "hey, those mean 'eight' and 'ten', but they're the 10th and 12th months, what's up with that?".
If you've got a little more history, you'll know that July and August are named after Julius and Augustus Caesar, and think, "oh, they added those two months and bumped the rest of the months back."
Nope. The Romans were way, way worse at calendars than that.

@noelle very interesting read about the roman calendar
@benjancewicz so crazy to see a real version of #scifi #surreal
@hans Next time ask them for a list of their credit card numbers and passwords
@ManjaroLinuxBot pretty cool especially if you want to just use it as a viewer
@Ethanol6 @ChrisWere@linuxrocks.online https://archive.org usually fixes this

@alcinnz writing Disney+ a review still puts them at the center of focus, simply ignoring them and doing something constructive like support DRM free places like GOG would be more constructive.
@syscrash sounds like the entire concept behind the stock market to me. Buy low, sell high. Are they going to ban that too?
Nur schlappe 21 Jahre hat es gedauert: wir haben nun endlich einen Artikel über den #Linux-Gaming-Klassiker XBill!
Danke xlief!
@toxision seems like a good argument for automatic daily snapshots too
@toxision I've heard some people alias or replace remove with their own version that looks for recursive mounts and is dafer
@boilingsteam That's pretty cool that Valve took note of his tweet and gifted him one ahead of time.
Yoshida from Sony has received a Steam Deck - Remember when Sony used to make handhelds?: #linux #linuxgaming #sony #steamdeck #hardware #handheld #psp
QT yosp: Thanks to @valvesoftware, checking out #HorizonZeroDawn on Steam Deck :D
@derek I especially enjoyed the click bait thumbnail
@polychrome Just wait until people learn who invented "The Dock"
@linmob @XxAlexXx That rant reminds me of the @lunduke "Linux Sucks" 2010 days, as someone who spent at least 2 weeks on the #PinePhone last year I definitely understand the pain of how slow things run and especially had trouble with #kde mobile -- maybe that was a #manjaro thing idk. The #postmarketos experience was better at the time and I was able to use the #lollipop music player to do a 10k library, though it did run slow. Eventually it fell out of my pocket and part of the screen shattered -- so the gorilla glass in the pro is very welcome, though I am disappointed by another underpower CPU -- I see Pine as a stepping stone to help the software development catch up to where it needs to be.
I wouldn't mind getting a #cnc mod to the #steamdeck and adding a 4G LTE modem or equiv connected via USB or something if that's feasable. If the battery can hold in a low power state it could be an excellent phone though larger form factor.
