All you need to know if you're considering moving permanently to France.
I want longer days. 26 hours at least. My optimum could be even 30 or 36 hours.
@log oh, I see. I would lean toward a particular hardware/OS combo that's known to work (like Apple does lol) and pray hard.
@log I can comment on two use cases:
1. If you're unhappy about getting stuck on technical problems but you want to be liberated by being able to fix deeply technical issues yourself, one avenue is to learn about the internals. Gentoo was (still is?) a good way to do this for me when I used it until about 12 years ago. You get to compile everything by yourself. The distribution is designed for this and it's very interesting but it gets tiring because compiling all the packages takes ages.
2. If you want something that just works, the latest LTS (long-term support) release of Ubuntu is a good choice. Do not expect it to just work but with a bit of luck, it might.
I haven't spent much time looking for the ideal Linux distribution in a while, so they may be better info out there.

@HeavenlyPossum I love how you pick a hero and assume everyone is like him. While most people aren't selfish, some are and we need ways to minimize their impact.

We really don’t make enough of the fact that you don’t need JS to make a nice website. Just HTML and CSS
And, whatever most programmers say about HTML and CSS, they absolutely are much more accessible to learn than JS ever has been or will be

@timdesuyo @beej@octodon.social is it a good thing? 
What unusual lighting does to depth perception:
This is the same photo, rotated by 180°.

To whomever wants to hear it:
There's a common misconception that stereoscopic vision is necessary to perceive depth ("3D"). It's not. Especially when things move: typical action movies are the worst candidates for stereoscopy. One of the best applications is still photography of unfamiliar large objects with unusual light sources.
Why:
1. unfamiliar objects: no cue as to how big they are or how they move relative to the rest of the scene.
2. large: everything is far from the camera => everything is equally in focus.
3. unusual lighting: if light comes from below, shadows are interpreted wrong by our terrestrial minds (e.g. flip a photo of footprints in the sand upside down, they will appear bumpy)

@martine_dowden @b0rk one day, I'll force-push to a branch under review that was edited by a colleague without me knowing about it... but it hasn't happened to me yet.
@dpiponi this makes me consider publishing free software projects on floppy disks that people can buy to support the project.

Earlier today, King Charles III revealed his first official portrait since his coronation in May 2023: https://flip.it/OtdatX (via TOWN & COUNTRY).
The painting, by artist Jonathan Yeo, was commissioned in 2020 when the King was still Prince of Wales.
Reactions ranged wildly.
What’s your take?

@ArtPhotosDesk it's fucking awesome.
To be clear, nonsense happens all the time, it's normal. What bothers me is the passivity in the face of recurring nonsense.
By the way, vitamin D is not a vitamin but it's called a vitamin anyway. I'm glad I'm not a biologist anymore. This sort of nonsense used to drive me nuts.
