Only a few tenfuls of those fishes have been rescued... the ones who were still lingering in the bottom part of the exploded aquarium.

I think there shouldn't be a mega-aquarium like this anymore...

So, heute ist die kleine Pretty ausgezogen. Da wir uns schon ein paar Mal mit der neuen Familie getroffen habe war das sehr entspannt.

Das Bettchen von der Pretty wird nicht lange unbenutzt bleiben. Morgen zieht dann die Maggie ein... (Leider erstmal nur ein Bildschirmfoto, keep tuned für neue Bilder)

Elon Musk and Autism/Aspergers

I certainly don't speak for all autistic people or for the autism community in general, but as an autistic person and someone who knows many autistic people who are kind, compassionate, honest, and decent human beings, I feel compelled to make this statement:

Elon Musk is an egotistical narcissistic megalomaniac who is out of touch with reality, power hungry, entitled, privileged, corrupt little man but nothing he does or thinks or says is because of autism.

If anyone is writing about him, or reporting on him, or making any attempt to analyze what is going on in that head of his, please keep autism out of the equation.

Does he actually have Aspergers, like he claims? Who knows. He says he does but clearly he lies. A lot. I don't know him well enough nor am I qualified to make that assessment.

Ultimately though, it doesn't matter. Autistic people can be evil too. It just means that autism isn't the reason.

So please do myself and all of the autistic people I know and any who agree with this statement a favour and leave autism out of the discussion.

Wow, what am I reading here in the news. Apparently a *gigantic* aquarium in Berlin kind of exploded, and all the water went everywhere with over thousand tropical fishes washing away.

Jeez, I hope the majority of those fishes could be rescued.

Looks like it's time to do some meta-gaming again on Steam. :steam: The Mysterious Cards, which always pop up right before a Big Sale, can be found in the Market. Time to craft badges and uh.. gain more cards! 😋

Using #vim is easy once you learn a few basic keybindings.

ᛄ - supplicate to chosen deity
ᚳ - challenge chosen deity (dangerous)

Excellent, 12 monitor arms and one dual-monitor stand ordered. From that other website.

And a coworker volunteered to be my buddy in filming the Xmas theater next week, now I feel a lot more at ease.

Ryle had a heart attack. 

People being sent death threats... DDoS on UFoI members, one LGBTQ server in good standing was blocked by 33 other instances for supporting us openly.... Yet they insist there is no problem that needs addressing, to the point they violently oppose an agreement between server admins to engage in transparency, ethics, and evidence in interinstance moderation....

These things prove that the need for the UFoI is very real.

Ryle had a heart attack. 

Apparently now people are sending death threats to UFoI members... all this does is reafirm to me the dire need for sonethi g like the UFoI

Ryle had a heart attack. 

Ryle is now hospitalized after having a heart attack last night. Ryle asked the Awoo! moderation team to write a post on their behalf and to be transparent. The conversation was brief, and we have pieced together most of the details.

Ourselves believe the heart attack was caused by a combination of things, suspect the recent stress involving strong conversations around Fedifence, Fediblock and UFOI. The triggering message was in reply to one of the UFOI threads telling Ryle to kill themselves and with video footage of men brutally stabbing a woman to death. Ryle is unlikely to be around for a while.

Receipts of the post is available on request through direct message to: @Transparency

This material is heinous and will break rules of other instances, so we are only sending this instance administrators/moderators on request. They are free to share at their own risk the receipts.

DO NOT attempt to contact Ryle to harass, upset. The moderation team also now have full access to Ryle’s account, and ourselves will be actively removing any unpleasant direct messages left.

If the heart attack is discussed, ourselves ask that you PLEASE do not tag Ryle in the conversations. Replying to this message is okay. If you are going to discuss anything regarding Ryle otherwise, PLEASE do not tag Ryle on conversations that would cause stress.

Ghost of a Tale is currently in a giveaway on GOG:

Neat! I was tempted to go for the Fanatical bundle with that game in it, guess I won't have to anymore! ;)

We have issues with ordering monitor arms too. So the director was like 'fuck it, just order 12 from that website you found', so we're going to try just that. :P

Darn, our IT is really something. We've got a new ordering system forced onto us, and the assortiment we can order from is pretty limited now.

So our teachers need wireless keyboards, right? For the digiboards. Which means they need a built-in touchpad too. Can be ordered for pretty cheap before.

Now the assortiment does have wireless keyboards.. with seperate wireless mice. Yeah, I'd love to see those teachers waving those mice in the air or whatever. :P

Hope we can order our needed stuff soon. This is starting to get ridiculous.

Just finished watching the first (big) pilot episode of TNG. Man, that was terrible. ;) Yeah yeah, the good episodes are in the later seasons, I know. I've already seen all of TNG before, but decided to rewatch it a bit again.

Also, O'Brien was a redshirt, I didn't remember that part.

Also, those uniforms suck.

Also, I still am not fond of Betazoids, nor half-Betazoids.

@lydiaconwell
I haven't read from you in a while. Is everything alright?

Are you getting tired of all these links back to the bird site? (Consider boosting so we can get a sample of opinion.)

I am excited to hear that as of today the user member count int he has just hit a record high of ~400,000 user members! That gets us to about 5% fediverse coverage!

@ufoi

I think I actually gamed too much today, which is _pretty damn nice_ for a change. Even if I have a bit of a headache now. ;)

And with gaming I do mean actual gaming, not my bazillionth round in Star Realms that I play a bit every day anyway.

Now playing Gamedec (currently in Fanatical's Ripper bundle). So far I like it. Detective game in a Cyberpunk setting with nice graphics a la Shadowrun.
Was in the mood since I recently finished Detective Di which I also enjoyed although that one has pixel graphics, quite a contrast. ;)
