    #movie &amp;quot;Dungeons &amp;amp; Dragon Honor among thieves&amp;quot; is actually a very good surprise. I was afraid to find the same slop than in the &amp;quot;Guardians of the Galaxy&amp;quot; but we are at light years from that. A good ol&amp;#39; adventure movie on its own. A story, some characters, some stakes, an end. A movie you just watch, enjoy where your suspension of disbelief is never challenged. I&amp;#39;m not a D&amp;amp;D player but I was not lost and wouldn&amp;#39;t car...

    No more tear-off menus on #gimp 3 ? Am I correct? It was one of those GIMP killer feature, with the dynamic shortcut assignment, which apparently is also absent. :/

    I learned, via a lobster post, that KDE 3 is still being maintained through the #trinityDesktop project [1] Not sure how viable it is but KDE 3 was feature complete to me back then and the last desktop I used and for the longest time until I ran Gnome Shell from 2015 to 2018. It could be a good alternative to XFCE for those needing a desktop experience and why not, FreeBSD&amp;#39;s main offering. Need a little polish though, those icons were already out of place in 2005. :) [1] https://www...

    #askfedi Any longtime #syncthing user out there? I would like to go give another try, my experience from 5-6 years ago was not that great, I didn&#39;t want to use the public relay/discovery server and I remember it was not that smooth, I had quite some discrepancy among my devices. How is it nowadays? If you are a longtime user, can you share your experience? (i don&#39;t ask for config) thank you

    Gorgeous short exposure photo of the earh from #artemis2 . A near dying billionaire asshole of 79yo and another 79yo spoiled kid believing fairy tales want to ruin our this gem. :/

    It goes without saying that whoever comes after #Trump, be it even a Sanders like or other progressist, US should not have any more lever on international politics than any other countries and we should leave the dollars and their mil bases should fuck off our lands. That&amp;#39;s what &amp;quot;No more kings&amp;quot; should mean. #NoMoreKings

    Got the details of my last hospitalization, nothing severe fortunately, they charged me more for non-medical - and non-asked services than the care itself. My heath-care covered a big part - 80% but even for them, I find what has been charged pretty excessive. Hospital/health-care business could need better scrutiny. Probably due to their own &amp;quot;insurances&amp;quot; charging them a premium. Which leads to the question that the insurance field too should get more scrutiny. :)

    the only positive thing about #ARTEMIS is that it will shut the fuck up of the no moon-landing ass. still, I think it is a waste of money and just flex. And Apollo proved that it changed nothing for the &amp;#39;mankind&amp;#39;. Despite the tech, all the knowledge, we have ongoing wars, social issues and ecological disasters. So no, there&amp;#39;s nothing to cheer about Artemis. I&amp;#39;m a amateur astronomer but not a space nerds..

    For the next #artemis mission, if any, and if the plan is to land on the moon, please don&amp;#39;t use any M$ products. A failure would have a catastrophic effect: fuelling the &amp;quot;no moon landing&amp;quot; theory. run bsd!

    quote of the day: &amp;quot;...telling someone who wants FreeBSD desktop to buy Mac instead is like telling someone who wants Linux desktop to buy Windows because it has WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) inside. :)&amp;quot; source: @vermaden

    &amp;quot;Cloud&amp;quot; is a bad metaphor for platforms such as Azure, AWS, GCP, Heroku It should rather have been called &amp;quot;Smoke&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Haze&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Smell&amp;quot;

    Pro lifesaver tips: Pair your smartphone with a keyboard and mouse if you haven&amp;#39;t already. I just broke again my iPhone&amp;#39;s screen, hopefully, it was paired with it. BUT iOS does not work well with pointing devices (of course!) but at least i&amp;#39;m able to unlock it. And of course, on Android you can perfectly control your phone with keyboard and mouse or at least, you have adb.

    @oxyhyxo Nothing better than this scene resumes the current situation. Bob: You mean you killed off real heroes so that you could pretend to be one? Syndrom: Oh, I&amp;#39;m real. Real enough to defeat you! And I did it without your precious gifts, your oh-so-special powers. I&amp;#39;ll give them heroics. I&amp;#39;ll give them the most spectacular heroics anyone&amp;#39;s ever seen! And when I&amp;#39;m old and I&amp;#39;ve had my fun, I&amp;#39;ll sell my inventions so that everyone...
