"i use linux as my operating system," i state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. he swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision.
"actually," he says with a grin, "linux is just the kernel. you use GNU+linux."
i don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "i use alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU coreutils, or any other GNU code. it's linux, but it's not GNU+linux."

the smile quickly drops from the man's face. his body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth as he drop to the floor with a sickly thud. as he writhes around he screams "I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!"
coolly, i reply "if windows was compiled with gcc, would that make it GNU?" i interrupt his response with "and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. even if you were correct, you won't be for long."

with a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life is ejected from his body. he lies on the floor, cold and limp. i've womansplained him to death.

How can a deer tell when a leaf falls silent in the forest? She hears it breathing differently. ~ Richard Bach 💚

@dan There is a version formatted for eBook! It includes downloadable color PDF journal sheets. You can find the eBook version at this link for Kindle, Kobo, Apple and more ➡️ https://books2read.com/audhd

I have not released a full color PDF version of the workbook. Unfortunately, I’ve had a difficult experience with theft and piracy websites. @audhd @actuallyautistic @Adhdinos @bookstodon #audhd #actuallyautistic #adhd

Chances are most of you know about some big names in #OpenSource and #Privacy, but there’s one FOSS champion you might not know: @Framasoft

They offer a bunch of services that are all open source, free to use, collect no data whatsoever, and that can help you replace some of big tech’s services. And a lot of them don’t even require an account!

So, let’s look at who they are, what they do, and the services you can use from them!

Since both canalside cafes closed, I am forced to retreat into The Fountain for post-stroll refreshments, and read of Hannah Kaner's rather excellent Godkiller, ahead of forthcoming book event https://www.edinburghbookshop.com/events

The Blackthorn.

"Individual thorns may reach several inches in length, being needle-sharp, inflicting severe wounds in the flesh of both man and beast. Such injuries commonly provoke blood poisoning and can prove fatal if not treated with expediency: this is the measure of respect which must be afforded the Tree and its Genius at all times."
- Daniel Schulke, 'Viridarium Umbris'

Before we became the Farm to Fork Capital, Sacramento was the City of Trees. I'm not sure if it's still true, but at one point we had the highest number of trees per capita of any city in the country.

On our suburban lot we have around 14 trees, many young, a few still babies. I've named the four youngest, cuz I'm weird.

There's the young silk tree, Phoenix, growing next to the stump of the old silk tree. He's a pretty weed, and planted himself.

Two valley oaks, the one in the front is Lazarus, because we thought he was dead but he came back. The one in the back is named Buffy, both for her cheerleader top branches and because she used to have a stake.

The desert willow is named Willow, not only for her species but because Willow is Buffy's best friend and they are near each other.

I have also named one potted plant: Rapunzel, for her long vines. She's there to hide packages and does a splendid job.

You've no doubt heard that the Great Library of Alexandria was destroyed in a fire & with it, centuries of knowledge, learning & prose.

But that's not the actual story. The TRUE story of the destruction of the Great #Library of Alexandria has more to teach us than the #myth.

I've never posted any of my husband's telephoto #moon shots on Mastodon before. They're very popular in our shop and on our Facebook page. On Twitter I have to brace myself for the shouts of Photoshop from people who know zero about photography.

This is #StCatherinesOratory on the #IsleofWight a medieval lighthouse. This shot is achieved by working out when the moon will rise here (rarely) and standing a couple of miles away with a #telephotolens. The weather has to be kind. #photography
