Episode 5: The Problem With Choices

Previous Episode/ Schedule / Next Episode

Discussion question for the day:

1. Have you ever prepared a dessert to woo a crush or partner?

Quote of the day: "To be honest, it really bugs me when I can't return a favor to someone," Yuu

Commenters shout-outs:

u/ZaphodBeebblebrox's post on butterflies was nice and in particular I really liked how they noticed both Touko and Yuu have wings in Maki's mind, but Yuu's are just mostly hidden.

u/baekhap_inma's post on the implications of the question a passing student made of Touko and Sayaka wondering who is the husband of the couple.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage and his so-called ‘DOGE’ (Department of Government Efficiency) leader Zia Yusuf hailed the work of Reform’s dozen councils in a press conference on Monday.

However, their praise excluded the many Reform councillors who have already had to stand down, or who face investigations for alleged misconduct, since May’s local elections.

At least 15 Reform councillors have been suspended, expelled, or have quit since being elected earlier this year, with at least four facing criminal investigations, Byline Times can report.

Some quit within days of being elected, whilst others were caught sharing Hitler memes, spouting racist conspiracy theories, or are now the subject of police probes or prosecutions.

Artists&Clients, a website for connecting artists with gigs, is down after a group called LunaLock threatened to feed their data to AI datasets.

Watch him walk on stand your ground laws.

I know Intel is dipping its toe into the GPU market, but let's be real, AMD and nVidia are the only options and have been for the last 20+ years. The manufacturers/assemblers of the complete graphics cards are varied and widespread, but the core tech comes from two companies only.

Why is this the case? Or am I mistaken and am just brainwashed by marketing, and there are in fact other viable options for GPUs?

Cheers!

TIL about Android Translation Layer (ATL), a way to port Android apps to Linux Mobile

I was searching for YouTube clients on my Plasma Bigscreen Linux TV Box, and found NewPipe, a popular Android YouTube frontend. Turns out this tool is how they moved it over.

Great solution alongside projects like Waydroid, as you can post individual apps to Flathub or other Linux storefronts, rather than needing to install a whole ROM to get your Android apps to appear in your Linux app tray.

My takeaway from playing Borderlands 4 was that it could have been ANY big studio shooter release of the last 5 years. If I couldn't see what game it was and you asked me what it was, I would have guessed Destiny 2 in some shape or form. There was just nothing about it that was interesting or fun. It felt like it had been polished to absolute death.

But Swapmeat was great. All the parts were there for it to be a ton of fun. It felt like all the stupid fun parts of BL2 with a body mod mechanism to let you get really weird with it.

I'm not a game reviewer type, but after being so disappointed by BG4, I was really excited after playing Swapmeat. They were pretty close to each other on the show floor at PAX and the vibes were night and day.

Graham Greene, a trailblazing Canadian First Nations actor who opened doors for Indigenous actors in Hollywood, died September 1 in a Toronto hospital after a long illness. The Oscar nominee from Dances with Wolves was 73.

“He was a great man of morals, ethics and character and will be eternally missed,” Greene’s agent Michael Greene (no relation) said in a statement to Deadline. “You are finally free. Susan Smith is meeting you at the gates of heaven,” he added, referencing the actor’s longtime agent, who died in 2013.

Greene’s big breakthrough came several years later when Kevin Costner cast him as Kicking Bird (Ziŋtká Nagwáka), one the main characters in his 1990 Western Dances with Wolves. The film landed 12 Academy Award nominations — including one for Greene as Best Supporting Actor — and won seven, including Best Picture.

Hi all!

I've posted a couple times in the past about Pinepods. The ultimate self-hosted podcast server that syncs times between devices, archives, plays, and manages your podcasts.

I've just finished up the very first builds of the official Pinepods mobile apps for both Android and iOS and they are now in testing phases for both the Google Play Store and the App Store respectively. However, I'm at a small stop gap, and I need help from the selfhosted community. I need some people willing to sign up for the testing program and download the app in order to get them posted officially to the store fronts. You don't even really have to use it (though I would really appreciate it if you gave it a try as Pinepods has really made strides in becoming the best it can be as one of the most feature rich Podcast platforms around) I just need people to join the programs and install the apps in order to get on the app stores. Oh and yes, before you ask, Android Auto and CarPlay support are coming in the next update. Not here yet, but very soon.

I've done quite a bit of work to make sign ups for the beta program as easy as possible, you can simply do it here. Simply choose your platform of choice and you'll get an email with a link.

And as an aside, Pinepods 0.8.0 is days away from fully releasing and has had it's api FULLY rebuilt in rust. The entire app is now 100% rust and is blazingly fast because of it. If you do want to test out Pinepods, I would highly recommend pulling down the :nightly docker tag rather than latest for the time being. It's really close to bug free at this point.

I could say more about Pinepods itself but I'll let the site speak for itself, it got an overhaul in preparation for 0.8.0 and can really sell it. I've even just rolled out an official TUI based client called Firewood. I'm really trying to make the best self-hosted Podcast platform that does it all.
