Mastodon FeedMy first reaction when I saw the design of the Steam Deck: "yeah, the Sega GameGear was a weird device".
Mastodon FeedAdtech is completely defenseless against fraud. And not from click-bots, but its own middlemen. It's impossible NOT to fund fake news and conspiracy sites through ads, because everyone lies and launders ads through shady exchanges.

Put all the barrels in a shrine + myself on top of a big button, trying to push it down. It was not enough. So I take some things out of my inventory and put them on the button where I'm standing, and that works. They don't count while stowed away.

If you never wrote acceptance tests before, today might be a good day to start: Subplot, a new tool in that space, looks for its first brave users https://blog.liw.fi/posts/2021/07/11/subplot/
The key difference from Cucumber is that Subplot produces an HTML or PDF document which non-programmers can read and understand. You can actually show it to your users, and they might be able to give you feedback.
I tried Subplot earlier in a new small project, and even though the authors claim it's "alpha-quality software", I didn't actually run into any big problems: I just wrote some project-specific bindings (in Python, but Rust and Bash are on the horizon!), and used those bindings to write tests. It's all pretty easy to do. I also liked how it immediately made me think in terms of the interface, not implementation (as unit and integrations tests do).

I wrote an article about the need for low-carbon and #sustainable #computing and the path towards zero-carbon computing.
In short, we need to dramatically limit the growth in emissions from computing, or by 2040 emissions from computing alone will be close to half the emissions level acceptable to keep global warming below 2°C.
And it is possible to do this.
