Hi! I'm back from RustNL! Taking it light today (definitely still exhausted) but I'm feeling ready for another . Let's take a look at the PRs that our community has made and reviewed for us this week :) There was a request to check the website repo, so let's start there! 9 PRs are ready, so that's a great call: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy-website/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+label%3AS-Ready-For-Final-Review

@linux Sharing a 'small' inconvenience I had to fix with (I suspect is the same) - I couldn't launch snaps (spotify, bitwarden) after update - error was: cannot determine seccomp compiler version in generateSystemKey fork/exec /usr/lib/snapd/snap-seccomp: no such file or directory

The fix (I first tried re-installing, didn't work) was to:
a. locate snap-seccomp - was in /usr/libexec/snapd
b. symlink: ln -s /usr/libexec/snapd /usr/lib/snapd

But snap is cringe

This is why I prefer using Distrobox on my personal computer. No package for Signal-Desktop? No problem, run it through a Debian container using Distrobox.

The Northern Lights were visible in the night sky much further south than they normally are, due to a massive solar storm.

A bit more about the colors of the Aurora Borealis: https://www.pbs.org/video/what-causes-the-northern-lights-55f4yi/

@jessamyn @gbhnews Over at the Statehouse I found it was a bit of a middle ground. I could very clearly see what my phone was picking up, including the colors, but it was far fainter than what came through on the long exposure with my phone. Here’s the photo I took at around 10:40 PM during a break in the clouds.

A new feature I absolutely love in @neochat is that the message delegates now offer a full previews of the file you send. Here is for example a markdown file with Markdown syntax highlighting! The same works with train tickets or any other types of tickets that KDE Itinerary can consume.

FOSS - ensuring even new hardware stays in use when vendor-support eventually ends!

Whether or not you install GNU/Linux on it today, your new will eventually lose support. Thanks to the impressive work of project (@AsahiLinux), it will not need to end up in the landfill once it does.

and now for the poll of the day

you're at the library 📚

@gbhnews I answered fiction, which I now realize later was wrong.

I read much more fiction than non-fiction in general. But looking back, I really only visited libraries when I had serious research to do. That means hunting non-fiction material.

🌞 Good morning ! This is GBH bringing you the world from . It's 49F at Logan Airport and visibility is 10mi.

Cambridge is moving towards eliminating single-family zoning as the state faces an ongoing housing crisis.

Overnight, police dismantled a pro-Palestine protest encampment at MIT, arresting 10.

More than 100,000 have fled Rafah in southern Gaza as fighting approached the outskirts of the city.

gbhnews OP ,
@gbhnews@mastodon.social avatar

@serenebabe We are a local newsroom in Boston, so what I share about international news typically comes from Associated Press.

If I talked to someone there, what do you think should replace "fighting" in this headline?

serenebabe ,
@serenebabe@mastodon.social avatar

@gbhnews hi! that makes sense. I'm not an expert, of course, but here's how I'd rewrite it: "1.3 million people trapped as Israel bombs Rafah" because that's the bigger news. Focusing on "Palestinian militants" is misleading, as if this a battle between equals rather than the domination of one over the other.

thanks so much for the reply! your presence here really does rule!
