Upgraded the Glitch instance here so I can quoth and quoot now like this.
Upgraded the GotoSocial instances running the project accounts too, and yet still can't quote-boost them because GotoSocial I guess doesn't have the permissions stuff yet.
Nice to see it all evolving though. We'll get there one day. Without anyone owning it all.

Good news: @… 43 will be released next Tuesday, October 28th!

Fedora 43 is coming next week following Go/No-Go meeting
Fedora 43 will now arrive next week following a Go/No-Go meeting. If you've been stranded on Windows 10, Fedora could be a good option to move to.

Trump’s White House budget chief, Russ Vought,
just ominously posted on X that
“reductions in force”
(laying off federal workers)
have begun, as the government shutdown enters its 10th day.
He offered no further details, but we’ll bring you more as soon as we get it.

I can imagine a future where personal passenger vehicles are banned from city streets and autonomous vehicles of different sizes move us to our destinations. They, of course, should be integrated with walking, cycling, and mass transit. There's gotta be a cost benefit to eliminating tired, aggressive, or inattentive drivers from the road, and cities should fund all larger vehicles (6 passengers? ) to keep corporations from owning the streets.

As you might have imagined, last night during the #WorldSeries was a good night for #DoorDashing
There were few lulls.
4:23PM - 10:09PM
18 DD = $120.50
5 UE = $49.73
But it was also a weird night because two things happened that have never before:
1) I had to return a whole UE order because it contained alcohol, the customer had no valid ID, and the Uber app refused to complete it any other way. So be forewarned! (I was shocked that I still got full pay!?)
2) I came *this* close to running out of charge in the EV! It is only the second time since owning the car that it has gone under 5%! The little 🐢 icon came on and everything! It is not usually a problem but with commuting to work 170km (starting with 80% charge) cooler weather, rain, using the defog constantly for 5.5 hours while dashing and an extra long night (I usually only go to 9PM) I pushed it a little too far! 😂 I did 30kph for the last 3km from the last delivery to home base. 😂 🪫 I should have realized the night before and charged to 90 or 100%.

Improving Air Shower Simulations by Tuning Pythia 8/Angantyr with Accelerator Data
We present a combined analysis of the Pythia 8 event generator using accelerator data and evaluate its impact on air shower observables. Reliable simulations with event generators are essential for particle physics analyses, achievable through advanced tuning to experimental data. Pythia 8 has emerged as a promising high-energy interaction model for cosmic ray air shower simulations, offering well-documented parameter settings and a user-friendly interface to enable automatic tuning efforts.

I’ve had scconsult.com for 30 years. I got it for the cost of writing a coherent rationale for needing it and didn’t pay a penny until they exploded the InterNIC function and sold off its duties. https://social.wildeboer.net/@jwildeboer/115111780231708553
