Those close to Los Angeles Dodgers majority owner Mark Walter insist the team is not for sale,

Periodic reminder for people interested in #HomeAssistant
There is a @… bot that replaces the old gup.pe home assistant bot.
Mention it in your homeassisitant posts and it will boost them. Follow it to see all the #homeasistant posts it boosts that may not normally get federated to your instance.
There’s also @… - follow that and it will automatically boost everything you post with #homeassistant without you having to remember to mention the bot.
For those who don’t know, these bots exist because when you look for a a hashtag, your server only checks the posts that have been federated to it.
In order for a message to be federated to your server, the author (or one of the people boosting it) have to be followed by someone on your server. If no one touching the message is being followed, it’ll never get federated to your server and you won’t see it.
Hashtags are great for finding messages, but only messages that were federated to your server. They don’t help message propagation, but these bots will.

Would any of y'all be interested in an archival curation tool that can handle merging large collections of files?
I'm in the middle of designing something — git is inspiration but the wrong tool for this job — but that allows reintegrating diverged collections of materials, and propagating enough information that if you were to merge two folders, you'd get a relevant set of questions about the contents to successfully and meaningfully merge them.

Shake with lots of ice in cocktail shaker and strain into glass. If you're not strictly no-alcohol, add a dash of angostura bitters before shaking.

I was not really interested in the new Onimusha game, but the positive buzz made me download it on Switch 2. It is pretty sweet. Atmospheric, looks great on Switch 2 (RE Engine) and the gameplay was not as Soulsy as I feared. Just fun Capcom-style action - at least on the lower difficulty. Now I have to see how well it runs on my BC-250 and PS5 to decide where I want to play the full game.
"The thing that concerns me most is violence, the use of force and the threat or the implementation of damage to enforce an opinion. As I said at the beginning, I'm a scientist. I relish facts. I'm interested in ideas. I'm curious about relationships. Violence is just the opposite of that. Violence is the way to gain power without ideas, and it reduces your resources, it stifles dissent and experimentation which we desperately need." — Dennis Meadows (Club Of Rome, Limits Of Growth)
