@Cognessence@social.linux.pizzaThough this was a really languid, friendlier theme in slow motion, my brain was kind of feeling it. It was interrupted. ☺️

@Quazatron@social.linux.pizzaToday I'm paying with Risc OS on an old Raspberry Pi.
I wish modern desktops had paper like textured windows, a common title bar theme, and proper scroll bars.
Everything's so plain and bland nowadays.

@knurd42@social.linux.pizzaThings I somewhat dislike about #Fedora Linux:
Its inconsistent approach to shipping new major versions upstream released as regular updates.
New major versions of kernel, firefox, thunderbird, and kde are regularly shipped as regular updates, mesa often as well (except when it's not 🙄) – gnome, libreoffice and a few other things otoh are never updated.

@cdarwin@c.imA citizen of Rome in 117 AD,
under Emperor Trajan,
would've found it difficult to imagine the empire not existing.
The roads, the aqueducts, the legal system, the trade networks stretching from Britain to Mesopotamia:
all of it seemed to be a near-fact of nature, like gravity
Edward Gibbon gave us six volumes explaining how that feeling turned out to be wrong,
and even he couldn't fully untangle all the causes.
But the overarching theme mig…

The template is messy but it works!

@mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsSo, remember how all the cool kids dumped #Sphinx and went for the shiny #MkDocs thing? And then used the shiny Material for MkDocs theme?
Well, apparently MkDocs 1.x is dead, and MkDocs 2.0 is coming with no support for plugins, incompatible theming system, closed contribution model and unclear licensing.
So which hype train are the cool kids jumping to these days?

@pre@boing.worldHalf way through the Hoopla Improv Story narrative course and we actually attempt a couple of 20 minute stories.
One pretty confused one about a voyage to find unicorns which ended up about time-travellers due to mixups.
And one about the child of a missing astronaut seeking his father by joining a space mission.
Edits are what made the main difference here. Shouting "Cut to the jail" left half the players thinking they were in a flashback and the other half thinking they were in the consequences of the previous scene. Thus one ending up being a time-traveler.
A more coherent edit might have been "Flashback to jail", and these more coherent edits are key to what made the second story less chaotic and more whole. "Cut to the training test" or "Flashback to school where a teacher is impressed with the protagonist"
I like a game with a narrator. The narrator can give the story structure and theme and act as a director of the action. But we can do that without a narrator if the edits are well thought out and shouted clearly enough to keep the actors on the same track.
Mind you, the chaos is the funny bit usually.
