So true! And her last book was published in 2006, so somewhat recent (or maybe I’m just showing my age lol).
I also think alot about how different her body of work would be if she had been able to support herself with her writing and didn’t need to spend her time at other jobs.
Still so grateful we have the stories she was able to give us before passing.
Octavia butler is an amazing writer. Her work was so underappriciated for so long. I’m glad more people are reading her writings. My personal fav is the liliths brood series.
She definetly had some slrpnk energy in alot of her writing, and even though she deals with heavy topics, the books manage to stay optimistic.
The photon front-end looks clean and runs well on both my mobile and desktop. I do agree with another commenter (coolkat, I think) that’s it’s not as cute and unique as the current front end, but maybe that’s possible to change – you did mention that it can have a custom color scheme. Or maybe it’s good to have it clean and polished, I guess it’s just personal preference.
I appriciate all the work getting done & hope the vegans find this instance to be welcoming and respectful :)
Oh and if replacing ssds starts to get expensive because of poor optimization, I would be down to donate to the cause. Hopefully a way to fix that issue comes along somewhat soon.
Was there a mural on the other side as well?
Absolutly fantastic explination of how to conceptualize the complexities of geometry. Such an interesting area of mathematics
Ooooo I love that they kept it black and white & are being true to ito’s style!!! It’s hard animate his art & it looks like this adaptation is going to do the source material justice :D so exciting
That’s a fair critique. Specific games ive been playing & would have bases to share would be grounded, terraria, subnautica, stardew valley, the long dark, and maybe some others. I want to try and keep it from being all one game to both give it a wider appeal & to encourage it to be more about the creativity of bases rather than just an ad for a specific game.
I also do think it would be fun to include irl ‘bases’, like the tree stumps that serve as a roly poly base in my back yard, or my car when I convert it to my travel base, or a fun backpacking set up (im going to isle royale this fall, im sure well have some cute ‘bases’). Maybe that’s kind of overly broad? I think it could be fun if moderated correctly.
I’ll give it some time & see if there’s any more feedback on if it’s wanted or not. Or if anyone knows of exisiting communities that fit what im looking for. Maybe I’ll post in the new months meta post since that tends to get more eyes at the start of the month.
Libredirect is great, just added it to firefox! I can finally watch all those tiktok links people send me lol
& for anyone else thinking of trying it, if a site won’t load change your default proxy instance :)
Such a good one, I love junji’s style of body horror. So eerie & unnerving.
Hi! I want to make a base building community. It would be for pictures of game bases (or irl bases if people set up a cool campsite or something that qualifies as a base). It’s my favorite type of game & something I don’t currently see on lemmy. If it does already exist, let me know and I’ll happily join the already existing community :)
Otherwise, could I create that community on this instance? I wasn’t sure if it would fit with the slrpnk theme, but I think it kind of could because base building games tend to center around self sufficiency, survival, and exploration.
I plan on posting my own bases from games & have quite a few screenshots to try and populate the community to start with. Let me know if it would be okay :)

Congrats!! Love the make up, subtle and super cute :)
Whoa it’s wild that it was commissioned by a company as a way to improve staff morale after a series of mergers and acquisitions. Imagine being worried about your job in an era when job hopping was not common, & you get a smiley face pin from management.
That tech looks super cool & might be worth waiting for, but from what I’ve been reading it is still being perfected and will likely see big improvements fairly quickly after release.
Heres a clip from this article I think is relevent: Teh said the new drives have double the capacity of storage systems using conventional 16TB perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) drives, and this can be doubled again over the next four years. The company is projecting 4TB platters in the next couple of years, with 5TB coming shortly thereafter, and 6TB out beyond the current roadmap.
So there’s a chance you wait for those drives, pay a little extra cuz the tech is new, then have something twice as good get released a year or two later.
It’s definetly a tricky situation & ultimately up to you and what you want. Do you need that extra storage asap, or is it more of a eventually kind thing? Does new tech have its own intrinsic value to you, or is it more about price per terabyte?
Good luck with your decision! I know how hard these kind of choices can be. You never know what the market will look like after you finally make that big purchase.
There are a number of storage technologies in the works right now. However, I think they will result in a new type of memory device rather than HDDs getting cheaper. Kind of like how a stack of CDs isn’t cheaper now than it was in 2005, rather there are new types of storage that offer more memory and longer life spans.
So if you are definetly going HDD, prices are probably not going to get that much cheaper, if any cheaper at all.
I’d say keep an eye out for sales & that will probably make a bigger difference than waiting a set amount of time.
I would think so. Unless there’s another bald man with musk beef lol
I’m glad you found one that works :) ive heard lots of good things about voyager as a web app.
Also: I didn’t know ios firefox was different than android firefox. Super interesting
Will you link the thread? Sounds interesting
