in reply to Dave Dawkins (D. Harrigon)

here in Brazil we have a famous music, by a punk band, with the lyrics, in english:
"Santa Claus, the old coot
Rejects the poor
I want to kill him!
That capitalist pig
Gives gifts to the rich
And spits on the poor
Gives gifts to the rich
And spits on the poor [...]"

* "old coot" translates to "velho batuta", that is similar to "son of a bitch" here (originally, the term was "filho da puta", literally it...)

this punk song is some decades old (I think it's from the 80's or 90's), but this other is very new (and not punk): youtube.com/watch?v=oZvPpQuRbM…

Here is my new GNU/Linux distribution guide about Debian KDE 12, the right GNU/Linux distribution for professional digital painting in 2024! Also about three major problems with GNU/Linux distros that will drive away all professional artists, IMO, and how I got kicked out of the Fedora KDE ecosystem with F40, which imposed Plasma6 and Wayland. I hope it helps other artists here!

Thank you!
For my monitors, they are two Philips 245E (24 inch, quad HD), I love their frameless design and the contrast of the IPS. Their colorspace is pretty limited (almost a sRGB), but it's true they are very robust. They are from 2019 I think, and before that, I had two Philips too, same design, but 21inch and 1080p. I changed them for a resolution upgrade (they were still working) That's probably why it looks like on photos more than 10 years ago I still had the same screens. ☺️

💾 Hoje é segunda-feira, o dia em que falamos de backup na tag #SegundaCópia.

Para este 5º fascículo da série, lembro que hoje é a ~Cyber Monday, uma data de consumo de tecnologia.

Se você participa dessas coisas, que tal aproveitar para incrementar sua estratégia de cópias de segurança? Considere comprar um HD, SSD ou pen drive novo para usar apenas para backup – ou para transferir dados de outro dispositivo que você já tenha, que aí possa passar a ser usado só como backup.

🐱 Cientistas resolvem mistério genético: Por que alguns gatos são laranja?
Pesquisadores descobriram finalmente o gene responsável pela pelagem laranja em gatos! Duas equipes independentes identificaram uma mutação no gene Arhgap36, localizado no cromossomo X.

in reply to Mauricio Castro

Curiosidade: A maioria dos gatos laranja são machos, e quase todas as gatas calico e escaminha são fêmeas. Isso acontece devido a um mecanismo genético complexo de inativação do cromossomo X.
A mutação aumenta a produção de RNA do Arhgap36, ativando uma via molecular que faz as células produzirem pigmento de pelagem vermelho-claro.
in reply to Mauricio Castro

O mais interessante: os gatos com essa mutação são completamente saudáveis! A mutação só afeta a função do gene nas células de pigmentação.
Especialistas estão animados: esta descoberta não só explica a genética das cores felinas, mas revela um novo caminho molecular para pigmentação nunca visto em animais.
🔬 Ciência é incrível: até em nossos gatos de estimação há mistérios para desvendar! 🐈‍⬛🧬 #Genetica #Ciencia #Gatos
in reply to Mauricio Castro

temos uma gatinha laranja, a Teodora que inclusive foi para uma cidade aqui perto fazer uma cirurgia pra retirada de tumores. Ela é fruto de um resgaste onde deixaram ela e os irmãozinhos abandonados numa caixa e, segundo o veterinário, os tumores são resultado de um veneno que deram pra eles. Tanto que os outros gatos estão com uma amiga e todos tem tumores.

A mais empolgada foi de um servidor justamente do Judiciário. O cara não conseguia passar meia hora sem falar das imensas vantagens de colocar tudo na nuvem. Pelo que pude inferir, é um cara com algum cargo de gestão e estava mais do que satisfeito com o governo sendo mero consumidor de produtos de software.

I enjoy Bluesky. I like Mastodon too, but for different reasons. One thing that Bluesky excels at is the user experience. It's just more intuitive, easier to find people to follow / connect with others, and yes, is similar to "old Twitter" (many ppl have fond memories of that).

Most importantly, it's not run by Trump's best buddy, Elon. That guy is insufferable and is the reason for the current culture there.

in reply to Quarta Capa

Pro #quartacapa de livros que marcaram a minha infância, eu poderia citar vários da coleção Vaga-lume (e deles, eu me lembro que o primeiro que eu li foi "O Cachorrinho Samba"), que era um padrão adotado na escola estadual onde eu estudava.

Mas um livro que me deixou muito impressionado foi "Alice no País das Maravilhas" de Lewis Carroll. Eu estava na terceira ou quarta série (hoje quarto ou quinto ano) e a biblioteca da minha escola (pública, estadual) era relativamente bem servida de livros, mesmo sendo pequena. Eu estava de férias e fui até lá, pedindo uma indicação. A bibliotecária me passou esse e eu o devorei (detalhe, tinha que ler na biblioteca, não podia emprestar). Fiquei fascinado com a história.

@aracnus eu amava a biblioteca da minha escola, também pública e estadual, também pequena e bem servida. Acho que ter uma bibliotecária atenciosa fazia muita diferença!

@A bruxa quase boa do Agreste com certeza! Se tivéssemos um programa de bibliotecas de escolas abertas ao público, com pessoal bem treinado no atendimento, talvez isso ajudasse a difundir mais a leitura, em tempos de telas e apps...

The problem with a lot of ocean "exploitation" is that it's like mining a human for calcium. Yes, a human body contains ~1kg of calcium, and you could take it out, but it's already *doing* quite a lot of useful things, and the human has far more potential to help you if you leave the calcium alone.
