'Minimalistisch' #FotoVorschlag
Yeah well I think I'll have to throw one of my #PristineWinter Collection items into today's topic! For .. obvious reasons 😉

I took the #photo when I deceded from a mountain and was almost back to the car park when I noticed that I went into thick fog that erased not only everything in front but also all sounds around me.

#nature #nature #snow #landscapephoto #photography #MonochromeMonday

A serene winter scene captured in black and white, showcasing a fence surrounded by freshly fallen snow. The image features a peaceful landscape with a foggy background, creating a sense of tranquility and calmness. The dominant colors are white, with a subtle accent color of dark gray. The overall mood of the picture is tranquil and serene, with a hint of mystery due to the foggy atmosphere. This monochromatic sketch-like image evokes a feeling of solitude and introspection, perfect for those seeking a moment of quiet contemplation in the midst of winter.

It's time for the "land doesn't vote, people do" map, Canada 2025 edition:

Created by Jens von Bergmann (@jensvb.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy / @vb_jens) with more details and a cool animation here: https://doodles.mountainmath.ca/posts/2025-04-28-elections-fun---2025-edition/

A map of Canada's recent election, where each riding is colored according to which party won

A Dorling Cartogram of the same election results. In this case each riding has been converted into a similarly-sized circle and packed into their approximate location on the map, although there is a huge amount of distortion due to Canada's high variation in population density. Basically, you see one blob at the left which is BC and Alberta (mainly blobs around their major population centers) and one bigger blob on the right which is the main Canadian population center along the Windsor to Quebec City corridor.

#tree #oak #Kent #biketooter Just past this big old sprawling oak tree while out on my bike.

A narrow country lane passes beneath the sprawling, low-hanging branches of a large, old oak tree. The tree’s thick limbs arch over the road, creating a green tunnel of leaves. Dense greenery and hedges line both sides of the lane, and a small signpost is visible on the right side of the road. The scene is lush and tranquil, with dappled sunlight filtering through the foliage.

👋 Say hello to floccus v5.5.x, which is being rolled out at the moment. It comes with a new fail-safe mechanism to prevent duplication of excessive amounts of bookmarks, which has happened in the past in rare cases. Floccus logs are now stored in IndexedDB so we have more space for them and can store logs from more than one sync run. And there's also a bunch of performance and correctness fixes in the bag for you to enjoy, including a long awaited fix for tab sync! 📚 Happy Bookmarking 🌟

@thisismyglasgow That is a gorgeous bridge.

AdventureTense boosted:

Part of the cast iron latticework Victorian bridge which carries Benalder Street in Glasgow across the River Kelvin, and above the former Partick Central Railway Station, whose platforms still lie beneath it (just of of shot to the right of this photo). I'll feature the remains of the station itself in my next post.

Color photo of a comet with a long tail pointing up and to the left. It's a late evening sky with a orange-red glow of the sunset on the horizon. The comet points down at a far distant hill. A tall multi-arm saguaro cactus is in the left foreground. A second saguaro can be seen in the distance on the right. The comet is framed between the two cacti.

Finally had time to watch Pewdiepie's "I installed Linux" video.

Don't know what I was expecting... but *wasn't* expecting a great list of reasons why, in 2025, you should stop using Windows and install Linux—he even mentions how to use systemd-analyze!
