@realestninja I love that show. The characters are something. You are right. It is absolutely one of best sitcoms.

Pretty much every serious photographer here tries to capture photos of the #volcano and the #northernlights together. Sometimes, they succeed quite well ;) Photos from Wioleta Gorecka, taken near Reykjanesvíti.

Photos (and alt text!) from a recent visit to Olympic National Park. It did not fail to amaze with towering old growth trees, sunlight beams, and fog-painted ice crystals in the deep valleys. Stunning and unique.

A lush forest of old growth pines, moss, and ferns covering the ground. Sunlight peaks around a tree in the upper left quadrant of the photo, casting a shadow and light beams onto the ferns below. Taken in Olympic National Park.

A monstrous old-growth tree stretches skyward, its trunk is twisted and separated at the bottom into two full-size trees whose many spidering limbs intertwine. All the trunks and limbs are coated in a fuzzy green moss, giving the whole tree a dark green color. Taken in Olympic National Park.

A macro-close shot of ice crystals as they consumed every edge of a fern until the plant was unrecognizable. The clear and white crystals jut out in all directions like rock candy. The cold valley this was taken in was heavy with fog at the time and seemed to be generating the crystals? Taken in Olympic National Park.

This wide angle picture looks skyward from the base of a trail in a towering old-growth pine forest. A small sign indicating “Falls Loop” with an arrowhead pointed left stands at the bottom of the photo. Behind it are a hill of ferns, and farther up the hill stretch tens of massive trees, with blue sky peaking through the branches. Taken in Olympic National Park.

@rl_dane I've been wondering the same. The iPhone I used before I switched to a custom ROM over 2.5 years ago is still in my drawer. Supposed to be my travel phone that still gets updates but I'd hate to go back. Wait and see, I guess. Darn Google! #android #foss #calyxos #grapheneos

If you want a way of assessing the morals of a leader and how they value the lives of others, look to see who employs food tasters to protect against poisoning. When someone like Putin does this, they are telling you that they fully embrace the idea that some lives are disposable.

And so when someone tells me they respect such a person, I know never to trust them, because it shows they accept the idea that some lives are disposable, which means that they are open to supremacy and fascism.

Also me: "I have too many #books on my #TBR ! I need to stop acquiring books!"

Also me: "I'm reading too many books simultaneously..." @bookstodon

I've been spending some time learning more about the history and foundation of GNU/Linux and FOSS, listening to this talk by Richard Stallman this quote popped out: "Society teaches us to be very attached to convenience and people attached to convenience are easily herded."

@ishmaellasting Yes, I am. Until that orange dingleberry is in power, my stand is open to reconsideration.

@ishmaellasting You're not wrong!

I am avoiding some American products and whatnot, but... I dunno... entertainment seems too trivial and art too borderless to add to the list. Maybe I'm wrong.

One of the simplest ways to isolate different applications and personal data on an Android device is to use multiple users. This is a feature which has been widely available on #Android phones since 2014, but goes fairly underutilized by most people.

Dear person behind me waiting to turn right, yelling indistinctly:

- I'm allowed to go straight through
- There's a sign that says so explicitly
- I'm not moving over for you
- It's not in the interests of my safety to do so
- I don't trust people who yell out their windows
- You wouldn't be yelling out your window if it was another car in front of you
- The traffic lights do change
- You can wait the 20 seconds for that to happen
- Pound sand
- Touch grass

@dyckron High time they take their enforcement up a notch at least in the residential neighborhoods, where it's gotten crazy. Have been seeing a lot of rash driving in the north side where I live and it's crazy how impatient people are at the roundabouts and while exiting plazas. The god complex of most pickup drivers regardless of the road conditions and region, is at its peak. #yeg

A dark picture, a bit of ocean across the bottom reflecting a few scattered lights situated on a dark hillside which stretches across the picture. A few leaves from a nearby tree appear in the top left. Most of the picture is a complex thin cloud formation over a half-dark faintly-blue sky.
