"Nobel Laureates from economics and the life sciences explain why basic research remains essential to scientific progress, economic growth and human well-being."

A new setting from Tweaks has been merged into Gnome Settings, which replaces the "Large Text" toggle with a continuous slider: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/1648
For some reason you can only adjust the text size upwards in this change. I feel like being able to adjust the text to become smaller would be very helpful for low resolution screens.
Otherwise, this is great!
The Wuthering Heights people remember is not the book Emily Brontë wrote.
I read it just in time for the release of Emerald Fennell’s adaptation. She has said Wuthering Heights left its greatest impression on her at 14. Here’s my interpretation at 41, feeling world weary & no longer susceptible to the charms of beautiful men who behave badly.
It turns out it isn’t really about love at all, but about inheritance, race & power.
@kristiedegaris hi! I studied WH ~30 years ago - it left an impression :)
The cruelty leapt out at me too. And even teen me thought it an unhealthy kind of love. The race issue too - on the one hand a sympathetic treatment, but draped in literary tropes & cliche…
But I revelled in its surreality & fire after gritting my teeth through the moralising of Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, and (less so) Charlotte’s Jane Eyre. I wonder what the sisters thought of each others books?
Years ago (before Epstein, before the GFC, etc) I used to jokingly talk about my pet conspiracy theory, that the world was ruled by the P7: the Pale Patriarchal Plutocratic Protestant Penis-People of Power.
Turns out I was right.
I didn't want to be right …

🧑⚖️ Incredible testimony by Judge Nicolas Guillou about the weaponization of US sanctions against him & 10 other magistrates.
👉 Cancelled hotel booking, even in France.
👉 Packages not delivered because French site used UPS.
👉 No bank card because Visa/Mastercard dominance.
For years, we've worried mostly about confidentiality of our data, but availability is being increasingly challenged with unhinged sanctions by the US that can one day affect us all for standing for our principes
@amanda check your printer settings? That can be the culprit. Things like margins and the like. I’ve ran into that problem when helping my sister generate PDF:s for sewing patterns.
@frost I might do that but I burnt my time budget
everything is so stupid now
we have the worst losers as evil overlords
instead of villains who secretly invent the universal constructor that could end all poverty and illness, but keep it for themselves
we have violent asswipes who can't control their dicks
Apparently the AI hype is now trying to turn the terminal into another urinal.

Happy #DigitalIndependenceDay ihr Menschen im #Fediverse und eine ganz grosse Bitte:
Versucht doch einfach mal jeden 1. Sonntag einen Menschen aus eurem Umfeld zu ueberzeugen, einen #BigTech Service zu verlassen & dafuer eine Alternative zu waehlen.
Und wenn dieser Mensch dann am uebernaechsten Sonntag das auch macht... hach, wir erobern die Welt im Sturm 🥳
Freue mich ueber jeden Boost. Danke 🙏
@pallenberg Danke für den Post, den les ich mir heute Abend nochmal in Ruhe durch. Die Backup-Kette gefällt mir.
Frage bzgl. NAS: Ich habe ein QNAP NAS von 2018, läuft noch gut, aber sollte man bzgl. China auch Bedenken haben? Oder hast du da ein anderes OS drauf laufen?
Dieser Artikel handelt zwar vom Versagen des US #Journalismus. Trotzdem finden sich hier m.E. auch eine Menge Lehren auch für Deutsche Journalist*Innen und den Umgang mit den Rechten:
"The Media Malpractice That Sent America Tumbling Into Trumpism"
https://newrepublic.com/article/205913/media-malpractice-trumpism-project-2025
Gerade #öffentlichrechtliche Medien sind der Verfassung verpflichtet und müssen der Versuchung widerstehen, gesichert rechtsextremistische Parteien auf diese Weise (ungewollt?) zu legitimisieren.
@jef Don't want anyone whizzing by.
SO many reports like this from people who had nothing to even do with the protest. And that’s not even taking into account all the animals and environmental impacts.

Near the park now and a little girl maybe 5 years old got out of the car. She’s saying “oww” and coughing, an older woman with her rushed her inside
they teargassed a little girl and her grandmother over half a mile away from the facility
