Later in the day, I've gotten around to sharing a #TipOfDay and it has been a while. I used to do this years ago and it was time to do it again. Got tired of continuing to search online for measurement conversation and lately it has been almost once a day. Remembered to go to an "online source" and do screenshots of the products available. Now they are pretty hand to grab from my phone, especially since the quality on the phone is great so I can zoom to view larger. To show what they look like I just copied a set of 11 of them to share as a demo. Voilá

Franco Berardi et la quantification du monde : une critique du sémiocapitalisme

Franco #Berardi (#Bifo) analyse comment, sous le #sémiocapitalisme, la #gestionAlgorithmique et la #conversion des #activitésHumaines en #donnéesMesurables reflètent une #transformationProfonde du #capitalisme où l’#esprit, le #langage et la #créativité deviennent des sources directes de #profit. Une lecture indispensable pour comprendre la #numérisationDuMonde et l’#aliénationContemporaine.

A call for an EU ban on anti-LGBTQ 'conversion' gets 1 million signatures.

More than one million Europeans have called on the EU to ban "conversion"' practices targeting LGBTQ people, the results of a European Citizens' Initiative petition showed Friday.

Hey you! Yeah, you! You don't like #conversiontherapy? Cool. You have the chance to vote for a ban in #europe. Consider signing this petition https://eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/screen/home.

Currently listening to "ZauberwalD.mod" by slash/atd/rpsg from the revision Demoscene party 2025 and had the compulsion on working on/optimizing my Amiga music file (mod, ahx, prt, tfmx fc14... etc) -> UADE -> FLAC -> NAS shell script...

Not really happy with kdialog/dbus interface on FreeBSD, maybe I should look into other script UI dialogs. Anything other than yad or zenity , which could be used instead? Need a yes/no box and a progressbar. Any hint into the right direction more than welcome.

Raider gunship.

Heavily modified Dark Eldar Raider for my personal army/collection.
The aim was to turn this into more of an attack helicopter gunship-like craft.

Additions include:
Adding an old-school Raider front end to a new body.
A more "science-y" power supply.
Wings for additional weapons.
and a crew of a goblin, Tyranid ripper and Space Wolf marine.

Joint statement from Scottish LGBTQIA+ organisations on the Scottish Government’s announcement re ending conversion practices.

"We are incredibly disappointed to see that the Scottish Government will not progress a bill to end conversion practices within this parliament before the Scottish Parliament election next year."

Je viens d'écrire une petite bibliothèque python qui reconnait dans une chaîne de caractères écrite en langue naturelle des dates, heures, et autres créneaux temporels, dans l'idée de l'intégrer à @pommesdelune

Je n'ai implémenté que le français, et avec pour l'instant une variété de formes pas infinies, mais tout retour m'intéresse

OK, France and Ireland have more than stepped up for this. Let's have a bit of action from the rest of the EU, shall we?
Unless of course you really want your children tortured by religious fanatics and far-right bigots.

Porting a Roblox Game to Steam (Native Linux versions included): the Case of “Find the Cats”: https://boilingsteam.com/porting-roblox-game-to-steam-find-the-cats/ #linux #linuxgaming #release #findthecats #steam #roblox #conversion #port #gamedev (2022)

Yesterday I made progress combining 2 examples in C on an ESP32 using ESP idf to create a liquid temperature monitor with a small 1306 oled.

Then the frustration started, I wanted to convert a float to a text portion to display it.
Nah error error ….

I save you the frustration but the links I found to help me out did lead other or similar errors.
Probably due to my lack of C knowledge but also curious why such a simple conversion is not simply part of the language or a library

Anyone can share some directions I could use? Apart from learning C of course

The Ecclesiological Investigations Unit of the AAR invites papers on:

1) Ecclesiologies of Freedom. How does churchly existence intersect with human #Freedom?

2) The #Ecclesiology of Project 2025 and similar versions worldwide. #Project2025

3) #Deconversion or #Conversion to "None". What makes people "deconvert" or reject religious institutional affiliation?
