Today I received news about Alex @bborn from his wife, Janet. Alex passed on the 18th of December after suffering another brain haemorrhage on the previous day.

Janet asked me to share his Obituary on Mastodon as Alex really loved putting together the regular Friday music posts.

Two more Russian shadow fleet tankers in the Mediterranean Sea experienced an unusual event.

Crude oil tanker "Progress" (IMO: 9306627) is north of the coast of Algeria and drifting. The vessel is declared “Not under command” while transporting 730,000 bbl of Urals crude toward Suez, Egypt, with its final destination being China.

A second tanker, the Chariot Tide (IMO: 9323376), which is not far from Gibraltar, is also declared "Not under command" as well as drifting.

in reply to Tendar

Both ships are under sanctions. The status indicates a complete loss of navigational control, without specifying the reason.

Yesterday, French forces seized the sanctioned Russian shadow fleet tanker "Grinch" (IMO: 9288851), which was also sailing in this region.

Bell'articolo. Il successo di Wikipedia, (così come quello di GNU/Linux fin dai tempi di Raymond, Torvalds e Stallman) dimostra come la gente comune quando si mette insieme, anche in modo apparentemente disorganizzato, può creare GRANDI COSE. Dimostra inoltre che tossicità e ignoranza dominanti in certi contesti non dipendono dall'intrinseca incapacità dell'uomo di dominare i propri più bassi istinti, ma da come certe altre piattaforme vengono COSCIENTEMENTE progettate.

ottima analisi, concordo in pieno, aggiungo anche che wikipedia ha una sua struttura di moderatori con regole ben rodate per evitare abusi, un po' come su mastodon, regole certe e moderazione affidabile, ma credo che sia proprio il concetto di lavvorare per un ideale che eleva le persone. Invece stare su un social competitivo dove tutti si scannano per qualche like in più riduce l'ambiente a una giungla dove vince il più scaltro o chi la spara più grossa

I was very gung-ho about it for a little bit, but then what always happens happened: it got tough (couldn't quite get the hang of feeling around the lock's guts, didn't know what I was doing wrong) and I got overwhelmed and dropped it.

But I want to have that skill at least somewhat developed.

They are so soft, squishy and best of all no odd smell. Plushies sometimes smell and need to be aired out. Wherever/however these are manufactured, they are scent free which added the extra 5 ⭐️
