Yeah, but I've found that experience to be... Less than desirable. So I just manually cross-posted it here.
10/10 worth reading! He offers DRM-free versions of the ebook from his website too. SO there's no lockin and you can read them wherever. :)
(This review is a cross-post of one I posted on the furry.engineer mastodon instance. I wanted to cross-post it here so folks here on the Lemmy side of things could see it as well.)
“Lago’s eyes reflected the sickly yellow bursts of sapfire blazing in the distance…” and thus begins the epic second book, Masks of the Miscam, of Joaquin Baldwin’s Noss Saga series. From the start, we are thrown right into the action, where we left off from the end of the first book, Wolf of Withervale. We follow the group as they explore further into the stories and histories that surround the mysterious domes located across the lands of Noss. We see much more of the world too, branching far beyond what was shown in Book I. With this are found new allies and friends, mysterious new civilizations, enemies old and new, and the hint at what is to come in the Noss Saga.
Spoilers
Much like in the first book, the exploration of LGBT themes is heavily present, and even expanded upon. The slowly budding relationship between Lago-Sterjall and Aio-Kulak shows this well, especially with the backdrop of Kulak’s Miscam tribe, the Laatu, not being accepting of same-sex relationships. Nor are they accepting of non-Miscam being in possession of the sacred animal masks, the Silvesh, that Lago and Jiara now hold. We also see an exploration of intersexual “allgender” peoples as well, and how they are handled by the Miscam.
With the exploration of the Laatu Felid tribe of the Miscam, we begin to learn that each tribe has its own way of handling things, and that not all things are acceptable among different Miscam peoples. Upon more expansion and learning of the other Miscam, it becomes apparent that they cannot be universally viewed through rose-tinted glasses. Each tribe has handled things differently, some for the better, some for the worse, some not making it to the present day of the story at all. This depth to the story greatly exceeds what might have been expected from the first book, and greatly increases the richness of the series as a whole, and genuinely makes one desire to learn more about each tribe. In the background of all of this, we see the Red Stag marching his forces ever further towards more Domes and more conquest.
We also learn so much more about the sacred Silvesh masks, and come to learn that Noss itself is far more than just a rocky planet, a point that is going to play a pivotal role in the coming saga. Like the first book, it will strike a strong chord with those that carry Animistic or Shamanistic knowledge, just like its expanding universe of Miscam tribes and their Silvesh animal mask bearers will strike a chord for Therians reading it. It need not even be said that Furries will adore it as well. We see the return of old faces too, such as Banook and Crysta, who all play key roles at pivotal parts of the story. Banook also plays another interesting role in this story, as a background for the conflict Lago-Sterjall feels between his love for the Bear in the far North, and the Laatu prince now with him. This sets up a potential exploration of some polyamorous themes in the story later on as well.

With Book II of the Noss Saga, we see how the story is now going to start unfolding before our heroes. What has started as a simple discovery of a strange mask is rapidly turning into a tale well worthy of being called a saga. Joaquin Baldwin has, like with Book I: Wolf of Withervale, expertly crafted a beautifully profound story, rich with storytelling, world building, character design, and more. Each chapter pulls in the reader, leaving them wanting more with each page they read. Masks of the Miscam is a beautiful story, and sets in motion so much more to come. It leaves us all desiring to what know what lies on the path forwards for our heroes of the Noss Saga, and I truly cannot wait to see what is in store for them!
You can switch it to have a more Android look and feel in the appearance settings. The iOS look of Voyager mirrors what Apollo looked like, quite closely actually. The android appearance has a more unique look and feel of its own.
Yeah, Voyager really is the best interface overall. The PWA is so good, that it's hard to even realize it's not a native app. By far the smoothest PWA I've ever used.
I really wanted Eternity to work out, being that I loved (and still love thanks to Revanced patching) Infinity for Reddit. But it does seem like Eternity was too much to try and convert over.
WebOS really was so hard ahead of its time. A card based interface, gesture-based navigation, unified and always online email and account systems. There were many things WebOS did that we take for granted now, yet they did it no less than 5 years before Android or iOS. Really it was just the Palm Pre's hardware (I had a Palm Pre Plus) that held it back. Some aspects of it were already a bit dated, even in 2010.
Huh, that's the first time I've heard of this. I like IPFS, but I do wish it was just a bit... Smoother to use?
That's what I mean by a lack of a standard for markdown. There needs to be at least a core standards for stuff (like bolding and italics), that is universal across stuff. Then if a program wants to add onto it, that's fine. But just the core parts being standardized would help a lot.
Markdown really should have more widespread support than it does. It's just the right mix between plain text and an office document, I took my college notes with it in fact cause of how fast it was to format stuff. But as far as I know, there's no default program on any of the (major) OS's or Distros for viewing it.
Maybe it's just due to a lack of standards for formatting or something, but regardless I do wish it was used and supported more.
It's great seeing HeliBoard come so far, especially after it seemed like OpenBoard was potentially dead. I'm still a (firewalled on CalyxOS) GBoard user, but HeliBoard is the closest I've found to a viable replacement for it. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what future developments it has in store.
If you run a rolling release distro, or one that tends to ship more updated packages, you may need to check up on this and make sure you're not using the compromised versions of the xz compression library.
Here is a site detailing the current known history of how the malicious exploiter got access to the repository and what he had pushes to it.

> openSUSE maintainers received notification of a supply chain attack against the “xz” compression tool and “liblzma5” library.
>
> Background
>
> Security Researcher Andres Freund reported to Debian that the xz / liblzma library had been backdoored.
>
> This backdoor was introduced in the upstream github xz project with release 5.6.0 in February 2024.
>
> Our rolling release distribution openSUSE Tumbleweed and openSUSE MicroOS included this version between March 7th and March 28th.
>
> SUSE Linux Enterprise and Leap are built in isolation from openSUSE. Code, functionality and characteristics of Tumbleweed are not automatically introduced in SUSE Linux Enterprise and/or Leap. It has been established that the malicious file introduced into Tumbleweed is not present in SUSE Linux Enterprise and/or Leap.
>
> Impact
>
> Current research indicates that the backdoor is active in the SSH Daemon, allowing malicious actors to access systems where SSH is exposed to the internet.
>
> As of March 29th reverse engineering of the backdoor is still ongoing.
>
> Mitigations
>
> openSUSE Maintainers have rolled back the version of xz on Tumbleweed on March 28th and have released a new Tumbleweed snapshot (20240328 or later) that was built from a safe backup.
>
> The reversed version is versioned 5.6.1.revertto5.4 and can be queried with rpm -q liblzma5.
>
> User recommendation
>
> For our openSUSE Tumbleweed users where SSH is exposed to the internet we recommend installing fresh, as it’s unknown if the backdoor has been exploited. Due to the sophisticated nature of the backdoor an on-system detection of a breach is likely not possible. Also rotation of any credentials that could have been fetched from the system is highly recommended. Otherwise, simply update to openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240328 or later and reboot the system.

Neo-Launcher is still being worked on, they are expecting to push version 1.0 later this year to GitHub, but progress has been steady from what I know. You can get the latest beta version of Neo-Launcher from their Telegram to try out. Don't let the "beta" part turn you off, it's basically production ready, I've been using it now as my launcher for well over a year, possibly even 2 at this point.
Coming up on 5 years here for me. Things have progressed a lot in those 5 years too.
Yeah, I remember that. Was it in the client or in an installed game?
And yeah, backups are the most important from the users end to do. Sandboxing and proper permissions is something KDE needs to focus on.

Or at least not alert the user that it has those powers. This would suggest KDE needs some ranked permissions for their themes and add-ons to prevent this from happening willy-nilly.

SomeOrdinaryGamer just gave one of the best 1st-time Linux tutorial videos I've seen in quite some time. The fact he did so with an audience of 3.7 million subscribers is even more incredible.
Great video, and while I'm not necessarily a huge fan of Mint, it's still a great starting out point for newbies. Definitely a good video to pass along to any potential/prospective Linux users so they can learn the ropes of things.
I'm not sure I understand, what's wrong with this commit?

Great list of books that serve as introductions to Traditional Witchcraft.
A great video from a channel that's done some great work exploring the esoteric and occult works and ideas of the past.
Welcome to all who follow the Crooked Path.
Welcome to those who dare to look behind the veils and peer over the hedge.
Welcome to those who follow the old ways and help keep them alive.
Welcome to those who seek the higher natures of reality and being.
Welcome to those who's clairs are found and their mind's open.
Welcome to those who consult the cards, bones, runes, sticks and more for guidance.
Welcome to those who come seeking or sharing knowledge, new or old.
Welcome to all!
Welcome to Furry Mystics!
This is a group designed to allow those furries who follow the multiple different paths of mysticism, esotericism, paganism, and the occult to learn, share, and grow. Whether you are a follower of Pagan ways, Animistics or Shamanistic practices, the different Crooked Paths of Witchcraft, Wiccan practices, traditionally Esoteric and Mystical schools such as Hermeticism or Thelema, and/or other such practices, you are welcome here.
With this, it is my hope that others from different paths of life and experience may come together and share their experiences, while learning from those of others.
Rules
There are some ground rules in place for the community.
-
Don’t be a troll or abusive - This is a place of learning and growing, as such this behavior is not welcome here and will be dealt with accordingly.
-
No spamming - While I know some are eager to share loads of content, please keep the sensibilities of others in mind, as we seek a diverse range of content in this community.
-
No proselytizing - While a desire to share what you have learned is welcomed here, thinking or acting on the idea that your beliefs are superior to others is not. Such behavior is not welcomed here and is unbecoming of what this community is designed for. (This goes doubly so for those outside of who the community is intended for, thinking they have found a willing audience of converts to preach to. Our ears are closed, you are not welcome here.)
-
No advertising (unless approved by the mods) - It is understandable that many following these paths work in making their own tools and goods, which are often sold to others. That is perfectly fine overall, if the purpose of the post is to share what you have created, which also includes a link to other goods you may offer. However, posting for the explicit purpose of advertising, either your goods or another's, is not allowed, unless it is pre-approved by a mod beforehand.
-
Do not break any of the other rules associated with the Pawb.Social instance - This should go without saying, please do not violate any of the other rules in place for Pawb.Social
With that, I hope others are able to learn, share, and grow their knowledge here with others. So mote it be!
You'll never be short of games to play on the Steam Deck as Valve's handheld passes an impressive number of well-optimized titles.

Not necessarily Linux related, but figured this was important information to pass along, given the popularity of these FOSS apps on Android.
