Huh, that's disturbing. It's not looking like my GNU Social instance is picking up new posts from people. -

It's over! $864k raised for charity after all was said and done! An incredible week of thrills, chills, generosity, ham, and a goose! Always a great time watching the Desert Bus crew. #DB2019 -

Hrm. I now see GNU Social doesn't properly break apart tag names on linebreaks or whitespace. Grr. #DB2019 -

I have been mailed what appears to be a physical Amazon.com holiday shopping catalog.
Just to be perfectly clear here: PHYSICAL Amazon.com catalog.
PHYSICAL. Each item has an Amazon product ID next to it and everything.
WHAT YEAR IS IT. -

The bus has earned over $512k (USD) as of this moment, it's gone for nearly 112 hours out of 155, and Zeta Shift is about to begin anew. Everybody get on the bus! #DB2019

So the Krita team are understandably more than a bit miffed...

Next week (November 4), DoM strips will resume, at least into late December! Sorry for the wait!
I'd better get working to make sure I get out of the chapter not too long afterward...

Idea: Gordon Ramsey shows up to renovate a restaurant, much to the confusion of the owners, as it's actually an electronics store.
No, wait, that's probably an SNL sketch already. Never mind. -

20 DoM comics are now waiting to go. Once I'm out of this story chunk, they'll start going up. That won't end the chapter, mind, but it'll still be a couple more chunks of story. -

This will only make sense to pinball fans, but:
So I'm messing with Zen Pinball's Williams collection on my phone. One of the things it does is pop up scores on anything you do that can score points on the table. Because this means ANYTHING, from 10-point slingshots to each pop bumper hit, there's an option to set a minimum threshold point value before it displays. However, that setting is an absolute value and global to all tables, and one of the tables they include is Attack From Mars... -

Uh oh! A popular website Changed A Thing™! Quick, everyone yell angrily about it! ANGRILY, mind you! It's our only hope to stop A Thing from Changing!
There. That should cover most situations. -

Just where DID Negativland sample the main conversation in the track "Time Zones" from, anyway? I never really figured that out, and The Google isn't helping. -

Quick tip to anyone who suddenly discovered Krita and apparently can't appreciate things without making it antagonistic: Krita is NOT a "replacement" for GIMP. GIMP is better geared towards photo editing, Krita is for digital painting. Yes, each CAN do the other's job to some extent, but they were designed for different use cases. -

I swear, with the number of background characters I've had to invent for this chapter of the comic, I'm starting to think using the Papa Louie cast as a rough baseline wouldn't have been such a bad idea after all. -

I find it fascinating that Microsoft says they want to get exFAT support directly in the Linux kernel (which, presumably, implies GPL'ing it). If it works out, that would finally give Linux a native modern removable-media filesystem. By "native" I mean not using FUSE, by "modern" I mean not FAT32, by "removable-media filesystem" I mean one that doesn't carry the baggage of the originating system's permissions model with it like the ext family does, and UDF has too many limitations to really count. That required a lot of clarification, I just realized.
I always wondered why none of the Linux devs made such a filesystem a priority, then I remembered that Linux was originally built for environments where the system has easy network file storage access and removable media is a security risk, and by the time it reached today everyone just assumes you have cloud storage and removable media is considered passé and quaint.
