Remember: if you get Wikipedia "pls give us money" begging, give to the Internet Archive instead.
The internet archive is perpetually underfunded, whereas Wikipedia has enough cash on hand to continue operating at twice its capacity for about 3 decades.
Editors strongly opposed the wording of the recent beg banner:

The #kubernetes registry is moving!
Images for control plane components, as well as for the "pause" container (used by the "pod sandbox" for every pod) are moving from k8s.gcr.io to registry.k8s.io.
This will give you faster image pull speeds (yay!) *but* might break some scenarios; e.g. if you have some IP address filtering in place for the registry.

Authors: Adolfo García Veytia (Chainguard), Bob Killen (Google) Starting with Kubernetes 1.25, our container image registry has changed from k8s.gcr.io to registry.k8s.io. This new registry spreads the load across multiple Cloud Providers & Regions, functioning as a sort of content delivery network (CDN) for Kubernetes container images. This change reduces the project’s reliance on a single entity and provides a faster download experience for a large number of users. TL;DR: What you need to know about this change Container images for Kubernetes releases from 1.
So #Linux gamers, do you even care about whether a game lists "Linux support" in general terms anymore?
Or do you just scroll down on Steam, find the #SteamDeck green check, and that tells you if it works on Proton, and- well there you go that's all you need, whether you're gonna game on the Deck specifically or not
Today I could test the famous #Analogue Pocket retro console, which emulates the #Gameboy and Gameboy Advance with a #FPGA. It is known for its accuracy and the ability of its gorgeous display to render pictures very close to the original consoles.
Let see if its reputation is well deserved. A thread in two posts.
First the Gameboys. In black and white, the fidelity is beyong expectations! Less so against the color display unfortunately.
Quick little tip: You don't need to use link shorteners on Mastodon.
All links on Mastodon count for 23 characters towards your limit, no matter how many characters they really are.
However, you need to include https:// at the beginning of links to make them clickable.
After many years of wearing ~$200 DTC glasses, I thought, "I'm a real adult now! I should support a local business."
So I went to the neighborhood optical shop and the very German optician measured my DTC glasses, and said, very evenly, "These are not good quality."
Okay sure, I thought. So I gamely allowed myself to be upsold to the 2nd-highest quality lenses. I thought they might be twice the price, but–no, when all was said and done, they were nearly 5x more expensive than my old glasses.
