  1. "The fact that a man-made environmental disaster altered the upper mantle is a shocking illustration of the scale of the planetary transformations that mark the Anthropocene – the age in which humans are supposedly the central geological force on Earth. It would also seem to suggest that human activity could be affecting Earth’s interior in other ways. We need a new imagination for the whole Earth, linking the power of the deep planet with the vitality of the surface."

  6. @Canageek Part of the issue is when people say , it's not particularly descriptive. They could be talking about , or , , or even some other variants, like or , none of which have to really be in agreement with each other, for something to exist within the larger project, or ship them.

  7. "What human culture added was interpretation, prestige and normativity: it turned sentience into personhood, and personhood into something sacred. The crucial catalyst was the evolution of language, which, about 200,000 years ago, gave human beings new ways to describe inner life, attribute it to others, and elevate it into a shared ideal."

  8. "Heidegger believed that we risked seeing the world only in terms of economic potential and efficiency – an undeveloped beach becomes no more than an opportunity to develop beachfront condos, for instance. He believed that, to prevent us from losing our humanity, we should look to artists, who represent another way of seeing – one that deepens our appreciation of the world rather than flattening it."

  9. Afgelopen weekend was ik bij het interview met Will Kranendonk over haar nieuwe roman Aeon.

    In Aeon staan vier vrouwen centraal, ieder met hun eigen verhaal, kracht en perspectief. Verspreid over een periode van 1910 tot 2023. Ieder verhaal geeft een perspectief op het verbreken van de geweldscyclus.

    Ik ga het zeker binnenkort lezen!

    Dank aan Will Kranendonk en Eline van Wieren voor het diepgaande interview 🙏

  10. "The wildlife refuge Izembek occupies a small portion of Alaska's Bering Sea coast. This stretch of wetlands, tundra and coastal lagoons supports a remarkable range of wildlife. For decades, it's also been at the centre of a dispute over a proposed road that would link two isolated villages by cutting through this federally protected wilderness. This cinematic short film produced by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology provides a portrait of the landscape, showing both its sublime beauty and the wildlife that rely on it, while prompting viewers to consider what could be lost."

  11. Do I know people running @opensuse Aeon?

    I’d like user feedback from people who moved from Silverblue ideally!

  12. An Aeon essay through one of my favourite subjects: subversive literature, and whether it is actually subversive, by Charlie Ericson.

    aeon.co/essays/feel-the-burn-h

    He discusses #Dante and #Milton, and a contemporary poet, Shane McCrae, and makes a distinction between subversion and #revolution.

    It go me thinking about how literature's role in renewing #perception might transcend both of these.

  13. @leanderlindahl OK more clear choices.
    Mind as you mentioned, a stable choice.
    #openSUSE 3Tumbleweed or openSUSE #slowroll are good choices, especially
    with new hardware.
    openSUSE #Aeon, immutable GNOME based.
    #Kalpa same but KDE based.
    #Fedora #Silverblue or regular

    Immutable or not depends on preference.

  14. On attentional skills and the environments that are curated either to support or to suppress them:

    "Your inability to focus isn’t a moral failing. It’s a design problem. You’re trying to think in environments built to prevent thinking. You’re trying to sustain attention in spaces engineered to shatter it. You’re fighting algorithms explicitly optimised to keep you scrolling, not learning.

    The solution isn’t discipline. It’s architecture. Build different defaults. Create different spaces. Establish different rhythms. Make depth as easy as distraction currently is. Make thinking feel as natural as scrolling currently does."

  15. RE: sauropods.win/@PeterFalkingham

    Update to my #linux journey. After enjoying #Bazzite, but failing to solve HDR in games, and realizing the devs are quite antagonistic to Nvidia (mixed feelings here), I tried:

    #nobara First update broke the system irrevocably.

    #aeon Dev believes security chain is important, so impossible to install to external SSD or dual boot, so can't try it despite it looking like everything I want.

    #CachyOS So much faff and needlessly technical setup (and I am a technical person)

    *sigh* ...linux...

  16. One of the big things I like about the #UniversalBlue world is the openness -- especially the sharing of information.

    Once I realized that #Bluefin and Bluefin LTS both updated on a weekly cadence, that made me want to switch from LTS to regular.

    docs.projectbluefin.io/changel

    I wasn't so worried about changing kernels and packages as I was by the frequency of updates.

    Specifically I wanted to get away from daily updates (#Tumbleweed-based #Aeon is VERY dynamic).

    Weekly is more what I want.

  17. Until my previous laptop died, I had been running #Aeon Desktop for quite a few months, and had #Bluefin LTS on the second drive (after the previous SATA SSD died while running OpenBSD).

    So with this new/old laptop (both are 2017 HP models -- the dead one all Intel, the current one Intel/Nvidia), I did a few days of testing and decided to run Bluefin for AMD/Intel (not LTS).

    I'm not a hard-core developer. I would say I'm more of a dabbler. I'm way more of a writer and editor.

    1/2

  18. @jorge I just threw #Aeon Desktop (based on #OpenSUSE Tumbleweed packages) on this laptop.

    You can't beat it for things like simplicity and boot speed, though Bluefin is still in the ballpark.

    Contrasting #Aeon and #Bluefin

    Simple vs. batteries included (a whole lot more batteries, many optional)

    OpenSUSE world vs. Fedora/CentOS world

    10+ images (via BTRFS) to fall back on vs. 2 images (unless you pin some)

    Aeon auto-updates Distroboxes (by choice), Bluefin does not (also by choice)

    1/?

  19. I have been thinking about leaving the image-based (atomic/immutable) world and going with Ubuntu or Mint to easily get a signed kernel with the proprietary Nvidia driver.

    But since #Bluefin and Bluefin LTS for AMD/Intel run so well, presumably b/c this 9-year-old laptop has a good-enough Intel GPU, I might be able to stick with the kinds of systems I've been running for the past few years, which include #Aeon Desktop and #Fedora #Silverblue and #Kinoite.

  20. I am doing tests on my old (2017) HP Intel/Nvidia laptop to see where I'm going to end up, #Linux-wise.

    So far I've learned that my GPU (GeForce 940MX) is definitely not compatible with the current Nvidia driver (version 590).

    For that reason, `modprobe nvidia` doesn't work in #Bluefin for Nvidia, and that process permanently takes up half a CPU core.

    Bluefin for AMD/Intel runs just as well as Bluefin LTS. Definitely a contender.

    I'm going to try #Aeon. Maybe it will run as well or better.

  22. The #Aeon piece linked to below argues that we still haven’t really come to grips with the implications of #entropy. I wrote earlier this year about a book that tries to do that in the context of #economics. Rightly or wrongly, I also dragged in #Trump. doncurren.blogspot.com/2025/09/entr...

  23. I quite enjoyed this short video from #Aeon magazine on #Heidegger. It features some observations from the #philosopher emeritus of #Canada, the great #CharlesTaylor, along with #HubertDreyfus and other #philosophers, and a musician, a carpenter and a chef. aeon.co/videos/i-am-...

  24. Seven & I Holdings' market value dipped below Aeon for the first time in two decades, as shares in the operator of 7-Eleven stores languish after Alimentation Couche-Tard abandoned its bid for the company. japantimes.co.jp/business/2025 #business #seveneleven #seveniholdings #aeon

  25. I am very happy to share this more personal piece with you, exploring the link between inventiveness and play in our fellow nonhuman animals. It was written with care and a sincere desire to convey what science and philosophy can teach us about this fascinating topic.
    I hope you enjoy reading it!
