  1. Further Honoring My Ballet Lineage

    I came across a rare vintage pair of pointe shoes recently: Ben & Sally’s Noi-z-less pointe shoes. The shoes date from the mid 1920s and the company is, I believe, long defunct (This is a problem with many pointe shoe brands: even if they are popular, they get gobbled up by larger brands like Capezio, Bloch, Freed, etc. In the 20s, the only world-wide brand of pointe shoe was Capezio, thanks to Pavlova’s patronage of the company. It took time for pointe shoe brands to catch up to developing technique. That’s always a hand in hand journey. These shoes are a real treasure. They have a suede toe, which was common at least through the 1950s. It was thought to reduce noise and extend the life of the shoe. I believe one can still find suede toe shoes — Selva in the 50s was a very popular model. I don’t like the suede. I prefer to darn my shoes to my specifications but as I said, as American pointe shoe companies were starting up, one can find many interesting modifications to what we’d recognize as a pointe shoe today. I’m particularly amused to find that dancers in the 20s had the same problem as dancers in my generation, as dancers now with the heels of their shoes slipping off (hence the elastic).

    I am thinking for both my castrati and my dancer of profiling individuals every month. I’ve written before about certain dancers but I might make this a regular thing. One of the dealers from whom I buy pointe shoes, by the way, has a pointe shoe double signed by Nureyev and Fonteyn. I only really collect women’s pointe shoes and I’ve never liked Fonteyn (heresy, I know, but I rather loathe her), so I’ve let it pass, but if anyone is interested or wants to pick up much less expensive ephemera, this is an awesome, really awesome place to look. 

    This weekend I’m going to see the final performance of NYCB principal dancer Megan Fairchild. She’ll be performing the lead role in one of the great comedic ballets: “Coppelia.” Here is an interview with her. She is a fantastic technician and has a very strong stage presence. I remember seeing her in this same role when I and my husband were courting. It’s a bitter-sweet thing to now be seeing her retirement performance. She is an important link in the chain of lineage that binds this tradition — that of ballet– together, one generation to the next through bodies, through pain, through shared exhilaration of touching the transcendent. As an aside, Ms. Fairchild attended both universities at which I teach and received her MBA at NYU where I received my first MA. I just think this is very cool, but she sounds from her interviews a thousand times more organized than I ever was. lol. 

    Here  ^ she is in “Theme and Variations,” an extremely difficult piece (technically). You can read the article accompanying the image here. She has danced for a quarter of a century with NYCB and now is passing the torch. She has three children (something unheard of in my day as a dancer, just like going to college. When I danced, we were told it was a career or school, not both; and children could wait until retirement. I still get absolutely appalled when a principal dancer takes time off to have a child– and I know is just the way I was trained, one of the unhealthy things of dancing in my generation. In my day, at the companies where I worked, it would have been read as not being serious about one’s art. I think it’s a good change though and apparently with development in kinesiology, dancers are coming back from pregnancies thin, with pelvic girdle strong, and with a strong core. I think that in the old days (lol) we didn’t know how to achieve the last two things so well. Now dancers talk about it and there’s much more care given to PT, kinesology, and recovery. I’m glad this has changed). According to one of the articles I’ve read about her retirement, she and her family plan to move to France to ensure that her kids grow up bi-lingual (her husband, I believe is French). She’ll work as a repetiteur, one who sets ballets, in this case the Balanchine ballets she has danced, and maintains the integrity of the choreography. “Coppelia” is a perfect ballet for her, a perfect reverence to her time in service to this art. For those wondering, yes, I have two pair of her pointe shoes, both pairs signed. I’d post a picture, but they’re wrapped up in acid free paper and packed away in archival boxes.

  15. Ayer salió la versión 23.2 de LineageOS para mi smartphone, que corresponde a la versión Android 16 QPR2, y he de decir que estoy impresionada. Ya estaba un poco cansada de la misma interfaz de usuario que teníamos desde LOS 19, y el cambio me gustó bastante, incluso diría que está preciosa la nueva UI.

  18. @itsfoss I'm waiting overall until they share what this device will actually be. If it's just another touchscreen only device, with fingerprint & face scanners, that needs a case to avoid it breaking before I've even charged it the first time, then I'm continuing to avoid #graphene in favor of systems like #lineage & #postmarket that offer decent diversity of device compatibility.

  19. Petite mise a jour de #LineageOS (Android 16) sur un téléphone qui a 7 ans et qui fonctionne toujours très bien.

  20. Realised my Android phone is never going to update further than version 15 so considering installing @LineageOS so I can get Android 16 and future updates, but AT WHAT COST?!

    (I'm worried I will brick my phone) 🧱

  21. @art I have been using Lineage on my Pro1 X. But it recently died. (not sure if from the battery, or cause I didnt upgrade.)

    Which brings a question I hope you can answer, if you will. I'm sure it has a system for up*dates*. But what is the system for up*grades* (as in, not just safety updates, but moving to the new version, or getting the big update.)

    I like #Lineage. But to upgrade, required hooking to my computer, and a whole circus. I'd like to avoid.

  22. @rupdecat @mario_angst_sci

    I've just caved and set up Google calendar and contacts access BUT I've done it through #davx5 and am using the default calendar and contacts apps which came with #lineage.

    Long-term I think it would be fun to move away from having #Google manage that data for me (maybe using #radicale and #syncthing? forum.syncthing.net/t/how-to-s) but that can be an adventure for another day.

    It's for this reason I was so ready to accept #Matrix and #XMPP, considering between them and #kdeconnect, I can continue any discussions on my desktop that I had on my phone, and mostly leave my phone behind, hell, even my steam deck.

    So when it comes time that I probably, really, responsibly SHOULD upgrade my phone, I'm such a groaning old boomer about it, because I couldn't possibly care less about what phone I carry and I'm never ready to forcibly spend $300... again, for something I'll immediately hate, because Android hasn't gotten better since 2016 due to enshitty #google.

    So, I think... this time, I've decided to just keep ignoring it. I carry a #Oneplus 7 pro, and I have a Oneplus 6 that's solid that I can use as a backup if the #OP7pro dies. Sure, there's the whole issue that maybe my device drivers have a bug that's been exploited by hackers at this point because #Lineage only updates Android, not firmware... but, really, even the companies you buy your phone from are maliciously #spying on you. Why should my care start at random hackers, but stop at everyone everyone else that fingerprints me?

    The real use I have of my phone is my mom letting me know if she or the place we rent are in danger while I'm at work, or out and about, or if I get lost or mauled by a bear in the woods because my natural safe-place is a hiking trail. That's about it. Does it take decent photos? Don't care. Screen? Don't care. Performance? Don't care... to a point. Base, utilitarian performance is well and good. I'm not gaming on it.

    I'm just so jaded with it all. Maybe I'll go #motorola this round so I can have a Lineage-capable phone that doesn't cost me much to have recent hardware.

    >why don't you buy a Pix-

    Because it pays #Google and I'm a cheapskate.

    >...with an R8

    Priorities...

  25. Finally got Lineage on this Note 4, and it's been really pleasant overall. It's just so nice to be on a phone with a stylus again, especially when it comes to how easy it is to close other apps, pop in the S-Pen, and sketch away

  26. Yesterday I built a small, narrow workbench with high sides and integral shelving to serve as an electronics workbench for project prototyping, assembly, wiring, and (de)soldering.

    It's built entirely out of recycled pine shelving board from an old friend's mudroom bookshelves.

    The shelves have a lot of memories associated with them, so it is good to have something made from them in my environment.

    Source: Nature Communications, AbstractSARS-CoV-2 JN.1 with an additional L455S mutation on spike when compared with its parental variant BA.2.86 has outcompeted all earlier variants to become the dominant circulating variant. Recent studies investigated the immune resistance of SARS-CoV-2 JN.1 but additional factors are speculated to contribute to…

  30. ...and now for something completely different:
    #Nextcloud (#Android, #Lineage, #FP3) mal wieder... 🤦‍♂️
    Ich habe Sofortupload auf dem Handy aktiviert, damit er meine Photos sofort auf die Cloud kippt, das macht er auch. Irgendwann. Und ich kann das auch ums verrecken nicht anstoßen.
    Was da los? Anyone?

  31. If you're unable to run the new GOV•UK app on GrapheneOS, Lineage, or any other 3rd party Android app - please leave a +1 or some more details at github.com/alphagov/govuk-mobi

    (Do not be mean, aggressive, or sarcastic in that issue; you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. Also, please don't reply to this message about how you don't need an app; a blocking often offends.)
