  12. Now free for all to read (but please consider subscribing)...

    Like most people, I'm enchanted by the penguin, with its waddling gait and its vague impression of being a little person in a suit. You're probably fond of them too. But none of us is as obsessed with penguins as travel writer and nature guide Jamie Lafferty, who spent years and lots of cash in the attempt to meet all 18 species of the bird in the wild...

  14. I like this good news story from Morning Report on #RNZ National radio today. A kokorā, NZ little blue penguin, got itself seriously tangled in the netting of a soccer goal in a residential garden in New Plymouth. The boy who found it alerted his grandma who called the Department of Conservation. The penguin was carefully extracted from the netting, checked over by a vet, then released back at the shore.

  16. Penguin, Tasmania, level of coolness.

    1. Named after a little penguin colony.
    2. Main focal point is a giant penguin statue near the beach front.
    3. Next to the giant penguin is a Tardis!

    Unbeatable...

  18. @[email protected] And I've got - more... If you go to linux.org and tap on the Mint forum, someone's - kinda new - there... Maybe this will give you a hint: I sincerely appologize for the long read coming up (as our attention span collectively shortens into a #CokeMentosMoment - (Reader Discretion Advised):... So this is literally my very first time in #penguin territory after 28 years on a platform of empty promises , uh, #Redmond , anyone?I have to first describe my somewhat unique situation before I can go into the specs of how I got here. As per the situation, I'm totally blind since birth, so the most important piece of software is actually a piece of 'critical spyware' in the sense that it reads the code from various objects to 'draw' my desktop, then speak the contents in focus to me via speech. That's what a #ScreenReader does. In the Windows world, this would have been either #Narrator , #JawsForWindows , or #NVDA from #NVAccess . On Windows since 2006 I've proudly used NVDA to traverse the increasingly evil Microsoft (now hardened) interface. I'm more of a pro-sumer than consumer, so on Windows I used #reaper the digital audio workstation alongside an absolute beast of a freeware+open-source software synthesizer called #SurgeXT from the #SurgeSynthTeam ! And per proper hardware control I got the M-Audio Oxygen 61 MKV MIDI controller last Christmas (No, not the Wham song) to play DAW hosts live in realtime. Per audio editing, #GoldWave was always my main squeeze - from the stupid little edits to extreme audio handling sessions (my favorite audio passion of late (say, the past 4 or so years) is impulse response recording). On a Dell Latitude 5500 acquired about 3 years ago from my brother's friend, it's handled everything I can throw at it. It initially came with 8 gb of RAM, but since updated to 32 gb to future-proof looking forward. I had to retire the battery because when I first got the Latitude, the touch pad + a part of the keyboard were swollen. So I've been on AC power per the past 3 years. Now to the nightmare scenario which I quietly saw coming... I should preface this by saying I Am One of Those that Does Want to See what's happening under the hood, so just prior to Wednesday, February 25th, just 3 days shy of #OperationEpicFury , I had an aggressively tweaked Windows session (complete with only a local profile on Windows 11 Professional) and a heap of registry files + batch+command+PowerShell scripts to totally de-damn the junk, block telemetry addresses+ports, unhide all 177 'hidden' UltimatePerformance power plan settings; Even a customized PS1 prompt with my user name@host name; date;time: Then my command input followed by the output on the next line. Had everything all set and ready to fly. But, as is standard practice in the Windows world, I shut down just before going to bed (almost wish I hadn't...), because:... Thursday, February 26th, - After powering the Dell just to check EMail, I got an awkward message on my screen: "No boot device detected" I just 'quiet'ly 'splash'ed it off, knowing the switch was nigh. Next week, around Friday March 6th, another friend of my brother introduces me to Linux Mint, but not a fully installed copy. It was a 'live' image that I somehow could not install a full copy of Mint to my SSD (quintessentially stateless computing at its peak). I somehow survived with that for 9 days till a bad #Florida #Thunderstorm took my power away! Now that Mint was gone, it twas time to see the evil 'snap philosophy' of 'humanity towards others'. While Ubuntu Noble Numbat was kinda cool, #Orca the #ScreenReader had a very difficult time with it, considering the Wayland experience + non-native snap apps throughout the interface! Twas about 3 weeks ago I'd finally had enough... I remembered people talking about the no-nonsense nature of the Mate desktop, so off to #Gemini I go to talk; He helped me prepare a 16-gb GigaStone USB flash drive - to go from being 'inhumane towards others' to 'from freedom came elegance' (complete with #Wilma (Mint 22 LTS)! He (Gemini) directed me as to how to fully format and nuke the Ubuntu image once and for all! Then, burn the Mint+Mate image to the GigaStone! The #GigaStone is now officially a - #FlintStone ! And - after the successful installation of Linux Mint + Mate with 0 sighted assistance (which is what the modern world silently endorseth), all is well - and - yall just gotta new penguin in your corner!

  20. My best friend commissioned a portrait of her two boys' favorite stuffed animals, Mumu Bear and Pinguini. They're basically family members! Super fun project!

  22. Using #Inkscape for the first time in years to #design a #penguin #logo (a reference to Linux mascot) for my personal #blog made me remember when I used to cut animal shapes out of cardboard for my children.

    It still makes me smile how unconditionally they loved those simple shapes, coloring them as soon as I finished a new one. I guess shapes were important because I made them.

    I wonder if they would have considered this one bulky. Beak is too long, at least. #WIP

  28. #fun #fact:
    #summer s in #antarctica have gotten so warm due to #climatechange, that #penguin #chicks are now freezing to death because of it.

    Sounds strange, but it is actually true.

    Isn't that fun?
