Peaty waterfall
Plenty of rain recently washing out through beautiful waterfalls like this.

10 January 1861 | A Dutch Jewish woman, Geertje Polak-Hoogstraal, was born in Appingedam.
In October 1942 she was deported to Auschwitz together with her husband Salomon. After selection they were both murdered in a gas chamber.

Kolejny miesiąc z linuksem :P
Przesiadłem się na Manjaro i wszystko zaczęło nagle działać lepiej niż na Windowsie - chyba nie wchodziłem do konsoli i wszystko ogarniałem z poziomu zarządzacza inerfejsu - KDE Plasma, które okazało się dla mnie nieporównywalnie lepsze niż GNOME ;]
Eksperci mi pisza, że organizacja zarządzająca Manjaro ma swoje za uszami, ale jeszcze nie zrozumiałem co tam złego się dzieje - jak miałbym polecać coś instalować, to właśnie tę dystrybucje.
Oprócz tego same dobre wieści:
- Uncharted 4 chodzi już bez żadnych kombinacji
- ruszył ray tracing w Callisto Protocol
- Star Citizen śmiga jak na swoje możliwości
Oprócz tego lepszy sen :P
Jedyne minusy obecnie - brak VR-u. Nadal nie udało się odpalić eksperymentalnego ALVR. Będę musiał więcej spamować gościa od VR Desktop, by coś zrobił.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie,
For #ThickTrunkTuesday I offer a massive Birch - never seen one that large before or since - taken in May 2002 in the Hockey Valley
Als Klimawissenschaftlerin dachte ich, dass die Bevölkerung und unsere Regierung aufgrund von Leugnungskampagnen der fossilen Industrie über die Schwere der Klimakrise getäuscht werden.
Nein, schaut nur, was in #Lützerath stattfindet: Die Menschen protestieren massiv gegen unnötigen Kohleabbau, den die grüne Regierung ermöglicht, und gegen deren Versagen bei der Erfüllung der Klimaziele.
Ein gesellschaftlicher Wendepunkt wurde überschritten.
BREAKING: Government Announces Reactionary Plan to Impose New Restrictions on Validity of Foreign Gender Recognition Certificates - by Jess O'Thomson (@jess)

The UK Government is clear that their target is not just GRCs from Scotland - it is GRCs from any country which does not require a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria to obtain such a certificate.
This #StreetLamp in Wrocław, Poland, became famous for some strange reason, so the power utility had it shaved, as this was against regulations. So sad. (couldn't find the original source of the photo)
While many countries are making major efforts to prevent the loss of their large #carnivore populations and/or to restore them - Sweden decides to cull about 20% of its wolf population:
This is just too purrfect!! Elon's $500 cat bed. 😻

Otterly adorable! Poor little guy eats a bad clam.

Hi Mastodon! #introduction 👋
My name is John Butler.
I'm Maths/Stats Lecturer and Neuroscience researcher in the School of Mathematics and Statistics in TU Dublin since 2015.
My research uses computational neuroscience methods to investigate multisensory processing. My favourite sensory system is the vestibular system it is just great.
I am a member of @neuromatch I’ve contributed materials to the summer schools. I also help organise the Conference and I’m particularly proud of the introduction of Neuromatch for Kids which shows how maths and neuroscience work together.
I really enjoy teaching, I've taught mathematics, statistics and computational neuro to all levels from graduate, down to primary. Here are two modules:
• Numerical Analysis with Applications in Python (https://john-s-butler-dit.github.io/NumericalAnalysisBook/ )
• Short Introduction to Maths in Neuroscience with Python (https://github.com/john-s-butler-dit/Basic-Introduction-to-Python)
There are more on my my GitHub.
Lastly, I do a bit of#scicomm, so I give talks at events like; Maths week and Science Week, Pint of Science, Bright Club, I’m a Mathematician Get Me Out of Here, and I regularly give talks in primary and secondary schools about his work.
It's a small win against the corporate greed, but it's a step in a good direction: https://www.bbc.com/news/business-64206913
Among the many priceless works of art damaged or defaced during the barbaric rampage of Bolsonaro supporters yesterday in the Brazilian governmental palaces was a clock made by Louis XIV's clockmaker Balthazar Martinot, given as a gift to Brazilian Emporor João VI. This specimen was completely destroyed, and the only other similar example known is at the Versailles Palace in France.

I check facts before I toot.
I sometimes toot in Polish.
