Last year, I jotted down these notes: Installing Fedora 30/31 on a Dell XPS 13 9380 series in dual boot mode. Could be helpful to someone: gist.github.com/netsensei/7f…

So my uncle Wangchuk is a traditional Tibetan artist and he made this Tibetan thangka version of the cat meme. #Catmeme #WomanYellingAtCat #Tibetan #Thangka #Art

Since the introduction of the new SERP, I feel that #Google yields less useful results then it used to. Maybe that's just my perception. Blurring the distinction between result and as def doesn't help either, though.

While cities and companies say that they can blur photos to protect people's privacy, researchers have created an AI with an "Human Aware Motion Deblurring" system that can essentially "deblur" faces in post-production. “Let’s enhance!” venturebeat.com/2020/01/22/r…
Farewell to the great Terry Jones. His influence was more than wafer thin.

"What's the weirdest thing you've ever cataloged, Shannon???" Dirt, Karen. Landfill dirt. (Pardon me: "Loose soil from an archaeological excavation detailing a significant moment in video game history.")
Andrew Borman@Borman1822 Jan 2020
I looked up items @museumofplay received from Alamogordo because I was curious to see how we cataloged the soil from the landfill. We always put a rationale for why we collected an item, this one is: "This item came to the museum from a landfill in New Mexico." Made me chuckle.

I loved him the moment I saw him on stage at the Edinburgh Festival in 1963. So many laughs,moments of total hilarity onstage and off we have all shared with him. It’s too sad if you knew him,but if you didn’t you will always smile at the many wonderfully funny moments he gave us

There's something strange about the recent design change to google search results, favicons and extra header text: they all look like ads, which is perhaps the point?

The 70s & 80s, now in living color on a subway platform near you. A true sign of decay, one that we worked so hard to eradicate decades ago. The taggers had plenty of time to cover this entire train, because they know there are no more consequences. #backtothefuture

For some reason, I haven't been invited to Davos this year. Was it something I said? 🤔

Davos Panelist Calls Out Davos For Not Addressing the Obvious

‘It feels like I’m at a firefighters conference and no one’s allowed to speak about water.’ — This historian wasn’t afraid to confront the billionaires at Davos about their greed

Happy birthday @TheRealBuzz! 🎂 Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, born #OTD in 1930, was pilot of Gemini XII, and as lunar module pilot on Apollo 11 became the second person to ever set foot on the Moon.
