Cropped screenshot behind the shoulder of my Valheim character standing high up in the swamp, with a crypt visible on the right and some sort of multi-legged creature in a yellow-ish haze directly in front of me in the distance

Another screenshot of the same creature with its weird alien-lookin head visible

ok nobody panic it's the nova redesign and you can turn it off it's fine it's fine `about:config` → `browser.nova.enabled` = `false` (this has been a message for everybody running #devedition or any other #firefox release channel that just delivered 157b1)

Screenshot of my Firefox about:config page showing browser.nova.enabled set to false

see the problem with the karve boathouse is that it's wood, so your options for height are limited

A somewhat lopsided wooden boathouse with steeply sloping roof panels and a big awning above the ntry is slightly obscured by fog. A karve is just visible floating inside.

#prismaorm 8 is designed to work well for sloperators and it's designed to work well with the rest of the prisma platform (we need to eat ok), but it's also really cool and extensible on its own! for raw humans! with nothing else! (also it's apache-2.0 forever and it runs side-by-side with 7)

In Prisma 7, the core team was the only group that could realistically make changes. In Prisma 8, [any developer] can add database support, middleware, an integration with a validation library, or a contract format without us. Our priorities will be biased toward our financial incentives, but that doesn't mean the community is stuck waiting for us.

what we didn't realize initially is that's also very funny this was our first time in the mistlands. obviously.

My character stands looking down. The surface I'm standing on and everything around me is obscured by mist (literally, you can make out the outline of a single rock, maybe, and that's it). The nameplace for "Hociroam" is visible but Hociroam himself is not.

but we don't just build, we also sail

My character holds the mast of a longboat while "Hociroam" navigates around the rocks protecting the Mistlands. The bow is obscured by sea spray.

i have a minor boathouse obsession

An unsymmetrical boathouse that barely fits the small sailboat anchored inside. There are swinging doors that don't close all the way, and the roof is weirdly chunky on one side.

A boathouse that absolutely dwarfs the other one in comparison, set in the meadows over a partially artificial harbor. Wooden walls and ceilings protect a stone dock that could fit 4-5 longboats without any trouble.

i know it looks all pixelated and retro, but you gotta understand how beautiful it is

Morning in the meadows biome. My character is walking along a harbor surrounded by green ferns and trees. A rising sun is obscured in the distance by fog, but it reflects along the water and JJ Abrams would be thrilled by the lens flare

one of our castles, after we discovered the *put your farm in the courtyard* strategy

Evening in the plains biome. My character stands in a courtyard full of blue-flowering flax, surrounded by high stone walls and columns. A big fireplace is visible in a far corner, and two windmills are perched on the castle roof

i don't really feel like the trailer does it justice so this is now a "check out my favorite #valheim screenshots" thread up first, my first big bridge, over a channel we dug on purpose to make a continental crossing easier

A sunny day in the meadows biome. My character sits on a stone walkway next to an artificial canal. A large covered wooden bridge crosses the canal in the background. It has a stone foundation, torch-lit staircases, and lots of criss-crossing wood decorations.

"it's a question of resources" my eye, marion #tdff #watchthefemmes

“And the ratings are clear. We are almost 80% of the average viewership of the men's [Tour] for the women's. In five years, that's absolutely incredible. So there's no reason we should not have full coverage. It gets more than the French Open, more than the [men's] Tour of Poland [stages of which are currently being broadcast live in full – ed.]”

so glow is lovely if you spend any time in a terminal reading markdown. BUT it's *also* lovely if you want a syntax-highlighted pager for shell scripts? which i did not realize until i opened one with glow by accident and got a happy surprise. #cli #terminal

I really wonder about the methodology. The article didn't mention it.

Did they get several cities to participate?

Screenshot of a paragraph from the article with "the study" formatted as a link:

“We found that staying in standard time or staying in daylight saving time is definitely better than switching twice a year,” said Jamie Zeitzer, PhD, professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences and senior author of the study that published Sept. 15 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The lead author is Lara Weed, a graduate student in bioengineering.

Materials and Methods
Light Simulations.
Light exposure patterns (i.e., patterns of daily light exposure) under SDT, DST, and BAS were simulated over one year. We assumed an idealized light exposure pattern (Fig. 1A), with [screenshot ends]
