I think the lawsuit was with PS3, not PS2.

Should probably just block that whole privacy nightmare of a site, to be honest.

I read Susanna Kaysen's Girl, Interrupted and now I'm reading Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, both old favourites. Reading them together feels right somehow, probably because they have a thematic connection. Next up I'll be reading Blindsight by Peter Watts. I don't know much about it, but someone mentioned it on here and I found it at my local library, so I'll give it a go.

Ah, the old classics.

I see you are not familiar with sea cows.

The Chernobyl accident fascinates me, so I'm reading Midnight in Chernobyl by Adam Higginbotham. I have read INSAG-7 (a couple of times), so I think I have a decent layperson understanding of the accident. INSAG-7, however, is primarily a mechanical document, and I wanted to learn more about the human aspect of the operators. I have to admit, I'm disappointed, but it's not the fault of the book, since I set my expectations incorrectly. Apparently, Higginbotham interviewed many people involved in the accident over a decade, and I was hoping this was a more journalistic book with quotes and facts and figures. Instead, Higginbotham set out to tell the story of the accident, and that's how the book reads. This is a fine approach, just not quite the one I wanted to read. While I've caught a few errors, the book is well researched. It does irk me that he cites Grigori Medvedev in his work, since Medvedev's book is known to have inaccuracies. At the very least, Midnight in Chernobyl is far more accurate than the HBO miniseries.

Posteo is affordable and, at least to my liking, private enough.

It looked more like mustard, actually. Tasted nothing like mustard though, not even amusement park mustard.

You can always install another DE: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/switching-desktop-environments/

And then you can remove KDE Plasma by running dnf remove @kde-desktop but I'd advice you to take a good look at the packages being removed and evaluate whether it'll remove anything critical. I'm not going to say this won't cause any issues, but you can always try it - just make backups beforehand.

Ramaria flava (lemmy.ml)
submitted 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) by banazir@lemmy.ml to c/mycology@mander.xyz
 

I believe this is edible, but I've never picked any.

EDIT: This may not be Ramaria flava, but another species.

 

A picture of a bolete mushroom I saw this morning. I was in a hurry and couldn't really check, but I believe this may be a Leccinum Scabrum.

Bonus picture of an unidentified but, I think, pretty mushroom munching on the trunk of a dead tree: The white fruiting body of a xylophagous fungus.

 

Went foraging and found a nice little clump of golden chantarelles. It's a bit early in the season, but the bravest ones are already out.
