Panic is a model macOS software company, the kind of thing Apple should be bending over backwards to attract to the platform. Untitled Goose Game is an incredibly good game that is a perfect fit for the Mac.

That Panic could not get Untitled Goose Game through App Review without getting jerked around over inane reasons is a damning indictment of the entire idea that App Review is a gatekeeper for quality, rather than a means of ideological control.

@mattb John Frost (Anthony Hopkins) was every bit that character. There's an interview out there with him, he was on set!

@mattb Bridge Too Far (same author!) is a bit more enjoyably but has even more stunt casting than TLD. Still a good romp.

@dzho@tilde.zone @nuala This is very true an all too often been deep in despair languishing in the failure part of the cycle. Managing to get it done is a big win.

@mattb Cornelius Ryan is the author. It's pretty brisk, which is another good quality.

@mattb The original? The book is really, really good. The film suffers a bit from being very dry but it's pretty accurate. To a fault.

And although you get five years security support for Ubuntu LTS, on a prod server that goes by surprisingly quick. After that if you want to stay secure you're talking a full upgrade (not always possible on a prod server) or paying for ESM via Ubuntu Pro.

And a really good little feature of Rocky is they include security metadata for update --security which CentOS does not. This makes crucial updates a breeze.

Ubuntu Pro support is basically $1k per machine for Enterprise use. At this point, just run Debian. Or Rocky, or anything really.

@waves@liminalisland.xyz I went to school there, left when I was 13 with mum and dad to go North and I always enjoyed visiting family there but you could not pay me to live there.

Today in 1827, 196 years ago: on the hill of Caballada, in the extreme south of the province of Buenos Aires (Argentina) the forces of the Empire of Brazil ―commanded by Captain James Shepherd― face the garrison of Fort del Carmen ―commanded by Colonel Martín Lacarra―, in what was called the Battle of Carmen de Patagones.

@nuala I feel every atom of this.

@scattapilla@jorts.horse There's a few troll instances out there. You learn to ID them pretty fast, they're usually edgy reply-guy types and the instance they're from will normally be full of them. You can sinkhole the whole instance if you want. Masto makes it easy.

@waves@liminalisland.xyz It amazes me. The kebab, I mean. It seems to happen all the time. That and egg sandwiches.
