I went there last year! They’ve got a lil museum and gift shop inside, and a pretty decent self-guided walking tour around some excavated buildings.

In addition to destroying the Māori village that was there, the tourist settlement nearby, and killing most of the inhabitants of both, the eruption destroyed most of, and buried the rest of the Pink and White Terraces, formed by hot springs

Here are some photos I took while I was there:

I took about a hundred photos that day, so lemme know if anyone wants to see more!

Yeah, because the people being targeted now are the same people who were targeting others outside the US. 🙄 What an absolute garbage take.

The best part is, SpaceX is funded in large part by government contracts, aka NASA.

edit: actually it makes sense. Gut the workforce, funnel that money straight into the pockets of Mr. Inauguration-Sieg-Heil.

My main distro these days is Gentoo, but I definitely feel the same. I’ll write an ebuild anytime it’s feasible, and Gentoo has some pretty great tools for helping me keep up with updates for things.

I usually spin up a distrobox container of Arch for anything I need that I don’t want to, or can’t compile myself. Both CLI and GUI programs work, and you can use podman as the backend.

Tenacity is a community-run fork of Audacity, started after Audacity’s privacy fiasco.

Come on over to Washington where we have places like Seattle, Tacoma, Puyallup, Snohomish, Skykomish, Sammamish, Snoqualmie, and Issaquah, just to name a few.

We just have a looot of towns, so a bunch get boring names.

Just my phone and hiking boots! 😆

Key word here is civilized.

I, for one, will always be happy to see drunk octopus who wants to fight.

Now that’s what I call praxis.
