📟🐱 GlitchCat Sunday Post, 01 January 2023 

The GlitchCat offers news and updates from our corner of the fediverse to yours.

This update covers the past two weeks, since I didn’t bother with one last Sunday!!

§ Current Events :—

• It is Public Domain Day here in the United States, and there are some very cool things which are now unencumbered with copyright here!

§ From Our Users :—

@Lady continued work on her shrine-xslt static site generator, giving it rudimentary support for generating Atom feeds.

@Lady also published a playlist of her favourite songs released in 2022.

@aescling came out to her family and, semi‐relatedly, is in the process of moving, so be tolerant of any disruptions on the sysadminning side of things here.

§ Holidays and Observances :—

• 🍻 05 January is Twelfnight. In the Catholic tradition, this is the night before Epiphany, but in the English tradition, it is a night of partying to close out Yule. Great time to use up any partying leftovers from the holiday season!

• 👼 06 January is Twelfday, if you need a day for eating your king cake 🍰.

@Lady i think on android you need to make a whole-ass app to do something like that but Will Keep In Mind

@starfall @noracodes when i finally bother to dualboot on my laptop i’m planning to try out openbsd

unsolicited suggestion 

@noracodes would bash -c exec /snap/bin/firefox still work? that would’nt leave a bash hanging around parenting the process

@coriander no regrets but i really do just want to play fantastic games again so

@coriander i only played Frontiers because i knew it would be very interesting, which, definitely was correct.

i have made the grave mistake of making this instance slightly more french :le_chagrin:
