@killyourfm The reason is probably because @alatiera has made sure it runs well on UTM on a M4.
based on the history I've read of the fire ants war this strategy was terrible and didn't work well since it killed all arthropods. It didn't target the fire ants.
In reality it may not have been possible to stop them, and more productive to teach the public how to live with them and mitigate their spread.
But no one wants to hear that "lawns cause fire ants to spread"
@futurebird
I kind of guessed as much. As I said, the fire ants still took over. I did notice the huge reduction in arthropod diversity, but had (seemingly incorrectly) assumed that it was the fire ants eating eggs and everything else in sight.
t-trick..
yay
Today I learned that Canva's AI can alter illustrations you paste there if you're not careful.
I found that by looking at a version of @the_lemonaut https://storyseedlibrary.org/art/the-lemonaut/hackerspace/ I've never seen before: with different light, minor details differing.
It was sent to me by someone using Canva to make a Solarpunk pamphlet, unaware that the tool can alter the images this way.
Damn.
GenAI is being pushed at us from everywhere.

. . . have you two made up?
Fascinating. I installed both GNOME OS Preview and Fedora 45 on my M4 Macbook via UTM (a virtual machine application). Both were AArch64 versions, both had the same VM settings and same resources.
Out of the box, GNOME OS Preview is flawless. HiDPi native resolution, accurate scaling, and audio just works. Meanwhile Fedora 45 only goes to 1680x1050 and audio isn't working.
I wonder why?

My school's community is looking for a humane, ideally open-source, tool for organising things like parents pitching in, school events, etc. Like a **very normal-person-friendly** message board.
Any suggestions? Something at least as easy to use as Facebook Groups. I'm able to host services on a VPS.
