Trinity Desktop Environment: A Classic and Evolving Desktop Experience

Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) is a full-featured, free and open‐source desktop environment designed for Unix-like operating systems. Born as a fork of KDE 3.5 in 2010, TDE was created to preserve the traditional desktop look and feel that many users grew to love before the radical changes introduced by modern desktop paradigms.

A school banned Indigenous students from using their language.

A century later, it’s teaching Cherokee

A precursor to Duke University once stripped students of their culture. -- Cherokee teachers are leading the change

Between 1882 and 1887, some two dozen children from the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians were enrolled in #Trinity #College’s #Industrial #Indian boarding school.

The school, which operated about 20 miles south of #Greensboro, North Carolina, alongside the college’s traditional liberal arts program, received federal funding in pursuit of its goal to #assimilate #Indigenous #students.

The students, who ranged in age from eight to 18, were forced to work and wear #western #clothing, and were #prohibited from #speaking #Cherokee or otherwise maintaining their traditions,
while other students who attended Trinity College were instructed in the liberal arts.

In 1887, the boarding school closed.
Trinity College eventually moved to #Durham and, in 1924, it became #Duke #University.

Now, the school at which Cherokee and other Indigenous students were forcibly stripped of their culture is being used to help revitalize the Cherokee language.

The classes are important not only because of Duke and the Cherokee people’s shared history,
but also because more speakers are necessary to prevent the Cherokee language from going #extinct.

In 2019, the three federally recognized Cherokee tribes declared a state of emergency for the language.

“There are approximately 2,000 fluent first-language Cherokee speakers left,
and each Cherokee tribe is
losing fluent speakers at faster rates than new Cherokee speakers are developed,”
the declaration reads.

Duke is partnering with #Vanderbilt University in Tennessee and the University of #Virginia for the promotion of less commonly taught languages,
such as #Haitian Creole, #Turkish and #Malagasy.

The Cherokee language classes mark the first time an Indigenous American language is being taught at Duke

" U.S. President Harry Truman called it “the greatest scientific gamble in history,” saying the rain of ruin from the air would usher in a new concept of force and power. What he didn’t mention was that the federal government had already tested this new force on U.S. soil."

#TTRPG players and GMs, what are you currently playing? What do you wish you were playing?

Currently running

- #Pathfinder 1e. Not a fan of the crunch, but it's for my wife
- Taking a short break from #MasksANewGeneration, a #PoweredByTheApocalypse #PBTA supers game but ready to dive back in to the GM seat at a moments notice
- #Trinity #Adventures game. Character creation was a headache compared to other #WOD #WorldOfDarkness games but the characters are fun
- Our #MonsterHearts2 game should be starting up again at some point

Wish I was playing
- #13thAge for the amount of say players get in world building
- #GURPS for the complete characters you get after creation, which CAN be a real chore
- #D6StarWars as it was one of the first games I played and I really like the system
- #CastlesAndCrusades #CNC for the old school style with modern sensibilities
- #VampireTheMasquerade or #VampireTheRequiem. I've got a #VTR campaign I want to run at some point, but I don't know if/when I'll get to it. A long term obsession I haven't had the chance to play in 15-20 some years at this point.

79 years ago today the United States detonated the first nuclear weapon on Earth. The Trinity Test exploded in a desert valley in New Mexico. It was a test of the weapon design used in the Nagasaki bombing, and almost all subsequent fission weapons developed by nuclear weapon states.

Trinity spread fallout across the country, contaminating many people in the immediate vicinity. Here is a map of the initial fallout cloud path.

All hosting big seriously major events today in #Dublin I fear the strong possibility of a #PortalToTheUnderworld opening during the day.

Today, while on a long drive, I've listened through the available podcast episodes of the "complete history of Trinity" by Casey Muratori.

I would love to play the game. Though I wonder, could it be done hands-free?

We have TTS and STT that can run locally on a phone. #ScummVM supports this game and runs on anything.
Can we make text adventures as accessible as audiobooks?

D-Day and nuclear radiation:

American military leaders were aware of the dangers of radioactive particles long before #Hiroshima or #Trinity.

On #DDay there was a special unit, Operation Peppermint, that came ashore in Normandy with Geiger Counters in anticipation that the Nazis might "pepper" the beaches with uranium particles to sicken and slow the invasion.

Militarization of radioactive particles predated fission weapons.

“‘#Trinity will complete a divestment from investments in Israeli companies that have activities in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and appear on the UN blacklist,’ [the university] said.…In contrast to confrontations in the US where police forcibly evicted demonstrators at several universities, there was no attempt to remove the protest. Eoin O’Sullivan, a senior dean who led talks with the students, thanked them for their ‘engagement’”
