From NASA:
Using the Event Horizon Telescope, scientists obtained an image of the black hole at the center of galaxy M87, outlined by emission from hot gas swirling around it under the influence of strong gravity near its event horizon.
What a view. Wow.
Finally decided to change my Linux distro to Linux Mint and it’s my first time trying it. It has been a while since I’ve used a Debian-based one. I’m liking it so far.

Google is bringing AMP to Gmail not for your convenience or to increase speed, but to change your mailbox into a platform for marketers so that the ads jump into your face.
Tutanota explains very well how this AMP implementation will affect users privacy.
The recent anime season (Winter 2019) was a blast. One of the interesting seasons for a while.
Andrew Eikum, CodeWeavers:
On Tuesday (March 26, 2019), Valve released Proton 4.2, a new update to their Steam Play compatibility layer based on Wine 4.2.
As with CodeWeavers’s own projects, the strong preference for work going into Proton is to also get the changes into upstream Wine. There are many benefits to this. First, all Wine users will benefit from these fixes, whether they are end users of Wine itself, CrossOver users, or users of any other Wine fork. There are also benefits for the maintainers of Proton. For example, upstreaming patches helps prevent regressions, thanks to Wine’s extensive test suite; it lowers the maintenance burden, as there are fewer changes to move between Wine versions; it ensures code quality, since patches to Wine are reviewed by the Wine community; and it widens the pool of users to test, since Wine is used in many, many places other than Proton.
Linux gaming is greatly improving with this project.
Best ED by far this season for me,

…to define the mass of a single object is impossible, because there are not any single, left-alone objects in the world—every object is a mixture of a lot of things, so we can deal with it only as a series or approximations and idealizations.
The wait is over. Solus 4 released.
Happy $\pi$-day! It’s also Einstein’s birthday and death anniversary of Hawking. However, that comeback teaser image is really something, making this day more interesting.
Most things are pointless to stress over. I just want to live my life quietly and not make waves unnecessarily. But sometimes people you can’t control will attack you without warning.
I make it a point to avoid anything I can’t control. I don’t deal well when people do things i didn’t expect. But it’s after those unexpected things happen that you find little discoveries and new encounters. So every once in a while…just every once in a great while…I guess it might not be so bad.

Some notable (for me) xkcd comics that I’ve missed for the past few weeks (latest comics included).
I really did missed a lot.
First time attending to a different convention, confused at first but eventually enjoyed the rest of the event. （*´▽｀*）

The much awaited YouTube comments has been added to Newpipe. Keep the new features coming.
This domain existed for 365 days today. I really am maintaining the site. I should get back to coding.

That episode 7 of Mob Pyscho 100 II, it is good.
Kenneth Chang, NYT:
Opportunity, the longest-lived robot ever sent from Earth to the surface of another planet, roamed the red plains of Mars for more than 14 years, snapping photos and revealing astonishing glimpses into the planet’s distant past. But on Wednesday, NASA announced that the rover is dead.
\
“It is therefore that I am standing here with a sense of deep appreciation and gratitude that I declare the Opportunity mission as complete,” Thomas Zurbuchen, NASA’s associate administrator for science, said at a news conference.
What a bot. Curiosity will be joined by a new rover in 2020.
