It is recommended that you read the latest release notes on our wiki.
Release 3.0
The OpenMandriva Lx teams are pleased to announce the availability of the release 3.0!
Detailed below are some of the advances that the distribution has incorporated since OpenMandriva Lx 2014.1. Apart from the enhancements 233 bug have been resolved since the 2014 release.
Available Media
This release is available as a live media DVD, downloadable in ISO format. These are available on our downloads page.
Live media means you are able to run OpenMandriva Lx straight from a DVD or memory stick (See Below) and try it before installing it. You may also install the system to hard disk either from the running live image or from the boot manager.
Recommended Hardware
OpenMandriva Lx 3.0 requires at least 1.5 GB of memory (min 1GB), at least 10 GB of hard drive space (see below for known issues with partitioning).
If you wish to run the live distribution (the option to
Start OpenMandriva Lx at the CD boot screen), you must have at minimum 1.5 GB of memory. At least 2 GB of memory is recommended for optimal performance.
Release is available for x86_64 architecture, The i586 and ARM architectures are being worked on, but are not yet available for this release.
Important Note
KDE Plasma Desktop requires a 3D graphics card that supports OpenGL 2.0 or above
Virtual Machines
The same hardware requirements apply when running in virtual machines.
For VirtualBox, however, you must ALWAYS have at least 1536 MB of memory or OpenMandriva Lx will fail to boot.
Please ensure that VirtualBox is configured with "Enable PAE/NX" This option can be found under the System>Processor tab.
Also for VirtualBox you must install to a fresh VM, as trying to install to an existing one may fail. This recent problem is being investigated.
Note that if you use
qemu, you may need to select an alternative graphics driver other than your distribution default or you will boot to a black screen.
Installer and EFI Support
This release of OpenMandriva Lx supports booting and installation with and without UEFI.
Best system installation experience is provided by Calamares 2.3 installer.
What is Calamares ?
Calamares is an installer framework. By design it is very customizable, in order to satisfy a wide variety of needs and use cases. Calamares aims to be easy, usable, beautiful, pragmatic, inclusive and distribution-agnostic. Calamares includes an advanced partitioning feature, with support for both manual and automated partitioning operations. It is the first installer with an automated "Replace Partition" option, which makes it easy to reuse a partition over and over for distribution testing.
You should be able to boot and install OpenMandriva LX on UEFI machines.
Note that secure boot is NOT supported.
If you are installing beside Windows8 or similar EFI booted OS as a precaution please ensure that you have recovery disks and you have backed up any important data. Our testing has been limited with this configuration but successful installs have been performed with no issues. We would welcome any feedback in this area.
Please see the notes on partitioning here and here
EFI Partitioning
If you wish to to perform an EFI install on an existing MBR disk it will be necessary to convert the disks partition table to the newer GPT partitioning scheme. To do this you need to use the gdisk tool. A typical invocation would be 'gdisk /dev/sda'; the existing partition table will be converted in memory to the GPT scheme. Warnings will be issued about potential data loss, the disk will not be altered until you write the partition table by pressing "w". You are advised to back up any important data.
There may be occasions where the conversion cannot be performed, this will usually be due to insufficient space at the beginning or end of the disk to write the partition tables. It may be necessary to delete or resize a partition to create the needed space. gparted is your friend in these circumstances.
There is still a need to create an efi partition to contain the boot equipment and this must be created while running the Calamares installer. When the installer reaches the partitioning stage the / (root) partition should be removed and a small (254mB) fat32 partition created at the start of the drive. If you fail to observe these steps installation of the boot loader will fail. Subsequently partition the disk in the normal way. Please share your experiences on the forums so that we may improve this aspect of the installation.
Booting from USB
It is also possible to boot this release from a USB storage device. To transfer the live/installation you may use the ROSA Image Writer available from our repos: Please do not use other usb- writing tools as some Windows tools (e.g. Rufus) truncate the volume name. This breaks the boot process.
urpmi rosa-imagewriter
Or, if you do not have OpenMandriva Lx:
Windows (32-bit)
Linux x86 (32 bit)
Linux x86_64 (64 bit)
Mac OS
At least 2GB of flash drive capacity is recommended. Persistent storage is not necessary. Note that this will erase everything on your USB!
via dd
You may alternatively dd the image to your USB stick:
dd if=<iso_name> of=<usb_drive> bs=4M
<iso_name> with the path to the ISO and
<usb_drive> with the device node of the USB drive, i.e.
New Features and Major Changes
OpenMandriva Lx 3.0 is a new release.
OpenMandriva decided to give a go for a switch to LLVM/clang 3.8 as the default compiler, and finally has replaced GCC. Over 90% of packages in our main repository are built with LLVM/clang.
Benefits for end user:
- Fast compiles and Low Memory Use
- Expressive Diagnostics
- GCC Compatibility
- Better object code generation compared to others
- Object code is optimized for its size
More information can be found here.
OpenMandriva Lx uses the latest stable kernel, 4.6.4, by default.
An even more current version, 4.7-rc3, is available in the repositories (kernel-desktop-rc-latest package) for people who want to test upcoming releases and/or who have hardware not yet supported in the stable release.
OpenMandriva Lx also features kernel 4.1.18 nrJQL – a powerful variant of the 4.1.18 kernel that has been configured with desktop system performance, responsiveness, and realtime capabilities, in mind.
The new NRJ mode adds CPU and RCU full Preemption and Boost mode, the QL mode adds patchsets which combine to provide further optimisations, including BFS CPU task scheduler, BFQ disk I/O scheduler, UKSM memory management, TOI for suspension and hibernation.
This kernel version is enabled with kernel keys necessary to use the "EDID ovverride" feature, with this we should be able to override an incorrect screen EDID with boot time options, we have included EDIDBINS in the ISOs, a package containing 5 basic firmwares for the most common resolutions so that users may force different resolutions than the ones detected automatically by X.
The CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT key allows loading of a customised acpi table. Details will be found on our Wiki in the kernel pages.
HT/SMT NICE feature added and enabled by default for a better responsiveness and realtime behaviour on all PC with HT (Hyper-Thread), improving performance of foreground applications at the expense of background ones.
Your desktop / gui / applications will remain fast even if you run folding@home, mprime, seti@home etc.
A more effective and precise control on the nice levels of server apps for its proper balancing and tuneups.
Please, see: https://wiki.openmandriva.org/en/Kernel for more information.
Default init system is systemd with version 230. By default are enabled:
- systemd-networkd
- systemd-timedated
- systemd-timesyncd
- systemd-resolved
We have upgraded Xorg to version 1.18.3, and Mesa to 12.0.1, which brings the latest free drivers for the best performance. A Compose cache is now incorporated which speeds up application startup time and reduces memory usage especially in locales with large Compose tables (e.g. all UTF-8 locales).
We are working on many new and interesting shells using new display technology based on Wayland 1.10.0 version. Currently planned are:
For now Weston and KDE Plasma 5 are working out of box. KDE Plasma 5 running on wayland is still experimental and not recommended for daily use.
All the input devices like keyboard, mouse, touchpad and others are now handled though libinput 1.2.2 version library by default.
oma-welcome, or Welcome to OpenMandriva Lx has been updated to reflect the new version. This application introduces users to OpenMandriva Lx and shows them some of the features we have, as well as providing quick links to common tasks such as updating, installing new software, and configuring a desktop.
KDE Plasma 5.6.5
We have ve upgraded to the latest and greatest version of the KDE Plasma desktop. If you don't know what KDE Plasma is, learn more at their website.
KDE Frameworks are updated to 5.23.0 version.
KDE Applications are updated to 16.04.2 version.
We are using Plasma-discover as a main tool for updating distibution. Plasma-discover is a Qt5 frontend for PackageKit.
Our distribution is running with Qt 5.6.1 version.
Important notice!
Plasma 5 heavily uses Qt5 OpenGL. This means a minimal system requirements is to have a graphics card that support OpenGL 2.0 or newer version.
We have implemented full KDE Framework that allows user to get all of benefits of Plasma 5 desktop.
Calligra Suite 2.9.11, Krita 3.0
Calligra Suite is a graphic art and office suite written in Qt4 and supports KDE Plasma 5. (A port to Qt5 is currently in progress, but not yet included in the 3.0 release). It is possible to install whole calligra suite after installation is finished. Krita, a raster graphics editor that is part of Calligra, has already been ported to Qt5 and is included in the install image.
SDDM is new and lightweight displaymanager, written in Qt5 with QML and provides new features and benefits to enduser, compared to KDM.
LXQt 0.10.0
We have prepared LXQt for our alpha release. LXQt is a lightweight desktop fully written in Qt5.
By default SDDM is used as display manager.
xfce4 4.12.0
xfce4 is very lightweight environment based on GTK+2.0 and GTK+3.0, featuring speed, low request on resources combined with great look.
LibreOffice 5.1.3
The latest LibreOffice featuring much faster load times and many bug fixes.
Web browsing
Qupzilla 2.0.1
Qupzilla is a full featured web browser using Qt5WebEngine as a rendering engine. More information can be found here.
We encourage to give qupzilla a try as a new experience in web browsers world.
Firefox 47.0
The latest firefox with its new graphical interface and all the latest features.
You may wish to suspend desktop effects when running Firefox is in full screen mode, as it speeds up scrolling.
Chromium 51.0.2704.79
A Chromium web browser is available to install it on running system either by using urpmi or discover or rpmdrake.
urpmi chromium-browser-stable
If you wish to try an experimental version with newer features (but not quite the stability), you can also try
urpmi chromium-browser-dev
The -stable and -dev versions can coexist on the same installation.
Java 8
The OpenMandriva Java stack has been entirely rebuilt to version 8 and is completely functional.
We currently provide Eclipse Luna by default.
Improved support for printing, with an emphasis on the latest HP printers. Printing support is based on Cups 2.0.3 and ghostscript 9.18.
ALSA is updated to version 1.1.1
Pulseaudio version is 8.0, you can find more information about features here.
The SMPlayer media player is now included, using MPV as its default backend.
If you live in a country that allows it, you may want to install the various codecs from the
restricted repository for improved codec support.
Cloud service
We added support for owncloud.org via owncloudclient package.
We have updated our LCMS to version 2.x, also all software which was dependant on older library has been rebuilt to meet new one.
We have decided to make better use of libarchive, and starting from this release by default we use:
- bsdtar as a default tar program
- bsdcpio as a default cpio program
Detailed features and benefits can be found here.
Perl base package has been updated to 5.20.3 version. All perl related software in main repository has been rebuilt to meet new version.
Python has been updated to 3.4.4 version and starting from now it became default python interpreter over python 2.x.
We are providing support for:
- qemu
- docker
- virtualbox
You can install and run these out of the box.
We are providing many games which has been ported to Linux. With use of PlayOnLinux you can play games available only on Windows(tm) platform. Of course Steam package is available and can be installed using urpmi, rpmdrake or plasma-discover.
To give it a go, enable the non-free repositories, and
urpmi steam
More information can be found on our page dedicated to games.
ISO build tools
Previously livecd-tools were used to build OpenMandriva ISO images. Due to code complication and its limits, we moved to build own ISO image build tool.
omdv-build-iso is written as a bash shell script, which works out of box on ABF and in userland.
Upgrading to OpenMandriva Lx 3.0
Upgrading between releases always has the potential to cause some problems. Upgrading is supported and we do test upgrades, but due to the huge range of packages and hardware configurations that are possible, the upgrade may cause unexpected problems. Therefore we recommend that you always perform fully backup your system prior to any upgrading attempt, since there can be a chance for a loss of data. In particular be aware that upgrading between MDV-based packages and OMV-based packages may be the most problematic and should be avoided if possible.
We hope that upgrading between OpenMandriva Lx releases will become easier in the near future.
Upgrading from previous OpenMandriva Lx Releases
If you do NOT receive an upgrade notification from the Online Update applet, you may have to update your system.
mdkapplet crashes trying to upgrade, you may have to update the packages on your system first.
If you still do not receive a notification (we may not have pushed it to all systems) or wish to do a manual upgrade, you may step through the following procedure.
As root, run the following commands:
urpmi.removemedia -a
urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist 'http://downloads.openmandriva.org/mirrors/openmandriva.3.0.ARCH.list'
ARCH with your architecture, e.g.
i586 or
Then run the following commands:
urpmi --auto --auto-select --replacefiles 2>&1 | tee /root/upgrade.log
Reboot when completed. The upgrade log is stored in
Upgrading from 2011.0
Please upgrade to 2013.0 first by following the procedures outlined in the 2013.0 release notes before upgrading to 3.0.
Changes to Hardware Support
Graphics Support
Graphics support has improved with the latest drivers however there are still issues with some hardware.
NVIDIA Graphics Cards
This release includes the reverse engineered nouveau driver, which gives moderately good support for most NVIDIA cards. For some dual-screen work it is actually better than NVIDIA's binary driver as it supports screen rotation on a second monitor, which is useful for monitors with rotatable screens.
NVIDIA's binary drivers (which provide better performance and better support for the very latest NVIDIA GPUs) are currently supported by the XFDrake, the DrakX video configuration tool. In some cases it may be necessary to install older drivers using the command line. These drivers are available from the OpenMandriva repositories.
ATI Graphics Cards
The latest ATI graphics cards are supported; however, we have not had any concrete feedback about its usage. Your mileage may vary.
If you are using Radeon HD7770 or if you experience a black screen at boot and you know that you have an ATI/AMD grahics card please add the command below to the grub2 cmdline:-
To do this at when booting the iso press the "TAB" key; the kernel bootline will be displayed at the bottom of the screen, go to the end of it and add any options required there. Press enter to boot. If you need to enter a kernel parameter while boot an installed system the procedure is slightly different. At the boot screen press the "E" key and this will bring up the Grub editor. Search for the first line that begins with "linux" go to the end of it and add the option there. To boot press F10.
Intel Graphics Chips
Intel graphics chips are fully supported.
For 6th generation Skylake GPUs, you should use kernel 4.6 or 4.7-rc instead of 4.1.18-nrjQL.
Miscellaneous Graphic Cards .
We have not had feedback from users. Should you have an unusual graphics card that is not performing as it should please file a bug at issues.openmandriva.org
Laptops with dual graphics cards .
Please report any issues experienced
Changes to Installation
We are using Calamares as our default installer.
Calamares is an installer framework. By design it is very customizable, in order to satisfy a wide variety of needs and use cases.
Calamares aims to be easy, usable, beautiful, pragmatic, inclusive and distribution-agnostic.
Unused Hardware & Language Removal
This feature has been re-enabled. It prompts you to run it at first boot, and you may run it any time afterwards from the
oma-welcome application (Welcome to OpenMandriva Lx).
Changes to the DrakX suite of tools
Boot Configuration
We now default to using
grub2-editor to control the boot loader.
Proprietary Drivers
We now install proprietary drivers for nVIDIA and AMD correctly.
We have deprecated drakfirewall in favour of firewall-config, which relies on firewalld.
Service responsible for firewall is enabled by default.
Booting with systemd
Systemd has now been moved into the initramfs and the result is super-fast booting. Switching runlevels has changed. Instead of adding the target runlevel, as before, there are now specific boot options. Namely, the following options must be appended to the kernel command line:
- Rescue Mode:
- Text Mode:
- Graphical Mode:
Desktop Environments
This BETA release offers KDE Plasma 5, LXQt and xfce4 as desktop environments.
Media Sources
main is the core packages maintained by the OpenMandriva Lx team. This includes anything included in the install images as well as many more applications considered important.
contrib represents community maintained packages. These are not supported by the core OpenMandriva Lx team, and depend on package maintainers to update it.
restricted contains libraries that aren't installed by default due to legal concerns (such as patent issues). The usage of these packages vary by country - OpenMandriva Lx is not responsible for their usage! If you believe that their usage is disallowed in your country, please disable the restricted repositories.
non-free contains applications and drivers that are distributable, but do not meet the definitions of Free Software. While we can adjust the packaging of such applications, we do not have the source code and therefore can not fix problems caused by anything in this repository.
Other Changes
Monitor EDID Loading
The "EDID override" feature is now available and allows a monitor with incorrect (or no) EDID to be enabled at kernel boot A package "edidbins" has been included in the ISOs which provided five binary files to support the most common resolutions. These may be called from the kernel command line at boot such that screen resolution may be force to that which the user desires. Obviously a facility like this should be used with care as it has the potential to damage your monitor. In order to enable one of the supplied edid's you need to add the following line to your kernel command line "drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=edid/1280x1024.bin" obviously you can select your resolution from those supplied which are.
1024x768 1280x1024 1600x1200 1680x1050 1920x1080
As things currently stand these resolutions are available as soon as the root directory is mounted. If you want these resolutions for plymouth then you will need to incorporate the edid binary file in the initramfs. Dracut the image builder does not currently support this. The current approach would be to unpack the initramfs, add the necessary files and then repack.
As with any release, there are still issues and bugs that may not have been resolved. This page documents those that may cause inconvenience and where possible details how they may be worked around.
Booting Live DVD/USB
If you have a problem booting the live image with some hardware please report a bug detailing your hardware and any observations that you make if you are affected by this problem.
Partitioning with Small Disks
When using the custom partitioning tool to divide up the hard disk/s be aware that there is a minimum size requirement a root partition that contains the /usr directory of at least 5.0Gb. If the partition is made smaller that this the partition manager will not function correctly.
Due to the adoption of systemd the use of a separate /usr partition is no longer possible. It is still permissible to have a separate /usr/local partition.
Workaround: If you receive an error message stating that the partition is smaller than the minimum requirement then do not try to resize it as this will fail; instead, use the auto-allocate function which will automatically create a partitioning scheme for you, which you may then delete or change to suit your own requirements. This will clear the error.
Local Network Sharing
The firewall service,
firewalld is now enabled by default, if required it may be disabled via the OMA Contol Centre under the system entry. Additionally to aid local networking both nfs and samba ports are open over and above the usual ssh and other services.
Parental Controls
Parental Controls are currently non-functional.
Workaround: None available at the moment.
Partitioning: General Information
When using the custom partitioning tool to divide up the hard disk/s be aware that there is a minimum size requirement a root partition that contains the /usr directory of at least 5.0Gb. If the partition is made smaller that this the partition manager will not function correctly.
Due to the adoption of systemd the use of a separate /usr partition is no longer possible. It is still permissible to have a separate /usr/local partition.
Admin Privileges: The wheel group
Please note that the first user created on the system is part of the
wheel group, which allocates special privileges that are usually only allocated for the
root user. Users in
wheel can bypass certain password dialogues to change system settings.
This is intended behaviour. If you wish to disable this, remove users from the
wheel group.
Black Screen at Boot
There is an issue with some systems that have two different graphics adapters but only one of them is operational. Typically this is a Nvidia GPU combined the either Intel or AMD/ATI. Due to the automated nature of driver selection in modern systems if the non-functional GPU is automatically selected then X will load the matching driver. Thus the working GPU never gets setup resulting in a black screen. We have recently added a new boot command line option to allow an Xorg driver to be blacklisted thus allowing the correct driver to be detected.
To use this feature you must edit the grub2 command line. You can do this by selecting your desired boot option and then pressing TAB. To the end of the line add the following:-
xorg.blacklist=<driver to blacklist>
To determine which driver needs to be blacklisted is probably best achieved by booting the system to a text mode and checking which driver has been loaded at boot time. A procedure for doing this is detailed below. In some circumstances this may not be possible and you will need to resort to your motherboard/Graphics card specifications or trial and error. It will be necessary to permanently add the line to the grub2 command line that boots the installation. This is described below.
There are other circumstances where a black screen may be encountered. For example if you wish to use the proprietary driver for your graphics adapter it may be necessary to inhibit the kernel mechanism that loads the free drivers. In these circumstances adding
to the kernel command line will normally be enough to allow installation of the OS or running with the manufacturers drivers . If necessary the command may be added permanently by editing /etc/default/grub at the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT label and adding the required command. Then run update-grub2
If you are using the internal GPU of an Intel Skylake processor, you should use kernel 4.5 (rather than 4.1.18-nrjQL) and/or specify
on the kernel command line.
To boot to text mode:-
1: Boot from the DVD/USB stick and at the grub selection screen select the livecd option and press TAB. Edit the grub command line by and add the command
"systemd.unit=multi-user.task nomodeset"
to the end and boot the machine. This will bring you to a command prompt where you can login.
2: Login as root and then type lsmod | less and observe the output. Look for the loaded graphics driver by finding the drm entry the graphics driver will be listed here. It will be typically nouveau, radeon or i915 (there may be others). The name used here will be the name to add to the xorg.blacklist= parameter
Other Graphical Boot Issues
ATI There are a number of graphical boot issues which may result in a black screen or a low resolution graphics screen. The ATI X600 based adapters currently suffer from a segfault in the driver making graphical boot impossible this may extend extend to other ATI based hardware which we have not tested. We recommend installing the fglrx drivers in text mode you may have to compile these manually until updates to the dkms package are available. Intel Users with older motherboard based Intel graphics hardware which may find issues when trying to use alternative graphics hardware. It is known that nVidia hardware does not start up properly in this configuration. Usually the result is a black screen. There are a number of things that can be tried but the best combination so far is to disable the Intel card from the command line using "i915.disable_display=true" and pre-loading the nouveau driver with "rd.driver.pre=nouveau" and adding "nomodeset". This may give a low res graphical screen. If you do no get a graphical screen use all the above options and boot into text mode (see above) buy adding systemd.unit=multi-user.target to the end of the grub boot line. Once in text mode as root add the nouveau driver to /etc/modprobe.preload.d/modprobe-preload.conf. You will still need "i915.disable_display=true" and "nomodeset" on the grub command line but this should give a graphical boot but still at low res. Hopefully updates will bring a resolution to this problem.
Backlight Issues
There are some machines with Intel GPU's (Netbooks particularly) that may still give a black screen even with everything set up correctly; this is due to the screen backlight logic being inverted. This may be fixed by adding i915.invert_brightness=1 parameter to the boot command line. This may be needed in addition to the xorg.blacklist= parameter.
Boot to a dracut prompt
If this happens all is not lost. This may be indicative of the lack of disk driver for your hardware. Dracut indicates that it has produced a bug report which you can copy to a memory stick and then attach to a bug report you will need to mount your memory stick. Assuming it is FAT formatted then plug it in and type 'dmesg' the device name of your memory stick should be visible it will be in the form /dev/sd<x> the bracketed x will vary depending on how many drives have been found on your machine if for example you have one other drive then the entry might read /dev/sdb. Create a new directory /mnt with 'mkdir /mnt' then type 'mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt' and the drive should be mounted. (Note the 1 added to the device name). You should then be able to copy files to your memory stick with 'cp <files> /mnt/' . Please take the trouble to report this type of problem as receiving these reports is the only way we can improve our distribution.
Calamares Installer
On some systems the standalone versions of Calamares do not start; if you experience this issue please report a bug. The problem does not seem to occur if Calamares is launched from the live system. Also please note that the selections for disk and bootloader installation are not sticky. If the screen is re-written they will return to the defaults. This is a known issue and will be fixed in the next released iso.
UEFI Installs
The Calamares installer supports EFI installs but not secure boot. If your system has an existing fat32 partition that is under 330MB Calamares will give and error message and warn that installation might fail. The reason for this is that the theoretical minimum size for creating a FAT32 partition is around 330Mb. If you wish to keep your existing partion then mark it FAT16 instead and the error message will go away and the install and boot proceed normally. Alternatively you can increase the size of the partition to >330Mb and the install should proceed normally with FAT32 selected as the filesystem.
Dual Installs (EFI and BIOS booting on the same disk) and BIOS install on GPT partitioned disks.
Please be aware that if you wish to perform a BIOS install on a GPT formatted disk you must ensure that the disk contains a small partition => 2Mb for grub to install the bootloader into. This partition can be located before or after the EFI partition. It does not need to be formatted but must have the "bios-grub" flag set.

Suppose $f: A \to B$ and $g: B \to A$ are injections of rings (commutative with identity). Must $A$ and $B$ be isomorphic as rings?

Suppose $f: A \to B$ and $g: B \to A$ are injections of rings (commutative with identity). Must $A$ and $B$ be isomorphic as rings?
According to this question, this answer should be "no", but can someone give an example?
Hey Damien, I think the following should work $\mathbb{C}$ and $\mathbb{C}(x)$. There is only one uncountable algebraically closed field of each cardinality in characteristic 0 and the algebraic closure of the right hand guy should have cardinality the continuum it should be isomorphic to $\mathbb{C}$. Probably, this assumes the axiom of choice though.
Here is another counterexample for fields: If $K=\overline{\mathbb{Q}(x_1,x_2,...)}$, then there are monomorphisms $K(x_0) \to K \to K(x_0)$, but no isomorphism since $K(x_0)$ is not algebraically closed.
This is not even true for fields. Let $E_1$ and $E_2$ be isogenous but not isomorphic elliptic curves over $K=\mathbb{Q}$ or $k=\mathbb{F}_p$ for some prime $p$. Then the isogeny $E_1\to E_2$ and its dual isogeny $E_2\to E_1$ induce field injections $k(E_2)\to k(E_1)$ and $k(E_1)\to k(E_2)$. But $k(E_1)$ and $k(E_2)$ are not isomorphic; a putative isomorphism must extend the identity on $k$ and it would induce an isomorphism between the elliptic curves $E_1$ and $E_2$.
There are many pairs of as-nice-as-possible compact topological spaces $X,Y$ with continuous surjections $X \to Y$ and $Y \to X$ but no homeomorphism. For example, let $X$ be a closed interval and $Y$ a circle. Then you get injections on algebras of functions: $\mathcal C(X) \hookrightarrow \mathcal C(Y)$ and $\mathcal C(Y) \hookrightarrow \mathcal C(X)$. For sufficiently nice spaces, Gelfand-Naimark, for example, says that the functor $\mathcal C$ that takes a space to its $*$-algebra of continuous $\mathbb C$-valued functions is a full and faithful contravariant functor to commutative algebras, and in particular a complete invariant, so in particular the two rings are not isomorphic.
Edit: There are complaints in the comments, and I didn't think very carefully before writing down all this. This has something to do with the fact that I tend to conflate the words "algebra" and "ring".
So let me switch meanings, and denote by $\mathcal C(X)$ the continuous $\mathbb R$-valued functions on $X$. Suppose that $X$ is Hausdorff and compact (and if that's not good enough, let's just go all the way to being a manifold with corners, where then everything absolutely works). Since $\mathbb R$ has no ring homomorphisms, the points of $X$ are precisely the same as ring homomorphism $\mathcal C(X) \to \mathbb R$. Actually, this is true for $X$ not compact provided it is regular and not too large: it suffices for there to be a function $f \in \mathcal C(X)$ so that every level set is finite. Anyway, then any ring map $\mathcal C(X) \to \mathcal C(Y)$ automatically induces a set map $Y \to X$. But also the closed sets are precisely the vanishing sets of functions, i.e. a subset $S\subseteq \operatorname{Hom}(\mathcal C(X),\mathbb R) = X$ is closed iff there is $f\in \mathcal C(X)$ so that $s\in S$ iff $s(f) = 0$. Anyway, the point is, pick a closed subset of $\mathcal C(X)$, pick a function $f$ determining it, look at the image of $f$ under the map, and its vanishing set in $Y$ is precisely the preimage of the closed subset under the map. So every ring homomorphism determines a continuous map. Since a continuous map is determined pointwise, we have the full-and-faithful functor that I wanted.
Note that for manifolds (with corners if you want) you can play the same game with $\mathcal C$ meaning "smooth real-valued functions".
Sam Lichtenstein poses the dual question in comments:
What's a counterexample to "dual Schroeder-Bernstein" for rings? (That is, same question but with surjections rather than injections.) Is there one with A,B finite type over a field?
That is,
Do there exist finite type $k$-algebras $A, B$ not isomorphic to each other, and surjections $A\to B, B\to A$? (*)
He gives an example in the non-Noetherian case; I claim the "dual Schroeder-Bernstein theorem" is true if $A$ and $B$ are Noetherian. And in general, if two Noetherian schemes $X, Y$ admit maps $i: X\to Y, j: Y\to X$ exhibiting each as a closed subscheme of the other, then $i, j$ are isomorphisms. So the answer to (*) is "no".
I'll prove the more general claim. Assume to the contrary that one of $i,j$ is not an isomorphism. Then $j\circ i: X\to X$ exhibits $X$ as a proper closed subscheme of itself, say $X_1$. But then $X_1$ is isomorphic to some proper closed subscheme of itself, say $X_2$; continuing in this manner, we may construct a sequence $X_n$ where each $X_i$ is a proper closed subscheme of $X_{i-1}$. Let $\mathcal{I}_n$ be the ideal sheaf of $X_i$ in $\mathcal{O}_X$. By Noetherianness we must have that $\mathcal{I}_1\subset \mathcal{I}_2\subset \mathcal{I}_3\subset\cdots$ stabilizes, however, which contradicts the claim that each $X_i\subset X_{i-1}$ is a proper inclusion. Here's a more formal write-up of the affine case.
This provides an example of a "surjunctive" category in the sense of John Goodnick's answer to this question.

I never thought of photography really seriously, not the «art» thing, you know...
I've always seen a fun part of the life and probably the photos is my way to emphasize it, to give it a shape.
I like to see new places but sometimes I enjoy even more noticing things happening by the side of the very same road I walked a thousand of times.
And, well, I click my camera at that moments.
Actually that's all I do.

At the heart of every modern computer is the CPU – the central processing unit. For several decades the CPU has been the main focus of the computer, with the name of the CPU sometimes used as the name for the computer itself. In the 1990s Windows users were introduced to the "Pentium", and Apple would go on to release a range of G3, G4 and G5 computers. The CPU has become synonymous with the actual computer, the definitive part of the machine.

Some of the pre-release buzz around The Irishman was … skeptical. Yes, director Martin Scorsese remains one of the most celebrated filmmakers in the world, but wasn't he repeating himself by making another mob movie starring Robert De Niro? How could he justify a three-and-a-half-hour running time? And what about reports that the film was using de-aging techniques to allow De Niro, Joe Pesci and Al Pacino to play younger versions of their characters in the film? Was Scorsese's character-and-performance-driven approach compatible with VFX-heavy filmmaking?

As long as there have been cables, there's been someone willing to take a cable, dip it in liquid nitrogen and polish it on a maiden's knee, then sell it for 17 times the going rate. This sort of chicanery serves to make most people cautious about different and expensive cables bearing extravagant claims of specialness, usually quite rightly.

For a few years now, we've been hearing of the near glut of multiple sclerosis drugs that are in the pipeline. This journey from bench to pharmacy can take upwards of 10 years and cost nearly a billion dollars (USD). A few of these meds are now entering the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval process, so I thought we'd have a chat about what they might mean to us as some of them are quite novel in their approaches.
Not naming names (because the naming process is yet another part of the obstacle course to approval), but I'm finding that one of the factors that the scientists and drug companies have heard from us is that we are sick and tired of injections. While not all of these possible treatments of the near-future get rid of needles altogether, the daily/weekly/thrice-weekly shots may be a thing of the past for some.
Of course, many of these meds are more powerful than the first generation meds we know. With increased power comes increased risk too.
Making their way to the approval phase are "pegylated" interferon drugs which have a "peg" on the molecule which helps it "hold on" to the cells longer — increasing their "half-life" (not like a radioactive half-life) in the system — thus reducing dosing to once per month (by self-injection) or maybe even longer.
Oral meds are, of course, something many of us have been hoping to see for a long time. The first of these oral meds (of what is expected to be many) hit the market last year and has been well-received by the MS community. The price and some emerging side-effects, however, have kept the use of that drug a bit below the manufacturer's (and their shareholders') hopes.
Infusion therapies will be in the next batch of approved drugs as well. While needles are still involved, the monthly or even quarterly schedule makes this class of drugs attractive to many.
While not specific to MS (and not yet approved for anything), there are even new devices which are implanted in the body and deliver drugs via microchip-controlled pump. These pumps might even be able to hold a full year's worth of meds at a time!
These drugs (and mechanisms) aren't cures. We don't yet know which will be approved and which will not. What we do know is that the 40 or so drugs currently in testing phases are beginning to trickle their way toward the treatment faucet. We'll be waiting to see what might splash forth…
Wishing you and your family the best of health.
Don't forget that you can also follow me via my Life With MS Facebook page, on Twitter, and our new group on MSConnection.org. Check out our bi-monthly blog I'm doing for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of the United Kingdom, A Yank's Life With MS, as well as our very special new monthly blog for the National MS Society.

Hi, Jeff.ReplyDelete
Excellent work. Very impressive.
I can ssh raspberry pi from local network now. However, my router(just a simple hub) is very old. I have to compile/install ppp-2.4.5.tar.gz and rp-pppoe-3.10.tar.gz to get online.
But this release doesn't contain gcc?Replies
Bodhi aims to keep things that aren't needed for the most basic system tasks not pre-installed.Delete
Unlike the other Debian images out there that come with 3 web browsers.
But it still has "make" :P.ReplyDelete
Hmm...I think I have to blame my old router.
By the way, so far so good. Very good distribution.
Can't hardly wait for my Rpi to arrive.ReplyDelete
In the mean time... how does it perform?
How much RAM is used, what is the general feeling?
(In comparison with the sliding official version)
- Kristian NaugleAugust 1, 2012 at 12:22 PM
Bodhi Linux might be a good direction to go for a Raspberry Pi official distro. Me and a friend were wanting a lite distro that used Enlightenment DR17 and I think that would be a great graphical environment for the Pi. DR17 is such a good balance of performance speed and eye candy.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 1, 2012 at 7:47 PM
It's great distribution but like someone else told before me - why do not use Raspbian as a base OS? Now Raspbian figures as stable release, it contain some Hard Float optimizations. I do not know exactly how these optimisations looks like from repository site but I think Raspbian is sin-worth.ReplyDeleteReplies
Because the current Bodhi ARM branch uses ARMEL packages - which do not install on ARMHF - which is what Raspbian uses.Delete
We are currently looking into moving to a ARMHF package base, but this has only just started.
I ordered my Raspberry PI on late March and I am still waiting for the board to arrive...ReplyDelete
I have seen the tar.gz image occupies 829 MB. What can you say of the installed one? How big and SD card should I prepare to receive that image?
I read Raspbian is now using an improved coding for getting all possible juice from the processor.
I will try both, most probably... as soon as I have my PI.
Thanks a lot for your contribution.Replies
Ahh - good catch. Just added the SD information to the post - you will need at least a 2GB sd card.Delete
Also we are looking into incoporating the RaspBian improvements to our build :)
- AnonymousAugust 3, 2012 at 3:40 PM
Still waiting for our Pi....ReplyDelete
Glad we got the Efika MX last year!
This is all good news, folks. Bodhi rocks on ARM hardware.
Hi, thanks a lot for developing this adapted version.ReplyDelete
I've installed it on mi Pi but it seems that I cannot install any software on it. When using the 'install now' button, I receive a message saying either "Package 'NAME PACKAGE' is virtual" or "Could not find package 'NAME PACKAGE'". And when using the download option, I cannot find any way to run the .bod file (I do change the execute permission).
I understand that the install now option cannot be used with a fresh installation. So what should I do? Thanks a lot for your help.
PS: should I post this in a forum?Replies
The current version of our AppCenter is not fully compatible with our ARM releases. We are working on bringing this functionality over ASAP. For now you need to install software via the command line or with Synaptic.Delete
Also be sure you are using our latest ARMHF release - the links in this post where old, I am updating them now.
Thanks a lot! Works fine using the command line. However, I tried to install libreoffice but it seems that the armel file does not exist. Anyways, great job and thanks again Jeff for your time and efforts... :)Delete
Libreoffice works fine on our ARMHF build. I wouldn't even try to run such heavy software on the RPI though - it would run horribly slow.Delete
- AnonymousOctober 26, 2012 at 1:03 AM
LibreOffice runs fine on my machine - though, admittedly, the extra RAM probably helps (got a 512mb version). I had a look, much prefer your file manager, but will stick with Raspbian for now.ReplyDelete

A guest review by Sirius
Summary: This enjoyable story made me forget why lately I have not particularly cared for stories about werewolves and vampires.
Vampire Alexei Novik may have the teeth and the coffin, but he's given up the lifestyle for an old fixer-upper in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Weary of his past, Alex plans to keep to himself, but it seems his sexy, new neighbor, Tate, can't take the hint—a good thing, since it turns out he's handy for all kinds of things around the house. Tate even gets along with Alex's werewolf friends, though one of them pointedly reminds Alex that their friendship is a bad idea.If a platonic relationship is a bad idea, the growing attraction between Tate and Alex is a disaster waiting to happen. Loving Tate will draw him into Alex's dangerous world, and Alex is torn between having the relationship he's always craved and keeping Tate safe. Tate won't take no for an answer, however, and seems to handle everything Alex can throw at him without blinking. Just when he thinks things might turn out all right after all, Alex's past catches up with him—forcing him to make a terrible choice.
Lately I only read books which feature werewolves if they are recommended by trusted sources, and I pretty much have given up on vampires altogether. I still check out unusual shifters, but overall after reading so many in the past, I am very weary of "creature features" (to borrow Aunt Lynn's wonderful expression) and this weariness is not wearing off yet. Crying for the Moon, however, was one of the few and very welcome exceptions. 🙂 It exceeded my expectations in so many ways. I wanted to try a longer book by this writer and I decided that I would do so even if the subject matter did not appeal to me. I am glad that I did because I had a very enjoyable reading experience.
From the moment Alex and Tate meet on page, they have a spark, a connection that I look for when I am reading a book that has a romantic storyline. And thankfully the author did not tell us that one character felt a sudden and everlasting love towards another and vice versa. I don't know about those of you who also read this one, but I was already giggling when I was reading what Alex' first impression of Tate was and here is a sample for you:
"No doubt the angled cheekbones saved Tate Edwards from having his cheeks pinched on a regular basis. The late-day stubble on his jaw was a deeper shade than the rest of his hair, making the contrast between the two striking. His eyes were the unusual shade of brown, so light they looked gold. If Alex had to describe either hair or eyes, he wouldn't have been able to name their exact color. Tate had skin pale to the point of near-translucence and a light dusting of freckles that kept him from being downright gorgeous.
Pity he didn't know how to dress."
Isn't this awesome? All this admiring of the beauty and the punch line at the end of the paragraph. I knew I was going to love this story from its very beginning.
As the blurb tells us, Alex is tired of his old life and wants to move away from it to a more or less secluded location, so he bought a house and his friends are helping him move. I thought that the author used some traditional parts of vampire and werewolf folklore really well and added some nice fresh twists to it. I thought that Alex's struggle to be vampire who does not want to forget about his humanity was well drawn without extra angst and that the author really succeeded in creating a very interesting character. I thought Alex's werewolves friends were adorable, and I liked how Madison managed to keep a nice balance between making the reader remember that these beings can *turn* into blood-thirsty monsters, but they are really not going to forget their humanity either. I really enjoyed Alex' easy camaraderie with the werewolves because it is not that often that I can read about great friendships in m/m romance books in addition to actual romance. I really enjoyed the relationship Alex has with Nick's pack. I thought that the author managed to give the secondary characters at least some depth as well. Tate and Alex (especially Tate, but Alex as the POV character also has a lot of funny lines) made me smile and laugh pretty often, pretty much every time they were talking.
Why this one was not a five-star read for me? I thought that Alex' definitely knows better what he wants from life at the end of the book, so to me he does undergo some changes (a big plus for me), but I did not notice any character growth from Tate. While he is a fully-formed, likeable character already when the book begins, it sort of bothered me a bit.
I also thought that the little surprise at the end of the story was way too easy to figure out, so I took another 0.12 something point 🙂 for the "Hey, yes, I knew that right away" thought that I had when surprise was revealed.
But those are definitely just minor niggles, and I highly recommend this story as a very fun and enjoyable read.

(MEDIA GENERAL) – Iconic broadcaster Vin Scully got the salute he deserved Sunday, with the visiting Giants crowd serenading him with "Take me out to the ballgame" during the seventh-inning stretch.
Scully, 88, has spent most of his professional career with the Dodgers franchise, calling games for radio and TV since 1950 – eight years before the team moved to Los Angeles. He announced prior to the 2016 season that this one would be his last.
The Dodgers honored Scully with a special pregame ceremony on Sept. 23 and announced he will be added to the team's ring of honor in Dodger Stadium. But, with the Dodgers finishing the season on the road, it was up to the rival Giants fans to give the Hall of Famer his proper send-off.
In his lengthy, esteemed career, Scully has called three perfect games, 20 no-hitters and was behind the microphone for Hank Aaron's 715th career home run that broke Babe Ruth's longtime record. He is noted for some of the most prolific calls in sports history, including Kirk Gibson's game-winning home run that helped propel the Dodgers past the Oakland A's for the 1988 World Series. Scully's call of the home run is quoted by baseball fans everywhere: "In a year that has been so improbable, the impossible has happened."

I'm going to read through Marwick's paper and cull interesting bits, then paste them below with any commentary I think they warrant.
I aim to bring to light some of what the predominant discourse of Web 2.0 has obscured: social media's physical and contextual location in a particular entrepreneurial techno-culture of Northern California. This is a highly commercial milieu which draws partly from a rich history of Silicon Valley technology development, valorizing the young entrepreneur, the possibility of massive wealth, and self-actualization through constant labor. These capitalist, status-conscious values have influenced the affordances of contemporary social media, and how they are perceived and used.(4) ... The specific modes of status building enabled through social media (that is, life-streaming, micro-celebrity, and self-branding) are not accidental but, rather, are afforded by the design characteristics of the technical foundations of social media (5)This reminds me a bit of Adam Curtis's argument in the first installment of All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace: embedded in technology is the libertarian biases of start-up founders, and this technology in turn socializes users into an extremist ideology of individualism. I accept this interpretation to a degree but am wary (believe it or not) of lapsing into a conspiratorial view. I don't think neoliberalist viewpoints are limited to Silicon Valley; I think they are pervasive in U.S. society and are merely reflected in venture capitalists and entrepreneurs. But the defaults of social media have been shaped by the Silicon Valley outlook that presumes sharing, no privacy, perpetual work, etc. as norms and not radical innovations to norms. Yet my intuitive feeling is that the users of social media services have not found off-label uses to counter these biases, and have in general extended them.
Social media promotes an individualistic view of technology use which encourages and rewards focus on the self and competition with others in a process similar to the mythology of an unfettered free market. Self-presentation becomes a strategic way to display and garner status, and tangibly translates into material rewards.(10)Marwick rightly asks why it turned out this way; that is, why didn't the internet dissolve individualism and give way to collective identity or multifarious identity as many anticipated? Is it because social media evolved to facilitate ego surfing and keeping score in various ways (number of likes, friends, followers, comments, retweets, etc.)? Or was it assimilated to capitalistic social relations, which inculcate individualism as "reality" and collectivity as "virtual" or utopian or inherently unreal? That is, the designers of social media would have needed to build anti-capitalist bias into the services they made in order to stave off this assimilation to capitalist ideology and market rationality; instead they had already embraced that rationality and designed their services to reproduce that ideology in the new social spaces generated by internet connectivity.
3. "Social media's accessibility has transformed celebrity from something a person is to something a person does, and exists on a continuum rather than as a singular quality" (13).
Celebrity no longer has to do with achieved levels of fame; it is a set of online practices that fosters the illusion of fame, permits fantasizing about fame, intensifies the vicarious pleasures of identifying with the genuinely famous. In other words, "celebrity," as Marwick is using it, refers to the ways in which social-media users act as though they are being followed as intensely as they themselves may follow real celebrities. Or does this mean that celebrity is a matter of consciously using social media to promote oneself as someone worth following, adopting whatever tactics happen to be attracting attention at a given time online? Maybe what is at stake here is the pseudo-democratizaton of fame, which masquerades as a right rather than an accomplishment in the ways social-media companies promote their services.
Although Web 2.0 discourse positions self-branding as a way to find personal fulfillment and economic success, it explicitly instructs people to inculcate a self-conscious persona which positions self-promotion, visibility, and comfort with idioms of advertising and commercialism as positive, high-status virtues. A successful self-brander is a tireless self-promoter who focuses entirely on work. I argue that this persona is an edited self, requiring emotional labor to maintain a business-friendly self-presentation despite the advocacy of transparency and openness by social media culture. This self-monitoring can be quite stressful for its practitioners. Although the type of freelance project-based culture that is optimal for self-branding can be creatively fulfilling, the difficulty in continuous self-monitoring demonstrates the disconnect between neoliberal ideals of identity as self-regulating, entrepreneurial, enterprising, and responsible, and the reality of day-to-day life. Successful self-branding is possible only for a few, yet advocates position it as a universal solution to the structural problems of neoliberal work conditions.(16)I like the emphasis on the emotional work of self-branding, which tends to vanish in pro-self-branding discourse. Self-exploitation requires as much "carework" as any other service position, except one performs the affective labor on oneself. Because one experiences much more insecurity and instability, one has to treat oneself much better and with much more deliberation, which requires time and money and probably more time and attention from others. Later Marwick coins a term for it:
I introduce the concept of immaterial emotional labor to describe the practices that people go through to create and promote this self, which involves creating and establishing relationships with others, revealing vulnerable information in a performance of authenticity, and complete identification with the enterprise subject (58).
5. "While authenticity is held up as a virtue, social media encourages highly constructed and edited forms of self-presentation that are carefully created to boost popularity and gain status without alienating potential customers (19)." Yes. Authenticity is the product being peddled on social media. Not a means to exposing actual authenticity, but a discourse for constituting it as a commodity.
6. "aspirational production is the production of cultural content in an attempt to claim a certain status position." I think that is a useful phrase for describing the compulsion to share in social media. Here's how Marwick defines it:
The aspirational producer is a social media user who creates content portraying themselves in a high-status light, whether that be as a beautiful fashionista, a celebrity with thousands of fans, or a cutting-edge comedian. Aspirational production positions the creator to be discovered, either by amassing a huge number of fans or by gaining legitimacy from mainstream media. Therefore, the content produced by aspirational production can be said to have a particular goal: increased status and popularity.It seems to me the emphasis on status here is a bit misleading; I think it's more important to recognize this as an attitude toward cultural production, a reorientation of the reasons for creating something away from expression and toward manipulation/strategy. Expression becomes wholly self-presentation ratehr than older traditions of artists as self-abnegating, as embodying "negative capability" as Keats put it. Marwick argues that aspirational production is "about coveting the types of attention given to celebrities," but I wonder if the concept is more useful as a description of an aspiration to be able to count oneself among the "creative class" -- to be socially recognized as being able to make clever things (memes, quirky crafts, etc.)
7. "I frame self-branding as a neoliberal fantasy of how social media could best be used." Calling it a fantasy is interesting, highlighting the counterhegemonic ways social media can be used. But I think social media's architecture realizes the fantasy, and it takes concerted resistance to engage with social media without adopting/conforming to self-branding ideology.
8. This is a summation of the general conclusions Marwick draws, most of which highlight the doubleness of social media. They offer tangible benefits that encourage one welcome interpellation on neoliberalist terms. Less cryptically; social media make buying into the system of neoliberaism (the free-agent nation and the governmental policy that secures it) more appealing without mitigating it:
A verifiable identity makes it possible to leverage status across websites, but it also makes it simple to track people as they move around the web. A strong self-brand is a self-regulating mechanism that functions as a response to economic uncertainties. And while the social information created and shared through social media strengthens social ties, it does so in a limited way. ―Authenticity‖ and ―being yourself‖ become self-marketing strategies that encourage instrumental emotional labor. Social media furthers an individualistic, competitive notion of identity that encourages individual status-seeking over collective action or openness (60).
9. Good definition of Web 2.0 as an ideology rather than a technological development:
Web 2.0 is more accurately described as a set of applications and general philosophy of information and technology than a technical development. This philosophy espouses transparency, openness, creativity, participation, and freedom. It holds that if you allow people to collaborate and create their own content—writing, news reporting, entertainment, music, videos—the grassroots results will be superior to those produced by mainstream media or any centralized organization: more diverse and less subject to interference from corporate interests. Social media is said to facilitate activism, direct interaction with corporations and governments, and creative forms of protest. The discourse of Web 2.0 celebrates individual use of the raw material of popular culture for self-expression, and frowns upon attempts by large corporations or media conglomerates to rein in this creativity (86).
10. One of Marwick's key arguments is that the culture and ideology of Silicon Valley -- particularly its post-Fordist/New Economy way of structuring work -- is reproduced in Web 2.0 application; written into its DNA as the cliche goes.
much of the culture pioneered by dot-com companies, itself massively influenced by the work culture of Silicon Valley, persisted into the social media era: flexibility, entrepreneurial labor models, creativity, self-actualization through work, and the bootstrapped startup are all common to both. (118)Later she uses "value in design" theory to talk about the "affordances" of particular technologies. Hence: "Twitter affords status display in three different ways: follower numbers, re-tweets, and @replies" (207).
11. Another good succinct definition: "the concept of micro-celebrity, a way of thinking about the self as a persona presented to an audience of 'fans' " (219). The point is not the actual accomplishment of fame but the way one presents oneself as though others are an audience rather than peers. Only people at the margins thought of themselves in these terms before the Internet become ubiquitous. Celebrity is, as Marwick emphasizes, a practice, not a condition.
Micro-celebrity can be understood as a mindset and set of practices in which one's online contacts are constructed as an audience or fan base, popularity is maintained through ongoing fan management, and self-presentation is carefully assembled to be consumed by others. These practices are intimately connected to social media. (230)
