Mostly just a mess.

Surf and Paraglide probably.

My recent work induction was conducted by the HR dogs. I learnt they get snippy if you point out glaring holes in their operating procedures. My tip is to smile sweetly and stay quiet.

John Peel. He was devoted to all music without prejudice or judgement, and was host on a BBC radio show for years and had on some of the greatest bands ever.

Yes that is an issue. Personally I avoid touching handles in public toilets without some tissue in my hand. I usually grab some on my way out.

The door handles and surfaces in public toilets are not clean either. It is not just your own piss that matters.

Putting anti cheats in single player games should be illegal.

pacman / yay

I also like pacseek as it provides a simple tui for package search and getting info about packages.

No one. Professional Football is boring. As a sport it is stupidly over sized. 5 aside is scaled better which makes it way more fun to play and watch.

Football also has too much association with unnecessary violence and hate.

I tried both games years ago. I found them boring, basic, and seemed aimed at young kids.

I don’t usually judge adults for liking stuff meant for kids, there are lots of great games and shows like that. However Dota and LoL both felt very childish at the time. I’m sure it takes a lot of practice and skill to get good, but I’ve never had a desire to revisit either game.

Honestly, at this point, I find judging people who play those games is kinda fun.

Yeah I’m not reading a PM article. Gonna wait for someone to post the bottom line.

Hold up. Is this the Electron that is effectively just google chrome running web apps ? I thought this was undesirable, it being bloated and slow? I’ve noticed a few server apps starting to use Electron, which seems like a bad idea. What have I missed, and why is it so important?

Dota and LoL. I shamelessly judge anyone who regularly plays either of those games by choice. Way too many people seem to like them.

So they added a date of birth field. Not technically doing anything wrong but a concerning direction morally. If it wasn’t for the fash / authoritarian bullshit in the world that field wouldn’t be a problem.

However, the question is how should the Linux community respond. Rather than grabbing pitch forks we should do what the Linux community does best. Support the alternatives, be it a fork or a replacement stack.

I’m watching for what lands and becomes popular. It seems inevitable that Devs in countries that aren’t forcing ID checks will build what we need. I hope to see either a fork of systemd free from redhat influence (always suspicious of large corps), or a true set of alternatives that can realistically replace the systemd stack.

The community will drive the change. Put down your pitch forks, pick up your keyboard yourself, or just support the good Devs instead.

I expect someone will just make a systemd patcher package that removes the field and provides clean error handling for anything that tries to use it.

I doubt it will over take Microslop offerings anytime soon, but I also think the rise of the Linux desktop has only just started. I think it will come from non-US countries where government departments make the switch. People start getting comfortable using it at work, which helps build confidence in the alternatives to Microslop shit. Also Valve still pushing hard in the gaming space. I think 10% to 15% market share in 5 years is possible. I doubt it’ll go beyond 20% without some fundamental changes, like laws forcing hardware OEMs to support Linux equally as windows and Mac, and better DRM support.

“That is a good idea, we should do that”. Rather than being ignored, it all go to shit, and then be told my idea was probably the right one when there is no longer a way to do what I suggested in the first place.

This happens WAY too often. I spend a lot of time ready for smug mode. This is at my job (guess what field) and at home.

Guessing a lack of meds, or too many meds of the ring sort maybe. Though he doesn’t look off his face.

Did I miss something. I thought Anthropic chose to not allow Claude to be used for military shit?

This is the only correct answer.

They certainly could. Authenticity and originality become what is valued. Everything being public means you will know who is the original.
