Oh we’re passionate alright, in a “fuck that country in particular” fashion.

Serious question: could we not just fork the project under the GPL and use that?

Was it everyone? Do we have any information on whether there were any sensible people refusing to take part in this?

I will never understand the Fee software developers that go to bat for GitHub.

Microsoft hates you and everything you spend countless hours building for free. They steal your work and sell shittier versions of it for exorbitant profit that they do not share with the community. They contract with ICE. They sell AI tools to Israel to help them commit genocide, and their CI offering is a total fucking mess.

Probably the only good moment in all of season 3 frankly.

I downvoted this, largely because while you may have identified the photo correctly the way you’ve done so here makes it sound like Berry has made a mistake when there’s no evidence of that from the article.

From her X post (why the fuck are these people still on X?):

Confirmed by staff, and removed swiftly by event organisers.

I can appreciate the sentiment, but do you honestly believe that Trump & friends need an excuse? They’ve fabricated every justification they’ve wanted in the past, so I don’t see how this makes him more or less likely to do Something Else Evil.

If anything, I would think it would give them pause. A brazen political assassination like this might suggest that their opposition might do more than march peacefully in the streets while he dismantles the country.

I really missed this when I switched from Konqueror to Firefox a long time ago. Nice to see it happening.

Fuck that. Roll out the red carpet for him and then chuck him in prison.

Watch his recent interview with Channel 4. I think you might come around to him.

Ooh, I’ll steal that!

This is what happens when you contribute to MIT-licenced projects. They steal your work out from under you.

While I welcome this sort of development, but without a safe and cheap way to store that power, the usefulness is limited. Most people aren’t home during the day.

There’s a GNOME extension called “Just Perfection” that may be exactly what you’re looking for. It let’s you hide/disable pretty much any visual thing you can think of.

With a name like “public space protection”, I honestly thought this would be about making spaces more friendly to the public, removing hostile architecture like skatestoppers and Camden benches, or replacing ads with public art, roads with bike infrastructure.

I’ve been living here 10 years. I really should know better by now.

It does get better, but… it’s kinda like river rafting.

Coming from Windows, Linux can and does often feel like you’ve spent your whole life trapped in a box. Suddenly “that thing that’s always annoyed you” is something you can turn off, replace, or improve with very little effort. I remember for example that when I switched back in 2000 I was blown away by a checkbox in the KDE PDF viewer. You could, in the basic settings, with no special hackery required, simply uncheck the box labelled Respect Adobe DRM. Suddenly, my computer was actually mine.

Using Linux these days is still just as amazing. You go from an OS that spies on you, pushes ads into your eyeballs, and has some of the worst design patterns ever, to a literal bazaar of Free options. It’s different for everyone, and that’s sort of the point: Linux is “Free” in all senses of the word, as you can make your machine do whatever you want.

It takes some time to get there though, and a lot of it is hardware unfortunately. A lot of the machines out there are built exclusively for Windows and the companies that make these things hide a lot of their inadequacies in their (proprietary) Windows drivers. So, when you try to use not-Windows, you end up using drivers written by people who had to reverse engineer or just do some guesswork to get that hardware working. This arrangement works very well for both Microsoft and these budget hardware vendors because it provides lock-in for the former, and a steady market for the latter.

The reality is that if you want to make the switch to Linux, you’re more likely to have a hard time if your hardware choices fall in this camp. For example, some times it’s just easier to buy a €12 USB WiFi or Bluetooth adapter that you know works with Linux than it is to rely on the chip that came with your laptop. It’s better now than it once was, but Nvidia cards, the occasional webcam, and a few WiFi devices have presented as problems for me in the last few years.

My advice is to embrace that “patience and stubbornness” and temper it with an honest pricing of your time vs. the cost of replacing the problematic hardware. When buying new stuff, look up its Linux support online before buying anything. You’ll save yourself a lot of pain.

In cases when you really want to dig in and understand/fix your problem (because it’s Linux, you’re allowed to understand and fix things on your computer!) then I recommend looking at the Arch Wiki and even using Arch Linux since (a) that’s the basis for most of the information there, and (b) Arch tends to favour “bleeding edge” stuff, so you’re more able to install the latest version of things that may well support your hardware.

I know it’s probably not the answer you were hoping for, but if you stick it out, I promise it’s worth it. I’ve been doing this for 25 years now and I’m never going back. Windows makes me so inexplicably angry with it’s constant nagging, spying, and inadequacies, I just can’t do it.

If you’re a Windows user

So no then.

This is really the big problem, but it’s solved if it’s implemented with a simultaneous crossing for bikes & pedestrians (aka scramble intersections). Without that, turning left means waiting through two (sometimes three!) red lights.

Source: we have one of these here in Cambridge (UK) and they haven’t implemented the simultaneous crossing. It’s untenable, so cyclists (myself included) do all sorts of dangerous things just to avoid the ridiculous wait times.
