That really doesn’t seem to be the case for a lot of folks

Somehow still doing a better job than the largest country in NA

Speaking of ffxiv, if I had a penny for every MMO trailer with tapestry artwork I’ve seen come out this year, I’d have two pennies, etc

(FFXIV Evercold trailer being the first one)

Oh, they have things called tests, also recently reimagined in slop.

Nice to see libxml2 dropped I guess, after that ordeal with it becoming unmaintained last year. But curious what the replacement is, and if others are finding replacements as well.

Hey, some of us care a negative amount! The only FIFA content I want to see is shit being thrown at their corrupt leaders.

It’s the same picture

Not that big on ligatures in monospace, really. I think I just go with what seems to look kinda nice and has a big enough amount of symbols to not look weird once a few of them are needed.

Also generally prefer dotted zero, or an inverse Ø. Fonts that make 0 and Ø look the same might as well just drop the slash altogether.

In spite of that I’ve been using Fantasque Sans Mono for years. At least the slash in its 0 doesn’t extend beyond the circle like in an Ø.

Especially given that a lot of us are interested in content filtering, just that we want to be in control of what we’re subjected to, cf adblockers.

I’d be super fine with it if I could tune, say, the YouTube app on our TV to not subject me to ads for illegal gambling sites, fossil fuels, vacations in authoritarian regimes, etc.

But that’s exactly what they don’t want us to have control over, because that means lost income.

While I think it’s amazing that not only are 95% of Linux users 56 years of age, but they even share the same birth date!

The article has some good points, but it read as pure LLM slop to me.

Was reminded of the meme: Heartbreaking: The worst person you know just made a great point.

I’d expect it’s pretty lightly populated at least, as that generally makes it easier to stand out in statistics.

I work at a Linux-dominant shop. Macs are somewhat common. People with Windows are kind of seen as weirdos.

We don’t use office packages all that much either; more geared towards markdown and git and programming languages. The office package I use the most is Google’s.

I haven’t had a machine with windows on it since Windows ME. I do have some training in windows server from over a decade ago (nearing two maybe?), but I’ve never used the knowledge.

Let’s just say that ME deserved its “Mistake Edition” moniker

Yeah, the usual argument for not picking GPL with Rust is based on how it applies to static linking, which is how Rust works by default. But the coreutils are executables, not libraries.

Even for the libraries I think it’d be nice with some stronger guarantees. Allegedly the EUPL is copyleft but allows static linking, so probably something to look into.

Ah well. At least it’s also possible for orgs like GNU to re-release forks of MIT stuff as GPL. The MIT licensing doesn’t only work for the proprietary-preferring orgs.

We have nearly all electric buses here in Oslo now, and whenever I wind up on a diesel bus I think I’m going to get hearing damage

Electric buses are far from silent, but WOW the amount of noise and stink we’ve just been tolerating with fossil fuels is insane. Even absent climate change, that’d be worth switching to electric vehicles.

Yeah, Ubuntu actually isn’t the first distro without GNU coreutils. Beyond Android and Busybox, there’s also stuff like Talos, which is something like … Kubernetes/Linux.

IME something like Kubernetes/Linux running “distroless” containers have a huge potential to displace traditional GNU/Linux in the server market, and I wouldn’t be surprised if someone manages to build a desktop out of it, either.

Also doesn’t help that the grammar reeks of LLM.

I’m also a fan of baud. I really should alias cat to baud -400 cat or thereabouts.

Bonus: run baud -800 bat --color=always and you get that wonderful old dot matrix printer feeling of the cursor just stopping whenever the color codes are being processed.

Be kind, rewind.
