@samw as someone who used to work in that industry it really is incredible how disgusting theatres can get. I was more shocked when things weren't covered in a thick layer of pitch black dust.

@q god bless 🫡

@rdbende the level of polish the gnome design language has is unmatched

@russss @samw a side effect of training everyone to repeat the call gives a bit of preample for people who forget/don't realise that they need to wait for the busy channel lockout before speaking

@9lore @elomatreb @eloy @jane mr president, a third terminal emulator has hit the GNOME gitlab

@sevencoil phew

@sevencoil I can't help but think Germans are going to have some opinions about this post

Hold conferences when there is more critical work to be done.

On X11 and the Fascists Maggots

I can't believe I needed to write this but here we are.

@karolherbst A Fascist makes a video and every homunculus trips over themselves while rushing to cover the "breaking news"

And the same guys will tell you all about meritocracy and all that, despite the whole thing having no technical substance at all.

These guys can't even avoid being duped by a neonazi clown on youtube but get to dictate the public discourse. Fuck this shit

@lproven @gamingonlinux @theregister

What are you talking about? Maybe you could ask somebody about things rather than repeating what you read on reddit? You know, as your journalistic duty would demand. I know its hard getting used to new things after so many years of not doing it.

> It is my _duty_ as a reporter to call this sort of thing out and criticise it.

You write slop articles with no research, that sell VPN and "get more free ram" ads. Stop puffing your own farts.

@soatok to the people who specifically claim that Matrix is better: what the fuck are you smoking?! Have you even used the app for more than 5 minutes or have messaged anyone? It's a usability nightmare and randomly not being able to decypt messages is unacceptable. Worse still not being told specifically why it cannot and how to fix it is maddening, as are the settings toggles that have no clear indication of what they do and the privacy or availability implications of changing them.

@phocks @futzle @stibbons it already existed before ipv6 :p https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1621.html

@jana Ah yes the UpCloud fedi wrath logo, brought to the reader by Raytheon Lockheed Martin Deathtech Inc. for the world's most inclusive ICBMs

To elaborate on this.

Xorg is dead, not abandoned. It still receives the attention of maintainers. It's goal has changed to now be as reliable as possible and to fix incoming CVEs.

To pretend you rebooting Xorg or you are a maintainer is outright disrespectful to all the existing Xorg contributors, maintainers and their wishes.

Comparisons to Keith Packard and XFree86 are especially vomit inducing.

It works wonderfully though as a reactionary honeypot. Thank you for that.

@catsalad where I post from:

@hugh that's the lockscreen, the MA2 and 3 run Linux :p
