Debian Maintainer | A Computer Nerd who also happens to be a Debian Packager. I support free software and open standards. Outside of the computer world, I'm a STEM Major who likes inventing things. I also port third-party software to FreeBSD. Also a mapper for OpenStreetMap

Currently in the process of adopting orphaned debian packages and keeping them updated. However due to Python 3.14, a lot of dependencies seem to be broken and have FTBFS so it's delaying the adoption process. Overtime I got better at packaging and it doesn't really feel that hard anymore. Maybe I should apply for DM soon.

@sjvn didn’t expect I’d see this one on fedi

@contrapunctus @Crafted_104 You gotta see the delusion of people who think LLMs will be some great invention that will redefine human lives. Also came across folks who don’t know shit about software fight with me in person that it’s going to replace all programmers. Often, I notice that people who back LLMs are people who don’t know shit about what they’re doing in the first place.

@contrapunctus Sure, ill probably show up for the next mapathon, just ping me.

@chiku @chiku @chiku can relate

@AKernelPanic my current pc is too weak for cyberpunk so didn’t go past the first car chase mission. Metro was good but yet to play last light. Just “finished” Skyrim last month but still a few quest lines remain as well as dlc. FNV could be on my list one day if I actually finish it. I have to start my fourth play through after 3 previous unfinished ones. In my last one I only got to vegas strip before the mods broke my game

@contrapunctus how do I add a train route on OSM?

@AKernelPanic A long list of favourites but some of them are Both Red Dead Redemption games, Mass Effect Legendary Edition, Batman Arkham City, Witcher 3, Fallout 3, COD Black Ops 2, Guardians of the Galaxy, Uncharted 3, Halo 3, MGSV, AC Revelations, Watch Dogs 2 and many more... What are your other all time favs?

@AKernelPanic loved Bioshock infinite and dishonored. Dropped dishonored 2 at clockwork mansion, need to pick it up again soon. I have the other bioshock games but I don’t think they’re gonna feel the same as infinite.

@munin yep you’re quite late and some people already started looking into alternatives.

Was in the process of adopting and updating python-bioframe today but seems like pandas needs some updating. Don’t know how long I’ll have to wait for it.

@sahil freaky. Welp I think we have a much bigger problem right now.

@lunr @gnome agreed. I currently have Debian 13 on GNOME on my thinkpad and its such a neat experience. However I'm planning to switch to MacOS soon but will still keep Linux for x64 stuff.

@gnome GNOME's Modern UI. Looks amazing. Always my go to DE on Linux. Looks better than Win 11 too

@werdahias same here. Brain's bustling with ideas but zero time to implement them :(

@praveen @prav will do

Day 3 of peak unproductivity due to a sprained leg. I've barely moved out my bed and the bone fluid doesnt seem to go away. If I don't recover by Dec 12, I have to go to MDC Navi Mumbai in a wheelchair :(

(2/2) for a challenge I decided to go all in on C by writing software in C (yes in 2025) and it turned out to be an amazing experience to my No-LLM rule. I ended up writing 2 really good software projects without using LLMs in C in the past 6 months and honestly I like C because there’s no package manager that makes things easy for you. You’re your own god, you’re given a compiler and you can build whatever you want with it. Such is the power of C.
