@niyabits that's great. I hope you get the job and move out to a place that's more accepting. I don't plan on working in India either.
@werdahias @mirabilos yep I think I was the only one who supported slop ban in that thread. Sad to see slop making its way into debian. Maybe you could start a new thread about it. Hoping we can come up with a resolution to ban slop. Like I said in that email; debian has no business with slop because we aren't a corporate company to please shareholders or ship broken stuff.
@niyabits don't you need something like C1 in German to work in Germany though?
Day 8 of consistent bad and light sleep. Feeling exhausted at. I haven't slept properly in a week.
@khubsuratinsaan I wish they didn't do that free bus shit here. Buses are very congested as the infrastructure wasn't meant for it. I had to stop using bus services because of it. Irony is that they lost the confidence of people who actually pay for the service, I know a lot of people who prefer Indian Railways now. I myself prefer Indian Railways over our state bus services.
The curl project stops their bug bounty:
"We have concluded the hard way that a bug bounty gives people too strong
incentives to find and make up "problems" in bad faith that cause overload and abuse."
Just uploaded my first Debian Package directly to Debian archive as a Debian Maintainer \o/
Hello internet friends, it's rough out there so I found y'all some tech jobs that have positive (or at least, less evil) impacts on the world. Here's a thread of what I've found for you this week ⬇️
"Corporations who make billions from FOSS should give back their fair share"
vs.
"Don't ever take money from the evil corporation, it will corrupt FOSS"
round 103828483, FIGHT!

@billchenchina US has been rejecting visas a lot recently. My family applied for a visa for a trip back in 2018 but it got rejected twice iirc. I’m afraid it’s a lot worse now.
@till curious, can I sign in with my GitHub on this and sync all of my themes and extensions?
My first day with MacBook summed up in one sentence: Amazing piece of advanced technology but has a deep learning curve than any piece of tech I’ve ever used in my life.
Me to a random imaginary windows user: if Linux feels hard for you to use, try using macOS you’ll immediately love Linux.
@fbinin yes it’s hard to escape tracking when I’m on a proprietary system but I can limit it to some extent by using free software stuff. Windows however has a really aggressive tracking policy and with the OS becoming crappy and unusable I had to make the switch
@fbinin I’ve been using apple stuff for like 8 years now. All of my android and windows devices had severe hardware issues within just one year. My iPhone 5s from 2017 outlasted every device I had in the past. I mostly look at longetivity of a device when I buy something. Apple usually has the longest from my experience with also decent software support. That said I still windows + linux on my thinkpad
I also installed a crap ton of free software on my Mac ranging from homebrew to Inkscape. Contrary to the popular belief you can actually do a lot of stuff on Mac. You cannot tinker with the internals but you can still install free software on it. The lack of tinkering is a plus point for me because Linux gives you too many options to rice your DE and that honestly wasted a lot of my time. I still use Linux on my old thinkpad btw. It’s never leaving my life
Just got my MacBook Air M4 and it’s honestly a decent purchase. With this I’m entirely out away from Microslop’s ecosystem. Fuck them.
