@LALegault If you're using an iPhone, you already have much larger problems.
@ubuntourist He should've called Hilary, she ran her own e-mail server and never had (technical) problems
re: covid, fosdem
I doubt a mask would help much in such a small enclosed space, unless the wearer actually has a cough or sneezes?
@tofticles Nice, I'll start writing little sex novellas everyone in my code then!
This year I miss being at FOSDEM. There's so many discussions that I'd like to have with like minded people that are just so much easier in person. I hope everyone who made it out there has a great weekend!
@bagder Well written and you get the point across very concisely! I despise those scanners too, since they end up not being very useful. On Debian, those tools don't understand that fixes get backported to stable versions and show big scary warnings where there are no problems at all.
The Debian Publicity Team will no longer post on X/Twitter. We took this decision since we feel X doesn't reflect Debian shared values as stated in our social contract, code of conduct and diversity statement. X evolved into a place where people we care about don't feel safe. You are very much invited to follow us on https://bits.debian.org , on https://micronews.debian.org/ , or any media as listed on https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Publicity/otherSN #debian
@dansup @flancian Just a protip, if you're not transphobic, then one of the last things you should say is "I'm not transphobic I have trans friends". Especially since it's possible to say something transphobic even if you didn't mean it, or even not having had a clue that something might have come across as transphobic to someone else, which is why it's usually a good idea to hear people out and find out what might have caused some hurt.

@dzu Nope, my physical monitors is obviously arranged the same now. Thanks GNOME!
Surely there's a better way to get the hot corner working on all my screens 😅
And after a lot of yak shaving and cleaning and looking for a serial mouse, I have a win98 setup up and running again. Nothing special, a 233mhz Pentium with 128MB ram and a S3 virge DX display card. I also rescued this mosaic software mouse pad from ending up in the trash earlier this year.
This is a Roland MT120s. It's a boom box and midi player which can play midi files directly from floppies. I got this one as a birthday present 2 years ago. It has quite punchy sound so it is actually nice even just to use as external speakers. Been meaning to try Monkey Island on it to see how good it's gaming playback is.
This is a Roland UM4, it converts from USB to old school external midi ports. I bought it from a retired musician in Blouberg. He took a lot of time to explain that it only works with Windows 98. Not Windows 95, not Windows Me. I plugged it into my Debian testing/Trixie machine though and it picked it up just fine.
Back in 1993 I remember some friends saying they wanted to build one of these. We were just starting to play .mod files on PC speakers, and with this mod, which is basically just a DAC consisting of bunch of resistors on the parallel port, providing surprisingly good sound. I bought this premade one called the Silly Sound Bastard but spent little time with it so far, I think this will go with one of my 386 builds.
