Get up. Dust off. Yell fuck. Start again. Says Skeletor cooking up something in the kitchen and possibly not doing it very well.

New Banksy!
Royal Courts of Justice (1/2)
London

A photo of a stone wall of the Royal Courts of Justice with stenciled street art of a judge using his court gavel to strike a protestor lying on the ground with hands in the air, one hand holding a blank placard. There's blood splattered on the placard, presumably from the judge's assault. In foreground, motion-blurred there's a cyclist and judge in wig and gown on their phone going by.

@burnoutqueen @kittylyst @mhd Probably significantly cheaper and several factors more sustainable too

"Sideloading" is the rentseeker word for "being able to run software of your choosing on a computing device you purchased". There is no reasonable case for an operating system developer having a say over what programs you run on your hardware.

"Nice people made the best Nazis. Or so I have been told. My mother was born in Munich in 1934, and spent her childhood in Nazi Germany surrounded by nice people who refused to make waves. When things got ugly, the people my mother lived alongside chose not to focus on 'politics,' instead busying themselves with happier things. They were lovely, kind people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away."

@rl_dane Then Debian will say "Hold my beer here's a 64 bit hurd kernel with a shim to load drivers from netbsd!"

Debian 13 is finally the release where I can use Wayland for my day to day work. Haven't had any freezes or glitches yet, all my software works. Perhaps there's still issues that I'll hit, but it's probably at the point where the amount of papercuts and small issues are about the same on GNOME on Xorg and on Wayland, so this is probably the point of no turning back, at least for me.

Somehow landed on the NetBSD manpage of sleep(1) and they seem to have a rather unique take on what is considered a bug.

Bugs: This sleep command cannot handle requests for durations much longer than about 250 billion years. Any such attempt will result in an error, and immediate termination. It is suggested that when there is a need for sleeps exceeding this period, the sleep command be executed in a loop, with each individual sleep invocation limited to 200 billion years approximately.

@georgetakei So maybe they were. Pales in comparison with all the shit that she pulls off.

@confluency @timixretroplays I was in France earlier this month and initially I was a bit surprised to see how runny their crêpes liquid were... and yet... the crêpes came out perfectly fine!
