we heard how much you guys loved windows vista and 7 so we replaced the startup sound in the dev builds of 11 with the windows 7 startup sound

you're welcome

while we're at it:

don't fall for their "we wanna include everyone, so we're anti-DEI" bullshit

Everyone I interacted and worked with at the Debian project and the LKML judge me solely on my respectfulness and, more importantly, my contributions.

In essence, if your code is ass, your code is ass, and they gonna tell you it's ass, and usually what u need to fix.

Skin color, heritage, gender identity, born sex, sexuality, none of that has any influence on that whatsoever.

They do exactly what the X11libre maintainer pretends to do, but in case you haven't noticed, none of them feel the need to virtue signal how much they hate DEI etc. They just treat everyone equally (well, a subsystem maintainer has more trust than a one-time contributor but you get what I mean).

Or in other words: this anti DEI bullshit is exactly why they won't keep their word in terms of equality, while the other projects mentioned just do without a fuss.

@danirabbit Fuck these right-wing asshats trying to claim the cross-platform, standards-based, accesstibility-supporting window system as their cause.

We've seen this again and again and it's so tiring: discrediting things that matter by associating it with their vile bigotry.

I remember when it was "systemd in Debian is a feminist conspiracy!" 🙄 🤬

Drive them out of FOSS entirely.

For any maintainers on GitHub, I found this great free block list https://github.com/X11Libre/xserver/issues/40

“what should i do when i dont want to use systemd?”
> use systemd

I love the idea of these configurable logic gates. Only need to stock one part to implement various gate implementations, nifty for hobbyists. For commercial projects they don't really make financial sense as they are a few cents more expensive than just buying two different single use parts.

And all together:

👏 Don't 👏 design 👏 products 👏 using 👏 AliExpress 👏 modules 👏 and 👏 EOL 👏 parts. 👏

Just run into a real-world example of the Year 2038 Problem - trying to store a Unix timestamp representing 2050-01-01 in an INT column (which is 32 bits).

#Year2038 #MySQL

The system the overwhelming majority of us grew up in - parliamentary democracy, traditional capitalism - is on its way out, on the brink of self-extinction. We don't even have to fight that anymore, it's going out the door in our lifetime. The question now is whether we will have socialism or a new, worse form of plutocratic oligarchy rising from its ruins. That question will be the background for the alliances we must build and the battles we must fight.

starting the ASO (anarchist standards organization). it’s the same as ISO but all freely available and also purely by coincidence our standards all end up the same as theirs

On the other hand look at this other wikipedia image of a YIG filter. The filter itself is the right-hand piece, and don't tell me that's not a precisely laid out arcane sigil.

Ich hab heute der #oma #linux installiert.
Kubuntu.
Es taugt ihr bis jetzt und ist VIEL schneller als ihr altes Windows.

Hätt ich mir nie träumen lassen als ich 1996 mein erstes slackware zusammengepopelt habe.

Its the year of linux on grannys laptop.
