No, thanks! I am happy with tried and tested Debian or Arch Linux. Lmao. Yes, this is my honest opnion as someone using Linux since 1994 when most of these new age people were not even born or were still on Windows or Apple ecosystems.

Remembering that the Carpentries turned down a big pile of US government money last year rather than violate their values. https://carpentries.org/blog/2025/06/announcing-withdrawal-of-nsf-pose-proposal/
It takes character to make that kind of decision knowing the potential consequences. All the admiration to the Carpentries, Dr. Kari L. Jordan, and Dr. Erin Becker.
Sneak preview of a not-yet-production-quality contribution to Mines. I expected this particular mode to be brain-meltingly confusing, and it is, but not for quite the reasons I'd guessed.
Why aren't the paredit navigating keys the same as the combobulate navigating keys the same as the org-element navigating keys? #emacs

@andrewnez I have almost 2x the number of todos compared to 8h ago when Monday began 🙈
@tariii I guess my dare to you is... when you see a video... ignore it.
Heads up! In #curl 8.23.0 (end of October 2026) SMB(S) support will be gone.
@bagder Oh, this one I had missed. I hope none of the customer of $DAYJOB use smb/smbs URLs any longer, I think we touted it as a feature a decade or so ago... :-)
@adamgreenfield stop sounding like an AI bot. Democracy has only one definition.
@mikebabcock This is how I actually talk, brother. And I think you’ll find that “democracy” has as many definitions as participants thereof.
@thomasfuchs I think I remember these… weren’t they paired with the //c?
"I've been deployed for over nine months, out at sea in the Middle East aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, fighting for a country that has given me everything," Joshua Aviles, the son of the detained immigrant, said on Facebook.
"I just got a call that my dad was taken by ICE," he said on Saturday, adding his father had his driver's license, social security card and work permit."

sarah bond is behaving remarkably similar to a "woman" who DMed me earlier. i was suspicious of her, but seeing the similarity in behavior, now, I am now certain they are both robots. asked where I lived. said she lived nearby. didn't say anything of substance.
(I blocked Sarah Bond)
Years ago, I built a website for a local motorcycle shop. I just checked, and they're still using it, completely unchanged. Which is nice because, if you look at the source code, you can still see the image of the children's quad bikes with the filename 'deathtraps.jpg'
@adamgreenfield aside from historically terrible treatment of native reserves (which is a different issue in many ways), no. Consider a famous example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walkerton_E._coli_outbreak
I think my friends in #Canada can help @mikebabcock out here? Organized abandonment is not merely something historical, A, and B the historical past isn’t even the past.

wow, this takes me waaaaaaaaay back. I remember the original track coming out when I was in uni. the synth always sounded like the theme tune to the TV show "Bugs".
From "640 KB ought to be enough for everyone" to "640 KB is the maximum you can afford". #ThanksAI :)
is it almost friday?
“That’ll be 10 billion please”
