Linux has plenty of its own problems and I am not the type to push it on even adventurous nontechnical people. But I feel confident in saying that a Linux system will never get this deeply toxically screwed up. To screw up this badly two trillion dollar corporations made a pact, and thousands of resultant engineering and UX decisions, in the belief their users are cattle who do not deserve even the most basic respect. Absolutely cooked company.

A lot of people - myself included, at times - deride "not invented here", and snark that "some people can't understand systems they haven't built themselves, but...

Look at this: osnews.com/story/143376/dark-p…

Just... look at it. Look at the contortions involved. Hours of effort, by somebody deep enough in the guts of this specific stack to know Regedit and the utilman/cmd trick, just so they could log into a machine with a full drive.

How do you trust systems, or ecosystems, like this? How?

How do you build a mental model of a system where "password wrong" means "drive is full", and you can't log in to fix it, haha no, because drive is full.

How can _anyone_ be expected to navigate a world like this?

My friend @grimalkina wrote this a few weeks ago: fightforthehuman.com/why-i-can…

... and you should read it, but I have to believe that she is, as she always is, being far too kind.

Maybe "being technical" just means, "I'm willing to act like this bullshit is normal and acceptable."

Según la tradición hoy es día de simulacro de sismo y luego tener un susto por un sismo.

También se recuerda los 40 años del sismo de Ciudad Moustruo que la dejó en calidad de Ciudad Escombro.

Por poco queda como parte de la mitología urbana porque la edad de más de la mitad de los adultos de esta ciudad anda debajo de ese evento, pero en 2017 tuvimos otro no tan horrible pero que dejó una buena huella a esa cohorte.

Cómo sea, si andan en Ciudad Moustruo cooperen con el simulacro.

in reply to Guadalupe Archipielago

Los dos grandes sismos (que en realidad son tres, pero la memoria colectiva no dió para el otro) de Ciudad Moustruo también desnudan lo inútil de la estructura de gobierno para responder a estás emergencias.

El de 1985 permitió la organización popular para luego democratizar la ciudad y el del 2017 nos mostró lo mezquino de la propaganda de gobierno inventando una niña bajo los escombros de una escuela y usando a una perrita de rescate como ícono de gobierno.

Los sismos desnudan al gobierno.

Ready to "Panoramax" during Heritage Days?

Yes, Panoramax isn't just for street photos, it's also ideal for sharing photos of monuments, heritage sites, landscapes, and more.

A list of examples can be found at forum.geocommuns.fr/t/selectio….

You can take photos with your smartphone and upload them later. Just remember to check that geolocation is enabled and saved in the photos.

ahahaha. Installed Physical Memory (RAM); Value: 64.0 GB , + 6 terabytes of SSD storage with 2 M.2 NVME drives, in a box smaller than a Mac Mini with a Rizen 9 CPU that scores on-par with an M2 pro or M4. Ha. Amazed at this compactness, even if I lose graphics card upgrades that are easy to do, although again, with OCULink, I can always just, connect one externally that way. That's a project for later, though.
in reply to the esoteric programmer

@esoteric_programmer oh, it's just a cheap Chinese GMKTec little PC, figured I'd start getting into these after my desktop tower fried and I didn't see the point when most storage today is M.2 and PCIE slots are really for graphics cards these days or Wi-Fi, the latter of which you can do with M.2 anyway already. So meh. Goodbye to big 90s-style towers I guess.
in reply to the esoteric programmer

@esoteric_programmer well, in a way these are like screenless laptops, when thinking of components, although you wouldn't find OCULink on many, they're more on ASUS ROG Flow models and Lenovo ThinkBook series. But in a way, they're the same. I connected one of those 100-watt AC power battery banks to it, and with that it pretty much turns into a little travel screenless laptop, ha.

I tried the new GNOME Builder release. It looks really great! In a lot of IDEs, you can Ctrl+Click on a function name and it will take you to its definition in the code base. I couldn't find how to do this in Builder. Is it possible? (probably @chergert would know?)

I wanted to ask on the IRC channel (which is the only way to reach out the Builder community according to the website), but irc.gnome.org does not seem to work anymore?

I have traveled extensively for work.
I felt genuinely safe in most places.
Unfortunately, the US has never been one of them.
One kinds of expects being searched for weapons in many parts of the developing world, but that happening in the US felt strangely eerie.
I have not visited in 6 years. But hearing these recent events, I will not.
I don’t even have any mainstream social media presence. They would surely question me for hours.

Them: Knock knock.
Me:
Them: I said "Knock knock."
Me: I don't answer the door for strangers.
Them: But you know me!
Me: I just hear knocking. I wasn't expecting company.
Them: OK, it's me, knock knock!
Me: Why didn't you text me?
Them: You're supposed to say, "Who's there?"
Me: But I know who's there.
Them: I'm setting up a joke!
Me: Look, if you're going to yell, you can stay outside.
