It's been only two months. Do not assume that app development is a weekend job.

Wait, why did you zoom in on the feet?

These days, things have greatly improved.

Websites will never change their URLs today.

Why does the Linux Foundation even have a trademark process for "segmentation fault"? According to the poster on Mastodon, these words were the whole design.

As much as I loathe having to reveal this to you, the shapeliness of the hands should be semi-negligible to most people who would love to have an image created from the statement "I want to see Billie Eilish's boobs".

I do not use emojis.

"Unauthorized demonstration". Ah, democracy.

I wonder why I don't pay for Lemmy.

F

the vast amount of projects hosted there definitely won’t ever move away.

That's what they said about Sourceforge though.

ah the art of copy paste coding

Is it even legal to try and validate a gender?

Here are the things that get you banned:

• authoritarian behavior

"LibreLinux Foundation"

Religion was a bad idea.

Lemmy becoming Reddit went faster than I had thought.

I use WinRAR (as a switch from 7-Zip) because it works well enough, is fast and stable and has good compression. For me, switching to another Windows archiver would have no merit.

If there's one thing that everyone could have learned from the Snowden papers, that one thing is that you aren't "paranoid".

Ah, a horse collector.

I read a lot of music-related blogs, review sites and a few selected magazines. No online "recommendation system" needed.

Good. Vapers look like clowns with a flute.

It did not.

wink wink nudge nudge say no more!

Which I had not heard of before, so it was even insightful.

Time for Myspace to rise again!

No, it should not. IMO, defederation is toxic for the fediverse. One of the major advantages of the fediverse is that you don't have a walled garden. Don't try to make one.

Is it really a reason for pride to run a certain kernel?

Oh, come on. It wasn't that bad! At least it granted (and still grants) the freedom of choosing which VCS shall make your day harder than necessary.

Too late! Everyone has seen it!

Not being shot, at least.

Voicing your preference to have a state of Palestine that is not occupied by a different country is not quite the same thing as advocacy for genocide. Germans fought long and hard for their right to demonstrate.

Gee, I wonder whether it's possible to have zero-day exploits on Linux and 7-Zip.

Codeberg is supposedly located in the EU while not requiring self-hosting, maybe that's why.

The street fights in 1932 did not do much to prevent fascism, to say the least.

I’ve never found any reference material to confirm/deny.

It is incredibly hard to find mid-70s technical documentation on weird niche software like TECO Emacs. I mean, all of Emacs's founders are still around as far as I know, so there might be a chance to find someone on the GNU Emacs mailing lists who knows how to reach out to them. While early Unix history is preserved rather well (thanks to Doug McIlroy and Dennis Ritchie who kept quite an archive, it seems), pre-Unix history predates public interest.

I have never asked myself when exactly the Emacsen had grown said capability. Now I'm intrigued myself!

Mostly, mg.

And realistically (...) there is no reason to ever use *BSD in a modern system.

In my very personal opinion, there are a few not entirely unimportant advantages to using OpenBSD over Linux (and I suppose users of the other free BSDs have similar lists, but I no longer use any other free BSD):

• Culture. Basically, "shut up and hack". Not wasting the time of project members with dissolute thoughts about social interference, but devoting themselves exclusively to improving the technology so far, leads to the fact that (much like NetBSD) all sorts of technical achievements came out of OpenBSD, including OpenSMTPD, OpenSSH and LibreSSL. Linux to me often seems more like a support group than a technical project.
• Predictability. The Linux community seems to constantly need new completely different approaches to everyday things. The systemd debacle with numerous reports of computers no longer starting (or shutting down) is not yet over, and there is already debate about the now-but-really future of the desktop. Many Linux distributions do not know anything like an "upgrade", the normal approach to a new version is "download the installation DVD and start it". In OpenBSD it is essentially three commands (sysupgrade, reboot, sysmerge) - and it has never happened to me that after rebooting I was suddenly sitting in front of a completely different system. Yes, all this may not be cool - but predictability seems to me to be a not entirely irrelevant feature (also and especially for large companies).
• History. Linux is a clone of Minix, which is itself essentially a clone of BSD, which was not yet free software in 1991. You might as well use the original, right? ;-)

edit: See also my previous answer for further advantages.

To quote Linus Torvalds:

If 386BSD had been available when I started on Linux, Linux would probably never had happened.

The GPL licence is not a free licence, rather the opposite. But let's assume that the licence debate is actually relevant: Why should a company that needs to make money selling software be "antiquated" simply because (for example) some of its algorithms are trade secrets?

At least they're less obvious about it.
