I like the explosive barrel. Really ties the room together.

Encryption and offsite backups. If someone nicks it then they don’t get any private information. And with backups it’s easy enough to just push the data onto a new device.

I got upset earlier today because some of my friends were better at sodokus than me. I’m supposed to be the smart socially inept one. Don’t take my smarts away. ;_;

Americans will do anything to avoid installing busses and trains.

Ubuntu 25.10 entered beta on September 18th. It releases on October 9th. It’s still in beta.

… Yeah? Beta software having bugs isn’t the hottest of takes.

I’m willing to bet that if the GNU coreutils getting bumped a minor version caused widespread issues for a day, nobody would even bother reporting in it…

Fires go out and the ashes fertilise new growth.

Have a very nostalgic theme for a very specific group of people. :P

So, to address the elephant in the room… Why does commenting on a blog post need any kind of account? Why not have fields for “name” and “comment body” and use capcha and/or manual approval to guard against spam?

Like, why does everything need to be tied to an account nowadays?

I’ve always done things bare metal since starting the selfhosting stuff before containers were common. I’ve recently switched to NixOS on my server, which also solves the dependency hell issue that containers are supposed to solve.

Nah. Those bigots are absolutely going to go off on women that happen to look the slightest bit masculine, regardless of their gender identity.

I like that they’re passionate and supporting Linux and all, but unpaid work like that should be discouraged, imo.

They’re not usually gendered here either, I more mean they’re explicitly being marked as neutral rather than just “disabled”. At my work they have a combined male+female sign on them as well as the weelchair guy. I was at a convention and they had “Gender neutral bathroom” on a printed out piece of paper stuck to them.

I’ve personally never seen any (they’re probably only down in England) but supposedly locked disabled toilets are a thing here. But you can get the keys fairly cheaply online and LGBTI charities are giving them out now.

In the UK, where bathroom bans are a thing now, I’ve seen a lot of places brand the accessible bathroom as “gender neutral” as well.

The whole situation sucks, but it’s nice seeing that people are taking steps to protect women from cunty cis women.

Average xdg noncompliance moment.

Rust and C are the same “tier” of performance, but GNU coreutils has the benefit of several decades of development and optimization that the Rust one needs to catch up with.

This would never happen if it were licensed under GPL. /s

Is the only reason they don’t have AI because they just don’t have the resources to set up and run their own models and bots?
