I'd appreciate it if everyone could just stop burning fossil fuels, please. Thank you for your cooperation.

  • Okay Google, if you can guess my age accurately to within a decade based on my youtube viewing history and whatever other data you can get, I will give you a cookie.

  • What are some of the non-technical parts of the fediverse that appeal to you?

  • Intel's Newest Open-Source Project Is "Polite Guard"

    Jump

  • Dear Intel, may your politeness detection software meet with every success. I am sure that it will significantly boost customer satisfaction and loyalty, and help everyone to maintain a respectful tone.

    Such technology could in the long run be crucial in improving our means of communications and will have only positive effects on everyone who has the good fortune to interact with it. By preventing misunderstandings it might even contribute to world peace, and in some small way help in bringing about a new golden age of politeness and prosperity for all humanity.

    Sincerely, a loyal fan.

  • Space:1999 is underappreciated.

  • Is there an easier way forward for rust in linux?

    Jump

  • Trump says he will take on paper straws with executive order

    Jump

  • Wimpy effeminate plastic straws? Ha! Real men use metal straws. Tin/lead if that's all you can afford, or depleted uranium if you're a real player.

  • Which season should one with no prior knowledge of star trek start from?

    Jump

  • If you're over 40 years old, the original from 1966. Otherwise it depends on your sensibilities. If classic men with rockets boldly exploring stuff feeling is too much, TNG is the popular choice these days I think. Personally my second favourite (after TOS) is Voyager.

  • It's amazing how you can be wrong in so many ways in just one sentence.

  • "Behold, a Linux maintainer openly admitting to attempting to sabotage the entire Rust for Linux project". Thoughts on this post from Marcan?

    Jump

  • In this thread, much the same as in any discussion of the topic, we learn that Rust is vital to the survival of the Linux kernel and we're surely doomed without it, and that the absence of languages other than C in the Linux kernel is the only thing preventing the demons of chaos from arising to tear our souls to shreds and we must remain pure.

    Does the Fediverse give you hope?

    Jump

  • There are a few specific people on fedi who do give me hope.

  • As expected, the long-awaited ntsync has made its way into kernel 6.14.

    Jump

  • ... and by the time I can copy and paste that from the git log, Phoronix already has a post about it.

  • Help the poor! (by cutting taxes for the rich)

    Fix social media! (by forcing them to allow hate speech)

    Stop the war! (by forcing Ukraine to surrender)

    Fight inflation! (by imposing tariffs on everything)

  • What systemd really needs is a Doom-based UI, so I can run up to named and kick it when necessary, and track down systemd-resolved to exterminate it.
