Well, you kind of can actually. It just replaces KWin

This sounds like the sort of infrastructure project the Linux Foundation should be supporting.

It’s easy once you realize that it’s talking about the river – the water flows from uphill to downhill. Quebec is downhill of Ontario.

No but I have an expired bottle of T3s from a wisdom tooth extraction a decade ago. What could possibly go wrong?

No problem. We will solve our housing crisis by building everything out of concrete then – an even higher emitter.

Yeah, CIBC is pestering me too. “Lock in early and get a special rate!”. Aka, I still have two probable quarter points before renewal…

I don’t understand how authoritarian leaning conservatives and free speech absolutists align most of the time.

This is such an interesting development. I bet a lot of dirty laundry is about to be aired.

Sure, it’s just another tarball to compile and install, right? What do you mean lots of dependencies? Oh, well, I guess there is Krita :)

That article is light on implemention details. It talks a lot about the legislation itself, and ways in which it might be implemented.

Pot – kettle

If we’re in string freeze, it’s probably within a few weeks. They’re in bug squashing and translations mode now. I’d take that bet.

Yes, but how. The details matter

One time, many moons ago, when I was a young a naive student: I dared to counter protest a student union led protest that I disagreed with. I was polite, non-distuptive, and some distance away from the group.

I got reported to campus security for irrational behaviour by someone, which then caused them to go digging. I had been writing editorials for the campus newspaper and they were in the newspaper offices trying to dig up dirt (my editor let me know).

I have no idea whether there is such as thing as due process and such when dealing with campus security (they aren’t really police), but at the time I felt violated. I was expressing a political opinion in the most democratic way I could, and someone gunned for me in response. I don’t blame security for doing their job, I blame whomever maliciously contrived a report to make them act.

That said, this story is clearly written slanted towards the ACAB angle. I think more digging is required by the journalist here. What was the actual perceived threat.

(And yes, ecoterrorism is a thing, so perhaps there were concerns, real or imagined.)

Bug doesn’t know where grass is. Is this grass?

Is this unmodded? I’ve never played it, and this screenshot alone intrigues me enough…

This guy is actually perched on the fibreglass frame of some pretty expensive scientific equipment. Hopefully he remains a passive feature ;)

I can hear this photo

As a former slackware aficionado, I’d have to say that the general mood of the users and development team was super chill. Hell, the name slackware comes from “slack”, the goal of the Church of the SubGenius. The whole thing is a meme that’s been going steady for decades.

I had the privilege of meeting Patrick and much of the core Slackware group at the KDE 4.0 release party. They are all awesome.

I can expect that users that tolerate the Slackware style are also those that are pretty laid back to begin with. Probably they were happier people already, and using slackware just vibes with them.

Salt mines are so awesome. They’re usually room and pillar, so they’re the closest we get to the Mines of Moria. Plus they are almost always bright white inside, unlike most metal mines.
