I really need some wise friends that don't know any of my other acquaintances and friends so I could have people I can truly talk to cause sometimes I feel like shit and I can't tell anyone I know.

Sort of related, since I started using Mastodon I'm feeling better sometimes because I get to exchange some ideas with nice people. Y'all are cool. I like you.

Gosh, using efficient lightweight OS/SW really ruins using anything else for me. I'm so used to everything I do being instantaneous even on modest hardware that any delays while using other bloated OSs/DEs is super annoying.

Nazi Germany didn't just use the gas chambers out of nowhere. They first deliberately denied food, water, & medical services to the people in the concentration camps.

Then, when the conditions became so horrid that they risked infecting the outside world, the Nazis decided to "put them out of their misery" because they "didn't have the resources to take care of them".

They let it reach critical mass and then did a "mercy killing".

Weird how most "crimes against humanity" are crimes with a finite number of victims, but crimes like fossil fuel profiteering or the destruction of the rainforest, where humanity itself is the victim, aren't actually crimes at all

A few peeps may remember I shared progress wiring this blue beast which is now on the cover of the NZV8 magazine.

Kinda stoked I get to work on things like this, even if it is a headache and sometimes stressfull at the time. The end result is awesome.

I’d share the whole article, but seeing as it’s current release I won’t. Copyright etc.
You can however see his DJR XE which I wired a few years ago here: http://www.themotorhood.com/themotorhood/2017/9/1/modern-tribute-djr-replica-xe

Nordics know what im talking about

A few hours and ~200 lines of #C code later, I built something that already resembles a #roguelike, including character movement and a trivial level generator.

This was basically an exercise in curses programming, now I wonder if I should give it a try to build an actual game on this foundation.

#roguelikedev

I think a lot of projects would be improved if the devs knew to stop while they were ahead

OOoof yesterday was the year day of the torture and murder of 14 year old John Hron by fascists.

24 years ago and a few hours a boy escaped by swimming out into the lake Ingetorpssjön in the middle of the night, but when his friend was threatened he swam back to save him - he was caught, tortured for hours and then murdered and thrown in the lake to drown.
His friend survived.

It's #screenshotsunday somewhere right? Haven't posted one of these for a while... Here are my #Xubuntu Laptop and Desktop setups. #unixporn #xfce

Neovim has adopted builds.sr.ht for OpenBSD CI 🎉 welcome to Sourcehut!

With Blender and Krita becoming seriously competitive with their proprietary alternatives, we're finally eroding away a major cornerstone of proprietary operating systems and software

Anyone here (I guess most of you) having their own NAS? How secure is it and how easy can it be secured?

I’m thinking of buying Synology to move all my personal files, photos and etc on it.

"This tutorial is meant to be understandable to all new users, so if you found something unclear, don't sit and blame yourself - complain!"

I've always liked that line

One of my favorite things to see in a terminal doing an upgrade:

11 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 14.5 MB of archives.
After this operation, 5,120 B disk space will be freed.

Remember: in 1968 NYC garbagemen struck and within a week, the city's mayor was on his knees begging for mercy. It lasted all of 8 days.

Then, two years later in Ireland, bankers went on strike for *6 months* and the economy kept on growing and history has largely forgotten it even happened.

Capitalists need you more than you need them.

I've asked about this before but my wife would be interested in a mom instance, if you know any moms on here who might like to have a mom alt, we'll spin something up

@wezm I have a unconventional view on software design, and you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who agrees with me on everything. But these philosophies are the source of innovation and have led to the production of software that you seem to enjoy. If you were to bubble yourself in from ideas that contradict your ideology, then what're are you giving up?

It's no skin off my back if you chose to end your subscription. Just my 2c on your way out.

Today I read about Disneys "Go Away Green". A shade of green-gray designed to be the least visible colour in their parks and used to hide away things that need to be in the open, but you want people disinterested in.
