Nobody cares about it, but I’ve been a straight-edge for 35 years and counting. No drugs, no booze, not even cranking the hog. On the other hand though, I can’t afford anything fun anyways, neither on money, time, or the less-known ethical implications (haven’t been able to watch a movie in years, for instance)
No, for the simple reason that I still can’t consider I’m friends with myself
Fair reason to rename the project, but isn’t it reasonable to consider it already too tainted by historic association and requiring a delisting instead?
Judging from the last tweet, little bro would be 20 today, I wonder if he grew up to be a nice man.
Carcinization and cancerization!
Ah yes, the Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor of franchises
Not quite my case. I’m more of “Mmm, that was the best work I could do, and somehow it’s still not good enough?!”
Nearly everyone else in a team I work on decided to leave along with their boss, so guess who’s left with the knowledge
Both developers have been actively hostile to DEI initiatives, and at least on the case of DHH, also coddling with ultranationalism viewpoints.

On DHH: tekin.co.uk/2025/09/the-ruby-c…
Considering that the two projects funded by Cloudflare are headed by known bigots (Andreas Kling and DHH), it makes me distrust Cloudflare even further.
I should probably go get a replacement screen for my old OnePlus 3T, while I still can…
Just added my Friendica instance, but it will take a while to ping back because of a long backlog I’m dealing with.
Back on Reddit, there were even complaints that EA’s anticheat was conflicting with Riot’s anticheat. Yep, now you potentially need two different installations of Windows to run each of your games. At this point, you would need to buy several SSDs and a SSD extension (or an external USB reader, since USB speeds nowadays are relatively fast enough to afford running those games from an external drive), then install each game (and operative system) in a different one, and swap between them before booting, just like a cartridge. Same would go, of course, for your actual main GNU/Linux drive that contains your actual personal data - that way, the anticheat can’t even see your personal information, as it’d physically unplugged from your computer. And since Windows checks the license per motherboard, not per drive, you should be able to recycle the activation key between your Valorant “cartridge” and your Battlefield “cartridge”. At this point, paying for a dedicated game console and the online pass starts becoming attractive…
…That, or just boycott multiplayer games altogether. If your group of friends doesn’t mind, of course.
Even better: add a second USB-C port, so we can use a wired headphone and a charger at the same time.
Samsung, being the largest manufacturer of South Korea, has an incentive to keep their production as in-house as possible. Which is why they’re reluctant to license technology that they can build themselves, such as cameras.
Flatpak being securely sandboxed by default is both its biggest strength and its worst point of contention. The XDG is still scrambling to replicate the permission requests paradigm from Android on the Linux desktop.
That reminds me, is Flatpak packaging CLI tools already?
I’d settle for that solution anyways, but only as long as users can still mix and match kernels (one for secure boot and games that require anti-cheat, and another for custom hardware)
Which is why I prefer the MacOS approach better - instead of relying on the developer adding a hypervisor, Apple uses binary signatures for all the relevant system files which are attested via something similar to Secure Boot, plus an Apple-provided API for runtime attestation, to ensure that the system has not been touched since boot. I suspect that Valve’s assistance in making Arch Linux builds reproducible is pointing towards that goal.
Not sure if it’s a good idea to start at this point in life, especially since I have no friends, no prospect of dating in the short to middle term, and a carefully curated life to avoid the libido from making things worse for my loneliness.
