House exploding into applause at the end of the show you worked hard on

Guaranteed weak-knee, must-hold-to-my-console moment

Yes. Calling this image today is super-loaded in every way: racism, white supremacy, fascism, it’s all there from BLM to the Jan 6 Insurrection.

Have you read the LKML thread where the Rust people are called “Cancer”, then slapped with “You are the problem” to end up with “we are the Thin Blue Line”? Herbst is right, it is sickening.

And what “line” is that? The last line against… Innovation? Just Stuff Moving Forward Like It Does Without Regards For Your Fragile Ego? The Dinosaurs Extinction?

Manjaro: you’re hiding all the sexyness of Arch behind a dull respectable outfit

…or you’re hiding all the naked-ass-ness of Arch which leaves you with barely more than a g-string to wear

OpenSUSE doesn’t make sense to me either.

I use Arch BTW

If you’re talking 2006 The Departed, be sure to watch the original “infernal affairs”

The princess bride

The grave of the fireflies

I couldn’t stand Shawshank, but Casablanca and Godfather are literal movie-making lessons

I hope you both are going to watch your own list as well (of which I’d only retain Spirited away I’m afraid)

“Kernel maintainer steps down” - and here I thought the dude fiercely opposed to Rust, that dinosaur vowing to fight with all his might against… a project he wouldn’t have a single line of code to maintain, ever, was the one to resign.

Instead we lost “Marcan”, Hector Martin, the lead of the Asahi Linux project, following an intervention in the drama-thread by none other than Torvalds himself, who rather than arbitrating or defusing the situation, added to it by scolding Martin with “you are the problem”.

Marcan also deleted his Mastodon account ; I am not quite sure what impact this will do on the Asahi Linux project, but fuck me sideways this all reads like unsupervised five years olds bickering in the schoolyard.

Same. Been using it for ages : nice background pic & just a calendar widget, the six shortcuts at the bottom - it’s so fast, simple, unobtrusive.

Nobody cares about you and your cheap AI-generated tentacle porn. The point here is at entreprise-level. Businesses will be legally locked down with expensive US vendors, it’s all that matters.

Infuriating thing above all that cretin protectionism is that pro use of AI stuff will consume a planet-destroying 10 30 times as much energy than needed.

One of the best films about war, of all times and genres. Incredibly powerful and, yes, quite a tearful experience.

Reading a book (hopefully)

France is 2 days away from an election which will see the Far Right grab the most seats ever in Parliament, the only question (hope really) is “will they get absolute majority or not”.

Holland fell not so long ago.

Belgium kinda holds through “sacred union” that vows to never sign an alliance with it, but at cities level it’s too late.

And Hungary is deep into it with Orban since a while now. Hungary which turn it is to lead the European Parliament (a rotating position). First political act? Go shake hands with Putin.

It’s gonna get complicated over here.

What’s getting old is continuously asking for a Linux Drive client. I will keep on whining about it, probably until the end of my subscription.

So it is not sarcasm. As I, too, am getting old I just tend to repeat myself. A lot.

Mandatory “I want a Drive Client for Linux” comment. Why should I care about features I won’t be able to access out of a cumbersome web app without even a search tool?

Also, why should I since I won’t be renewing anyway.

…sorry… work was crazy

Aw crap, completely forgot, worked another part of the building all day didn’t ever got near the exhibition rooms.

Better luck tomorrow I hope, sorry.

It does not, I know it because I have started them multiple times.

We use them as dumb players with an USB drive inserted, playing video on a loop all day long.

I’ll fetch you the ref tomorrow.

We just got 3 LG tv’s at work for an art exhibition. There’s no network available here (it’s a Napoleonic Fortress lol), and while they ask for it, dismissing all accounts/updates/online services is straightforward. You can delete all pre-installed apps (disney, netflix whatever) but LGtv and amazon. I can dig the model number tomorrow if you want.

OTOH I haven’t owned a tv since 2001.

Apple supposedly makes good hardware, and my ‘23 mbp in 14’ has excellent battery, great trackpad, very good sound and a beast of a screen. Now I don’t like whatever material these machines are made of, they are downright unpleasant to grab or touch, and the keyboard is abismal shit. I hate it, I am seriously not using it as much as I could not because Asahi, or Fedora, or bugs, or the availability of certain software for Arm64, but because of that shit keyboard. Asahi runs great, the full Pipewire sound stack developed for it is a pleasure to work on. Switch monitoring every which way, plug Firefox into Ardour and rip youtube, it all works, period.

To me M2 with 16g of ram is about on par with an intel i12 in everyday life. Sure it will win on rendering movies or some specific stuff, but day-to-day it’s like my friend’ Carbon X1 on Mint really.
