Today is a great day to learn about Debian.

It's far from perfect, but by golly once you learn it it's pretty sweet. Highlights:

• Everything is transparent, sometimes painfully so
• Debian isn't a company
• You still have apt, so deb packages still probably work
• Flatpak makes desktop use easy
• Hate updates? Debian only releases a major new version every two years.
• Nobody is ever, ever, ever going to sell you "Debian Pro"

If Ubuntu's got you down today, I dare you: give Debian a try.

okay if we need to have a may the 4th take, I'll share my usual one: it's too bad they ran out of money and never made a sequel to The Last Jedi. a flawed movie in many respects but "Let the past die, kill it if you have to" is the lesson that Star Wars needs to learn more than anything else and if they ever *do* make a sequel that teaches it, I'm sure it will be wonderful

@treyhunner not linking this as a reply because I am not sure why I felt compelled to do this and it may be a bit confusing to your target audience, but; I prefer to treat things as expressions rather than early returns when I can, to wit::

def is_prime(candidate: int) -> bool:
factors = (n for n in range(2, candidate) if candidate % n == 0)
return next(factors, None) is None

I’m just saying it’s REALLY telling how *intensely* racist the US is when there are states *in the middle of an active primary* that are shutting it down so they can redistrict to prevent Black people from representation because SCOTUS said it’s OK to do a racism.

This is like racism speedruns.

Goatfuckers

Once again it’s demonstrated that the biggest fans of AI coding are formerly senior engineers who have fallen behind and are struggling for relevance and hoping the giant random shit generator in the cloud will help close the gap for them. It won’t. :subtoot:

“The venerable Notepad++ text editor began as a more capable version of the classic Windows Notepad. It was created in 2003 by Don Ho, who continues to be its primary author and maintainer, and it has been a Windows-exclusive app throughout its existence.

I’m not a devoted user of the app, but I was aware of its history, which is why I was surprised to see news of a ‘Notepad++ for Mac’ port making the rounds last week.

Apparently, this news surprised Ho as well, who claims that the Mac version and its author, Andrey Letov, are ‘using the Notepad++ trademark (the name) without permission.’”

It's also fucking hilarious when you have an environment variable with a non-UTF-8 byte in it.

@blogdiva The methane-breathing space aliens of the media conglomerates resent that physical venues exist, and want us all to be interchangeable cogs to deliver the "last mile" of Livenation Extruded Entertainment Product pink slime, so habituating people to watching big TV screens does track.

I flew it once, while on book tour, because it was the only way to get out of Oakland for my next destination. It was cheap, uncomfortable and dispiriting, no pun initially intended, and I was glad not to have had to fly the airline again. Now I won't ever have to. It's not a great situation for people who relied on the airline or its employees, but also not a surprise.

Anyone know a good way to bulk-buy lithium battery packs to charge phones in the US? Unhoused folks need them since opportunities to charge are limited, as is the battery life of the kinds of phones they can afford. Quantity 10-ish, but if anyone in #Pittsburgh wants to go in on a bigger buy I'd be down.

@adele a ajouté la localisation en français (ainsi que en, es et de) dans son client web #Fediverse léger #SmolFedi

C'est une appli web écrite en php, sans javascript côté client et qui fonctionne plutôt bien. La dernière version, en français si ça vous intéresse, est vraiment pas mal. Ça s'installe sur n'importe quelle stack web PHP/sqlite. Vous pouvez y jeter un œil sur l'instance de demo : https://smolfedi.pollux.casa/
