Which covers this post from a wheelchair user who had to hack his wheelchair to get basic features:

Eep. The default console in GNOME is taking up like 200 MB of ram for a single tab. The bloat Linux distros are okay with having in their core runtime is unfortunate. Might need to redo my OS yet again after spending all this time tinkering with it. 🤷

Strongly considering getting some pamphlets printed about the fediverse to hand out to folks since literally nobody (figuratively speaking) seems to know about it.

See if I transpile everything to common lisp it'll be easier to do code analysis for tracibility accross data pipelines and programming langiages.

My hot take is I kinda like the marketing stuff corpos do for april fools. The razor gaming chair tentacles were fun.

The shutdown is also exactly why communities should be investing in tooling. Had they gone with a fully distributed model there would be no central service to close and the communities using it could have kept doing so regardless of Mozillas involvement. Instead they went "cloud native" and initially relied on a specific cloud platform which basically locks everyone into a final shutdown regardless of who "owns" the cloud.

Are you experienced with GTK and Rust ? :gnome: ❤️ :rust:

We are looking to contract someone to work on the new GNOME Password Manager 🔑

We want it to become a core/default app and help secure millions of users.

You'll be working with the GNOME Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to building emancipatory technologies for everyone.

Please send resume / portfolio to stf@gnome.org

Boosts welcome :boost_love:

A thread from tumblr; * My old person trait is that I think a website should work in a web browser and not try to open an app * My old person trait is I think video games should work without needing access to the internet. * My old person trait is that I think when I purchase a product, that it should be complete and functional and also that I should actually own it. * My old person trait is that I think I should be able to talk to an actual person in order to resolve issues with my bills without waiting on hold for 30+ minutes.

So, kids, what's the moral of the XZ story?

If you're going to backdoor something, make sure that your changes don't impact its performance. Nobody cares about security - but if your backdoor makes the thing half a second slower, some nerd is going to dig it up.

@glyph @eb I'm frustrated that big tech's efforts to increase core library security are "your project is too popular, you must use 2FA" and "the best reverse engineers in the world will find your bugs and put you on a 90 day disclosure deadline" and not "here is $100K/year and benefits to keep doing what you're doing at your own pace."

What's the point of getting Youtube Premium when all the good youtube channels shove "sponsor messages" into their videos anyway.

Imagine you’re writing a book and on page 345 you make a grammar error. The paragraph becomes completely ineligible, and the whole plotline you had going falls apart. Now the ink smears and whole pages turns black, and actually the book catches fire and you cannot touch it without it bursting into flames.

This is what programming is like.
