@rbreich And on top of that, when Black Americans did build up prosperous communities, they were often attacked and destroyed. Remember #Tulsa #Greenwood in 1921, #PalmSprings Section 14 in 1959, Bruce's Beach in 1927, and so many other cases.

There is a certain "warrior culture" of coding, where young devs spend long hours deeply focused on creating "epic" software, and coders age out rapidly. This has upsides and downsides. There are other cultures of coding too, but this warrior culture created large swathes of computing as we know it, and the culture is still embedded. #Java and #Windows are examples. Bill Gates hasn't contributed code to Windows since 1985. #Python shows a different culture, the old are still contributing code

@Werhaus Yeah I think that is a great idea for regulation that can really provide a lot of benefits.

@robryk @rysiek Yuengling is a 200 year old American brewery. They transliterated the name from the German Jüngling. Americans can actually pronounce it decently on average, e.g. not "Djung-ling"

@isaaccp @rysiek That reminds me of hearing native Spanish speaking Californians asking for directions: "Donde esta the one oh one?". The highway numbers have become names rather than numbers: Ceuanouan.

I'm sad to say that my new #laptop still needs non-free firmware blobs for working WiFi, Bluetooth, audio, and power management. Now #Debian will include those in the installer. Are we losing this #FreeSoftware fight? At least the graphics driver is #free and included in upstream Linux, that is progress. I specifically avoided #nvidia for that purpose.

How are others feeling on the firmware blob fight?

Everything was clearly better in the past, we can't even get #radioactive toothpaste anymore!

@mcopelov That is super scary to me because this is not a pivot away from supporting war, instead the EU will just be supporting the next #IraqWar #AfghanWar #LibyaWar #VietnamWar etc

One effect of the #UkraineWar is that it gives the #US #UK #NATO #Saudi etc a case to use to rehabilitate the idea they focus on: that military power is a force of good. #AfghanWar #IraqWar #LibyaWar #YemenWar provided a template for #Putin to follow. This is really not discussed enough because people want to support Ukraine in this difficult time, but it must always be part of any discussion of providing military support. Kudos to #politico for running this political cartoon linking these.

@fribbledom @surendrajat A lot of us are running Google-free these days, unfortunately that means we have slimmer coverage for Google devices, though I'm guessing a majority of our users run Google devices. That could be a factor here.

@fribbledom @surendrajat the key is providing enough information that a developer can reproduce the issue locally. Granted, that's often difficult. Without reproducing the issue locally, fixing bugs is basically just guesswork. That issue is a good example of not having enough information to reproduce, though people have posted some info.

@fribbledom @surendrajat please file an issue so we can follow up on it: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/-/issues

For most bugs, 90% of the work of fixing it must come from the affected person, since it is about describing how to reproduce the bug, and providing follow up info. I rarely see bugs or crashes like this on my own devices since the ones I encounter over the years, I have fixed. We want to fix all the bugs, but we need people to report them, and provide detailed info.

@legind Yeah, I think the static site generator mode is useful only for content that is shown to users that are not logged into Wordpress. For it to work well, all info required for showing a page must be in the URL.
