Where do we get it?
It's early to be thinking about this, but after Apple, what options are there? I'll never go back to Microsoft. (I pray I don't have to eat those words.) Linux ain't for the weak of heart, so I just read.

Quick-ish note about Trump's "TRUTH" network maybe getting sued by the Mastodon project. The Mastodon people don't like Trump, and that's a great reason to attack him, but in this particular case, assuming the publicly stated dispute is truthful, TRUTH is violating Mastodon's copyright license.

If I had a time machine, I'd go back and tell myself to learn C before ever touching C++.
John Sandeman's op-ed on talking to each other carefully as we come out of covid lockdowns is a thoughtful and very relatable read:

Meanwhile, microsoft has a **maximum** length of 16 you can use for your account there...
@AnotherStag
When was the press release given?
I think it is a great achievement to get banned for life on Facebook If I still had an account, it would be the perfect way to cut ties with the toxic platform

Hats off to you, sir Barclay!
If you’re wondering what authoritarian technology futures look like, here’s an example from North Cyprus. This is a message from The Information Technologies and Communication Authority telling me I can use my device (IMEI number sent in the clear in the text) for 90 days without registering it (something I first encountered in Turkey years ago). Also note, they took a copy of my passport while buying the prepaid SIM card (something they also do in Belgium).
The dystopian future is now.

What about "Most deadly vaccines of my lifetime"?
@aral
It's called the wrap dependency system in meson.
@aral
When I built valent (a GTK4 application in C) using meson, it seemed to have detected that I didn't have libadwaita installed, and cloned and built that from source.

Not even the slightest bit upset at her.
> doctors have insisted her illness and her blood clot are unrelated to the vaccine.
Umm... but aren't the vaccines already associated with blood clots.
> it’s all about weighing up the risks,
So true. I hope she makes it out alive. Maybe taking the vaccine at a different time would have resulted in fewer problems, but I'm skeptical that 'earlier' would have helped.
@outsider@pdx.social
Just be realistic about what the vaccines do and who should get them. Take heart, rejoice in knowing the truth is on your side.
> this itself is an indictment of vaccine efficacy as both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals possess the ability to spread the Delta variant.
Happy to meet you wherever you are on your journey (software or spiritual)
