@nosleep Bill Hicks was a visionary! He used the expression "burn CDs" in a sense that modern people are more comfortable with.

@sai I ALWAYS do this. If you can't set year earlier than 1900 I go to web inspector and add an entry. You can also add non-existent countries and other stuff. AWESOME!!! 🤪

@r000t @graf @nosleep Bandcamp?
I still prefer CDs though. Of course listening to one using a computer is some kind of perversion, but if you have a hardware player it's really nice!

@helene Thanks!
Yes, there are issues like this here and there, but the protocol is in constant development, so there is hope 😅
Federated rooms are really complex after all. XMPP doesn't have them so it doesn't have issues like this one.
I still think we should give Matrix a chance, after all it does get better with time. And I'll choose it over Telegram and Signal any day — using phone number is just cursed! And I don't trust Telegram at all 😋

@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org True.
But it seems to me Satyu Nadella loves cloud stuff only and doesn't care enough about the rest. They've given up on Windows 10 Mobile and on idea of having their own browser engine. Xbox is sort of in decline too. If they stop pushing Windows aggressively in the consumer market (I'm okay with enterprise) they won't even be that evil.

@helene I know that both reference server implementations are extremely heavy on resources, but what's wrong with the protocol itself?

@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org But that is Microsoft we are talking about here, right? It's destined to wither and die sooner or later so this kind of thing is imminent.
Let's just hope they get generous severance paychecks and find new jobs soon.

@hacknorris Good for you!
TBH you have better chances finding something worthwhile among indie games. They are either broken beyond repair or shining masterpieces. AAA-games a most often just bland.

@Binkle 😂
Sorry, that wasn't meant to be offensive. I was more like referring to it in a Greek way. Like the astrological sign, you know.

@Binkle Was it them who created the fluffy cancer?

@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org Here! I've definitely seen a better infographic a couple of months ago, but I think I didn't save it 😢

@Houl Having blank boxes with brands writen on them in black marker will be the next step to perfection!

@hacknorris Void on the other hand, despite being maintained by a small team break like almost never. In two years only a couple of things got broken: openssh on x86, not x64 — it was broken upstream and it got patched in Void in like a couple of days. And UI for third party add-ons in Firefox running in Wayland — this one a had to patch and build manually. But it was broken in Firefox for 3 releases, definitely not Void's fault.

@hacknorris Gentoo is bad not because it's complex or hard to understand, but because everything breaks constantly. I used Gentoo everywhere 15 years ago, but had to give up on it since I had to spend half a day fixing it after every single upgrade: something starts segfaulting, you run it under gdb trying to figure out what that is, find it, rebuild the broken lib, something else breaks, you find it, rebuild it, rinse, repeat…

@hacknorris Try Void! It has pretty good (and short!) documentation that helps you make the first steps. It gets pretty straightforward once you get around basic things. If you like building from source, it has xbps-src which is pretty easy to use and the documentation is pretty straightforward too if you are not on some weird architecture.

@hacknorris @Linux_in_a_Bit Twitter has this disgusting bird, LiveJournal used to have Frank the goat. Windows has an abundance of these, the whole OS-tan thing, AFAIK, the Win7 one, Nanami Madobe was canon/official in Japan and was used in MD ads. Can't think of any Mac ones 🤔

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network @dj @nerdtronics@mstdn.starnix.network @toxic memtest86 uses linux kernel, really?!!! I was pretty sure it runs in x86 real mode and just interacts with MMU directly.

@sai @allison A tough question! Someone else from Bell Labs maybe? Don Knuth?
There aren't a lot of figures who are well known and not controversial at the same time 😅

@sai @allison Just replace him with Gates! How did he get into the good row anyway? 🤔
Must be a bribe or some other underhanded trick.

@blackmore Seriously, it is a good thing people keep their guard up, but I think this topic is overblown big-time. Schwab is no evil ringleader. I was reading Project Syndicate for years, they and WEF have kinda similar agenda, "ze bugz" is definitely not the worst bullshit idea floating around. And we had good laughs about shit sandwich in early 2010s so the whole idea for alternative source of protein is not new.
