Dear all

So, after studying and competing in Java for years, I've finally decided to expand my horizons and learn Perl. 🐪

There is no structure. It is a lawless language to create lawless things. I love it. 🥰 😈

Wann to know what's in store for #Linux 6.11, which will be released on September 15 or 22? Then check out these two "6.11 merge window" articles from @LWN which are now freely available:

With all the data breaches and such going on lately; if anybody needs to generate new PIN numbers, I wrote a little #Python snippet that can generate reasonably pseudo random numbers.

Google Loses DOJ Antitrust Suit Over Search https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-08-05/google-loses-doj-antitrust-suit-over-search

The whole AI thing has me endlessly confused. Half the market is crashing because investors didn't see any signs of payoff in the quarterly earnings report, but I'm so lost as to what exactly they were expecting to see. Did they just not pay any attention at all to what these companies were actually doing with AI?

Were they expecting exponential Instagram usage growth as a result of Meta making it so you can have a conversation with the search bar? Or maybe everyone was going to buy 10 new Windows licenses in celebration of Microsoft announcing they want to install AI powered spyware on everyone's computer? Or was Google going to sell more ads by replacing all the search results with reddit shitposts. Either I'm missing something or everyone's 2 remaining brain cells are just really busy fighting to death for 3rd place.

They said the free public Wi-Fi is perfectly safe.

GNOME Now Has an Official Extension for Legacy Tray Icons

As part of every GNOME release (spanning GNOME Shell, Mutter, core apps, etc) is an official set of GNOME Shell extensions. This is non-default package is “a collection of extensions providing additional and optional functionality to GNOME Shell” that are developed and maintained by GNOME developers. Ubuntu, like other Linux distributions that use GNOME Shell, doesn’t seed this pack of desktop bolt-ons in its default install, but do package it and keep it in their repositories. On Ubuntu you run sudo apt install gnome-shell-extensions to get it. Most of these ‘official’ extensions are available to install from the GNOME Extensions website.

IMPORTANT NOTICE ⚠️

(Boosts appreciated)

The #Dillo package for #Debian will be removed from the repositories in two weeks.

https://github.com/dillo-browser/dillo/issues/230

The current maintainer seems to be unable to continue taking care of it, and I'm not familiar with Debian packages to maintain it myself.

Is there a Debian maintainer who could help us by adopting it? We already have a working package:
