@retr0id it says we're 90% of the way there in the text above the clock, some weird math error?

As good a day as any to remind myself that the way most of us has been taught the size of countries is misleading as hell.

very bad fedi software feature idea and likely wouldn't work, also im probably not the first one to think of this
exile user
admin can forcefully migrate a user to a specific instance (including the blocklisted ones)
users can also vote to exile other users
the user could be exiled forever or for a specific time period after which they would be able to migrate back
would be very funny :trolley:

This is not a content warning, but it's a fair warning. Don't drink nor eat when reading this thread. Also, don't read it if you need to keep straight face for any reason.
YHBW.

The indent war according to space propoents: tabs vs spaces
The indent war actually: tabs vs 2 spaces vs 4 spaces vs 3 spaces
Damn, if only we had a character that can have its width adjusted to fit one's visual preferences.

It's incredible how often on social media people complain about public replies to their public posts.

🇬🇧In response to my complaint, Europol admits mistakes when employees switched to #ChatControl surveillance tech provider Thorn. Internal rules were disregarded without consequences. Europol promises reforms. However, the checks for conflicts of interest would need a fundamental overhaul to exclude pro-surveillance lobbying by ex-employees.
Audit report: https://www.ombudsman.europa.eu/en/doc/inspection-report/en/192216
If you don't already know, make sure you read the scandalous original stories on the #ChatControl file and how commercial interests are entangled with state security and political actors to push for destroying the secrecy on correspondence online:

the community: a sentient trashbag and fucking ice cream are shit design that looks like a satire of itself
gamefreak: oh, you want a return of the second worst designed generation?
Yes, that's exactly the point, GF being as in touch with the community as always. Please give us more charizards.

Announcing: Frog Protocols for Wayland 🐸
Let's create Wayland Protocols but much more iterative.
Wayland Protocols has long had a problem with new protocols sitting for months, to years at a time for even basic functionality.
This is hugely problematic when some protocols implement very primitive and basic functionality such as frog-fifo-v1, which is needed for VSync to not cause GPU starvation under Wayland and also fix the dreaded application freezing when windows are occluded with FIFO/VSync enabled.
We need to get protocols into end-users hands quicker! The main reason many users are still using X11 is because of missing functionality that we can be shipping today, but is blocked for one reason or another.
Check out the repo here! https://github.com/misyltoad/frog-protocols
and the Mesa MR that adds support for frog-fifo-v1 to fix these issues and goes into much more detail: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/31329/
@Hyolobrika to some level, yes. But defamation is much simpler, since it has a direct target and can be easily proven wrong.
@Hyolobrika and critical thinking 1) is rare and pretty much impossible to "teach" most of society in current cultures and 2) doesn't even work that well for people trained in it, our monkey brains are too susceptible to biases.
@Hyolobrika absolutely. People will not only instantly believe defamatory lies that confirm their current opinion, suspicion or general worldview, but will also resist any attempts to refute them. A threat of severe consequences and a requirement for official retractions are the only way to keep them at a sane level.

@tauon@possum.city The Minecraft movie should instead just be an extented version of whatever this is and I would actually want to watch it I think.
