It's honestly hard to believe the events of 2020 in the US actually happened. It's like a fever dream.

@IceWolf @foone yeah, let's all continue to use an eldritch abomination of a server and protocol to run all WMs, using more extensions than years since it went into maintenance mode so that it can at least pretend to function like a modern compositor, just because some DEs haven't yet fully agreed on protocols outside its scope.

Why stop there, let's force everyone to write programs to run under some shitty pre-defined runtime from the '80s because heavens forbid some may have different APIs and certainly won't agree on them ever.

@IceWolf @foone the year is 2030, people are still whining that Wayland is non-functional by design because some aspect of X11 that isn't even in the scope of the protocol doesn't work like in the old days. Meanwhile the rest of the population uses Wayland-based WMs.

@blake @whynothugo from what I've seen they forked Synapse away from the Matrix foundation's version to do that, this has nothing to do with the protocol itself.

@heatdeath is that recent jobs list written in Javascript perchance?

I like to laugh at americans that they're worse at writing in their language than non-native speakers, but English itself is at least as much at fault as their poor education system. Why would you have "than" and "then" that are spoken exactly the same but have different meanings? I don't think there are many languages that would be worse as an international standard than that randomly mixed inbred dumpster fire for which the relation between written characters and phonemes they represent is a vague suggestion at best.

@Linux_in_a_Bit there absolutely is "viral" on the Fediverse. The same it was before algorithmic content selection. The term originally meant something spreading like wildfire due to being exponentially shared between people and that's how viral posts on the fedi work.

London: shuts down pop-up urinals because they killed or injured too many people
This startup: fine, I'll do it myself

Unix philosophy: make a program that does one thing well

Linux users: ok so if you want to copy a directory preserving metadata, you should use this sophisticated remote sync program with its own protocol for communicating on sending and receiving side, compression in transit and a thousand other options

I know it's just practical to maintain this one tool that covers all of this related functionality, but every time I use `rsync` for non-remote stuff I feel like I'm taking an excavator to pull out a nail.

Same with `wget`, and probably there's a lot more programs that have *much* larger capabilities than the simple tasks I use them for and I don't even know it.

The intro mission to MGRR is a masterpiece. I don't think any game has ever sold me on itself so fast, I knew it's a meme but not the extent of its over the top Rule of Cool shenanigans.
