Did you know that #XScreenSaver (yes, the collection of screensavers for X11) is available on Android?

And that #Google requires it to have a privacy policy in order to be available in the Play Store?

And that the maintainer chose to crowd-source a privacy policy where every item starts with "Unlike Google"?

It's become a great list of all the privacy violations Google did and still does. And I thought that it's gonna be long, but it's even longer than I imagined.

I bought this tea tray. I'm pretty sure that was the filename.

If you hate Windows, simply switch to Linux so you can hate Linux instead

The state of search in 2024:

Google: "We threw away decades of search knowledge and Internet indexing and just made an answer up "

Bing: "Here's 100 tangentially related pages from 2010 that I only included because your query appears in a tag cloud in the website's footer"

DuckDuckGo: "Here are the Bing results, only with ✨privacy✨"

Reddit: (this user has deleted their entire post history using PowerDeleteMyShit. Fuck /u/Spez)

Yahoo: "Oh thank god, someone's actually using our search engine! No, we're not just Bing!" *frantically trying to cover up the giant Bing sticker* "NO DON'T GO TO GOOGLE!!!!"

Yandex: "Here are all of the Russian-owned resources on this topic. Only Russian sources are trustworthy. Everything else is fake ne—I MEAN, misinformation"

Kagi: "We'll give you what Google used to give you for free, for the low low price of $10/month!"

Ask.com: [hoarse screaming and clawing noises can be heard from the ground beneath a headstone that says "Here lies Jeeves: 1996-2006"]

if you have a computer you no longer use, consider donating it to your local Linux Creature.

Linux Creatures must install linux on a new device every few months in order to survive, and you may end up getting a useful computer out of it to boot.

(if the Linux Creature decides to hand it back to you instead of keeping it for their silly little experiments)

That wasn’t a joke, by the way.

sudo would be a great name for a dog

sudo fetch ball
sudo shake hand
sudo sit
sudo sleep
sudo watch baby
sudo killall intruders

This gives me a fun idea that I will never have the time to develop so someone else does it:

A bot called "Fedi installs Gentoo" on an empty virtual machine with a Gentoo iso where on each command input it posts a poll on what to type next.

Now hear me out.

Is Microsoft aware of the X11 protocol? Maybe they just needlessly trying to reinvent the wheel by screenshoting your hent^H^H^H^Hvery serious documents while there's a very mature and sound way of spying your desktop.

I mean, they could take over the maintenance of Xorg and make happy all those grey beard people who don't wish to switch to wayland.

#x11 #wayland #windows #recall

when is GCC gonna have support for shock collars?
it might help to shock the programmer whenever the compile fails

Last year I started a company, Workbrew, to provide the missing features and support for companies using Homebrew.

Workbrew is now available in private beta. It provides MDM integration, fleet configuration and remote brew command execution.

All our customers get hands-on bespoke support from the longest-running Homebrew maintainer (me!).

Happy to answer any questions here, via DM or book a call with us https://workbrew.com/demo

Please boost or share with anyone who might be interested. <3

This looks interesting
