Replacing major parties has been done before; it's only a temporary fix. People fear spoilers, so they keep voting for politicians that don't serve the public interest. The long-term solution is to get rid of the spoiler effect by switching to approval voting.

I know someone who uses a red keycap with the label "panic" for their right alt key.
Or, in her words, "panic on the alt right".

@cwebber @acousticmirror @hugoestr @IngaLovinde David Chisnall posits that modern CPUs are basically accelerators for C so why not add some alternatives?

Why limit the poll to GNOME users? GNOME, KDE, Cinnamon, Xfce, and Mate all have GUI-based configuration for the compose key. And yes, it's fantastic. :-)

How do you design a CPU for functional languages like Haskell?
Use a stackmachine where the function referenced by each head is popped with a given number of arguments copying the referenced function body into its place on the stack with argument references replaced & relative references resolved.
Opcodes are added for arithmatic, with ints shuffling the stack to ensure they're fully resolved before the arithmatic.
This has been prototyped on FPGAs!

Hey Fedi, do you know if there is a federated (perhaps even #ActivityPub-powered) cooking recipe hosting service? If not, let's 👏 make 👏 this 👏 happen!
I hate modern recipe websites. All of them are full with ads and tracking. The leading recipe hosting in my country loads over 30 different trackers, and that's excluding the ads!

FWIW, FairEmail (Android) supports OAuth2, with the caveat that Google doesn't let the F-Droid build use OAuth2. You'd need to use either the GitHub release (which automatically checks for updates) or the Play Store version.
Might be useful as a stop-gap if you aren't fully migrated by the 30th.

Funny but misleading. This article has been paywall-free since 2020, and isn't about paywalls to begin with. It's about the *language* used in scientific publications being difficult for the general public to understand. https://www.nature.com/articles/356739a0
By the way, Nature charges authors €9500 (about US$10000) to publish an article without a paywall.

New York City is like Linux:
- Spend the first year re-learning how to perform basic tasks
- Spend the rest of your lifetime claiming how much better it is
- Bad drivers

Ironically, both the original and the port are cross-platform now. The port did it better, though.
