The birth of #Linux :tux:
27 years ago.

On August 25 1991 Linus Torvalds wrote to comp.os.minix:

"I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and
professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones."

"won't be big" he said. 😃

Happy birthday, Linux, and congratulations to Mr. Torvalds.

On August 24th 1349 six thousand Jews are killed in Mainz after being blamed for the bubonic plague.

@Demo318 No one else is giving the release date so probably it's not the real one, but may serve as a reference :)

@Demo318 But it is indeed a really good game <3 like all the other games such as Europa Universalis or Hearts of Iron

@indiauplko usually a coffee in the morning, another at midday & another after the dinner. Not really a fan of sugary drinks anymore, I try to drink more water

@Nik Wow! Such a great post, can't stop looking at it 😍

@indiauplko I'm sure there is a way to send feedback to Mastodon devs, it would be nice if you request the feature so they know

@indiauplko Waa really? Sadly I wasn't even born in the era when it was openly used. But nowadays I use it for freenode channel and some other channels. It stills a great way of communication imo

@freemo Exactly, I'm really glad I found qoto for this exact reason, the full-width UI improves a lot the general experience imo

@egoleo Thanks! I do search stuff in GitHub sometimes, but the amount of projects is a little crazy and it may be difficult to find projects in the scope I wanted, so I thought someone could have some specific recommendations 😋 , thanks again!

@MightyPork@dev.glitch.social Wow thanks! This is exactly the kind of stuff I was searching 😍 expect some traffic in that git server from me :P

Btw, loved the "pure assembly STM32 programming examples and boilerplates for masochists" description, seems true after looking at the code

So lately I've been working on a project to improve my knowledge of C programming. While it's going pretty good, I would like to read other people small-medium size projects to see code other than mine. Does someone know any projects like that?

@madhur @Muo
Welcome Madhur, hope you enjoy your time here 😊❤

I've been diving for a while in some other mastodon instances but I can't get used to the UI not taking all the available space, other than that the federation is pretty cool

@jegoodwin To be honest, I now appreciate much more the work of technical writers. It's such a difficult job to keep both the general and the technical legibility and structure of the document.
