Much more a tool than a puppet. Nobody is making that guy to sensible things, good or bad.

But yeah, feel for the character. People that can't learn such things are pretty fucked in the upcoming decades.

Attending this SPLASH conference one thing I realized, is that I really do need a constant stream of coffee to function properly.

I should pack cold brew or something next time. 😅

Ah your profile shows you self describe yourself as a troll. Bye then I guess.

It is a philosophical problem from a 1960s paper that became a meme. Not getting the implications is unoriginal.

@stux

Well, looks like it is time for the FSF to do the main thing it is charity money is used for, suing companies that cross them.

@claudiom@mastodon.sdf.org

Looks kind of like the shotgun guy. :)

obligatory WM simping 

@schratze

Personally would go for a WM. It won't break or have disappointing updates, ever. Also the program-ability and keybindings make my computer life much smoother.

I have xmonad right now, which works fine, and was an excuse to use Haskell, an impermanent but linguistically rich playground.

- Serious from-ground-up start
A slow changing do-it-yourself version would be dwm, because it is purely in C and probably the smallest codebase out there for WMs. But, it has to be significantly patched to not be buggy. Suckless devs have software that is good for system software education, due to their philosophy of code simplicity over interface simplicity. [It is a dumb philosophy to have in general for many engineers, I think. Interface minimalism is basic systems engineering/science now, and works. Computers/electronics are much more competent and advanced now than in the 1970s. This would never happen if we all did the suckless style.] But at least dwm will work about the same for decades to come.

- Learn by immersion
A dwm derivative like awesomewm would also be a good middle path, if you want something immediately working but also still easy to modify. Lua is also very easy to learn, and can be treated like an extra syntax layer for C.

And yet the average Facebook user has a file on them that is around a gigabyte in size.

What made this extra creepy is that it was not optional for him. Even actively avoiding these assholes was not too effective.

@hackaday@botsin.space

The meme lives on! 🍎

@noyoushutthefuckupdad

I thought it was just realistic athletic legs, for a female fighter that uses a leg focused fighting style. 😂
