@Parienve How would you have done it differently?
Stick with .com,.net, and cctlds?
Make registration in the root namespace cheap like it is for .com? (who picks the rules then? With the gtlds you get to choose registries.)
@Parienve We only need a few tlds though. It's not like apple is really getting special treatment.
@Parienve That would be fine if the .net tld hadn't already existed IMO. It looks like Apple themselves applied for and created .apple https://icannwiki.org/.apple
@fluffy Literally me every time I take my girlfriend to a restaurant.
@Parienve Why? That's not related.
Anyone can apply for gtlds: https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/global-support/faqs/faqs-en
@rlamacraft No one can make a website with the address grannysmith.swiley.net. Why? Because that's how namespaces work.

uspol, evictions
@deutrino Unless they're going to have a mortgage payment moratorium I don't know how they expect to keep that going indefinitely.
Edward Snowden has spoken
@bluejay That sounds like a base rate error. Aren't 70% or so of UK adults vaccinated?
@freemo Maybe approachable is a better word. I feel like I could convince my parents to buy that more easily than a Pinephone.
@freemo It looks like they're using Halium ("libhybris") to me. It is nice to see a more popular smartphone manufacturer putting effort into Linux compatibility though.
@freemo That's pretty interesting.
@freemo Does it? I don't think that SoC has free drivers (certainly not mainline and the PMOS page is a mess.)
@thor I lived on Taco Bell in college.
@stux eww
@fluffy A lot more than that's worth lol.
@0 You can pretty much do whatever you want here as long as you pay taxes and give the full time employees health insurance.
@icedquinn Didn't he like Pascal though?
30 Years ago...
On August 25, 1991, Linus Torvalds posted his famous
message to the
comp.os.minix USENET group:
I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and
professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been
brewing since april, and is starting to get ready.

Email mastodon+swiley@swiley.net (this makes all of my computers beep and turn on an indicator light and is always the fastest way to reach me.) I was on octodon a while ago but abandoned my account. I've never been a member of gab or parlor.
If you’d like to learn to program I would consider the SICP [1] more or less the peak of American CS pedagogy (at least as far as beginners go) along with “The Practice of Programming” once you get through that.
I play ukulele, I’m ok at reading music and decent at improv. I learned from Walter Piston’s “Harmony” and some of Adam Neely’s videos.
My main phone is a pine phone so if I don’t pick up when you call the battery is probably dead, the modem is probably dead, or I’m currently swearing at calls/pulseaudio/alsa. I’d strongly recommend sending an email instead.
Dispite what my web page says I’ve stopped uploading my scratch projects to GitHub once I started to understand the basics of collaboration with git. I was using the flamegraph as gamification/motivation but it doesn’t work as well with feature branch/squash merge workflows so I just keep most things on my VPS until I’m happy with publishing updates.
