After actually working with it a bit, I still think might be one of the more reasonable popular languages out there, but the semantics of the `?` operator are stupid. It looks like the result of an oath to include it in the language, whatever the cost, between two drunken developers – one from Go one from Haskell.

Got my ! I thought I would be using either whatever it came installed with, or as recommended by a couple people here. Unfortunately it turned out that is doing quite a lot of things in ways that I like, and works much smoother than at least the default. I tried it before I even got to Mobian, because I did not expect to stick with it — the docs claimed many things either don't work or have very strange defaults. It seems they are slightly outdated though, as everything works pretty brilliantly.

The only thing I desperately need to use it as a main phone is a graphical client with E2EE support. It seems is still my best bet, but I still haven't gotten it to build to help with development...

"Installation: we recommend that you use Docker."

what I'm supposed to see: "hey, it's a simple one-liner! Such clean install, much wow."

what I actually see: "we couldn't figure out how to install this thing on anything but our own machine, but hey, here is a well-compressed image of our entire disk, use this instead so that we can stop trying"

@seachaint YES! THANK YOU!

birbsite bullshit, cancel culture 

And it's just.. Yeah, if you're being bullied you need to stand up for yourself. But if you're getting pushback or become Main Character of Twitter for a day or two, especially if you have a following already, the best way really _is_ to "just ignore it".

That can mean giving your account to a friend to deal with torrents of abuse for you, or Logging Off for a while, but the point is that you shouldn't land in "it should be illegal to @ me".

Somehow Oglaf keeps expressing my preferred reality really well with offhand remarks.

University of Minnesota banned from Linux kernel development and a purge begins:

Questions that come to mind – is most programming work labour without land? Is, somewhat paradoxically, the Could the Land in this case? Am I trying to strech the theory too much?

I keep thinking of Robert Ashley's motto for my old music department, "If you're not weird, get out" and how to make a more nurturing, undergraduate-focused version of that.

I don't want normies to get out. I want them to de-normify at least temporarily: Be weird. Have fun. Do something absurd with your whole heart. Make something beautiful out of rubbish. Make something ugly our of pure tones. Find the place where your system starts to fail and sit there for a bit.

Anyone have a good (open) corpus or generator of human names that covers a good amount of the different types of names people can have?

Preferably tagged with ethnicity or nationality. The names don't have to be real, just representative.

@eumiro@fosstodon.org maybe?

My current phone is literally falling apart, so I need a new one. I m pretty confident I want a at some point in my life, but I'm not sure it is ready to be used as a main & only phone.

I bet there are people in the Fediverse who can help me with information! I want to know how much hassle, on a scale from Ubuntu to LFS and beyond, it is to setup the following functionlities:

1. Phone calls, making and receiving (has to be reliable).
2. SMS, sending and receiving (has to be reliable).
3. A client, with graphics (I have a weechat session on my server, but looking at pictures using only it would be a pain).
4. A (the?) client.
5. Some -based navigation (OSMAnd?).
6. And, of course, a client (currently using Fediab).

Any other suggestions, information, and criticisms about the are very welcome.

Boosts obviously appreciated.
