Vaxry lost his marbles when he got a mail from Lyude. Lyude used a Redhat mail, which was seen as unprofessional, and tried enforcing FDO’s CoC on Hyprland and other related project.

Given that the context was Hyprland possibly becoming a formal part of FDO, expecting Hyprland’s developers to abide by the FDO CoC in that event was a completely reasonable expectation.

What I love most about KDE5 is how it’s become a genuinely lightweight desktop, yet has stayed highly stable and full-featured. I think people who had bad experiences with KDE4 (and that’s basically everyone who used it) owe it to themselves to give KDE5 a try. It’s a night and day change.

I like a tidy desktop.

The real tragedy about that novel is that Heinlein didn’t live long enough to see the masterpiece that Verhoeven transformed it into.

It’s not the most awful thing Heinlein wrote, though. I think “Friday” deserves that dubious prize.

Is the spring of drowned girl filled with gender fluid?

Don’t do this to me! I’ve been checking out prices on leather skirts all week. As sexy as it would look and feel, my bank account is yelling “don’t do that”.

I thought Asteroid City was going to sweep the awards. It’s exactly the kind of safe bland toothless navel-gazing “let’s watch fictional actors put on a show!” oscarbait that usually does.

His job in the gulag should be sound editing. He stays there until he gets it right.

I’m thinking of doing vocal performances of excerpts from “The School of Venus” (published in 1655) on tiktok. I’m told I have a voice for radio and that I should do book readings there. Starting with a classic text that’s well out of copyright seems like a good idea.

It’s fun! It’s a very practical language. By far my favourite thing about Go is that the standard library is massive. For example, you can write a high-performance HTTP server that can handle a ridiculous number of concurrent requests in only a few dozen lines of code, because all the functions are in the standard library. But despite that huge library, it’s really easy to learn because there’s a relatively small number of keywords, and all the standard library functions work in a consistent way. If you already have familiarity with C, learning Go is basically a weekend project.

One thing that Go lacks is a mature UI toolkit. It’s fantastic for writing memory-safe and fast network services and command line utilities, but I probably wouldn’t recommend it quite yet for desktop or mobile apps. The Fyne folks are working on fixing that.

One of the reasons I love Go is because the language’s designers took a lot of lessons learned from Plan 9 and even improved on them. For example, that easy cross-compilation is also in Go. As is the lightning-fast compilation.

I now desperately want to see a David Lynch adaptation of a famous anime or manga. I don’t care which one, so long as he has full creative control.

This is the basic gripe of Democrats the country over. The Democratic party absolutely sucks at between-election messaging.

I thought the problem was their between-election inability to actually do anything.

That’s nonsense. If Joe Biden really restored the soul of America in his image, it would now be a land of tattered infrastructure, systemic bigotries, fealty to Wall Street, and the pigheaded denial of geopolitical realities and climate science would be rife.

My favourite horrifying goof from STTNG was in Datalore when Brent Spiner flubbed an end-of-episode line “I am fine” to “I’m fine”. When the entire plot of the episode is that Lore impersonates Data for nefarious purposes, and Lore can use contractions and Data can’t. If Lore had never made another appearance, the entire series could happen with viewers wondering if Data was floating helpless in space and Lore had successfully covertly taken Data’s place in Starfleet.

What if I have musical anhedonia?

Paint it yellow and call it the Butter.

something very strange to me that the theme for Total Recall is a Legally DistinctTM version of the Conan theme

Another fun pairing are the opening credit music in Psycho and Re-Animator.

That sounds like a good concept for an Oglaf strip.

We salute comrade Rom.
