2024 truly is the Year of the Linux desktop, a Wayland protocol was opened and then merged in just over a month and it only took that long because they're required to wait 30 days before merging anything. gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots…
in reply to Brodie Robertson

Is that merged? It's still showing as draft status to me (note that I'm on mobile so maybe I'm missing something)




I will probably be resting tonight. So, I wanted to share my good wishes this afternoon!

I think the arguments made in this article, though valid as they are, fall short one step: Even if you manage to set up a proper, financially supported supply chain for Linux distributions, you still haven't solved the really pressing issue in FOSS: Where do you find the people to do the actual work? Being paid does not prevent burnout and money is not enough in today's market to attract talent to do grunt work.

In wich State was it, that librarians are forbidden to associate? There was something in the News here recently, but I couldn‘t find it anymore. 🧐


A bill in Louisiana, HB 777, would make it a crime for librarians to use public funds to join the American Librarian Association or attend an ALA conference, punishable with prison time and hard labor for up to two years.

#libraries #education #books #librarians #theocracy

in reply to Jen Sorensen

For a minute, I thought you mentioned "hard labor" in jest---imprisonment for such "offenses" being already ridiculous and anti-democratic--but there it is listed as a possible punishment in conjunction with imprisonment. What a ridiculous pile of BS, speaking as a former librarian. Louisiana is absenting itself from the American experiment, along with a few of her sister states. Buh bye. (I'm in Florida and we are essentially dropping off into the sea.)

Hello fedi. i am trying to solve the "fetch all replies" problem once and for all that makes the fedi feel a lot more desolate and with a lot more reply guys in it than it should be. this is take two, where before i had it triggered by a button, but now i think it should happen on the server-side whenever you expand a post. can anyone help me out figure out how to make this more efficient by only fetching posts that the server doesn't already have? i am not sure what the best strategy would be, and if anyone with experience doing efficient rails and SQL stuff could give me some pointers that would be gr8. the patch is actually extremely simple it just needs a few nice things to make it not DDoS everyone.

Born in 1750, Caroline Herschel worked as assistant to her astronomer brother William. But she also made her own discoveries of nebulae, stars & 8(!) comets.

In 1787, King George III employed Caroline as her brother's assistant, including a small salary that made her one of the first women paid for their contributions to #science.

Caroline submitted over 550 stars to the existing star catalog & received honorary membership in the Royal Society. space.com/17439-caroline-hersc… #history

@enthusiast101 A lot of the performance is due to things like speculative execution so it's a really tricky problem to solve
in reply to Brodie Robertson

yeah I guess it's difficult to go back to normal after higher levels of performance for so long.


In which @ntnsndr, in conversation with David Bollier – overcast.fm/+YVzymNQfY – does that thing where someone points out a dynamic that should be obvious, but it needs that someone to point it out to you:

Namely, that the client-server model of online infrastructure is inherently antithetical to democratic governance.

In our online lives, “we are in some sense being trained *out of* the democratic practices that have been so essential to practices of political democracies”




Some people on Kauai just paid $40k for annual leases of dilapidated cabins up in Waimea Canyon. It's a special place but these cabins are in terrible shape. They're up near 4000 feet elevation, so a good place to escape the heat in the summer, but...that's a lot of cheddar.

i lived in Honolulu for several years - the cost of living was insane. I lived in a 400 sqft apartment that sold as a condo for $400,000 when I left....

I had to wait a bit to get this shot since this staircase has quite a bit of foot traffic, even on a rainy morning. Little Island, NYC.

Today's Android drama:

* Someone posts an extremely spicy implementation of a basic app on r/androiddev that essentially says, "All recommended best practices for Android dev are trash, just use Java and ditch all of Google's compat APIs": reddit.com/r/androiddev/commen…
* Everyone laughs at this person for being a crank
* Turns out: They are the author of mastodon-android! github.com/mastodon/mastodon-a…
* Aaaaaand this extremely dubious fork of AndroidX: github.com/grishka/LiteX

in reply to Bill Phillips

It would be nice if Mastodon's Android client weren't written and maintained by a crank who is unable to collaborate effectively or distinguish between good and bad dependencies. (Same problem, honestly)
