@Suiseiseki GNU Autotools are crimes against humanity if you ask me.

Not saying everything GNU is bad but a lot of things are ancient at best.

Also, in my experience GNU coreutils and other standard tooling has a shitty and outdated UI/UX.

You might be used to it and it might also be ubicuous but that doesn't mean it sucks less.

Related the current drama about uutils being MIT:

Didn't the EUPL happened, among other reasons, because the GPL was funny with EU law?

Like, I get that bigcorp bad and believe me when I say I love to see them fucked but maybe the drama is a bit overblow.

@fanta Low-Tech Magazine es una publicación muy guapa.

Hay cosas verdaderamente interesantes que tienen potencial de ser tecnología viable…

@sullybiker
It has the potential to gain efficiency as more flatpaks are installed tho.

@kaia

@kaia Distopic shit? I didn't have breakfast yet…

@fanta No si a mi lo de preguntarme si soy gay (o directamente llamarme maricón) por llevar el pelo largo o las uñas pintadas es algo que me ha pasado ad absurdum...

Pero la verdad es que muy guapos los cacharros. Estaba leyendo sobre el de Wacom y la verdad es que mola mucho como concepto.

Suerte con los experimentos.

I have been hit by the fact that you cannot use BT headphones with a microphone in Linux in 2024.

Seriously, what the fuck?

@kaia Bruhhhh.
I just paid for too seats in a flexibus.

@andrew_shadura @nekohayo Wasn't it patched to remove a warning placed explicitly for Debian users?

@andrew_shadura If I recall correctly it was put in place to warn users doing software archeology about old versions and also avoid bug reports.

In this cases I think it comes down to legality Vs not being a dick. If upstream explicitly tells you to stop under reasonable circumstances then just fork it and change the name.

More projects should keep their trademarks to avoid situations like this one but alas.

@frameworkcomputer I don't quite follow nixos releases since I'm using the unstable nixpkgs + half my stuff pulled from upstream flakes builing latest commit. :D

Stability is a mere ilusion.

@k @jacqueline Where can I look for the context? Was the thing related to the domain being from AF?

@drewdevault As in picking a font for it or creating a menu for doing so?

@grillchen @kaia @mr64bit Not a bit. Maybe it has to do with English (thankfully) not being my mother tongue. :blobcatthink:

@aral Does that happens when you use any kind of text formatting?

Like, if a PDF has bold segments or if I use markdown in some fediverse software that supports it?

@Life_is @aral Thanks for the explanation. It makes sense, I will avoid sing unicode characters in my posts then.

@thatonecalculator @gamingonlinux I probably should do something like that. I'm really tired of novideo.

@thatonecalculator @stux @Hesterloeff @kelvinvoskuijl Ohhh, my bad.

I've spent the whole day doing XHTML/HTML in class and I have PTSD.

@thatonecalculator @stux @Hesterloeff @kelvinvoskuijl Wasn't the center tag deprecated in HTML5?
