#TIL: #Perl 6 was renamed to #Raku in October 2019.

(I haven't used Perl in a long time. Very happy with Python now.)

@The_Holk64 i just saved this!

@jeffowski

@janneke what an impressive and historic achievement!

I appreciate the efforts of all those involved. You have my greatest respect!

#NixOS is also implementing it: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/227914

@civodul

@dajb you could still make a blog post out of it, to, well, make it more professional 😛

(and reach more people)

i heard from a collective that new people there have to unlearn the "professionalism" and heal from societal damage from other workplaces to have the courage to participate in an actual democracy, e.g. criticize an "authority"

@clacke Pantheon Files can compress and extract 7z files (actually Archive Manager from GNOME does the work)

https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/FileRoller

@diti you are right that it does not offer compression level settings. other GUIs might have them

there is an open issue for that https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/file-roller/-/issues/89

there is ark from kde as an example that have this setting. maybe that's for you? https://apps.kde.org/ark/

not sure if 7-Zip still has the best compression. there are some very performant new ones

@diti but why would anyone need 7-Zip on linux? i used it on windows and macos to extract rar and other archives they don't support, but most linux desktop file managers support all popular formats. for rar, there is unrar, but i haven't used it in like 10 years

@underlap the open source GPT-NeoX-20B deep learning language model says the next obvious distro is #NixOS (in one specific run that i intentionally selected)

have you considered to try it out?

@disarray 1 million users? https://the-federation.info/mastodon says it's 5,264,842 mastodon users (on all instances). and elsewhere it way said we hit 6 million. it's not that easy to count in a federated network

maybe they mean the default instance the mastodon project hosts

journalists just don't understand it and share their wrong perspective

probably not mentioning the fediverse

@Gargron awesome design!

should here be some profile pictures?
