It turns out "my" shirt design was stolen and used by some US assholes who now sell a Rob Anybody t-shirt.
I can't do anything about that, except giving everybody the design for free - if it has to be out there, nobody should profit from it.
If you end up using it, please PLEASE donate to one of Pratchett's favorite charities or at least to somebody in need.
And add a #GNUTerryPratchett line somewhere, maybe?

This is beautiful.

@aral I must have missed it: what's Katz' "justification" for preventing the madleen from reaching Gaza? Did they even bother to come up with one or it's just a honest, straightforward "we don't want anybody to help Gaza, let us genocide in peace"?

@HauntedOwlbear I don't think I could open mine without paying for a server, unfortunately (also it's vanilla and I don't have the patience and/or time to give it any sort of identity) but I frankly believe UO* should be part of the "fediverse identity" IYKWIM

* self-hosted I mean

@HauntedOwlbear only tangentially related but my 7yo kid is very happy I have a local servuo running. Apparently, buying clothes and coloring them is a profoundly satisfying experience.

I'm still unemployed, and I'm starting to think that I'm not going to find a job with #Django (in Berlin or remote).

After 25yrs as a dev I'm really pretty good - actually I'm good enough that I'm a better tailwind developer after three days' than people who've been using it for a year or more. And that's with me being a backender by trade.

Anybody's hiring? I'm also a good tech lead, I can do devops, etc etc.

@daltux

The single reason why I'm using Cinnamon is the WinKey+number shortcut. I started using around 2008 and I'm honestly unable to function if I don't have it, so I picked Cinnamon and just sort of stuck with it

@Suiseiseki @lxo

@daltux

uuh colors are pretty!

@lxo

I've been using Mint (Cinnamon) exclusively for the last four years or so, and I'm generally completely happy and satisfied and I don't miss Windows at all.

Except for one thing: Windows terminal.

And actually just one part of Windows terminal: being able to give different names to tabs.

I don't want to use a different terminal with AI bullshit or anything, I just want to have different names in tabs.

Anybody?

@freemo @Impish4249 @AlexanderVI do you know the meaning of "preventable"?
Ligthning isn't.
School shootings are.
Measles is.

No, we shouldn't have been surprised by Meta being a bunch of transphobic assholes, I guess?

@juc verissimissimo. Però si può sempre evitare di dare soldi ai Cattivi.

@AnarchoNinaWrites I
hope most people aren't actual fascists, but rather selfish idiots who thought they'd be better off with fascists. They *might* decide that their selfishness is best served by somebody else when the fascist nightmare takes hold in full.
It's probably going to be too late, unfortunately.

"Please kids, stop sleeping in our bed. If I don't get to sleep at least six hours, I'm not as funny anymore"

"But dad, you're not funny anyway"

How's your day going?

@HauntedOwlbear @fesshole I'm sorry, especially because Ultima.

@HauntedOwlbear @fesshole and now, you too will be forced to be reminded of this every once in a while.
It's like The Ring, except the curse stays with you anyway.

@fesshole Every year or so I'm reminded of a friend working as a doctor, who told me he once received a patient and her husband who both lamented infertility and extreme pain during sex, while the woman also lamented urinary incontinence.

The visit showed that the husband penetrated her in the urethra, rather than the vagina.

I can't even start to imagine HOW that happened the first time, nor the absolute, inconceivable pain.

That was Italy in the '90s, btw. Talk about sex ed failures.

@futzle reminds me of Cohen the Barbarian.
#GNUTerryPratchett

@cstross no offense meant but yours was, honestly, one of the futures I least wanted to materialize.

Dear everybody, I was already let go from my job (we had a very different opinion on several things, which is a pity because the team was good)
So, if you're looking for a very good #Django developer or a CTO with reasonable experience with a bunch of stuff, please get in touch.

If you're *not* looking, boosts are a nice thing, you know.
