@dosnostalgic I was just about to say "oh, that just..." then "WAIT, BACKWARDS???"

@usuario @Vitu devia estar no mundo da lua

@usuario @Vitu Torcendo pra que o Lucas Silva e Silva do Mundo da Lua tenha se classificado pras eliminatórias

looking shinier after a day in vinegar!

@gobolinux In all fairness, I had already stepped down from the lead a long time ago! @lucasvr had already been leading the project for the past several years! At the time of 017.00, back in mid-2020, I called Lucas "Head of Engineering" (he built the whole thing!) with myself being "Head of Design" (the look and feel, which is mostly from 016-era). https://gobolinux.org/gobolinux017.html

is there an easy way to clean them? #coins

These are the S-tier cities.

Sorry, I don't make the rules. Casio does.

Wow, over 3500 people voted and it ended up 51%/49%. That's impressive.

It's been a long long time since I've last touched any codebase that used tabs. I thought this debate was pretty much settled by now, but it only comes to show once again how we perceive the world in bubbles.

current status: venting about the woes of being a FOSS maintainer and then deleting the toot 5 seconds later

@usuario se fosse no mundo em geral, seria uma linda final entre o Senna e o Lula, mas sendo o fediverso, só posso prever que teremos grandes surpresas!

Every now and then I think about how communities produce manners of speech, and how for us, non-native speakers, our use of language is primarily shaped by our online interactions.

I think this has an overall negative effect to the use of language, because people pick up patterns from things like forums (e.g. constant hyperbole clichés, everything is either "blazingly fast" or "painfully slow"), and they never had the experience of using other registers, e.g. speaking English to their mother.

"ils voyageaient"

People love to talk about consonant clusters in slavic languages... but that's one chunky vowel cluster!!!

Left #fosdem feeling energized. Realized I barely posted here since the event started (my Xennial heart's GenX side is good at staying away from the phone when real life is happening live).

Then I opened Tusky to toot here about it and couldn't help but scroll a bit the timeline. So many bleak news, one after another.

Still, I type this and force myself back to the #fosdem mindset. Because this is how we fight back. With joy. Supporting each other. We keep doing what we do.

@benoit I am no longer maintaining htop! This feature is not from my time in the project. I'm sure the @htop team can explain :)

I've been daily driving a work laptop with Wayland for over a month now.

the good: it works! and KDE works well with it, plugging and unplugging HDMI cables always does the right thing, scaling with different monitors looks okay too.

the bad: every time I need to learn how to do something I knew how to do on X11 (e.g. custom keymaps or xrandr voodoo), I need to learn a method *specific to KDE* because there's no DE-agnostic tooling.

@gutocarvalho vi vários Frameworks no FOSDEM. Eles e os ThinkPads velhos de guerra são os favoritos da galera

@edsu @internetarchive The Internet Archive needs a mirror outside of the US.

@sergiodj opa, foi mal, só vi a mensagem agora e to de saída pra pegar o trem! vai ter que ficar pra uma próxima! vc mora onde?

@anna @juliobiason eu não sei os números exatos (sim, já vi gente sentada nos corredores), mas eu sei que na devroom que eu ajudo a organizar a gente fica barrando gente de entrar pelo limite de pessoas o tempo todo... afinal, esse já virou até um meme no FOSDEM

@juliobiason They do have it, that's why every room has volunteers limiting the entrance to ensure each room's capacity is not exceeded.

What that says is that if 1,000 people decide to enter the auditorium to protest, then ULB (the uni where this is is hosted) will have a problem and FOSDEM will most likely lose their venue.
