@juliobiason Please don't.

I know someone who had an idiot motorcycle crash into him like that. The idiot died, and my friend is still traumatized about it despite it being 100% the fault of the guy who hit him

@16af93 Taking the Cathedral/Bazaar metaphor more seriously than the essay did

@clacke One of the funnier songs I stumbled upon recently, is one I know from the Irish tradition, and where there's a dragon that's slayed. Same theme in English and Scottish versions of the song.

The Appalachian versions feature a wild pig instead of a dragon, which is just wonderful

@clacke Pete, and even more his sister Peggy, Seeger were huge figures in folk and traditional song across the English speaking world. She was a first-rate song collector, and spent much of her life in England.

Your broader point of course stands, but there's an interesting conversation amongst all the English folk traditions, plenty of songs move back and forth across oceans and seas, giving Anglophone folk an oddly cosmopolitan bent

@pymander @elb IME the result of sexpr regexp systems like rx is no clearer than normal regexp syntax, just much less concise

@hanshuebner I have parens-require-spaces set to nil, to prevent that from happening with M-(

If that doesn't fix it you'll need to share what you have ( bound to, and any active minor modes :neko_glasses:

@clacke I once saw an indicator with a visible rainbow: red through blue for one sort order, blue though red for the other

@juliobiason grep -l for the exit status, then cat the listed files ?

Should I put my printer server directly on the Internet ? Asking for a friend ...

@clacke I had a university shell/email account that got similarly disabled on short notice 15 years after creation. That was no fun.

@clacke flashbacks to my German language class and trying to pronounce „ jetzt “. And the Italian guy who did so with 4 syllables 😹

Signal Is More Than Encrypted Messaging.

If you go by their budget, it's primarily a metadata collection project, building a giant database linking social networks by mobile phone number

@vampiress Wait until it happens in the country you live in

@clacke @Takiro There's a bit more than that in Revelations, but yeah it's mostly European fanfic

@kaia It's like someone tried to describe a pretzel with words alone

@clacke I'm conceiving of it as a wine cocktail, like a kir or similar. Probably not something I'd make a habit of, but something I'd try once for sure 👹

@clacke boba rosé would work

@clacke When has the far-right in France and Germany ever caused problems at a global scale ?

@kaia Cinnamon is very friendly for former Windows users (my wife's positive review is: like Windows before it got weird). Alternatively, you could configure KDE into a Windows-like theme

CentOS + EPEL would require minimal updates and be supported into 2027, and the graphical process for doing updates is good on either desktop.

@GossiTheDog Can you translate from Microsoft? Does this mean that corporate users will be able to turn it on/off individually, or will it be up to the IT department
