@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

@clacke Heh, my first exposure to that was in the context of triumphalism about having fixed Y2K in time

@clacke Well now I want to know what meme!

@clacke Janet Reno the mass murderer ?

@fitheach @clacke Been writing OCaml on a Linux desktop off and on since before 2003 🙃

@clacke I don't think I'd want to live somewhere without good markets. I think I bought 10kg of fruit and vegetables at the market today!

@loke Completely unsurprising, honestly. Since it became clear that Facebook/Meta are a key bit of the US military spy apparatus, he's gotten behind their "targeting". He's a pretty hardcore militarist right-wing Democratic Party shill, after all.

@loke @ianbetteridge The idea that data protection is something people should have a right to have, for free, is certainly at odds with his belief that Apple is selling a right to privacy with their products (and that this is a good thing)

@clacke "International Labor Day" never stopped being a day of protest for the US labor movement, though

@clacke I've only watched the first episode, but I like it so far. Thanks for sharing !

@fence I couldn't find anything about it, though I found a lawyer arguing that it would be as enforceable in Belgium as in France and Italy, where it has been enforced

@clacke Oh no, I'd thought that was an emoji picker. I had no idea it was a reaction. Brb sending myself some mails to react to

@clacke There's more Californians than Canadians, and they have no less legitimate a claim to the two letters, so yeah. Probably not worth fighting that windmill

@loke @bobjonkman @david_megginson

@helenbellmusic And just like that I remember exactly what the OCF smelled like in the late 90's

@clacke I'm sure lots of us have those stories, but I got a rejection in 2002 for not having 10 years of Java experience. I probably didn't want the job anyway, given that
