@derek FFIX is so good. It used to be my favorite... and then I replayed FFX. The newer ones just don't compare to these. Absolute gold.

@soatok This post is 100% spot on and probably a little too kind.

Shameless plug, but I hope you guys don't mind... dealing with this exact set of problems has become my life's goal. I've been working on an open source E2EE replacement for not just email, but email and Exchange.

Not quite ready for a demo, but hoping for a first alpha release later this year.

I am utterly blown away by the amount of digital power afforded by open source products, some of which I've been sleeping on for years:

#LibreOffice
#Krita
#GIMP
#Scribus
#Inkscape

#Microsoft and #Adobe can go kick rocks until the end of time as far as I'm concerned.

There. He said it.

@rysiek The only downside I've found so far to Rust is complexity. It's a deep language and you have to have a good grasp on certain concepts before even a "Hello world" makes a ton of sense. It's very much worth the effort, though.

Best of luck!

@rysiek This. The only problem is that at least in the US, we are dealing with people in power creating the dystopia *and* the awful people at the bottom who put them there. It really feels like the "this is fine" meme.

Every once in a great while I find something genuinely cool on FB. This is what following #Jesus is supposed to look like.

@RL_Dane Looks like computer screen footage out of a movie. Love it!

For a little while now I've been working in private on a new programming language, Mifflin, as a fun project with a purpose.

Just started learning #Zig because Go (which I started it in) is not a good implementation language.

While not as complicated as #Rust or #D, it's definitely not a simple language to write in.... feeling like the REPL loop I just wrote is an accomplishment.

@sun And the same for you, my friend. 🙃

@sun Given what I see done and said by Christians, I don't blame you.

In my case, it's not hypocrisy because although I wasn't explicit about it, I make no claims about having this down. In fact, quite the opposite.

I personally make a concerted effort to do better than what I see

Pulled this from FB where it is *absolutely* needed, but a good reminder for all my believer friends here.

... and I could add quite a few more that could be stricken out beyond what's in the picture, too. 👿

Just an FYI if you're looking to load up the new #Ubuntu: the new installer is very prone to crashing. :(

I never thought I'd ever hear #country and #hiphop merge into something, let alone something that works. If you want to hear something different, give this a listen.

This is a perfect example of how #Microsoft has developed #Windows to act like malware. I logged into a machine and was greeted with this popup.

I need a sign that says 'Bang head here' right about now.

Hey you. Yeah. *You.*

Smile. You've got this, and at least one person cheering you on.

Today I learned that the #WebP exploit found recently is the worst of the worst. Like log4j bad, if not worse.

Patch your stuff, everyone, it's in everything.

#infosec

@fu Yeah

Today I learned that those frozen fish fillets you get at the grocery store are *much* tastier grilled. The more I #grill, the more I'm amazed at its versatility.
