Nice problems to have: my Outreachy intern finishes his homework faster than I can come up with the next one.

Me vs. Krita: I have no idea what I'm doing, but IT IS SO MUCH FUN

@skinnylatte wait, this doesn't need rising? My god, what have I been missing!

Who called it a hard drive made out of LEGO and not a block device.

That thing dogs do where they nap beside you, then they sigh deeply, and release a cloud of doggy pheromones ❤️

@kornel Our technical debt is measured in centuries.

Slack has the audacity to pop up a window titled, "Want a productivity boost?" 🙃

@technomancy I do, and I am terrified to misuse it 😅

Bleh, the Windows key stopped working on my mechanical #keyboard, so I remapped Menu to it and made gnome-shell use "Right Super" for bringing up the overview.

Lazyweb, how do I diagnose a key switch?

-v --verbose
-vv --verboser
-vvv --verboserer
-vvvv --verbosererer

Why is this just a warning!?!?!? (from static-scan)

Who's gonna port xroach to the Apple goggles thing so it looks like you have bugs crawling on the outside?

Running X11 temporarily and OH MY GOD THERE'S TEARING EVERYWHERE.

Wayland naysayers, how do you doomscroll and not go mad? Do you really live like this?

So... file: URLs can have a query, like file:///foo/bar.txt?blah

But why? Is there anything that would handle that?

@jamesh https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#url-parsing seems to disagree 🤷♂️

@jamesh hehe, I haven't really learned how hostnames play with UNC paths or if they are even related.

@xogium Don't forget that circa 2010-2011, Oracle acquired Sun Microsystems and disbanded the accessibility team. They were responsible for GNOME's accessibility infrastructure. We went from about 10 full-time people working on accessibility to none.

@brainwane I didn't know that Phabricator EOLed 🤯
