What crap. But I guess making useful software would require effort.

I like Aegis.

Congratulations, you’re not an asshole. 🙃

Also apparently it’s already been forked 🎉

No, because nothing happened. Does sound like it was projection though.

What’s the gui-based irc client people are using now instead?

Wait is hexchat really dead? Didn’t it replace xchat? So what’s the go to irc client now?

From what I can tell the steering committee (project leadership) wanted to modify the mod team, the mod team wants to be independent of the leadership of the project, and one member of the certain committee works or did work for a genuinely shitty company in some capacity.

Sounds like interpersonal bullshit reframed as politics. Honestly impressed at the resignation letter being able to use so many words while avoiding actually directly explaining what they’re upset about. Of course it would take something really egregious and extraordinary for me to give a shit, because…

The steering committee or board of trustees or whatever should be sitting the rules for the organization, up to an including adding or removing mods from a forum if they want. That’s what they exist for. The idea that a mod team should be independent of the actual organizational structure of an institution is ridiculous.

So what’s the solution to keep abusive access from psudo-ddosing open projects? IP range blocks? Keeping access behind accounts as a speed bump for bots and a tool for tracking abuse?

The second panel should include “I still get paid for the work of one.”

Hahahahaha The only reason we have a 5 day workweek is the labor movement. Capitalists then love to saunter up later with their new tech saying they can shave a few more days off. Does it ever happen? Nope. You get new work and they pocket the savings.

See the guy in the meme asked for a thing the genie liked, so the genie granted the wish and gave him extra wishes. Hahahahaha

Looking for overnight jobs might help. He could try disabling them and see if the issue stops, and if it does then re-enable them in a controlled way to determine which one was causing it.

So: “a few months ago, the Ubuntu Forums community merged with our Discourse community after being apart for quite a long time. During the merger, we simply adopted the Forums posting guidelines without a thorough review by the Community Council. We didn’t spot that the Forum had a stricter policy on politics and explicitly disallowed flags. Adding to that issue was a generational difference in the meaning of “queer”, and whether or not it’s still considered a slur.”

Okay.

Ummm, go to suckless and get dwm maybe? Idk, but enjoy the adventure!

Can’t tell if this is anti USSR and Pro Russia, or Pro Ukraine and pro USSR. I’m hoping it’s the latter but I just can’t tell.

My eyes! 😭

No idea about Cakewalk etc but your Steam games will almost all be fine and Linux is honestly great right now and always getting better.

Having used Linux Mint, Windows 10, and Windows 11, I can honestly say that Win10 is okay and Win11 is annoying dogshit. I’d recommend taking the Linux plunge of course, but if you’re desperate for Windows I think paid extended support for 10 might be a thing?

But like I said 11 is dogshit and there’s no time like the present to just grab 3-4 USB sticks at Microcenter, download a bunch of ISOs and Rufus or Balena Etcher, and just dick around. Linux Mint with Cinnamon or KDE will probably give you one of the slickest Windows-like experiences OOTB. Only recommendation: some wifi cards (with certain chips, I forget which) in my experience have required me to go hunt down a driver, so check reviews for any card you’re looking at to see if people report it working out of the box.

Glow harder merc.
