I did this space demo and it's finally open-source https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OrZX347MoE #godotengine #voxels

They work in the art world and if they were seen supporting me they would be brought down too."

What It’s Like To Be Cancelled

8 rabbits or 1 rabbyte.

Regular reminder that "it's better on the app" means "we want to install spyware on your phone"

I'm looking forward to the new init system that the Alpine folks are working on. Basically every non-systemd init up to now has not really been much better than the old sysvinit scripts that used to be the norm.

"Using Kay’s terminology, Apple’s creativity was relegated to the production of materials: a song composed in GarageBand, a funny effect applied to a selfie with Photo Booth. What kind of computer literacy is this? Counterintuitively, what is a form of writing within a software vehicle, is often a form of reading the computer medium. We only write the computer medium when we do not simply generate materials, but tools."

"Why is software created using taxpayers’ money not released as Free Software?"

Public Money, Public Code
https://publiccode.eu/

"We want legislation requiring that publicly financed software developed for the public sector be made publicly available under a Free and Open Source Software licence. If it is public money, it should be public code as well."

"Code paid by the people should be available to the people!"

If I need to be able to hire or otherwise trust someone with any ties to China moving forward, I am going to want them to publicly say "Taiwan is a country".

Apparently just mentioning "libera.chat" in a channel's topic is enough for the new Freenode admins to join, change the topic, and remove your operator status.

They even devoiced the admin, so he can't talk about what's going on in the channel.

Just wow 🤯

If it involves a couple of hacky tricks, I don't care if your code solves the problem 6% faster.

Hardware scales and will improve over time. The human capacity of understanding and maintaining code does not.

There are always exceptions to the rule, but generally speaking:

clean code > performance.

The OCaml compiler saw a huge jump in contributors after moving to GitHub, and the effect has persisted.
