@phanpy Is pretty neat, I think I might use it for a while…
I do wish there was a desktop client so I could replace Tuba, but Electron kinda stinks so idk :ablobcatcoffee:

:ablobcatattentionreverse: Today you learned that:

The GNU GPL is not licensed under the GNU GPL or any other license that grants GNU's "four essential freedoms."
It says so right there in the second paragraph:

"Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed."

There's probably a legal reason for that, but it's still pretty ironic.

Gotta love monitors that sit on your desk, rarely move, and don't have to be thin or light but somehow still manage to come with a separate external power brick like I'm some sort of cable management genius :blobcat_thisisfine:

"I don't think that they're going to have [a Wayland-only release] done by Q3 or Q4 but that's a very ambitious goal."

We're only half way through Q2 and he's already dog-fooding Wayland. :blobthinkingeyes:

I wonder what the difference is between when I'm hungry and I know eating would also make me less mentally discombobulated, vs when I'm hungry but otherwise fine and can power thru the hunger pangs til they subside.

these are definitely two different hunger states and I'm beginning to be able to tell them apart.

NIST turns to IT consultants to clear National Vulnerability Database backlog

🤔

"According to the agency's statement last week, it hopes to reach its pre-February processing rate of CVEs within the next few months. NIST predicted it should be caught up and back to processing current CVEs by the end of the fiscal year."

@Mojeek
Do you collect searches and results when somebody clicks those "Try elsewhere:" buttons?
If not, you should. It would help you find issues a lot faster...

I've been using DuckDuckGo as my main search engine for a while now. Lately, DDG seems to "correct" my searches. A LOT. I don't know if it's just me or if it's a universal thing, but when I type in a search sometimes not only the results aren't what I was looking for, but I see the query itself has been changed to something I didn't actually search for. It's INCREDIBLY frustrating. I just might have to find a new search engine if this keeps up.

Why are y'all still protesting on foot?
That's like the ONE thing that works better in cars. :ablobfoxbongo:

Are thousands of people with signs really more effective than thousands of CARS gridlocking the ENTIRETY OF WASHINGTON DC? :blobcatgiggle:
