I'm honestly pretty tired of the more money/more eyes/more time/more something would have prevented the xz backdoor. It is unbelievably optimistic to think the community could just be a little better and that would defuse the efforts of a damn nation state.

Which Easter are Christians celebrating? The Bible has multiple versions and they are not consistent. https://ffrf.org/component/k2/item/18418-leave-no-stone-unturned

Happy Transgender Day of Visibility!

On this day our tradition is to go egg hunting

The worst thing about the xz backdoor is that the same process could easily be replicated on a wide set of other projects. The whole software ecosystem is based on trust that is often undeserved.

I cannot stress enough how pleasing I find the default COSMIC light theme.

COSMUnity - from @mmstick

@mmstick @soller I know that both GNOME and KDE do shared virtual desktops across monitors, but is COSMIC going to have per monitor virtual desktops like most tiling window managers. I don't think I've seen the approach mentioned in any of the COSMIC blogs.

Perhaps I’m showing my age, but the density of games that were able to chart completely new territory is impressive.

Dune II - 4X strategy

Sim City - simulation games

Star Control II - open world procgen

Doom - first-person shooter

Monkey Island (or Age of the Tentacle) - adventure

Civilization - strategy

The ability to theme #COSMIC apps is so far beyond anything else out there...

COSMIC Store is coming along quickly, though there is still a lot left to do. It loads nearly instantly, because it uses bitcode to cache appstream data in an optimized format. It uses very little memory compared to the Pop Shop. Searches can be performed live as they are done in parallel. Searching for "e" takes 5.5 ms on my desktop and returns 4601 results.

Open firmware doesn't grow on (device) trees

I'm convinced Intel is trolling with the GPIO registers on MTL-U.

The port IDs have changed. Are there any reasons for the port IDs to change, maybe a different thing uses the old ones? Nope!

The offsets that port data start at are different for every GPIO community. Is there any conflict requiring these to change? Nope!

Most groups have 24 items. One has 23. Another has 22. Is there any logic to this? Nope!
