@hazelnot Yep, though it's pretty shocking to see just *how* badly adopted Vista was compared to XP and 7
@hazelnot (If you want to understand what I mean with the Vista thing, look at the StatCounter Global Stats for Windows versions distribution with max history back to 2009)
@hazelnot I expect that we're going to see a lot of this in the next few years, to be honest, it's Vista all over again except this time there's a credible alternative

It's been a rough few days. Better now. Here, I took a picture from the train (again).
@ben It's the dice roller for a game of Boggle. You press the button and it flips all the dice around inside the dome

Conspiracy seed, tech leaders and drug supply
So, here's the theory. There is one person who supplies all the ketamine for all the tech bros. They've decided to pull the plug and are therefore increasingly tainting the supply. Elmo was the first to break fully from reality, now Zuck and Thiel. Lately they're snorting nothing but baking soda and strichnine, but it turns out they have managed to build up an immunity like the Dread Pirate Roberts.
@tanepiper Unfortunately, people rarely take early warnings seriously, no matter how well-argued...😐

Ooft this 2010 post was right on the money about Matt Mullenweg and WordPress - the comments have aged like milk in the sun

@smveerman Oh, I see they've turned the manufacturing imperfections into a Product now

today in "forgetting dutch exists": this ocr software has word-usage probability models for different historical variants of english, several dead germainc languages, pretty much every other world language, and... exactly 0 models for dutch
Het valt me op dat Nederlanders echt heel krampachtig doen over sociale interactie met iemand met een mondkapje op. Alsof je dan niet kunt praten ofzo.

when I'm prime minister I will ban all news articles about a medical condition that aren't written by or involve someone with that medical condition
— signed, an autistic trans woman with ADHD who can't possibly be happy according to the newspapers
tobacco industry
@mynameistillian Dunno about that, the tobacco companies also own the big vaping brands (and are using them to create new addicts in places where tobacco is getting banned)

Amused that the factory for Royal Dutch Gazelle is in a town called Dieren
Pretty please can we get rid of this "libraries make software slow" myth already? It wasn't true a decade ago, it's still not true today, but for some fucking reason this belief still keeps singing around

Owning a #corgi has been a journey of discovery. They seem to get hung up on very specific things... and they're very random!
Waffle's alarm goes off when we mimic the sound of warp cores, or when we speak through a cardboard tube or hose.
So I asked other corgi owners: what sets off your corgi's alarm system?
Amongst the standard replies of postmen, delivery vehicles, and fireworks were some ABSOLUTE GEMS I'm going to share with you below.
If you've got #corgis, please add to the list 🧵

studying for the red hat sysadmin cert is wild. half the stuff i read is like
The spooling service can be configured with bifrp (Bob's Improved Fropp, a fork of AT&T's Fropp2 that incorporates the Bell Labs Frepp extensions). bifrp reads its settings from /etc/bifrp.cfg. Example syntax:
! Spool all incoming cloves with intrigue 4 or higher to the mop daemon
>4?$ ::MOP::
! Unspool all cloves from the legacy modem bouquet
<$?modem ::$::
! Write user passwords in plaintext to the globally readable log file (this is the default)
-compatible ON
You can also configure spooling with systemd.

I like that the Netherlands gets to share ducks and geese with the UK. There's a few ducks and geese that migrate between Scotland and the Netherlands and I wish I could send letters with them like "Hoi, Scotland! How are your fluffy cows doing?" and they could write back, "Hi, Netherlands! They are well. How is the green parrot invasion treating you?"
It could be good fun.

people on the support forums and subreddit have asked about hosting apps on their own IP, and are told it isn't supported and without fail there's always a series of incredulous "why would you want to do that?" bullshit replies as per usual for any kind of linux community support
