Happy National Tweed Day

I am aggressively opposed to racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, nationalism, ethnocentrism, religious fundamentalism, and oppressive and coercive power structures of all kinds.

what if cpu wafers were huge, contained hundreds of cores, and distributed load among cores to optimize passive cooling, with the ability to switch in active cooling when many cores are in use simultaneously

Hello. Don’t indulge your emotions. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Fuck them, pirate that shit.

Good morning. Being important isn’t important. Being a good person is. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Good morning. Be comforting. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Good morning. Worry never solved anything. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Good morning. Focus on one thing at a time. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Good morning world. Don’t be the kind of person who wants to finish something just so they can do something else. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

@t0k @rysiek @ebel @ffeth @Gargron It might be a bit tricky to determine what counts as user interaction at a distance:

AGPLv3 requires a program to offer source code to “all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network.” It doesn’t matter if you call the program a “client” or a “server,” the question you need to ask is whether or not there is a reasonable expectation that a person will be interacting with the program remotely over a network.

E.g., if I modified an AGPL browser and used it to chat with you via some website, would I need to offer the source code of my modifications to you? However, based on the previous opinions of the FSF (https://web.archive.org/web/20100630185154/https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#AGPLv3ServerAsUser ), the intention is likely no.

This wouldn’t stop me from licensing client code as AGPL, especially since it’ll likely prevent any google employee from ever using it.

Prof. Stephen Hawking, the last comment on reddit:

“If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed. Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution. So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with technology driving ever-increasing inequality.”

Good morning world. Be patient. Be friendly. Be comforting. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Computers - just say no, comrade!

Experimental Nautilus GTK4 builds are looking very promising 🤩
