@lritter Just casually changed some getSomething to setSomething in stuff adjacent to what it was changing because why not.
@SonnyBonds oof :)

I know you're excited. I know it's exciting news.
Remember to be kind and considerate.
Is anyone using Niri with guix-home and would be willing to share their config? Thanks! #guix
I've been interested in trying Niri for a while since @expede told me how nice it was https://github.com/niri-wm/niri
In the latest Guix release my custom shortcuts broke so I feel like the issue has been forced ;|
When can we start impeachment?
Like today, maybe late afternoon?
@stux let's have a nice afternoon tea first with some mimosas or prosecco, not so hasty.
Ob da noch eine Erdnuss reinpasst? Ich habe gelesen, die Eichelhäher können bis zu acht Eicheln in ihrem Kehlsack hamstern.

@majorlinux we need to get schumer and jeffries promoted to civilian again
@sidewayshighways That’s a start.
But until the people become organized to take the power for themselves, even these progressives can be bought out by the ruling class.
¡Anda! Ya vuelve a funcionar la webcam de Sol, qué raro, ¿no? Llevaba más de un mes sin funcionar por razones técnicas.

Those "other" polls are closed, but you can still vote here for a little while!
No stickers though, I'm afraid.
@keefmarshall Bonk Wave was ahead when I voted. Can't believe the wider 'verse allowed purple cats to take over. 🙄
SpaceX is working with Qualcomm to build its Starlink Mobile 5G network https://www.theverge.com/science/1026287/spacex-qualcomm-starlink-mobile-5g-netwowrk
@fortifieduniverse I guess it is offensive, and I'm sorry if it came across as rude. 🫣
I hope I made it clear that I personally don't judge anyone for how they choose to make something.
Do you think I shouldn't be making such distinction at all, then?
@amadeus but that's exactly what's happening... judgement. we're judging plug-in developers based on, in some cases, how we _think_ they're building their software.
i think in not so many years, this situation is going to flip, and we'll be looking at hand-coded software as a relic of a bygone era. i've been building software for 40+ years, almost all of it the slow way. and the benefits of these new approaches significantly outweigh the negatives. we're moving into a new era of software.

L’Arcom a directement saisi la justice pour ces sorties d’Éric Zemmour après le 17 octobre
Le candidat d’extrême droite à la dernière présidentielle avait affirmé sur LCI que « des hordes de barbares maghrébins et africains » étaient rentrées « dans les villes ».
No me acordaba que mi Wii sí que lee películas en DVD con WiiMC-SS 😊
Me compré la consola en 2008 y tiene un lector que sí que es compatible con el software necesario reproducir películas. Hay otros modelos que no.
@salva_pl No se si has visto esto. https://virtuallyfun.com/2026/10/29/my-favourite-powermac-is-a-nintendo-wii/
#30DayMapChallenge Day 4 - Clusters
BOG MOSS. Yes. That's what I said. Did you think I was going to do something political??
For day 4 I explored data about moss. This uses data from NBN Atlas and clusters recorded sightings of different species of moss
Every now and then Big Tech will shoot themselves in the foot and send waves of disappointed users our way. Yesterday was one of these days, as Google doubled down on their efforts to force AI down everyone's throats — this time school students.
So if you're a teacher, a school administrator, or know anyone on any school boards, anywhere in the world...would you kindly let them know that there is an independent European alternative with no AI? We'd love to talk!
@Vivaldi my first thought was "Google comes out swinging. K-12 schools respond with Duck. Duck. Go!" 🤣🤣
May not be completely accurate, but that's just how my brain freestyles sometimes. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@gardiner_bryant I do not really see what is whataboutism in my statement. If you can pinpoint it, please.
As for the "good people". I'm not saying all are terrible. What I wish is to express my opinion on this hyper correction that the "fall" of Republicans will make everything perfect.
Now, it is indeed true that Democrats are going with better goals, ideals and are actually trying to do at least something with the corporate state the USA is.
But I'd be still vary.
@The_Universality I hear "lesser of two evils" and that smacks of whataboutism to me.
By that, you're saying: "Sure, Democrats are better than Republicans, but what about the fact that Democrats are evil?"
I loathe the Democratic party establishment. They're complicit in Trump's executive overreach. But I wasn't saying "good guys win" because Chuck Schumer's picks were victorious. I was saying "good guys win" because progressive candidates that Schumer didn't want to win, won.
@glynmoody A strange new problem: real images that look too remarkable now get dismissed as fake. Provenance tools usually focus on flagging AI content, but proving something is genuine may matter just as much. Raw files and metadata could become the photographer's best defence.
