good thing I don't do C 🙃
Seriously though - projects defining their own strc(o)py do mean flaws in a standard library.

@ruth_mottram@fediscience.orgI think it is because so few have bothered to learn the history culture of our Eastern European friends. But in that sense it's hardly surprising that an invasion seemed such a frankly *bizarre* idea.
But Brexit had already taught us that weird misunderstandings of history ideology trumps logic

@blackknight95857669@social.linux.pizzaAbout to go check out a mobile home nearby. Listed as a "fixer upper" for $15k. Most worrying is a lack of pics showcasing the 2nd bedroom or the bathroom. It is 768 sq ft, which is 3x the space our current RV "boasts". Yeah, we literally live in a box. Frankly, as long as the place isn't leaking or dry rotting hard anywhere and the 2 rooms not pictured aren't on fire, we'll likely offer on it and prob what they're asking. After all, home prices here are c…

@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.ioAnd this is working, but it's slow progress.
Mastodon in particular has UX problems that will be very hard to overcome that prevent mass adoption, foremost is that actual conversations (aka replies) are unreliable and slow due to the way posts are distributed. Quote post support was a huge first step to remedy this. I hope we'll see more updates on it.
Bluesky got a big chunk of former Twitter users, especially in some niches like for scientists and activists; they have great performance, reliable threading and replies and really amazing featuers like fully custom feeds—but suffer from intransparent moderation and frankly insufferable leadership (still leagues better than Twitter or Facebook though).
(There's more than these, but these are what I use.)
@samvarma@fosstodon.org
@simon_brooke@mastodon.scotRight! After, frankly, way too much work, I once again have a garden gate which opens properly and easily both ways, and which closes and latches properly and easily. I don't love the galvanised steel gatepost, but it should not need to be replaced again in my lifetime.

@inthehands@hachyderm.io❝“Free speech culture” becomes bad and unserious when it starts telling us that speech is morally neutral, that we should not make value judgments against it, and that there is no moral component to promoting it. I am committed to the defense of the legal right to speak, but the defense of speech does not require us to refrain from speaking frankly about moral truths.
Giving Wax [a bigot] a platform to be a bigot is morally distinguishable from saying she should be free to be a bigot. “The only immoral thing you can say is that someone else’s speech is immoral” is not an ethos worthy of respect.❞

Part of that upward movement comes about because, frankly, of Haitians who are working and contributing to the economy and…and doing all the things that working people (do)…it is not in the best interest of Ohio, for these individuals who are workers and working to lose that status.” Ohio Governor DeWine as quoted by Timothy Snyder
@penguin42@mastodon.org.uk'minicom' is a TUI serial comms program - ideal for when you're dealing with real serial devices and you need to play with baud rates, and the like. It's not fancy, and frankly hasn't changed much in ages - but it comes in handy. In the last year I've used it with an Apple ][c, JavaStation, and Epson-HX20 - but even more modern stuff sometimes has that emergency rescue serial shell.

There's also December's links and boosts and that bit about the new year's war.

@cdarwin@c.imThis DHS funding battle is part of a bigger question Democrats must answer as they fight to regain power.
Large sections of the Democratic base are now echoing calls to “abolish ICE.”
Some Democratic leaders, like New York Senator Chuck Schumer, the minority leader,
are pushing back against this with much more tepid, unwieldy, and frankly pretty weak ideas to “restrain, reform, and restrict” the agency.
ICE is just over 20 years old, formed as part of the sec…
