At the corporate event everyone is wearing a name tag with your title and the company you work for. Guests are circling each other trying to read the name tag and see if you're interesting enough to talk to. Almost no one is there to simply socialize. They are trying to sell you something, sway your opinion, or add your details to their records for future use. In the background the conference has a software app that allows attendees to track and target each other. The goal is to add as many people as possible to your network, or insert yourself into their contact list. It's rare to make a new friend.

O! from what power hast thou this powerful might,
With insufficiency my heart to sway?
To make me give the lie to my true sight,
And swear that brightness doth not grace the day?
Whence hast thou this becoming of things ill,
That in the very refuse of thy deeds
There is such strength and warrantise of skill,
That, in my mind, thy worst all best exceeds?
Who taught thee how to make me love thee more,

@chiraag@mastodon.onlineMakes me feel old that I remember having to tweak the `/etc/X11/xorg.conf` to get my display working. Nowadays, I mostly don't have to think about any of that anymore b/c Wayland "Just Works" (TM), at least for the cases that I use (simple laptop/desktop setup). I lost AwesomeWM and Xmonad of course, but Sway still scratches a similar itch. If I'm masochistic enough, I might try doing something on top of wlroots with config in Haskell 😂
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaTotal distraction. Per usual. But at least that work laptop has Slackware Current with mangowc and sway all running great and smooth. Add noctalia for some bling (although it costs me an extra 300mb of ram compared to waybar...) and that's good to go. VoidLinux and dwm tomorrow then, with a little help of Bakkeby? Yup 👍🏻
As long as I don't get distracted again 🤣

@NFL@darktundra.xyz @servelan@newsie.social"**Cheri Jacobus posted on X that George Conway was involved in Trump's scheme to force former Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy to retire and make way for Brett Kavanaugh's appointment to the bench. She also claimed that Conway was part of a Republican-led group that was courting Never Trumpers to support Kavanaugh, which helped sway the vote of Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME).**"

Tired with all these, for restful death I cry,
As to behold desert a beggar born,
And needy nothing trimm'd in jollity,
And purest faith unhappily forsworn,
And gilded honour shamefully misplac'd,
And maiden virtue rudely strumpeted,
And right perfection wrongfully disgrac'd,
And strength by limping sway disabled
And art made tongue-tied by authority,
And folly, doctor-like, controlling skill,

@cdarwin@c.im“It’s a new regime,” Trump said in a Fox Business interview that aired on Wednesday,
referring to Iran’s new leaders.
“We find them pretty reasonable to be honest with you, by comparison pretty reasonable.”
It was the latest instance of Trump’s trying to spin a “regime change” accomplishment in Iran,
even though analysts believe the war may have only increased the internal sway of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps

@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaThe vibrant landscape. I can't give it up. So many exciting things happening:
- RakuOS: immutable bootc image, but with a normal package manager. And Cosmic.
- Project Bluefin: the Dakota alpha is out, which is based on Gnome OS. So no more distro involved, pure Gnome as the basis.
- Butterknife: as mentioned yesterday Debian Stable, btrfs snapshots and a number of window managers to choose from (Qtile, Awesome, dwm, Sway, SwayFX, i3). Plus good looks and many, many script…
@cdarwin@c.imTrump said he went to war to ensure that Iran never acquired a nuclear bomb.
The war ended
—for now, at least
—with a demonstration that Tehran possesses an arguably more powerful weapon of deterrence against future attacks,
one that is cheaper to use, gives Iran enormous sway over the global economy, can bring in revenue, and can’t be negotiated away:
-- the Strait of Hormuz.
More than 12,000 U.S. missiles, bombs, and drones hit Iranian targets over the past…

@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaRemember that drama laptop? Last night I installed TileOS on it. A very interesting project, with River, Sway, Niri, Qtile etc. available. I opted for Qtile, version 2 (that version is now in testing, 1.3 is production). A quick glance yesterday showed a lot straight up working ootb. And great ricing also. Worth a check ✔️

NixOS with KDE on the N150. Solid.
Finally revived the old NUC with Slackware Tilers: Sway and Mango. And Dank. Great stuff.
The Thinkpad that wasn't sold: this will be either TileOS or Hatchery, a project by Troutcobbler, an old ArchLabs mate. Both Debian, tiling wm's. Cool. Check them out.
