It's not just the Trump Administration’s H-1B visa overhaul that’s keeping people away from jobs and conferences in the US. https://computerworld.com/article/4110681/foreign-tech-workers-are-avoiding-travel-to-the-us.html by @sjvn

Who can blame them? I wouldn't come here if I weren't a US citizen, & even so, I have my own worries.

Dear Linux devs,
I am writing to you about a new feature request for the linux kernel. Since more people are switching to linux(because windows 11 is garbage) some games just don't work (because they require kernel level plugins for anticheat).

To encourage gamers to switch I was wondering if you guys can add a translation layer plugin in the kernel (like Wine IS Not an Emulator (WINE for short)). It can be built as a module and be installed via package manager like apt, pacman, dnf, etc.

I do hope to see something like this and hope that linux would be able to run Windows games on Linux.

So, anyone busy this holiday season? Shouldn't be too hard.

Instead of storing my data in the cloud, I just store it in the bush. It's the same thing, only palette-swapped. More accessible, too.

I'd give Zelensky a medal just for managing to not continuously mouth "what the fuuuck" while standing next to Trump and listening to the inane taco salad that is coming out of his mouth.

As someone who named his project "b4" -- a name that is really hard to search online, I totally commiserate with someone who named their project "age".

@jarkko @Foxboron I'm pretty sure this discussion is in response to https://gpg.fail/ :)

@Foxboron we do have something in the works to replace our web of trust already -- hopefully coming in the next couple of months. I was already planning to start allowing ssh keys at that point, so hopefully we'll have paved ourselves a way out of our OpenPGP dependency by mid-year.

@Foxboron Also, an established web of trust is non-trivial to replace. It's a similar problem to "everyone is still on facebook because that's where everyone is."

While the screams and roars of the "plz no more " crowd can be heard, do consider viable ways for the Linux community to replace it.

It's very easy to point at minisign/ssh and similar projects and go "use that". But it misses the convenience of binding an identity to a key, along with having a key distribution mechanism.

I think standardizing `.well-known/public-key` for lookups, and explore a path where we can jam a tlog into it would be interesting.

I believe this falls under "dem's are fighting words," quite literally.

The comparison is not favorable.

Oh by the way.
Everyone knows "Carol of the bells", right?

You may not know but the roots of this song are in a pretty famous here Ukrainian folk song Shchedryk.

@TheyOfHIShirts That depends on the rulebook. There are actually multiple sets of rules for baseball. The MLB uses the "Official Baseball Rules" rulebook (OBR). US high schools have a different set of rules called the NFHS/FED. And then colleges have a yet another set of rules called NCAA. The three major rule sets are *mostly* the same but field dimensions requirements do vary. The MLB/OBR rule set does define minimal distances for the outfield, but not much more than that, which is how you can have huge fields and relatively tiny fields in the same league.

@vegard Yeah, I guess "poop fart" jokes write themselves in that case.
