Imagine this was 1944, and the Allies were slowly but surely starting to defeat the Nazis; but then in the middle of the complex war, a new US president came into power, and he suggested that Europe should now achieve peace by letting Hitler keep France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Denmark, and Poland.

We Europeans would laugh at that president. Just like we are laughing at Trump right now, for suggesting we should let the modern day Hitler keep Crimea, Kherson, Zaporitzjzja, Donetsk and Luhansk.

glad we’re at the stage of our cyberpunk hell-timeline that we have corporate botnets DDoSing the free software communities that they rely on, leading to an arms race between the biggest companies in the world and a virtual anime person developing a proof-of-work proxy with an anime girl mascot that’s now deployed by the united nations

Yes, yes. Putin has always been a "peace dealer." I'd pay good money for that label to stick in the western media.

The web is broken, IMHO

So there is a (IMHO) shady market out there that gives app developers on iOS, Android, MacOS and Windows money for including a library that sells users network bandwidth. Infatica [1] is just one example, there are many more.

I am 99% sure that these companies cause what effectively are DDoS attacks that many webmasters have to deal with since months. This business model should simply not exist. Apple, Microsoft and Google should act.

I'm trying to get the biggest vendors to sponsor the LVFS. The Linux Foundation is kindly paying for all the hosting costs out of their IT budget, and Red Hat pays for all my time -- but as LVFS grows and grows that's going to be less and less sustainable longer term. I'm trying to find funding to hire a part time "me replacement" so that I can go on holiday for a week without stressing about internet and email.

Installing LineageOS 22 on my old Pixel 3a so I can give it to my kid for his trip to Costa Rica. If he loses it, I won't be too upset.

Can someone tell me which version of Python is in Fedora 42? I can't find a definitive answer (I get either 3.13 or 3.14rc2 when searching online). My upgrade painfulness level is always dependent on if there is a Python version uptick between what I currently have and the new release.

Maybe the Europeans are just fearful of the aggressive earwax removal culture. 🤔 👂

All crew,

We are planning a sneak attack on an illegal Romulan shipyard at 0900 hours tomorrow. DO NOT POST THIS ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

Så nå vet dere hvorfor jeg har studert norsk de siste månedene. Stakkars hjernet mitt.

The panicans choked on covfefe?

Nice try, "Opera/8.26.(Windows NT 6.0; sa-IN) Presto/2.9.171 Version/10.00", that's a totally legit user-agent. How about this bucket of 403s?

Hey, do you like reviewing code written by someone with zero interest in your project, who ignores all of your carefully established styles and conventions, and who routinely sends in asinine suggestions?
