Free Software projects should endeavor to make successful contribution approachable for people "scratching an itch" instead of demanding perfection. Otherwise eventually there will be no pool of future contributors. Too many projects (seemingly ones with mostly paid developers) forget this and suffer for it, eventually.

AI-generated music pisses me off. Thankfully YouTube tells me if something is AI-generated so I can skip away from it. I wish I could filter it out entirely, though.

@zwol@masto.hackers.town @Mae@is.badat.dev @ariadne@social.treehouse.systems Well, it was until very recently. Rootful Xwayland was pretty broken behavior wise because it was tightly bound to the Wayland compositor setup. That decoupling happened at the end of 2023. Features were added specifically to make it better for supporting old X11 environments on top of a Wayland session. https://ofourdan.blogspot.com/2023/10/xwayland-rootful-part1.html https://ofourdan.blogspot.com/2023/11/xwayland-ro...

@pid_eins How do you determine what is a "powerful" terminal? And when systemd uses it, is there a case where it synthesizes the full distribution release string with it? That is, name + version + codename?

One of the most bizarre things YouTube has recommended to me in a while: a country-style cover of the #PokémonJohtoJourneys opening theme... in *German* (it&#39;s dual language, technically...). It&#39;s not like it sounds bad, but country style with German sounds so odd to my ears... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K53O9gfZCus

It might be April Fool&#39;s Day, but you&#39;d be a fool if you didn&#39;t check out today&#39;s #SudoShow episode where Noel, Bill, and I have a lighthearted conversation about pranks in the office. It&#39;s a nice break from the day-to-day humdrum with the #BusinessOfLinux. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wouwVS5W5bM

Protip: Make sure your username doesn&#39;t have spaces regardless of platform (Windows, POSIX-like, or otherwise). While technically valid and some tools can handle it, a lot more can&#39;t. Semi-related: it&#39;s really a pain to change the username in Windows.
