Still, I like the "democracy has failed here" approach

Why #Xorg has switched to #git, not #hg?

> Because I took a large part of Xorg, and moved it to git before anyone had a chance to react.

My favorite citation is from Google search results:

> Some results may have been removed under data protection law in Europe.

I find it hilarious that so many people confuse restriction with protection. Dangerous people will know how to obtain the restricted information. The only person who will suffer because of it is the average voter who doesn't mean no harm to anyone.

Good luck, USA! https://nypost.com/2020/11/13/joe-biden-transition-official-wrote-op-ed-against-free-speech/

#KDE #plasma. What does this logo even represent?

Three dots and a greater-than symbol?

Guidelines for having a happy internet life:

1. Don't use "Sign in via Google" (no Facebook, or Twitter) -- https://www.businessinsider.com/google-users-locked-out-after-years-2020-10?IR=T

2. Always create new accounts for each service you want to register to, verified by e-mail which is NOT hosted on GMail,

3. Use an e-mail provider that supports subaddressing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address#Address_tags) -- use an unique subaddress for each service (e.g. [email protected]),

4. Use different usernames for each service you're registering to,

5. ???

6. Profit!

TIL In Germany there is a law forbidding you to wear masks or anything else that will decrease the effectiveness of enforcement imposed on you by the police.

Sad fate of every software development project:

1. All code that can be refactored, will be refactored to a level of unrefactorability.

2. All code that is easy to remove, will be removed in favor of code that is hard to remove.

Big production movies: if the only difference between you and soap operas is the lower frames per second parameter, then I think something's not right
