In order for Linux to go mainstream, we need to get into schools.
I also think Linux is the perfect match for schools. Configurable, able to run cheap hardware no problem, has a web browser, wonderful to program on, etc.
@klaatu Do you still have #GWO season 0?
I've found the shownotes at https://web.archive.org/web/20071219173134/http://www.thebadapples.info/, but I can't find the audio files anywhere.
Also, episodes 2xxMas, 2x04, 2x07, 2x13, 2x20, 3x00 and 3x01 are missing, and 2x01 is corrupted around 1h20m or so, with ffmpeg giving errors such as Queue input is backward in time.
Copyleft Terms May Become Unenforceable in 11 Countries under CPTPP
@theoutrider On the other hand, there's something to be said for technology that encourages people to tinker with it, if only to get it to work at all.
#introductions
Hi all. I'm a master student of computer science and deeply interested in mathematical logic, category theory and functional programming. At the moment i am looking for a programming project to participate in. Possibly #Haskell, #Lisp. Love #Emacs.
How I learned to do the stuff I do
❌ School
❌ Uni
✅ Screwing around on my computer
I've been looking through the Snaps store (https://snapcraft.io/store) and found many copyleft packages with no link to the source. Come on, I can't even find anything on the Firefox page. I'm pretty sure that's a license violation, and coming from Canonical, too. Then again, looking at ZFS, Canonical don't seem to think they have to follow license terms like everyone else.
I always knew Firefox hated me, but with Firefox 60, I keep losing one of my windows on restart and every so often it starts opening hundereds of tabs with a specfic URI and the only way to stop it is to quit it (the one good thing about not being able to disable C-q) and hope it doesn't start again when I restart Firefox.
@klaatu Fixed your problems with building AppImages yet?
May the FORTH be without you; LISP is better.
In the 90s, MIT's Athena system devised a system to handle online harrassment. One feature of the system was that the notice of reported abusive behaviour sent to the accused user began with the phrase "Someone using your account…". Users were advised to re-password their accounts, as they may have been hacked. Password resets by UYA recipients were taken in good faith by staff, but the most astonishing thing was that the offending behaviour nearly always stopped there.

I need to remember this technique in the event of anyone doing stuff that merits a warning.
I think my MicroSD card is about to die - it's starting to randomly remount to read only, then I get kernel messages such as
mmcblk1: error -110 sending status command, aborting
Any suggestions for a good, **reliable** MicroSD card?
I only want a 16GB card, and anyway, smaller ones seem to last longer.
Pro Linux tip of the day:
echo -e '#!/usr/bin/env bash'"\n"'"$@"' | sudo tee /usr/local/bin/$ >/dev/null; sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/$; rehash
Now, no need to remove the $ at the start of the line when pasting shell commands.
If you're using zsh, you can just do
alias \$=
@klaatu Nice weather, isn't it?
Aaaargh!
I'm being driven crazy by an annoying high pitched noise coming from my computer from around the microsd card. I hope nothing is about to blow up...
