What a striking name… CrowdStrike heh. They definitely live up to it!

Just learned about heliboard. Thank you! Wrote this with that keyboard and glide enabled as the others have said. Loving it!

Really good! Reminds me a bit of Mandriva Linux installer’s look and feel. Yes, I am as old as rocks.

Being anti-Semitic as a category should also include being anti-muslim. Semitic peoples include Arabs as well as Jews. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semitic_people

Diablo is not available on steam though.

I started going to a lot of metal concerts. More than in my twenties, and will turn 40 next year.

Been on Arch for the past 15 years or so. Distro hopped a lot before that

Sway, but used everything from ratpoison back in the day, awesomewm, i3, hyprland, openbox with manual tiling to Plasma. Just keep coming back to sway, seems like the best for for me.

Probably scrape reddit. Lurked there for 15 years or so, will now just change the way I lurk regardless of whether they roll back on their API changes or not. I’d rather they get 0 ad revenue from me and I donated my cash to support FOSS like lemmy.

Seconded. The Expanse’s intro song is amazing!

Oh flutter is with dart, not Rust. I was just giving a bit of my profile to talk a bit about my interests / background.

Kotlin is cool, but let me know if you change your mind about flutter. Though it is backed by Google, it does seem like it is gaining some momentum also among the FOSS communities, and it has the added bonus that the app can then be deployed on Android and iOS (or even desktop / web).

If you ever decide to do that, sign me up for some dev time. I currently mainly work with Qt and C++, but want to learn eg. flutter. Know Rust, Go and Java and a few frameworks around there. Frontend I did some angular and react in the past. For now I’d be able to invest something like 10 hrs per week.

Just this week came across Joplin https://joplinapp.org/

Few cool things:

• Markdown
• Multimedia notes
• Integrates with many cloud providers, including self hosted stuff like Nextcloud

I just imagined (incorrectly I should add, or over-generalized at best) that a person like this coming with a proposal to rename something that suggests past oppression is doing it to appease their conscience without even trying to solve the issue of racism. Just a PR stunt for their (and their investors’) peace of mind.

The ‘pretend it didn’t happen’ person just renames eg. ‘master’ -> ‘main’, washes their hands of the whole thing and in their conscience they are saints, made a difference, fought the good fight, etc. but when racism rears it’s ugly head again they just will look for the next thing to rename. It’s like kids putting a black profile pic on their IG essentially. What good does that do? You’ve eradicated racism, have you? Well good on you mate, what global issue should we tackle next? Let’s rename fossil fuels to ‘poison’ and call it a day, eh?

I have since learned in this thread that the renaming in fact should be a part of it (but I would argue not the main part) which is what I sort of agree with. For the real anti-racism we cannot realistically expect github, or Microsoft, or any corporation to do anything about it since they care only about profit margins and to look good.

I may have been quick to react calling this move dumb because of my distance from this issue, thank you for your patience to educate me, I will think 5 seconds more before I react in the future.

I also joined from the reddit AMA and just learning about fediverse (how have I been a software developer for 15 years and not learned about this thing is beyond me). Looking forward to seeing how this thing develops, it is an amazing idea.

Thank you for the recommendation I will add it to my to-read list.

Very true, I think I just got used to the former but the latter is objectively better indeed, will start using that from now on.
