@calvin (also nothing today is 'better' than *nix, not because of how good it is but because none of the alternatives are appropriate. Everything falls short in one or more aspects.)

@calvin Worse was better, but now better no longer exists.

@calvin I don't think the x86_64 port counts as 'coming back' - it just seems to be continuing a steady-state in a new environment.

@helldude calling them a little nazi seems...extreme.

@mono text-mode browsers? (i'm not one of them)

@kurisu A better emacs would be nice...as long as it doesn't have modality like Vim. I never liked that.

@matt you could always build your own .deb. Isn't that hard, there's a target for it in the makefile.

@uranther There weren't that many dragons, but I haven't installed much yet - only the basic @world defined by the profile. Next thing will be to take random packages from my regular word file and see what builds.

@feld more obvious fakeness can also be funny, e.g: https://twitter.com/FriendlyMangler/status/1029911232948649984

@jeff 🥖

@nev nope. I believe Dropbox won't be supporting NTFS on Linux.

@Elizafox port PE executables so you can have PE on your Wang.

@StuartBotfield For securely verifying files, wouldn't it be a good idea to use a checksum or hash that isn't broken as shit?

this is an actual real headline today: 'British tourist moans her Benidorm holiday was ruined by 'too many Spanish people''

When you look at the entire article it makes much more sense but you can't deny that alone it's a bloody hilarious headline.

@calvin haven't you always disliked GNU though

@Rob that's a very nice low RAM usage number.

today on stupid #blockchain shit also involving #jpeg and #drm: https://davidgerard.co.uk/blockchain/2018/08/10/the-jpeg-committee-is-exploring-blockchain-to-put-drm-into-jpeg/

@unascribed does your filesystem need a fsck today? Perhaps later I'll mount and umount it.
