 #Hyperplane entered beta! I have all basic features working and am mainly going to focus on polishing it before the release. It should now be generally safe to test, but I still only recommend it if you have a backup of your files. (Which you should create anyway :blobfoxevil:) Please report all bugs you find, any features that are missing and improvements you would make! You can find info about downloading it here:   @thegnuguy @bugaevc will you record it and share it later? I won't be available at that time but I'd love to watch the video later. it worked. JavaScript in UEFI :neocat_googly_shocked:

 @unnick Mine also checks for the universe for consistency, and UID, and fails if it's not 0 (Universe MPI Master).  So much legacy that it still thinks you might be running it on an obscure mainframe from the 70s that uses an even more obscure C compiler ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Hadn’t had my coffee yet, saw this headline and thought, “what could Al Yankovic have done to deserve this?” #WeirdAl

 @krelnik perhaps we should measure the weirdness of AI answers in ‘Yankovic’. 0.6 Yankovic for suggesting to glue cheese to pizza 1.2 Yankovic for the suggestion to eat a rock everyday    Sometimes I hack around with the transparency & blur implementations for #GNOME, create a #GtkWebView2 with a transparent background enabled, and just am in awe for a minute at what is possible on this platform (This is #connmapper rendered in a GTK WebView, I'm thinking of maybe distributing the Flatpak version with a GtkWebKit wrapper for simplicity, we'll see)   Why *doesn’t* fork just copy all your threads over. Like, there is probably some dumb legacy reason for why fork(2) can’t do it. Why is there no threaded_fork_np(2) that does. I made it (should I release it?) and it seems to work for the most part. So, like…we should fix this?
So even though *they* aren’t using threads, someone library they use might be doing it. But they don’t use any libraries…except the system libraries, which just exist quietly most of the time, might be using threads. Now you’re just scared of anything and everything.
Which is a depressing end result but honestly would have served you better if you were taught that instead of what fork can offer you in the first place. Anyways this was a diversion and the whole discussion has just served as a prologue to my actual point I wanted to make
For *non-technical people* trying to de-Google, what are some good Google product alternatives that you don't have to self-host? I'll start with Ente, which is a pretty good replacement for Google Photos, and Fastmail, which is a good replacement for Gmail and Calendar.

 @jcrabapple carnet for note taking, tasks.org for tasks & reminders, etar with davx5 sync for calendar & contacts, proton mail..  @jcrabapple I've moved most of me and my family's things to Proton nowadays (mail, calendar, password manager, occasional VPN use, and cloud storage), I use Firefox for my browser, Tidal for music streaming, and Telegram/Signal for the majority of my chats. I've been looking at ente for photos but it's hard to justify yet another subscription.  Major shoutouts and congrats to @leolost and @tintou who just merged the initial implementation of our Wayland shell protocol! https://github.com/elementary/gala/pull/1906 This means Gala can now position panels and docks under Wayland including with hide modes! Very exciting stuff. This is like the major piece for our Wayland session 🥳 🎉 @typeswitch it sounds bad BUT you can target this code to not work on multiple platforms in multiple distinct ways  C library functions are always like: "SYNOPSIS. This function converts foos into bars depending on the user locale. ARGUMENTS. src and dest pointers must be distinct; it is undefined behavior if they are not QPU-aligned. RETURN VALUE. Returns the number of foos converted. A zero value indicates failure, or that zero foos were converted. A negative value indicates that the final foo was only partially converted (function got tired). Check this global variable to find out why."

  @typeswitch Honestly I rather have this than some doxygen badly rendering on mobile, saying things like "Factory for ElementManager" for classes named "ElementManagerFactory" as documentation to figure out why my application segfaults again  @typeswitch ERRORS. EUNRDBL can occur if any of the following five conditions occur:

The worst-case scenario isn't that your web server is hacked and somebody starts installing malware instead of your tool. The worst case scenario is that this happens and the source of malware goes on undetected for years because the web server gives different scripts to different people. Additionally, curl|sh will seriously hamper incident response people figuring out the source of malware, because it doesn't save the script that was run anywhere. 1/2  Gaming on Linux discourse be like "It's Linux's fault. Do better, FOSS!" Gaming on Linux in practice be like:

 @soatok I mean, if people really wanna play a game that forces the installation of a rootkit to play it, thennnnnn 🤷🏼♂️  @soatok  |

@kramo@fosstodon.org Wait, that's super cool
I needed this
How would it interact if I, say, wanted a Hyperplane directory, and wanted to sync the tag data via Syncthing?
@kramo Neat idea, have been thinking about something similar to this a while ago
@kramo OMG this is amazing!
