ERROR: Unsupported linker, only bfd, gold, and lld are supported, not ld.bfd.

Fucking buildsystems (meson this time), none of them are good.

Consider:
- Be as agnostic as possible: Don't hardcode, use pkg-config or environment variables on pretty much everything
- Don't test if the OS works, that's not our problem
- Strongly avoid workarounds, OS should be fixed instead or more portable methods should be used

This yuck feeling of seeing DOS line endings in C source code.

@lanodan C source code with Russian comments in KOI8-R is worse

Software devs really showing that they're absolute dumbasses regarding politics…

Reminder that dotfiles are based on a Unix bug. (they just wanted to hide . and ..)

And it got fixed in Plan9.

@icedquinn @dave Trudeau basically has political immunity, *that's* a privilege.

When was the last time you heard about a career politician getting in actual trouble?
The only ones I heard of getting in actual trouble were ones going against some kind of government entity or something related to a megacorp.

An employee can get fired from pretty much anything, a pop star can be cancelled for pretty much anything as well.
You're basically treating the horseshit from a people's magazine as politics.

As expected of a proprietary company this is mostly missing the important points.

How to get into contributing to open-source / libre projects? (note: there isn't just source code)

Scratch your own itches, make the changes you want to see or point them out. People can provide some help and documentation but they're not your manager/boss, they're not gonna point tasks at your without being familiar with you.

Don't hesitate to talk to project members before sending your changes, they might have better ideas or specifically want theirs and sometimes it's more worth it to let other people make the fix as it might not be where you expect it (ie. library or even into a standard).

Not everyone should learn the same tool/implementation, try some of them, pick the one you feel is the best, text editor choices tend to be quite personal.
Not everyone uses git, and even within git, not everyone uses the PR workflow, don't expect it everywhere.
