Oh great. One more time zone to deal with. LOL. White House wants Moon to have its own time zone Coordinated Lunar Time (LTC). https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-68722032 Who is living on the Moon? Only some working robots are on the Moon right now. There is no permanent base or anything. The only OS that works in space is #Linux, so we should see a patch soon. Ha!

arongergely,

@nixCraft Can't wait until lunar daylight saving time!

OMG. This is the real deal. Bython: Python with braces. Because Python is awesome, but whitespace is awful. Bython is a Python preprosessor which translates curly brackets into indentation. Would you use this? https://pypi.org/project/Bython/ #pyhton #programming #opensource

@nixCraft only if they add goto statements and header files too. 😄 But why fix something that isn't broken?

Google confirms they will disable uBlock Origin in Chrome in 2024 🤡

arongergely,

@nixCraft I am waiting for the day when one gets literally burned at the stake for using adblock.

Network-wide blocking via DNS filters is still an option though, like https://pi-hole.net

It is the only process you do not want to see "done".

Happy birthday to the GDAL library, 25 years and counting!

With the #RaspberryPi5 releasing, don't forget how they boasted about hiring an ex surveillance cop, then ridiculed the people who criticized them for it.

Also remember how you weren't able to buy a Pi for months because they prioritized supplying their business customers.

I'm not buying #RaspberryPi products any longer, nor do I recommend them to my friends and clients. The Pi Foundation has become seriously out of touch.

arongergely,

@scy Has the Pi foundation said anything about that social media meltdown? I thought it was just the incompetence of whoever runs their accounts - but then they should rectify that.

arongergely,

Alternatives I have good experience with:
