I’m just gonna say it — this “Genocide Joe” thing is the dumbest fucking liberal shit I have seen in years.

Joe Biden can do more to try to rein in Israel, but Biden doesn’t run Israel. He isn’t CIC for IDF. He isn’t deciding what hospital to bomb. He isn’t deciding what border crossings to close.

You know who is pushing the Genocide Joe narrative? The fucking Russians and the Israelis. Why is that? Well, it’s an election year, and Trump is a hard right, pro-Israel puppet.

With sadness and deep appreciation I must report the passing of Vernor Vinge, a titan in the literature that explores a limitless range of potential destinies, Vernor gave millions vivid tales of plausible tomorrows. My tribute to him can be found here:

Plasma 6 Release Candidate 1 has landed.

We are less than 50 days away from the final version of .

Along with Frameworks 6 and KDE Gear 24.02, the Megarelaease on the 28th of February will be one of the biggest and more complex upgrades in KDE's history.

One more RC will be released on the 31st of January and then it will be (hopefully) clear sailing until the final release.

    Hey folks, I come to you, hat in hand, looking for support. Financial support for has dropped off recently and I totally get it - inflation is up and is around the corner. We all have more important things to spend our money on.

    At the moment our outgoings are larger than our income, so our slush fund is dwindling away. Anything you can do to support us would be GREATLY appreciated. Here’s all the ways you can help:

    I had gotten to the point where I was posting only career news and updates on the former Twitter, but there's a point where not even that is tenable, and that point is today.

    From abortion to school prayer, Christian Nationalists have been making their voices heard increasingly in political spheres. Now, with Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House, this set of beliefs is front and center in Congress.

    In case it wasn’t clear what kind of person the new Speaker Mike Johnson is, here is an OpEd he wrote advising that states should “discriminate” against “homosexual conduct” and suggesting they pass laws around “sexual conduct outside marriage.” He is a Christo-Nationalist zealot. Of “The Handmaid’s Tale” variety.

    There's a deep-cult -underlying left AND right- to AMPUTATE our methods down to just the few they prescribe. Here's a dissection of this shared, sanctimoniously-oversimplifying, mania. So did tax-funded science play a big role in "Making America Great?"

    No matter how old I get, I always find joy in using :slackware:

    It is simple, easy to maintain and rock solid 😎

    I highly recommend giving it a shot - especially nowadays with complexity running rampanet.

    Get some :linux:

    The wiki has many interesting topics btw 😉

    57 years ago on October 20, 1966, Patrick Volkerding was born. Volkerding is best known as the founder and creator of Slackware, one of the earliest Linux distributions.

    Slackware, introduced in 1993, quickly gained recognition for its simplicity and adherence to the Unix philosophy. While other Linux distributions embraced modern package management systems, Slackware maintained a more traditional approach
