I guess it’s finally the year of Linux on the desktop.

I had fun making this year’s free pride wallpapers. Now more than ever I think it’s important to show support for our LGBTQA+ friends and families.

You can find the wallpaper in Wallaroo on the App Store at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wallaroo/id1630565980 but also on our Patreon for manual download and setting on your home and lock screens https://www.patreon.com/posts/pride-2024-105704686

Be sure to check out the Featured tab in Wallaroo to quickly browse all of the past year’s Pride entries too. 🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

If Apple releases yet another major iOS and macOS without a dedicated Password manager app instead of that random engineer’s shitty little Shortcut that launches a system preference for you…

You know their commitment to keeping you safe is lip service.

You are about to sit down at a computer to work for about 4 hours, to accomplish something. You don't know exactly what you are about to do; you'll need to look at your to-do list for that. But you know you're going to spend about 4 hours doing it.

What is a noun or noun phrase that describes that 4-hour period of time?

Worth re-upping my boost of this one today, just before anyone gets carried away with edgy jokes https://discuss.systems/@ricci/112174382514043747

It seems counterintuitive but Steve is right here. One of the defining aspects of the conservative movement is that they don’t change, at least not for the better. They are firmly rooted in the past and the only way out is through/forward, not back.

Finding SQL syntax instead of map() or filter() is the kind of shenanigans I expect from PHP not C# but here we are

Why it’s usually better to work with a talented designer: here are some sketches I did for my own ShareOpenly icon. I, uh, do not have the touch.

I cut my systems teeth on NetBSD, and I’m glad to see they are still making sound decisions about quality. https://mastodon.social/@hackernewsrobot/112449741802974492

After surveying the field, it looks like Horizon: Zero Dawn is my next adventure. Thanks @penryu!

If the salary for IT/SWE jobs is so competitive, list it in the job description. Why hide it? What's with all the suspense? 🤣

Maybe Apple's problem is that it has too many absurdly wealthy old white people making the decisions? What's a $3,000 iPad to an executive?

/reads about a romance author getting locked out of google docs for inappropriate content/

“See, this is American Puritanism run amok.”

/continues reading, gets to the bit where they write “hockey romance”/

“You know what, Google might be right about this.”

Stupid econ question:

So it looks like a lot of remaining inflation is rent. In that case, wouldn't you want to lower rates to increase home-building and home-ownership in order to reduce rent pricing?
