  • Other video hosting providers are available if it ever becomes a problem. I don't think they will loose much sleep over this.

  • The Windows Interface You Didn’t Like, For Linux

    Jump

  • The few people I know who had a Windows phone really liked the UI, the platform was just mismanaged by Microsoft. For example, they already had a problem with having too little apps in their store and then they broke app compatibility between Windows phone 7 and 8. I guess Google intentionally breaking compatibility of their services on Windows phones didn't help adoption either.

  • This smoking pipe made from asbestos

  • I think this can be improved by adding Kents famous micronite filter.

    The "Micronite filter" in Kent cigarettes contained a mixture of crimped crêpe paper and compressed blue asbestos, the most carcinogenic type of asbestos.

  • There is this tremor stabilizing spoon for people suffering from parkinsons disease. I think that counts as spoon UX innovation.

  • Debian rule

    Jump

  • I think they should have either dropped the package or at the very least renamed it so people stop bothering jwz. Making the upstream developers deal with LTS versions they never intended to support is incredibly disrespectful.

  • Can we share our work?

    Jump

  • Sure, as long as it actually your work and this community doesn't become a dumping ground for vibecoded projects like r/selfhosted.

  • Valid point

  • Still one of my favourite WTF moments for Windows.Whats in the System32 folder? 64 bit dlls. Whats in SysWOW64? 32 bit dlls.

    Yes I know that WOW64 stands for WindowsOnWindows64 but its still hilariously misleading.

  • Debian rule

  • I consider jwz response entirely reasonable. The initial message immediately suggests going against his wishes and the rest of the thread is about whats good for Debian which is a project that jwz never wanted to be involved in but suddenly its his problem. If I where in his situation I would tell them to go fuck themselves as well.

  • Debian rule

    Jump

  • The gist of it is jwz, the maintainer of xscreensaver, received a ton of bug reports for bugs he fixed ages ago because Debian refused to update to a newer version citing "stability" as a reason. He added a warning dialog to his software to warn users that they are running an outdated version and to not report bugs to him. Debian maintainers patched it out because they are legally allowed to do so according to the license. I consider this is GNOME level of assholery. They decided on a shitty policy and then made it someone else's problem.

  • [...] Debian maintainer had inadvertently reduced the number of possible keys that could be generated by a given user from “bazillions” to a little over 32,000.

    That's really bad. It also seems like they patched OpenSSL without ever intending to upstream the changes.
