I saw Lunduke mentioned in the programming thread and it made me look up his channel. I then saw this thumbnail.

Stealing some twitter comment, "how the fuck are you supposed to run it if its non binary"?

The brand guidelines for the mascot dont specify the pronouns afaik, the meme was started by some random faggot who referred to the mascot as non binary. The announcement text on Firefox uses singular they, and to be frank, I'm fine with that, i really dont give a shit what sex or "gender" is a fox in my web browser. This mascot is like the dog from Windows XP search, its genderless, its a symbolic drawing, if you think about sex or gender when you see it, you are mentally ill.

The dog's name is Rover by the way.

Not sure if this is the right place to post it, but it seems like on the Arch Wiki, they deleted the xlibre page over some bogus CoCk violation. The users seems angry and the admins are covering it up. I would suggest to take a look at this

This is very disappointing to see coming from the Arch Wiki. Very Kafkaesque. Vladimir Lavallade is beyond unreasonable and is clearly unfit for his role. The mental gymnastics is so weak and lame.

Meet the new leader of the Debian Project, Sruthi Chandran.

She ran unopposed.
 
I mean Jeet or no, she's (probably) cis and has supposedly made commits. It's not a 'corporate shaman' situation.

Scant comfort, of course.

I was honestly expecting NOTA to win... She has tried for years and got last place every single time, I guess she even got last place now. Anyone but an Indian would feel shame and give up after two tries, but here we are. Do whatever you can to get that inkling of power, she has played the game well. +100 izzat.
Luckily I doubt she is competent enough to harm Debian in any way whatsoever.
Her main goal from what I understand is getting more women involved, and with her being a jeet, more jeetas. Minority becoming majority is still diversity eh?

I expect techical capability will become less important to Debian than brownness or absence of a functional penis.


Packaging, apparently, including lots of fonts. Better than nothing, I guess.

Yeah, it isn't like Debian has been struggling with a lack of competent coders to maintain its tools for literal decades at this point (never mind that a paid rustoid was just able to just swoop in and take over a core tool against all better judgement/complaints/other contributors, ruining decades of work because their employer needs to check a "memory safe" checkbox).

I can't understate how disheartening it is to see fucking subhumans from India infesting every organization in the world, except those which are Jewish of course, and diverting resources to India.

I don't even like seeing it happen to Microsoft. I saw a video some currynigger made about how many perks he gets from Microsoft, and he was listing the prices of everything in rupees, always zero. My very first thought was how that fucking currynigger has a job sabotaging Microsoft, and yet I don't. Businesses shouldn't be necessary to live a good life, but they currently are, and everything happening around us is beyond insane.

Still, Debian only has itself to blame, considering no one else cared enough to run for this position at first, unfortunately. There's some suspect stuff with one candidate getting hospitalized, however, and some Indian drowned, it's always drowning with Indians, at a Debian event this ogre organized a few years back.

With any luck Debian LTS is slow moving enough that if she truly fucks things up they can be reverted before a major release cycle.

Agreed. If Debian weathers this shitshow well enough, I intend to join the organization and perhaps make positive contributions. After all, it's a little silly to complain about these organizations without participating in them.

In the meanwhile, maybe I'll finally learn how to install Gentoo.
 
I ditched Ubuntu for Debian, then for Devuan, then for Gentoo. At least Gentoo's Portage works with as many 3rd party repositories as you want, and it's not that hard to make your own, some people already made a XLibre overlay. Gentoo devs can't censor it without directly banning the name in Portage's source code, but them putting in a blacklist for repositories would be insane. They could delist it from the official list of overlays that everyone adds their overlays to, but being listed isn't a requirement, it's just so that people find it easier.
 
The gomuks Matrix client used to be a TUI-only program written in Go, it was entirely usable and functional, it supported the E2E encryption protocol that Matrix uses, OLM, could even display pictures in terminals with sixel support. It could be run in any terminal, without a GUI like X11 or Wayland. Then its primary developer, tulir (Tulir Asokan) started to add a webshit frontend to it, or rather rewrote the backend to be a webserver that served the webshit client and acted like a bouncer. All the development and added features are now done only to that webshit frontend, the TUI frontend has frozen in time. At least it still works but the future looks bleak for the only usable TUI Matrix client.
Interestingly, the organization also lists another member nexy7574 aka timedout whose bio only says "xx" (as in two x chromosomes like a woman). The screenshots show chats with people with trans flags in their names and "it" pronouns.
Smells like another case of tranny infestation, but at least now I can't find anyone else to blame than the original developer that doesn't seem to be a tranny.

That results page is the most violently autistic voting report I've ever seen, good lord. How hard is it to just say "the obese, baboon-faced street shitter with a nose ring got 289 votes, and the only other option, 'none of the above', got 50 votes, so she wins"?

I assume it was generated (likely by some perl script written 20 years ago when technically competent people and developers still contributed to Debian without being paid for it).

I take it you've either never tried to package something for Debian before or have a severe masochistic streak. debhelper etc. only go so far in hiding the pain.

Yes, I've never tried. While masochism is unappealing to me, I'm still a user of GNU/Linux, so I'm accustomed to it by now. In fact, I got an out-of-memory error which froze the machine when writing this very post, and had to rewrite it after hitting my designated "shoot Firefox in the head" button.

Well, get ready to memorize hundreds of pages of packaging guidelines, dig through 20+ years of accumulated script cruft when something fails, and kissing ass among the existing (extremely political at this point) Debian developers in the hope one of them agree to meet you physically, verify your ID/passport and sign your key(s) and sponsor your first upload.
