@luis_in_brief@b0rk I was once on the GCC steering committee. I saw our main role at the time as managing RMS and keeping him from driving the developers away. Burned out eventually, have been out of GCC development for a long time.
@not2b Yeah, virtually everyone who was involved in or near GNU for any length of time bears those scars. Thank you for your important service in building our modern world!
President Zelensky suggests Trump's election can strongly affect war.

@nixCraft the year of the linux desktop will occur when we stop asking ourselves if this is the year of the linux desktop and just let it happen organically
A tak serio, to nie wiem - zastanowię się nad tym za tydzień, gdy podsumuję mój rok czytelniczy. Nie wiem, czy nie będzie to "Zaginiony metal" Sandersona, ale pewnie znajdzie się coś jeszcze lepszego.
To my English reading tootline, sorry for all the political messages you are reading these days.
As a matter of fact, president Macron has been elected twice with a small majority of the electoral vote, against a far-right candidate, with the explicit promise that he would be the dam against far-right.
Tonight, he is ready to have a law passed that drastically restricts the rights of foreign people in France, under a warm round of applause of the far-right he had pledged to contain.
This is a sad night for France.
This is a sad night for democracy.
This is a sad night for the world.
You know what makes me happy? Looking up something weird like "why does my carrot have a green ring inside" and finding a forum post from like 2010 with a bunch of gardening enthusiasts discussing it. Forums are great. Searchable, readable, text. Still works 13 years later. Wonderful.
Tomorrow, 2023-12-20, at 1930 UTC, Edsko and I will do the final #Haskell Unfolder episode of the year 2023. This time, we're going to take a bit more time and talk about "circular programs", i.e., programs that depend on their own result.
