I'm probably preaching to the choir here, but there absolutely _needs_ to be a federated version of GitHub/GitLab.

Let me host my projects' critical infrastructure (issue tracker, PRs, private repos etc) on my own servers, while also being able to interact and socialize with the rest of the open source world.

I'll keep saying this until someone builds it - I would do it myself if I had enough time on my hands right now.

For the curious: this is a style transfer of one of van gogh's paintings (specifically, starry night) onto loss

hello I would like to announce that I am done with programming, now I just make art in the style of vangogh

tfw ran into a project whose makefile can't spawn more than one concurrent job so I just end up with one core pegged at 100% while everything else is just idling

USpol, transmisia, long; personal request: Chicago 

I am a nonbinary individual located in the Midwestern US region.

The Department of Health and Human Services is planning to revoke transgender, nonbinary, and Intersex people's rights by redefining gender as either male or female, as determined by a person's original birth certificate.

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-change-transgender-definition-745214/

This flies in the face of international law, and would put thousands of people's lives at risk. Including mine.

If you are in Chicago or can be in Chicago tomorrow: I need your help. I need you to go to the DHHS office at 15:00 tomorrow and ask to speak to Steven Mitchell, Acting Regional Manager of the Office of Civil Rights. Tell him and the staff that transgender, intersex, and nonbinary people are real. We exist. We have rights. And he cannot take them away.

Address is: 233 N. Michigan Ave., Suite 240
Chicago, IL 60601

Alternatively, you can call the Customer Response Center: (800) 368-1019 any time in the morning. Others will be doing the same.

Please share this post as widely as possible. Copy/paste to email if need be. I don't care what your gender is, we need bodies of all stripes IN ACTION.

Thank you.

I just ate cheerios with water because there's no water and I am Not Doing That Again

Huh, new feature on the Internet Archive: go to any audio item and click the Llama in the upper-right(ish) corner. Depending on your history with computers, you may be able to guess what it does.

presidential alert stuff 

So really I don't understand why everyone is all angry about the emergency alert system... It has always existed but as soon as the test was announced we all decided to hate it "because trump is president and one of the alert codes is about the president"... It's nothing new folks

can i interest you in some alphabet stew
