To be honest, I strongly prefer the older classic "#HackBack! A #DIY Guide For Those Without The Patience To Wait For #Whistleblowers."
Se vi può interessare, ho trattato diverse volte di questi problemi.

To downstream #GCC users, this move open to the sort of legal litigations that affect the #Linux kernel (usually settled out of court, for money).
But what I love about it is the double-thinking of the supporters that few weeks ago were crying about the lack of transparency in #FSF gevernment.
This change has been announced by the Steering Committee to the GCC community without discussion.
A Steering Committe in the hands of few USA corporations.
But it's all fine, isn't it?
Ottimo intervento, Stefano.
Obietterei solo che se Montesquieu avesse avuto un'idea della diffusione capillare degli automatismi informatici e del loro impatto sulla società cibernetica, li avrebbe definiti come un potere distinto, totalmente indipendente dagli altri e con libertà e vincoli distinti.
Sarebbe stata una soluzione settecentesca ad un problema contemporaneo, ovvero largamente subottimale in un contesto in cui il potere economico e quello informatico controllano individui e politici.
Ma pur sempre meglio di niente.
L'informatica è come la stampa: senza un forte e solido pluralismo è pericolosissima.
Thanks a lot!
(By genre I mean musical kind... like pop I guess... did I say I'm out of touch with modern music?)
I'm old, boring and out of touch with contemporary music but my daughters are going crazy for a young French singer, #ErzaMuqoli: can anybody suggest me similar artists (in genre and age) so that I can help them to expand their playlist (they do not and will not use #Spotify as their father hates surveillance capitalism and prefer human suggestion systems, aka friends and #fediverse).
Any language is welcome (English included) but I'd prefer to expose them to less mainstream (aka non-US) perspectives.
Any suggestion?
Wow, after 25 years of Unix experience, I learned that you can filter output in #less.
Press ampersand (&) and enter a regex to show only lines matching the regex.
Press ampersand (&) and then exclamation mark (!) to apply an inverse filter.

Actually I think that low level stuffs with well written specifications are perfect for TDD.
Ages ago I wrote about this: http://epic.tesio.it/2013/04/18/stupidity-considered-harmful.html
La trasposizione della direttiva #copyright #UE del 2019 si avvicina: è in vigore la legge delega 53/2021.
Resta molto da fare per proteggere il #PubblicoDominio, come necessario fra l'altro per la #LibertàDiPanorama e per #WikiLovesMonuments.

I have encountered more image descriptions on Mastodon in 24 hours than I have in Twitter in a couple of years. Seriously. I'm not exaggerating.
As a blind person, this means a lot to me. If you read this and you describe your images, thank you so, so, so much on behalf of all of us. If you don't, now you know you'll be helping random Internet strangers make sense of your posts by typing in a few more words than usual.
OwO an FP based unixy OS kernel that could be adapted to #9P ?

Sad to see Google Analytics on the home page of a "privacy preserving" App.
Doesn't look much trustworthy... 😔

This thread is so sad, @aral
You won't find a solution because you have been fooled to align with your enemies against your allies.
If you can afford to challenge your public opinions and change your mind, please give a look at the sponsors of the anti-Stallman crew.
Then look at the people who wrote in his defense: https://stallmansupport.org/articles-in-support-of-richard-stallman.html#local-articles
