@thelinuxEXP it's pretty hilarious, I have to admit. I'm still banking on the total collapse of Twitter. Hopefully open source social media takes over at last. Love your Linux news by the way

Never thought Elon Musk would do so much for the adoption of a decentralised infrastructure…

Please Elon, can you buy Elsevier ?

Don’t just throw away that ‘junk’ in your grandparents’ basement – Redditor discovers legendary 1956 computer in grandparents’ basement

https://gadgeteer.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/r6h1afilbjy91-640x480-1-400x300.jpg On Monday, a German Redditor named c-wizz announced that they had found a very rare 66-year-old Librascope LGP-30 computer (and several 1970 DEC PDP-8/e computers) in their grandparents’ basement.

If you know people working at Twitter, you need to tell them to resign rather than do this. That company is asking you to absorb the institution's liability, and the muskrat will fuck you without hesitation if you allow the possibility of that happening to exist.

@zleap @derickflorian And if you’re obsessed with units (hey, I’m a metric expat living in a non-metric country), I recommend the siunitx package.

Yesterday, my local Mastodon admins called for people to donate voluntarily. So much money was pledged that today they posted a poll asking how many months of reserve funding they should keep on hand before donating the overage to charity.

Meanwhile, Elon's breaking Twitter because he desperately needs cash.

@JensHannemann do you use the same package for the diagrams you make?

That’s so cool @zleap! That is something will be useful when I do take my circuit analysis classes down the road.

My habit has been to regularly delete older tweets and to not use Twitter DMs for anything I wouldn’t say out loud, but many people default to trusting the platforms they use, which puts them in legitimate danger.
