It seems that a few people are being misinformed about the deprecation of the X11 backend, usually because they read screeds from well-known bad faith actors.

The X11 backend being deprecated mainly means that we're not going to spend time implementing new features, like dmabuf, graphics offloading, or Vulkan support. X11 support will still exist until GTK4 is EOL, which will happen once GTK *6* is released. We're talking about a 20 years horizon, at this point…

Well, it's #GroundhogDay, again.

“Only in America do we accept weather predictions from a rodent but deny #ClimateChange evidence from scientists.”

I share this meme every year on February 2. #science

:flan_bassist: "You write sixty books, what do you get?
Another year older, and contracts unmet.
Saint Peter don't you call me cause I can't go,
I owe my soul to my own bookstore..." :flan_keyboard:

Fifty seven years old today. Is it too late to die young?

The #RustFoundation is introducing a ridiculous trademark policy that is taking the free software idea sideways. I wonder how long it takes until we get a fork and new name for #rustlang if they really follow through with it. An open source foundation should just support the project and not be a playground for corporate American lawyers; a good example is the #OpenBSD foundation.

@mwl
dunno if managed to be the first one to get to you after reading your upcoming book on mail but I was curious about your mail setup so I poked around a bit, seems like the A/AAAA/PTR records for mwl.io are not working correctly (or maybe my DNS setup is messed up, won't be the first time)? PTR records for mail.michaeilwlucas.com ip/ipv6 return mail.mwl.io, which doesn't seem to have an AAAA record.

Looking for work 

Trying to live on charity doesn't work yet, so I'm afraid I have to start looking for work.

I'm looking for a part-time job or one-offs, up to 20 hours a week (eye problems), fully remote, ideally text-only comms.

My primary expertise is #Gentoo, so effectively a little of everything and very little of anything specific. Preferably #Python; I also did enough C++ to avoid it.
