I so badly want a source for this.

Hyprland is now fully independent! in c/[email protected]

Well I was going to try Hyprland this weekend, but I think instead I will very much not do that.

I hope someone forks it from a good commit just before they replaced wlroots. I don’t know the specifics of compositor code at all, but I bet It’s going to cost them quite a bit of velocity to maintain their replacement.

The Biden Campaign is Courting an Unexpected Group of Voters: Republicans in c/[email protected]

I’m not so sure. I think it’s established that the percentage of Republicans who won’t vote for Trump is a lot higher than the percentage that will admit to it in front of their peers.

All we need is a few %, low single digits.

This is the correct answer. They need to remove the cap before doing anything else.

With Minnesota repeal, number of states restricting public broadband falls to 16.

I have taught my children epistemology for this reason. It is THE key skill in the disinformation age.

Republicans are pulling out all the stops to reverse EV adoption in c/[email protected]

I like it much better when Republicans stick to pushing for things that are just useless rather than destructive.

Mike Johnson and Donald Trump to promote bill to prevent non-citizens from voting in c/[email protected]

Wait, wait — let me guess. They’ll say it affects non-citizens, but it will actually create tedious barriers to voting that affect mostly the American urban working class.

btrfs appreciation post (lemm.ee)

Just wanted to share some love for this filesystem.

I’ve been running a btrfs raid1 continuously for over ten years, on a motley assortment of near-garbage hard drives of all different shapes and sizes. None of the original drives are still in it, and that server is now on its fourth motherboard. The data has survived it all!

It’s grown to 6 drives now, and most recently survived the runtime failure of a SATA controller card that four of them were attached to. After replacing it, I was stunned to discover that the volume was uncorrupted and didn’t even require repair.

So knock on wood — I’m not trying to tempt fate here. I just want to say thank you to all the devs for their hard work, and add some positive feedback to the heap since btrfs gets way more than it’s fair share of flak, which I personally find to be undeserved. Cheers!
