Trump needs tariffs for preparing war.
15 % tariffs on goods from Europe. People in USA nomore can buy cars and machines from Germany. USA will suck.

@kiwu LETS GOOOOOOOOO BANGER
@kiwu hahahah it's ok! just give it some time :)
EVERYONE SAY HI TO @kiwu SHE'S MY LONGTIME BESTIE AND SUPER SWEET AND ALSO LOVES IDOLS LIKE ME :DDDD
@ HI KIWU YOUR PROFILE'S A BIT BUGGED ON OUR END BUT IT'S OK IT'LL FIX ITSELF
In 1996, they came up with the X11 “SECURITY” extension:
https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/4w548u/what_is_up_with_the_x11_security_extension/
This is what could have (eventually) solved the security issues that we’re currently seeing with X11. Those issues are cited as one of the reasons for switching to Wayland.
That extension never took off. The person on reddit wonders why – I think it’s simple: Containers and sandboxes weren’t a thing in 1996. It hardly mattered if X11 was “insecure”. If you could run an X11 client, you probably already had access to the machine and could just do all kinds of other nasty things.
*Today*, sandboxing is a thing. *Today*, this matters.
I’ve heard so many times that “X11 is beyond fixable, it’s hopeless.” I don’t believe that. I believe that these problems are solveable with X11 and some devs have said “yeah, we could have kept working on it”. It’s that people don’t *want* to do it:
> Why not extend the X server?
>
> Because for the first time we have a realistic chance of not having to do that.
https://wayland.freedesktop.org/faq.html
I’m not in a position to judge the devs. Maybe the X.Org code really is so bad that you want to run away, screaming in horror. I don’t know.
But all this was a choice. I don’t buy the argument that we never would have gotten rid of things like core fonts.
All the toolkits and programs had to be ported to Wayland. A huge, still unfinished effort. If that was an acceptable thing to do, then it would have been acceptable to make an “X12” that keeps all the good things about X11, remains compatible where feasible, eliminates the problems, and requires some clients to be adjusted. (You could have still made “X11X12” like “XWayland” for actual legacy programs.)

@lyse check out their song zenbu kakete go!! it's very sleek and smooth and just so vibe-y!!! also this live performance has an EPIC intro featuring ichika (violin girl) plus one of the members beatboxing and two girls (including my all time favorite idol, dambara ruru!) on vocals! it's so good
@kingdomcome I REPLIED TO THIS AND NOW IT'S NOT SHOWING WTFFFF anyway what i said was that i have some fun stuff in the daily note template already like ASCII weather forecast from wttr AND a jenny holzer quote from fortune!!! i should add more fun stuff!!!
Twtxt as a network is so neat. Sucks it isn't more widely adopted ): I feel like it'd be way easier to host than say, mastodon or GTS. & would require WAYYYY less resources. Not a diss on GTS, I love GTS <3, just saying _because_ it's text files, I assume the minimum amount of ram needed to host any of the twtxt server software is very low.
I could be super wrong though lol. Idk shit about anything ^^"
@kat I BELIEVE IN U!!! Making it fun helps! Maybe like put images in the docs so it's cuter to look at! I did that, but with physical journaling. Except instead of pics it was receipts & leaves & dried flowers lol
Howdy twtxt! How's ur morning going?

@kat Thank you! I have to check out more of their stuff.
@movq Holy cow! O_o
Reducing the overall screen time is desireable, that's right. I should do the same.
I wasn’t really aware until recently that programs can’t choose their own window’s position on Wayland. This is very weird to me, because this was not an issue on X11 to begin with: X11 programs can request a certain position and size, but the X11 WM ultimately decides if that request is being honored or not. And users can configure that.
But apparently, this whole thing is a heated debate in the Wayland world. 🤔
@movq How many? All of them!
My goodness, what assholes. Reacting based on the User-Agent might just work. For now.

@bender yeah, my friend's considering moving away from linode and instead self hosting. VPS stuff is a pain
[47°09′28″S, 126°43′11″W] Resetting dosimeter
This is just the universe telling me to reduce my screen time.
@lyse To be fair, I did first notice this a while ago. But no monitor I ever had showed burn-ins like this (be it TFT or CRT), so I didn’t know that I *should have* sent it back. And then it got worse over time and now I see ghost images after 20-30 minutes. :(
linode's having a major outage (ongoing as of writing, over 24 hours in) and my friend runs a site i help out with on one of their servers. we didn't have recent backups so i got really anxious about possible severe data loss considering the situation with linode doesn't look great (it seems like a really bad incident).
...anyway the server magically came back online and i got backups of the whole application and database, i'm so relieved :')
@prologic i am trying!!! i have a lil template to encourage me and everything <3
@important_dev_news Oh gawd, is the EU doing this "age verification" bullshit too!? Not just Australia?! 🇦🇺 Farrrrk!!!!! Help!!!!
@kat Just do it 🤣 I do this daily for work. It's great!

@movq i'm literally so happy i can't wait to play with it
We ate the #burgers and drank the #beers before taking a picture to the #books during the second #BBB (Books, Beers and Burgers) of #2025 in #Lamego - oops! 
Eight books and a few port glasses, with books in Portuguese, Spanish and English, one of them on an ebook reader, two of them Manga, four of them sci-fi, two of them non-fiction, other two crime fiction.
@kat Ooooooohhhhh, nice 😲

wrote a script to make epic aesthetic half tone images and i was impressed with myself how fast i did it but to be fair i already had the commands noted down and i just had to script it lmfao
@lyse the violin player is arisawa ichika, member of juice=juice who she's performing with here! the song is their track "future smile" from 2021 :) it's a banger!=
@movq Don't worry, this hype will end as quickly as the last one haha 🤣
@movq Sounds about right 😅
Really, it won’t be long until I give the world the finger and move everything behind Gopher or Gemini. It’ll be a while until the bots find me there.
@prologic I’d expect a custom build like that to cost at least 50'000€ here in Europe. *Used* campers with 100'000 - 200'000 km already on their clock are 20-40k€, apparently. 😆
We just met again after sleep to clean up all the rest. I now got food for literally two weeks. At least. No kidding! I feel really bad for taking waaaaay more home than bringing along. :-/ Turned out that a bunch of people were absent without an excuse. :-( That rude behavior is beyond my comprehension.
@movq Smart decision. :-)
@prologic Too bad, no FLOSS software. :-/ But thanks! :-)
@movq What the heck, that's terrible! :-( This planned obsolence right after warranty really sucks balls.

@movq Haha 😆 But OTOH not nearly as much as you think. Plus you get to build what you want!
@lyse Looks like it. 🤔 Didn’t dig deeper into this, just uninstalled it. 🥴
@movq It's about time to get a new monitor. How old is it, btw.?
Do I buy a new monitor or do I live with the burn-ins all the time? It’s getting annoying. When I edit images in GIMP, I have to double check if something is a pixel or a burn-in.
@prologic If anything looks expensive, then it’s *that*. 😅
@prologic Cool! What program do you use to draw this up?
@thecanine Nice! :-)
When tidying up my good mate's birthday party site last night we emptied the beer pong cups which had been filled with just ordinary tap water. There was also a cute dog whose owner gave it its drinking bowl, but it was not interested. Just for fun I offered it one of those water cups and it began to drink. We all had to laugh so hard because it was completely unexpected and looked so funny. Can't describe this comicalness of the situation. :-D
@kat Uuhh, I love this! Who's that, what's that song?
Been mucking around with designing my own camper (_floor plan_).
