I love KDE and have never got on with Gnome or a bunch of other DEs.
Best bit of Open Source is we can both like different things.
Tammy Beaumont sets the record for most runs scored in an innings by an English Women's batter. Beating Betty Snowball's record from 1935.
And the 400 up for England Women in the Ashes test against Australia.

Today, the BBC has:
- a debate show about Brexit, featuring an audience of only people who voted to leave
- a substantial profile price of a pro-forced-birth American person
- a massive section on 5 missing rich people, feared drowned
- a tiny news article about 30 missing people, feared drowned
W.T.A.F.

Well, that’s the second best possible outcome for the people in that sub.
A very fast way to go. Probably didn’t even have time to notice anything wrong. Vs being barely alive and with rescue essentially impossible by the time you finally see an ROV outside, after days of blackness, terror, cold, piss and shit.
The only better outcome would’ve had to have happened days ago, floating on the surface. Even then you’d have to contend with the bends.
It’s all awful.

rescue 5 rich guys: around the clock media coverage and no expense is too much, because life is utmost concern
rescue countless poor people: rot in jail for 20y you terrorist!!1!

Imagine if we put the faces of all those lost on migrant boats on the home pages of news sites.
Rather than 5 rich tourists to a mass grave site.
@fuzzychef I run @opensuse Tumbleweed, almost daily updates, breakages very very rare. Typically the lastest Gnome and KDE 24h after upstream release. I don't have to manually reinstall extensions to KDE for it to be usable. If all goes wrong, boot into previous snapshot and snapper rollback. Snapshots are just as viable as OSTree.

Company: < goes through a twenty-five step process with an hour of downtime to downsize an RDS instance >
Also company: "We like RDS because it makes operations easier."

This may the most arrogant public statement from a corporation I have ever read.
You know who else relied on "experienced inside experts" instead of regulators to validate the safety of a system? Boeing with the 737-MAX's MCAS.
@bigcalm alcohol free beer then I guess.
@sil one might say that such an analysis exposes ones own bias.
@bigcalm go get drunk?
All the people calling Twitters refusal to pay what they fairly owe a 'comedy of errors' has clearly never been on the receiving end of it. Its not fun, its just shit and Elon is an arsehole of enabling it. Whatever you think of him, these noves are indefensible.
@sil I went to uni in Lancaster, a very wet place. More than once we were given towels walking into pubs, since there had been a bit of a downpour en-route. I always considered it a mark of a good place, being granted a towel if you walked in dripping from head to toe.
@monsieuricon aw, subtle.
