if the goal of "free software" is to give the user control over how the software behaves then is minecraft[1] more free than, say, gcc[2]? thread locked by moderators after reaching 100 pages of intense debate

[1]: where an end-user can usually install >100 mods with a lot changing the game in nontrivial ways reasonably trivially without major conflicts
[2]: where combining multiple features from different forks requires lengthy conflict resolution usually dependent on deep knowledge of the systems being modified

If anyone is hiring or knows of someone who is hiring remotely in the UK or locally in NI for an astrophysics PhD who is cracking with Python, knows a bit of SQL and cloud computing, is experienced in both data analysis and software development, and is ALSO uncannily quick to learn new things, then hit me up.

ETA: Just to be clear: I'm not looking for astrophysics jobs. My experience in astro was largely in big data wrangling and software dev so that's what I'm after now!

Jemand komplett IT fremdes hat eine Web Applikation mit Hilfe von Youtube und Claude entwickelt (Vibe Coded!), welche Patientendaten speichert. Ich hab das untersucht und nach 30 Minuten hatte ich vollen Lese- und Schreibzugriff auf ALLE besonders schützenswerten Patientendaten.

Willkommen in der neuen Welt von KI, uns Informatiker braucht es bald nicht mehr, sagen sie.

Every now and then people share languages with very minimal or very uniform syntax (think Lisp, or Haskell, or Forth) and go "look, all the noise is gone". And to each their own, and familiarity goes a long way, but I think I've pinned down my feelings about it, which is "that wasn't noise, that was signal; I was using as scaffolding when reading the code and now I have to wade through every token linearly".

I just spent a half-hour hacking in the (GUI version of ) config file, and I have figured out abbreviations and custom keymapping, which means I can move my "production" editing from to Neovide with a clean Lua config file.

Do I need to move away from gVim/? I'm not sure, but we're in this game to try new things, right?

Is it worth it to move from Vimscript to Lua?

The source code of is now available on . PawFed is a federated map for animal welfare: reports come from the via mentions, and permanent places like shelters and vets are pulled from OpenStreetMap.

A location is not always required: if you have supplies or food to give away and can ship, just say so.

Found an abandoned animal? Just report it.

How to build a message: pawfed.org/tags

boost with cw, pol, anticolonial

"St Patrick's Day
is

Catholic-triumphalist
condescending
insulting
shamrock-washing
counter-revolutionary
all-round, general purpose horseshit

so
fuck your green rivers
fuck your green skyscrapers
fuck your shamrock-themed adverts

the real rebel soul of Ireland demands the downfall of every despot and the liberation of all who are oppressed by empires, tyrants and bullies.
