There has been some Mastodon discussion about whether it is appropriate to refer to techbros and transphobes as “motherfuckers”.

Alas, I feel that we may now be in a position where it is more likely appropriate (and, unfortunately, apposite) to refer to them as “kiddiefuckers”.

The #KDE 6.6 desktop window tiling/organisation features are greatly superior to those of the Windows 11 desktop.

The KDE window manager is much better at inferring what you're trying to do with your window layout, which gives more flexibility.

I also find that windows get "unstuck" from the tiled layout less often than with Windows 11.

@whitequark Absolutely. Where I wrote, "No-one," I should have written, "Very few people on Mastodon." @RejoinEU

@whitequark Labour's actual achievements in government don't make people angry, so no-one is interested in reporting on or discussing them. So far Mr Starmer's government has been a *massive* net improvement on the preceding Tory government, especially for working people. But it is impossible to ignore the continuing British institutional xenophobia, transphobia and Zionism. It's all anyone will remember. @RejoinEU

@whitequark What about giving workers the right to stick pay and paternity leave from the first day of their job? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c2dz16jxjp1o @RejoinEU

Source code is a business liability, so the only software development productivity metric worth considering is, “Number of lines of code deleted (net).”

@alienghic That sounds like the *ideal* application for machine learning techniques; patterns associated with an attacker should be unusual and therefore have a relatively high Shannon entropy, but in order to detect them you'd need to develop a reliable model of benign access patterns. @ocdtrekkie @cwebber @MichaelTBacon

@cstross@wandering.shop I think your list may be missing, “Space battles that involve so many fractional-c missiles that you need scientific notation to count them, and still somehow no planets get accidentally fragged.” David Weber, I'm looking at you…
