I can promise you that at the very least I will disappear for another reason — in a nuclear fire 😅

@MK2boogaloo
a simple and efficient way to reduce image to rubble 🤭

@nyanide @sysrq
Because Acme doesn't have a plugin that would nag you about using snakeCase 🤪

@PurpCat @nyanide
Why not gotosocial, honk or snac2?
There is also Mitra, but I don't remember how you feel about Rust 😅

@nyanide @Fash-E
Isn't it some kind on anniversary? 🤔
I've never even played HL2 (hate Valve), but it was on the news.

@p @vic
I don't know — I didn't write it myself, I'm using whatever Void's xbps-src is giving me🤷
The only thing that might be different in Firefox on this machine from the standard issue Void binaries, as I still had to rebuild it because I patch the about:config preference to disable WebP support, that Mozilla has removed, back in, is that it's built without PulseAudio support — I do not enforce it for every software I run, but the flag to disable it is set globally and it gets picked up.

5.0 absolutely horrendous chodes

At last — a valid reason to defederate Poast! 😈

@nyanide
As for Gemini you only need a tiny subset of what OpenSSL does, it might even be feasible — most just don't bother.

Sent from Firefox (without dbus).

@p @vic
Does it have to do specifically with dbus? Of course not, FF does a plethora of questionable things, like audio input not working in FF without PulseAudio, so I have to use apulse — luckily the output works with alsa.
I agree with you — it should be optional, but IMO it doesn't make dbus itself bad.
I probably wouldn't even have a problem with systemd — were it modular (and less bug-infested😏), BTW this would fit nicely with your approach: don't need the horse — throw it the fuck out!

@p @vic
I just tried stopping it (instead of restarting) and killing all instances of dbus-daemon running as user — again, nothing special happened, except for… yeah, Firefox — it didn't segfault though, terminated gracefully with something like "channel closed".
Ironically, I can start Firefox again without dbus running, dbus doesn't get spawned and FF works fine.
Well, what can I say… It's odd, it's lame, but so is its developers design decision.

OpenSSL? 🤓

Same here, I have machines that do not have dbus, but I have no problem running it on the ones where I can benefit from it — seriously, among these things it's the only one I have zero problems with. Overengineered — sure, but it's nowhere near as buggy as systemd and it's fully modular: you can easily replace it with another thing and you can even not have it at all.

@p @vic
> If I kill dbus, a bunch of shit crashes.
I suppose it depends on the distro, how deeply it integrates it and how modular it assumes it to be.
I have just restarted dbus in my Void system (where I even have elogind) — literally nothing started falling apart, no user-facing software crashed or got terminated, bluetoothd got restarted — that's it 🤷

@nyanide
Maybe even scare them… 𝔥𝔬𝔯𝔯𝔦𝔡 𝔠𝔬𝔡𝔢 😱

@p
What's wrong with dbus though? Something has to fill the role of IPC to pass messages between daemons and other software that isn't… you know, a named socket — something higher level 😅
Even OpenWRT — which doesn't have all the luxuries of a full-blown system, has ubus.

Even lol-winrar days could hardly be considered intellectual, but damn… look where we've arrived 😩

Despite all the practice, since I started hanging around Fedi my English seems to be only getting worse.
