To anyone who has out-of-body-experiences regularly, can you please astral project to the alleged moon landing sites? It's time to know once and for all if the moon landings actually happened.

@crunklord420 His programming language doesn't even have wrappers for graphics libraries, last time I checked.

@djsumdog @menherahair I feel like he hates Stallman because unlike him, RMS keeps his free software activism separate from his other activism. Drew, on the other hand, believes in the whole "everything is political" bullshit and wants the FOSS movement to cater to his narrow worldview. You can clearly see that if you check SourceHut's ToS, where he bans White nationalists (with Trump supporters being lumped in) and crypto related projects. I don't think his hatred for cryptocurrencies isn't out of ego, unless it's an attempt to ruin funding for his "competitors".
Other than the pedo advocacy allegations against Stallman, Drew DeVault has openly criticized the GNU CoC for not being "trans inclusive" enough and has suggests replacing the CoC after kicking out Stallman, and he thinks the FSF and GNU project should be ran by LGBT and PoC.

@djsumdog >Then again, it could just be DeVault is supporting this because of his own ego. Hyprland is vastly superior to Sway, so rather than try an make Sway better, he defames all the Hyprland devs.
I don't think he still works on sway. Same for wlroots and probably bunch of other stuff people will attribute to him, he just started them and left.
In fact, I can't picture ddv acting out of malice at all. -

🤔 yea I have wondered about this. It is true that, at the very least, he's hosting and involved with the hit piece (and he's written his own on his public blog).
But it's interesting he's not banned on Hackernews (I am, both my personal account and my site, battlepenguin.com, were banned in early 2021). I do think there's more to this; as in someone(s) using him as a useful moron to try and dislodge the FSF leadership.
The open source world is getting super weird right now. Torvalds just capitulated to government sanctions against long term Russian contributors and called everyone who criticized him bots/trolls. Automattic should have had an easy case against a Silver Lake backed company that was clearly violating their trademark, but instead he's shown how little he knows of the law and looks like a massively insane, deranged asshole.
Then again, it could just be DeVault is supporting this because of his own ego. Hyprland is vastly superior to Sway, so rather than try an make Sway better, he defames all the Hyprland devs.
It use to be that open source devs helped each other make good projects, even if a new project competed with their own. It seems like when there's no money to compete over, and everyone's been maladjusted by social media, the next step is just to attack everyone whose better than you with unhinged bullshit. :blobcatshrug: -

Can we have the year of the Haiku desktop instead of the year of the Linux desktop? Let's have an actual desktop operating system instead of a mainframe/server operating system pretending to be one. Also let's have an open source operating system where (mostly) everything is developed in-house instead of a bunch of components duct-taped by distro maintainers.

On the "health benefits" of circumcision:
> It reduces the spread of HIV
This is kind of like when cheerios sponsors a study to prove that cheerios are good for your heart. It's very under-handed.
The claim is that less mucus membrane, that is allowed to dry out, is less absorptive. Which is not wrong, but it's also not that effective. Whereas a condom is perfectly effective.
The second reason why this is under-handed is because spreading HIV is REALLY HARD. In the worst case scenario (a man with HIV ejaculates inside of you), your risk of catching it is 1 in 20. Any sexual contact less than that, the risk is even lower.
And that's just for one person to contract it, for it to actively spread through a community, the amount of promiscuity needs to be so high that circumcision is just not going to change the outcome.
> It reduces the risk of penile cancer
Well, not really. It eliminates the possibility of a condition called phimosis, which is a risk driver for penile cancer.
Phimosis is a condition where the foreskin remains too tight to retract into adulthood. This is a relatively rare condition and is addressable in a number of different ways including steroid creams, stretching, minor surgical interventions - and of course adult circumcision.
Men with phimosis SHOULD get it treated, but it's rare and not that hard to deal with. There are so many other "rare and not that hard to deal with" conditions out there, that singling out phimosis as the one you want to prevent doesn't really make any sense. -

Circumcision is a contentious and slightly taboo topic - as such, there is a lot of superstition and bad information out there.
Most people either know nothing, or have strong opinions.
Most men are pre-disposed to prefer everyone be like them. Most doctors are pre-disposed to prefer whatever makes them the most money.
If you search "Should I circumcise my son" on google, you will think there's a Scientific Consensus that it's beneficial.
But if you seek out anti-circumcision material, you will think it's one of the most heinous and barbaric practices ever to have beset the human race.
The reality is that the health benefits are minuscule at best, and the harm described in the anti-circumcision community is often overblown or lacking in concrete evidence.
It should be immediately obvious that most cut men live normal fulfilling lives. It should also be obvious that being uncut does not carry any real health risks because otherwise these problems would be well known in Europe, where circumcision is near nonexistent.
My personal opinion is that none of the perceived benefits outweigh the risk of complications from surgery (doctor slips with the knife). This type of thing happens with a non-trivial regularity, and the result are life-altering and sometimes deadly.
Is there anyone here who is planning to become parents and is faced with this question? -

It seems like everyone who finally woke up about the two-party illusion went back to being full MAGA-tards after the McDonald's PR-stunt.

There are some valid reasons why people still use Windows and can't (fully) switch to Linux, but "muh trannies use it" is not an excuse.

@PurpCat @nach Well, Haiku is a clone of BeOS, and I don't think BeOS was ever used in servers. The only thing remotely server related I know of in Haiku is the PoorMan webserver, and it's a really basic webserver at that.

@PurpCat @nach I want an actual desktop operating system, not some server or mainframe OS pretending to be one. Haiku seems like the perfect choice for me, but it needs more supported hardware and software for me to use it as a daily driver.

>it's over
No, it's not. Linux is still usable and you don't have to give the Linux Foundation any money. I think there would be enough people to maintain a stable fork if worse comes to worst.None of the other options (BSD, illumos, etc) can realistically run on anything other than the exact old ThinkPad model that the contributors use.

Working on the end text for the game. It's obviously in a rough state right now. I need to implement proper word-wrapping (the current text is wrapped manually), and have it better timed before the credits.

I can't believe this guy literally sacrificed his rare, almost half-year of freetime just to work on an unmonetized YouTube channel, but he is the only guy I could think of who would do this.
However, he sacrificed a rare opportunity to travel the world, something he did mention, but I guess there were still some countries with COVID restrictions at the time, so I guess it made sense.
