We must negate the machines-that-think. Humans must set their own guidelines. This is not something machines can do. Reasoning depends upon programming, not on hardware, and we are the ultimate program! Our Jihad is a "dump program." We dump the things which destroy us as humans!

AdaCore people were pushing for a C-like syntax for Ada. I found their post about it and I can't tell whether it's trolling or they are serious.

Link: https://blog.adacore.com/a-modern-syntax-for-ada

I write at around 10 lines of code per day. With this new syntax I save up to 30 keystrokes. That’s at a huge increase to my productivity!

we have created a font that allows you to display Ada code with the new syntax <...> The font contains other useful ligatures, like displaying the Ada assignment operator “:=” as “=”, and the Ada equality operator “=” as “==”.

What for the love of fuck is this?

Hot tip:
If you run busctl --monitor user in L'Eunuchs, you can watch every password that any application requests from your system keyring in plain text.

Security? What security?

Yeah, plain text passwords. Just as we expected.

Should an application trust that the keyring and its access are secure? Perhaps. Should the implementation just forward secrets over a bus without any access restrictions? FUCK NO!

Here I would like to remind you again that freedesktop.org people are a bunch of backwards shit-for-brain cockfaced retards and nothing - I repeat, NOTHING - that they have ever made is good for anything. The whole organisation is a circus full of clowns.

@cho l'eunuchs kinda does. DBus and freedesktop shit does not. L'Eunuchs can grant or deny access to various resources based on your user and what not. The problem is, once you get access to dbus bus, all bets are off and you're a god. And since more and more programs use dbus for ipc, l'eunuchs security is compromised.

@cho nuke Red Hat. Seriously, I mean it. Treat every Red Hat employee with repugnance and revulsion. Tell every single one of them to either quit and commit suicide. Red Hat is the primary corposhit behind FDo and is the driving force behind L'Eunuchs enshittification (have you even see GNOME?) and hence must suffer the consequences.

Other than that, I'd start looking for an OS with another desktop stack. No, BSDs won't do since they run effectively the very same user space code.
