@moiety "A spectre is haunting Europe – the spectre of communism." – a quote from The Communist Manifesto (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Communist_Manifesto).

@gargron Indeed, that is more likely :-).
I assume @citrustwee wasn't serious at all in the notice. But she is "technically correct – the best kind of correct" %). -
@gargron @citrustwee That depends. "Robota" → "rabota" is a shift in (Great) Russian that occured under influence from South Slavic dialects, Old Church Slavonic to be exact.
In Old East Slavic (Old Russian) this was not the case, so "robotnik" qualifies as a proper archaism, too.
Coincidentally, in most dialects of contemporary (Great) Russian and Belarusian unstressed o's turn into schwas which produces the same effect. That is reflected in spelling of Belarusian, but not of (Great) Russian.
In summary, strictly speaking it is not the current literary norm, but it is good enough for me, as it bears no divergent features of other Slavic languages, instead it is (Great) Russian that (slightly) diverged here. -
> Apache Software Foundation now hosts its projects on GitHub. Is that a good or bad thing?
@neildarlow Mostly neutral with a slight shift to bad. -
@yogthos It kicked in in Firefox too, yet Fennec completely refused to hide its own address bar after that.
-
> wtf? Apache Software Foundation moves to GitHub
@mararm Non-copyleft free software cannot be complete without hosting on a proprietary service apparently. -

@roland https://notabug.org/diogo/gnu-social is an active !gnusocial fork from @diogo that will likely be merged back after summer.

Guys over at LoadAverage are doing some pretty decent performance tooling some of which will probably find its way into !postActiv, fwiw. #postActiv
- lnxw37a1 repeated this.
-
@maiyannah I have it: https://paste.debian.net/hidden/4d11a11d (and it is applied on !loadaverage)!
And yes, this really does help with performance :-). -
@maiyannah As a downside, the generated queries can be extremely long (like 40 000 symbols), yet, for some reason, that works significantly better than what was before still.
-
@maiyannah Recently I've once again become disappointed with how this SQL query performs on !loadaverage, so I looked at it with a fresh eye, as a result https://notabug.org/diogo/gnu-social/commit/6b5450b7 was born.
Must be good for postActiv as well :-).

@mangeurdenuage I wish for no downtimes tonight.

@dawsports It took me a moment to understand what kind of work I did that you're thanking me for :-D.

@mangeurdenuage @liberty4masses Is it this one: https://smbc-comics.com/comic/the-offensive-truth :-)?

@celesteh And about the Kazon… I only saw the episode where they were introduced in Star Trek: Voyager, and it left me surprised.
So it turns out Neelix stole some water from them in a Kin-dza-dza'esque setting, and they are very angry. Meanwhile USS Voyager has the means of producing water out of nothing. So they beam two canisters down to the desert planet and then, when they needed a distraction, shoot a hole in both of them.
Why weren't more canisters beamed down there as compensation for the committed theft? It would've costed them nothing. -
> I found I enjoyed it more and more as it went on, but maybe this was a kind of Stockholm syndrome
@celesteh Oh yes, it was definitely there :-).
But the show still started to feel repetitive, and morally even more ambiguous.
In Season 6 there were even several episodes in a row when main characters made ethically questionable choices and the series rewarded them for that.
I suspect that this may be intentional as right after that Section 31 was introduced… -

@6gain @diogo has made some improvements to the @chimo's Nodeinfo plugin, so now it doesn't occupy MariaDB with heavy queries.
As a result, https://loadaverage.org/main/nodeinfo/2.0 is now available on !loadaverage :-).
And https://fediverse.network/loadaverage.org has more to show too. -
@celesteh I think in the later seasons (sixth, seventh) Star Trek: DS9 has got worse.

@schestowitz Anarchists come in all shapes and sizes.

@quad Before I read "And that's a shame", I didn't realise I'm supposed to feel bad about that.
