TL;DR: OP, a Dutch pixy, had a busy day caring for Arwen (presumably a pet), working out (with a shorter-than-planned gym session), going on multiple walks in varying weather, playing a Hogwarts game, and prepping for the next day. Despite a few setbacks and tiredness, OP managed to maintain a routine and stay positive.

he’s also unfit to follow. He had reached the rank of Major, and should be aware of opsec rules. Like most Trump administration members, he has a reckless sense of entitlement and believes the rules do not apply to him, and needs to be disabused post-haste. General Petraeus was sentenced to 2 years probation and a $100,000 fine for similar offenses, and that was already unduly lenient.

the problem isn’t that he is unfit to lead. Many of our leaders were unfit and nothing bad happened. The problem is that it is so widely known. Those under him know, their families know and ask, Joe Nobody on the street knows, and they all openly mock him. They also know those above him know and do nothing. That’s why they have leaks, because respect gets you silence and fear gets you whispers.

lmao @matrix STILL has the "Matrix 2.0 is here" (mastodon.matrix.org/@matrix/11…) post pinned to the profile even though "here" is STILL a very long stretch


It's official - Matrix 2.0 implementations are here and ready for mainstream use! 🎉🥳🎊 Come watch the keynote from The Matrix Conference and learn about the joy of instant sync ⚡️, next-gen auth 🔐, native VoIP 🎦 and Invisible Crypto 👻: matrix.org/blog/2024/10/29/mat…

in reply to famfo

well, synapse shipped matrix 2.0 sync back in Sept: github.com/element-hq/synapse/… which addresses all known issues which could cause client sync to drift apart. if you’re still having bugs let us know.
in reply to The Matrix.org Foundation

first of all, that's great, but, there are no clients which are usable for me which implement this.

Looking at the proposal there seem to be some major questions still unaddressed so I don't entirely understand the energy in implementing and the big announcement for something that is in an unfinished state with a lot of ambiguity in it's specification.



ahh, the upgrade has now been applied to my social media experience like a herbalist's balm on a burned face.

"completely hide the filtered content, behave as though it does not exist." what a very good feature.

goodbye theft machine discourse, I will not miss thee.

I've said everything I will ever say on the topic already:

content stealing software should not exist, and I happen to be physically stronger and a lot more vindictive than anyone who wants content stealing software to exist.



The cross-platform open source Kate Text Editor is a powerhouse of features

So many of us just use an editor for basic document or text file editing, but this editor does go way past that, and is also a very user-friendly graphical user interface too.

The editor has numerous plugins available to further extend that functionality. Apart from code formatting (as in for many coding languages), it also has sessions, colour schemes, debugging adaptors, move and splitting of views, a terminal, Git integration, snippets, and lots more.

You may say that VSCode also has this, but Kate is a lot simpler to navigate, and it is open source and will be around for a long time to come.

It’s been my own go-to editor for as long as I’ve been using a KDE Desktop.
