bought some screws (could not find them in physical stores), got some package material for free! Thanks, Conrad.

The new vue cli ui looks freaking amazing!
It also really lowers the barrier of entry, because you can click a lot of scaffolding together without needing to be a cli/package.json/webpack ninja.

Someone anonymously donated a million dollars to the GNOME Foundation. Just think of how many features they could remove with that kind of money

"But Microsoft is nice now!"
No, they just do the bare minimum needed to capture talent and keep developers in their ecosystem.
Ads in the OS? sure.
Proprietary blobs in their "open source" tools? aye.
Getting rid of dedicated testing departments and just using your own coders to test VS? indeed.
Locking down features into UWP? you betcha.
Skype?

If Microsoft can't go six months without their real colors shining through I won't start trusting them.

The far more worrying thing about the github acquisition for me is that MS will probably muck up atom, because they have literally the same own thing. The best thing to happen would probably be MS just abandoning atom to the community.
I can switch from github to gitlab in no time, but there really isnt a great replacement for atom right now, if MS gets their hands on it.

It seems, all of us (but especially the EFF) need to be reminded of the official list of major 2018 vulns xkcd.com/1957/

I know the EFF warning may sound vague or like fearmongering. I'm spreading it for two reasons: I trust the EFF not to send out the warning without good reason (and they've seen the paper), and stopping to use GPG for a day until we know more sounds way better than leaving a potential RCE running instead.

Und heute so im : drei events, eins davon shacklounge mit guter Stimmung. Statt Bugs in der Eventsoftware zu fixen zwei Führungen gegeben und neuen Leuten hackerspace culture erklärt. Auch okay.

Just had to mute a whole bunch of portugese-posting people to get anywhere on the local timeline. @ordnung do you have any opinion on listing our primary languages in the instance description?
