"Mm-hm. It is evil, that sword."
"Evil? No, it can't be, it is such a joy to use!"

"Is this poetry?" the robot asked.
The critic raised an eyebrow, but read the text. "I'm afraid this means nothing to me."
"Then it is not poetry?"
"Does it mean something to you?"
"Yes."
"Then it is poetry."

It took me a whole evening to set cflags and ldadd options for via ... I seriously wonder why there's no example configure.ac and makefile.am on the web or at least in the gtk reference guide 🤔. Not easy for beginners...

Currently moving my virtual machines to gnome-boxes. Very nice having a GUI for QEMU/KVM. Only thing that bugs me is that my Windows XP machine can't access my SAMBA Server.... But that's Microsofts fault...

@Gargron I'm sorry so many people are acting like entitled morons over this. These people need to grow the hell up.

Just know that whatever happens, I really enjoy Mastodon and I support your decision either way. And I'm certain I'm not the only one with that sentiment.

@Gargron I love the trending section :). I looks awesome!

@hergertme Today I started using Builder for my stuff and I have to say it really doubled the joy of programming. It's just a marvellous IDE. I am not professional programmer though, just a c-hobbyist.

@Gargron thank you for reenabling the masto_light theme. I really missed it :).

Get this thing out of your home, folks.
