On November 12, 1833, there was a meteor shower so intense that it was possible to see up to 100,000 meteors crossing the sky every hour. At the time, many thought it was the end of the world, so much so that it inspired this woodcut by Adolf Vollmy.
Time for this week's #Linux and #OpenSource News recap!
In this one, we have Linus Torvalds dismissing most concerns about #Rust in the kernel, we have #Mozilla killing their mastodon instance, the release of #GNOME 47 and the kernel 6.11, or #Microsoft adopting #Vulkan's shader model!
i've made a thing: https://xkcd.fyi/
it's an alternative frontend to https://xkcd.com/ with some important differences:
- title text shown in a more accessible way (instead of abusing alt text)
- transcript included for every comic (with newer ones sourced from explainxkcd)
- link to https://explainxkcd.com/ (for when you don't get the joke)
- dark mode!
That is genius!
Update:
LOL, someone reported me to, err, me... The first report I have ever had!
Seems I have to clarify.
All junk calls I get, are either not legal under PECR, or actually fraudulent. I am assuming this is the nature of this call. If not, then not so funny.
I have zero sympathy for someone that works for criminals. Arguing that the only job you can get is working for criminals does not justify it. Sorry. But that is my free speech opinion.
So I won't be suspending myself.
