In today's adventures in having a real bad fucking day:

Firefox for Android (140.0.3) can't handle links that are too long. What kind of links would be too long for the browser?

Oh, y'know... the new Linux crashdump QR codes, perhaps? They contain an entire compressed kernel log, after all, they're pretty fucking long. A manually triggered crash is approximately 6300 characters, more complex problems are likely far more. Example image below, for those who want to try it out (assuming compression didn't obliterate it.)

What does this affect? You can open the tab fine, but doing so breaks the omnibar in all tabs and it'll just segfault when you try to use it from ANY tab. I can't report it, because Mozilla's ticket system sucks ass.

ok maybe installing to an NFS share causes issues when it's a modern Linux box that... cares about permissions.

"gcc keeps losing track of includes by stage2 because it tosses out all cflags for stage2 onward of the mandatory bootstrap procedure"

at this point, fuck it, copy the entire system includes folder into the gcc folder. i don't care anymore. at this point i consider gcc an enemy combatant.

Petition: Legally enshrine the right of adults to physically transition using NHS services

Introduce a law to legally protect the right of those aged 18 and over to transition using NHS services. This should specifically cover physical transition, including hormone treatment and surgery, as otherwise I believe it could potentially be interpreted as including conversion therapy.

I've been sitting on this for a while, and it's not much, but in light of Wellnhofer's contribution I'd like to propose:

apply for passports right the fuck now if you can at all come up with the money, this is a second chance you may not get a third once this case reaches the supreme court

even if you don't intend to leave the country! a correct passport is a lifeline that effectively makes you cis in the eyes of the federal government

do not miss this chance!!!! it could save your life!

General PSA: don’t apply for a job at Canonical. Do NOT apply for a job at Canonical. Treat the blatantly artificially enormous number of job openings they post as the mirages of trickster fae. They are unhinged. Mark Shuttleworth is unhinged. They will drag you through the mud, disrespect you and your time, and definitely not give you a job. This article I saw today is like the thirteenth of its kind that I personally have seen https://dustri.org/b/my-experience-with-canonicals-interview-process.html
