You reminded me, I had to go see if suckless.org and dwm still existed:https://dwm.suckless.org

Because dwm is customized through editing its source code, it's pointless to make binary packages of it. This keeps its userbase small and elitist. No novices asking stupid questions.

To keep this on Elmo topic:

dwm is only a single binary, and its source code is intended to be kept small.

elon: fire 50% of the company
managers: okay it'll take us a while but we can get you the list within the month
elon: do it by friday
managers: elon, i mean, lord elon, today is wednesday
elon: just find out how many lines of code they wrote in the last 30 days then sort them and fire the bottom half of that list.
managers: elon we told the interns last week to rename over 1000 files that will credit them with over 100000 lines of code they didn't write
elon: sorry i'm not listening anymore someone just posted a dank meme and i need to spend some time cutting off their watermark to claim credit.

There doesn't seem to be one central mastodon server where everyone in the community lives. Everyone is separated into different servers each run by different people, and your account, login, etc is on that server. But almost all of the servers talk to each other so that the federated view feels sort of like twitter. Once in a while you run into a weird issue like trying to follow someone on another server where you remember "oh yeah thats right, we're all on different servers".

Each server has to agree to police the members of their own server if they want the other servers to link to them. If one server goes "lol no, we are nazis and we like our evil poo poo" then the other servers can all block the nazi server, and then those idiots are in their lonely little echo chamber just talking to each other. Or at least thats kind of how I understand this thing.

Elon Musk,

I like that you too have read Iain Banks, and, perhaps foolishly, it gives me hope even to this very moment, but this was sincerely character-revealing.

You may not use any part of my Tesla business plan that I presented earlier in this thread without my direct consent. You will not only acknowledge its source but you will be allowing me to execute it because you are not in good faith leading that company. It is a piggybank and a smuggling business for you.

Any "contract" or agreement you write with me will be mercilessly, forever, plainly, overwhelmingly in my favor and I will be positioned above you on corporate hierarchy, and not in any way answer to you. You will answer to me.

To me it is clear you are one man who decided to faceroll the entire universe on a character build of fame and fortune alone, and found yourself ten fathoms deep in a ton of loving bullshit.

People might roast you for it later if they remember, but I want a Nurburgring-destroying electric Miata, and it seems like you have no loving clue what you're doing.

Cheers,
- A giraffe

I would love to see the timestamps for whoever got asked back the fastest. Less than 24 hours?

Of course knowing that your coworkers worked through the weekend and this have a 4pm Sunday deadline means you’d just happily sit on that severance. Any rational risk assessment would tell you that you’d be let go within 2-3 months when the site burns down anyway.

Twitter’s pushing back the launch of its new Blue subscription with verification until after this week’s midterm elections, according to a report from The New York Times. According to an internal memo viewed by the outlet, a manager working on the project said they’ve “made the decision to move the launch of this release to Nov. 9, after the election.”

...

As reported previously on The Verge by Alex Heath, Musk initially wanted employees to roll out Blue with verification by November 7th and threatened to fire them if they didn’t meet this deadline. Twitter updated its app on iOS on Saturday with mentions of the new Blue subscriptions, but without actual access to it, and the changes were rolled back soon afterward. Esther Crawford, a product manager at Twitter leading the project, confirmed these features are “coming soon” but never specified when we could see an official launch.

Only way to return that makes sense is as a contractor at an insane rate and an insane hours minimum and status as a primary ceditor if the company goes bankrupt.
