El flamante presidente de México resultó más reaccionario y neoliberal que sus antecesores; más dinero al ejército y menos a la cultura, aniquilación de naturaleza con refinerías, trenes y mineras, convenios con la oligarquía. Así es la transformación de cuarta.
Sigan votando.

@emacsen @Cadeon @varx Emacs's config file *is* code, and tbh most of the programs that I prefer to use recognize the importance of that because ultimately they'll add those "features" later, but worse. See also the popularity of "oh we'll just use YAML, this is just a config file" and then "oh no we need conditionals, let's add Jinja2 or some other ill-fitting templating language"

Heck, was it ansible or salt? One of them recently added *exception handling* to their YAML configs! *Come on.*

re 1)
IMO computers these days are way more complicated than in 70s/80s

re 2)
I think the whole idea behind FOSS is to empower people to fix themselves the bugs that they encounter, rather than rely on others to do it for them.

It used to be that you had to hire a specialist to write a letter for you. Now you can write it on your own, because everyone can write.
Can't we have the same with software?

Need some sunshine? Josh Triplett gushes about the lovely #Rust community and a few of his favorite Conservancy projects (#ReproBuilds #Outreachy #QEMU and #Git) and why he thinks you donate to our ongoing match! https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2018/dec/18/JoshT/

We anticipated then that #ActivityPub would one day allow federated search among MediaGoblin instances (still waiting for that BTW ;) but we never imagined a new package doing that *and* using #WebTorrent to allow users help instances stream videos, as they watch. This is a good example of why I'm so hopeful about the future and why fatalistic predictions are so often wrong. There's just so much that can't be predicted, no matter how much you know about the present state of a system #ChaosTheory

It's hard to believe that in only two years we've gone from scratching our heads over #GoblinRefuge.com becoming a semi-centralized supernode of #MediaGoblin hosting:

Along similar lines, I heard an interview today on #RadioNZ with pioneering economist and former National Party MP Marilyn Waring, who pointed at that the voluntary sector - if you include all unpaid work including in the home - is larger than any other sector of the economy, in every country where it's been studied. But who cares about our "jobs" when election time rolls around?
