  • Agree with this, especially about movement. Overall the main bad thing about regular desks and comfy chairs, is that you can sit at them without changing your posture for hours, which is bad for everything: blood circulation, posture, muscles, etc. “The best posture is your next one.”

    I work from the floor now mainly… it’s cheap, portable, forces you to move, doesn’t require anything besides maybe a few pillows and any coffee table or raised surface for a laptop.





  • Those of us who were on the net in the 90s, we had to make accounts for every forum / community site we wanted to use, it wasn’t a big deal. Nowadays if you go over to reddit, they’re convinced any site you have to create an account for is doomed to fail. Even one like this one, which similar to email, connects you with a wider network outside of the one you signed up on.


  • Damn there are a surprising number of maintainers that are comrades and not taking this lying down from the western supremacist cohort.

    Linus opened up a massive can of worms and turned this into a geopolitical conflict by acting like a baby.

    This comment by Hantong Chen is great:

    Hi James,

    Here’s what Linus has said, and it’s more than just “sanction.”

    Moreover, we have to remove any maintainers who come from the following countries or regions, as they are listed in Countries of Particular Concern and are subject to impending sanctions:

    • Burma, People’s Republic of China, Cuba, Eritrea, Iran, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan.
    • Algeria, Azerbaijan, the Central African Republic, Comoros, and Vietnam.

    For People’s Republic of China, there are about 500 entities that are on the U.S. OFAC SDN / non-SDN lists, especially HUAWEI, which is one of the most active employers from versions 5.16 through 6.1, according to statistics. This is unacceptable, and we must take immediate action to address it, with the same reason.
