I am watching some anonymous editor from the White House trying to whitewash Washington Examiner on Wikipedia, and random Wikipedians undoing the changes:

Pretty hilarious.

Nicolas Cage to star as Nicolas Cage in film about Nicolas Cage
Nicolas Cage is reportedly in talks to play himself in a film about him trying to land a role in a new Quentin Tarantino movie.
The meta-sounding film, titled Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, is undergoing final negotiations to be picked up by Lionsgate, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Damn straight.

@sillystring you know what they say, the two hardest things in IT are:
- naming things
- cache invalidation
- off-by-one errors

Fun fact: wizzair.com let's you set a long password, but behind the scenes it truncates it to 16 characters (because obviously every byte is precious these days, I guess?).
When you try to log-in with your long long password, it fails. You have to *know* to truncate it yourself to 16 chars.
This is a major airline in 2019.

@sheogorath @Gina interesting. Looked at SAML thing, but SAML is very annoying to configure, I find.
Care to share your script?

@sheogorath @Gina what are you using for Nextcloud <-> Keycloak connection there?
The way we have it deployed is such that a user account needs to be explicitly created in Keycloak *and* Nextcloud for the user to be able to sign-in. A bit more work when adding a user, but a bit more control too. Using SocialLogin app here:

@maloki I like the idea of talking about the ways federated social media can both help and harm marginalized people

I can't tune my power saving parameters. I can't have ten workspaces that I switch between easily. I can't use the custom symbol inserter I wrote, which is way faster than any other I've used on _any_ platform.
I can't get my work done as effectively. I also wouldn't enjoy it! Using windows annoys me constantly with little things: the way the start menu works, the way applications lay themselves out on the screen, the way the login screen works, the network preferences and device listing being buried.

The thing people miss about #desktop #Linux is: it's not that Linux users are using Linux purely for ideology, in most cases. If I could get everything done on Windows in a similar amount of time with a similar level of satisfaction, I probably would.
But I can't. I can't use a tiling WM. I can't use BTRFS or ZFS for my external storage cluster. I can't have a decent package manager or functioning containerization or a command-line driven workflow.
