I scrubbed through it quickly.
First half is about housekeeping, history, funding, etc.
Second half is about future directions and it seems conservative. No huge changes planned, other than a new website. :) Discussed encouraging new developers, polling users for what to do next, maintaining quality.
Ended with some q&a.
9.2 will include XDG (.dotfiles) and Wayland support.
@thenextguy@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•Is there an alternative to the desktop interface beyond CLI?13•3M“the ship was completely black. There were black controls labelled in black, on a black background, with a little light that lit up black, which made it difficult to control the ship. The ceiling and walls of the swaying cabin were also black, as well as the seats, control panel, the instruments and the little screws that held them in place. The thin tufted nylon floor covering was black, and when a corner of the foam underlay was lifted up that was also discovered to be was black.”
Or
“For years radios had been operated by means of pressing buttons and turning dials; then as the technology became more sophisticated the controls were made touch-sensitive - you merely had to brush the panels with your fingers; now all you had to do was wave your hand in the general direction of the components and hope.”
@thenextguy@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you have a form of government you invented/conceived, either as an idea or for fiction (or a favorite from someone else)? How does it work?1•8MThe blind part is just around name, gender, race, … but prior experience and education would clearly be important to know.
I know my idea has many flaws, and I didn’t propose it seriously. But I really like the idea of removing popularity and money and cronyism from the path for choosing people to represent us and run our government. It should be a temp job and a responsibility and not a career.
