Is this first major challenge to the US Federal Reserve, coming from the Mormon cultural sphere out West?

Five US states have embraced the Goldback: Utah, New Hampshire, Wyoming, Nevada, and (most recently) South Dakota.

Is this just a passing fad? Or are currencies like the "Goldback" the future of sound money?

I didn't mention it earlier, but it is also morally okay to slaughter cats for meat and leather too. Kill any non-humans animals as you like.

In fact, I think the best way to solve the stray pet problem is to just convert them to meat and leather. It will keep our streets safe while boosting the economy!

Liberland has successfully weathered its first winter. We celebrated our first Christmas and first New Year's in Liberland itself. Despite the challenges, we persevere! liberland.org/news/551-liberla

This Hyprland situation is just another reason why I fucking hate all this drama when it comes to FOSS projects. It's always due to bullshit reasons and it either kills a project or significantly hurts a project.

From what I can tell, the Hyprland community is mostly tame. They do engage in edgy humor but there is nothing wrong with that. It doesn't seem like Vaxry was using slurs or posting anything bigoted. And according to a podcast, he does ban people who are truly problematic.

But no, you had to use your janny powers to ban someone from FDO because they're lax when it comes to community moderation.

Though this situation is pretty mild compared to similar events, but this kind of behavior does eventually lead to the more extreme scenarios, such as complaining about "casual ableist language" (using words like "dumb" or "crazy"), throwing a hissy fit because a project is accepting crypto donations, or the PM rejecting someone's proposed BLM splash screen when the program starts up.

@Tadano @drewdevault@fosstodon.org @Lyude I just saw the "Here Comes Nico" poster in the background and I started laughing uncontrollably.

@xianc78 Wayland and Redhat dev/child rapist @Lyude tried to harangue and threaten hyprland's Dev, Vaxry, over public Discord messages from two years ago. Vaxry told him to fuck off, and now he's banned from freedesktop.org's git. Fellow Wayland Dev and incontinent child rapist @drewdevault is also slandering Vaxry for not kowtowing to the self-appointed supreme janny of the Linux desktop development world.

More context here

@phnt @PurpCat @pwm @beardalaxy @mint IIRC GNOME had some colorblind utility that is severely outdated and only works with older versions of GNOME. Other than that, there is pretty much nothing outside of some magnifying tool (which I can't remember the name).

@PurpCat @pwm @phnt @mint
>GNOME's target audience is people with disabilities.

Yet, Linux still has shit colorblind support. At least according to @beardalaxy.

"I can confidently say that code quality should be the least of your concerns when it comes to your FOSS project."

Modern day devs, ladies and gentlemen.

@Tadano @drewdevault@fosstodon.org @Lyude What did Vaxry say exactly? In that blog post he is still referring to Lyude as "she", so it's not like Vaxry is transphobic. According to Drew it seemed to be his "poor moderation" on his Discord server because he turns a blind eye on people being "queerphobic".

The problem with trying to revive old online games, is who gives a shit when the OG servers go down?

@Alex @Mr_NutterButter If you want to minimize harm, veganism is NOT the way to go. Veganism actually kills more animals than meat eating.
