@fosserytech@social.linux.pizza Another week with nothing bad about Ubuntu, they broke the tradition. :/ Jokes aside, I'm hoping the optimized packages eventually land on Linux Mint as well.

@fosserytech@social.linux.pizza A revenge-project to "own" someone for ethnic conflict while (supposedly) doing a better job then the original, built with Rust and named Barney! Wow, this is the popcorn story of the week. I'm 100% rooting for more gasoline thrown into this fire.
