Very broad talk from Ikey covers #python #yaml #dlang and lessons learnt building a #linux distro, even mentions budgie desktop and why he named it such ( I use it everyday!)
Ikey of @Serpent_OS delivering a marvellous talk on using #dlang at #dconf

Taken the liberty of extracting an excellent #coding presentation by @WalterBright He is a superb coder, compiler writer and a lot more youtu.be/-riWhBQNlOs [Team #dlang will be producing the talks individually soon but I thought a rough cut would be edifying for everyone]

Delighted to attend the #dlang conference this week (dconf.org/2023/index.html), a great bunch of serious coders and very welcoming. D is a clever language, largely under the radar and undeservedly so. It is really very good. They streamed everything: youtube.com/watch?v=sG85BMGW…

Over on Reddit, Red Hat employees are arguing "RHEL release engineering doesn't allow for patches like this to be accepted" — this indicates CentOS Stream is not an upstream community distribution, as we were all led to believe. What lies beyond?
Red Hat: Rebuilders contribute n̶o̶ ̶v̶a̶l̶u̶e̶ negative net value to RHEL. Contribute to CentOS Stream! Rebuilder @AlmaLinux: okay we'll build off CentOS Stream. [Proceeds to submit patch to Fedora Stream for a CVE against iperf3] Red Hat: No, not like that!
