After a year and a half of development – Haiku R1/beta4 has been released! 🎉 https://www.haiku-os.org/news/2022-12-23_haiku_r1_beta4/

While I was experimenting today with the latest release of @haiku r1beta4, which was released earlier today, I managed to port #LiteXL to it. It is still really premature but seems to work quite well.

I plan to keep on working on this and create a proper release. There is a lot I need to learn about Haiku, but I am really happy I will have my beloved editor to work with.

Are you someone who has a simple fix for something in the Linux kernel, but haven't bothered submitting a patch because you find the email workflow daunting? Can be a bugfix, spelling correction, anything at all.

If so, I want to talk to you! I have tools that simplify this process quite a bit, but I need more feedback from people who aren't long-term Linux maintainers.

Please reach out, either via here or by emailing mricon@kernel.org.

Twitter just sneaked in a new rule disallowing links to competing platforms, right during the world cup finals

Gods, screaming at all my mutuals to leave had zero effect in getting them to leave, and now this.

At least I’m easy to find online, but they aren’t.

Amazon workers in Coventry vote to go on strike in the new year. They were classed as key workers during the pandemic… but are treated like robots for low pay. Amazon has plenty money to go around.

> This time the turnout was 63%, with 98% of those backing strike action, marking the first time Amazon workers in the UK have voted to do so.
