🦅💩 Thunderbird: now with cutting-edge directory disorder! Who knew rediscovering an old #email client could lead to a groundbreaking new way to clutter your home? 📂✨ Apparently, the #XDG #changes are creating directories faster than you can say 'bug fix'. 🙄🚀

Me vuela la cabeza que todavía no tengamos más apoyo en nuestras herramientas para XDG base directories.
Para los que no sepan que es esto, es un spec que define donde archivos deben de “vivir”. Se utiliza mucho para archivos de configuración en ambientes de *nix.
Si están construyendo algo o mantienen un CLI, denle un vistazo. Consideren apoyar este spec.

CW: Fighting ID early verification
This morning, I received a response to a post I made about Discord’s ID verification process. The post blamed governments for Discord’s actions. This is a pattern I see often. I replied to the reply. With #Flatpak and #XDG ‘s recent actions, I feel it’s worthwhile to post this separately and modified slightly.
I advocate fighting our governments but that’s not what’s happening here. So far, there is no national law with a requirement that this type of invasive user IDing be done. Even if there were, Discord could sue the government. That’s one of the main ways these things get overturned since the very legislatures that implement these laws are unlikely to overturn them in a timely fashion without mass, nation disrupting action.
So far, these actions have happened at the state level. Bluesky’s reaction to Mississippi’s law was to block visitors from the state of Mississippi. That was the right call. Discord should have done the same and sued the states implementing these laws.
The fact that Discord chose to go out of their way to do something so bespoke, custom, and egregious hints that they were already working on it for other reasons entirely. Their whole modus operandi seems to be to gather as much user data as possible including for the purposes of develop AI models. I think it’s likely they built the systems they have specifically so they can market their solutions for identifying “underage” users. They want to be the ones selling this invasive tech to other companies. That’s way worse than merely proactively complying when they had so many other options to fight.
We have to stop making excuses for the companies that are not merely complying in advance but positioning themselves to profit from future tyranny.
In the case of Flatpak and XDG, they may not be preparing to profit from these laws but they certainly have more options than compliance with them.

Hey @pid_eins was going to post to the XDG list but it seems dead over there. The link[1] to the Sound theme spec is dead and seems to have fallen to the wayside. As well as the default sound theme being a bit long in tooth. Is there planned work here or an updated specification somewhere. If not, i'd like to go ahead and clean this up while i'm trying to figure out wtf everything Gnome is doing with the sound spec right now. It could definitely use some love, thanks!

Is there a CLI tool out there that'll show me the bytes in common across lots of files, and their offsets? I'm doing a bit of binary file format analysis, hoping to contribute some types into shared-mime-info for ZX Spectrum and Commodore emulation disk+tape+cartridge files. Trying to fix up some ".tap" and ".d80" name clashes with More Magic :blobcatspace: 🔄
