The codebase of Python 3 contains over 200 links to Wikipedia!
On Linux, extract the tarball and:

Matthew Broderick, as David Lightman, in WarGames (1983) is seen playing Galaga, one of the best early fixed-shooter video games.
A version of said game is available in the present day on Debian based distros as xgalaga (and probably most other distros, too).
PS
The movie is great, albeit the technology is really out-dated. ๐

Thank you Ondine for becoming our new TROM supporter tromsite.com/donate/ - it is so motivating to see new people supporting TROM. Makes you want to put more effort into it, create new things, etc.!
If we get 12 more people to donate 5โฌ a month we can do these:
We will start a video series for TROM, similar to the books' content.
We will bring back TROMnews because the world needs a good news website.
We will increase the TROM Files storage space to 20GB for all.โ
That would be fantastic!

#FOSS
I keep hearing from more and more random people that they switched or are at least trying out #Linux .
And I am afraid that Linux adoption is getting to a point where most people who could / would switch to it already did. The rest won't be able to clear the "barrier to entry" or some issue / missing feature will be a deal-breaker for them.
#FOSS community should make some sort of desktop-Linux-wide issue tracker / knowledgebase in order to analyse and document the common Linux complaints.

Big news for Mastodon GmbH. They have formally joined forces with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
If youโre not in the design/tech world, trust me when I say this is a big step for the fediverse. The W3C establishes the standards used for the internet.
This is a solid path forward for small tech.

Back in May 2019, we said goodbye to SVN and Bugzilla and migrated to Git and GitHub [1]. Since then, we accumulated 188 repositories. ๐
We're now making a list to decide which ones we're moving to @Codeberg and which are going to be archived and left behind.
While we're doing that, we signed NLnet Labs up as a Codeberg e.V. member!

Obviously! The source code is: that code required to produce the binary. That code was LGPL. It doesn't matter how many algorithms, nor the nature of the algorithms, it goes through to become those 1s and 0s.

#Heliboard is gathering gesture typing data, so that we can implement a #FOSS alternative to the closed gesture typing library Heliboard currently relies on. The data we collect will be released under the CC BY-SA 4.0
I also made a video including details & instructions.
