Might be a fun experiment?

[machinebacon]

^ wah, I'd be shitting my pants testing this on real wood. :)

[GekkoP]

^ same here, same here.

[rhowaldt]

time to start using Openbox guys... ;P

[GekkoP]

Yes, or to have a look at this: https://github.com/froggey/Mezzano (only Joe could be crazy enough to try this one, I suppose)

^ WOW, but I can't say I didn't see that coming!

[stark]

Well ... It was my first step into lessism.

[chilli]

The forum is running really slow right now (there's like three threads on Reddit already) and there's a pastebin mirror of the announcement here: http://pastebin.com/QEXxdVik

[ivanovnegro]

Oh. But I think many of us suspected it already.

Farewell.

Well ... It was my first step into lessism.

Same here.

It didn't look like he enjoyed working on it anyway these days (though I stopped following the CB happenings a while ago). The community they can keep going, distro or no distro.

Woo. Big news! I really only rarely dabbled in the #! forums before I got involved in the BBQ and never really saw corenominal hanging around, but it was a wealth of information to someone uninitiated to "lessism," as stark noted. It could continue to be a valuable resource for those looking around the GNU/Linux community and I would agree with what Nili was vouching for: the handing of the baton off to another user.

More importantly, someone is rooting for LinuxBBQ on Reddit.... I don't know who you are, but I like you.

[wuxmedia]

Doubt it's one of us.. looking after #! we ain't got time fo' dat. :)

[simgin]

Shame, #! made me more interested in minimalism and it had a style that triggered lots of nice offshoots.
#! introduced me to you guys, the BBQ.

I guess this counts as Linux news? If not, please move it.

So the Ubuntu phone is going on sale. I wonder if it'll be worth switching from Android in a year or two.

[dkeg]

yep, was thinking the same. I would only be able to get it if it was available through a carrier. Wouldn't be able to afford or even want to spend the bucks if had to get unlocked.

^^ I'm actually thinking of downgrading to a dumbphone. Currently running Android v.2.3.6. ;)

[rust collector]

wasn't the ubuntu phone thing changed to be android based anyway?

That made me smile:
