On the topic of amazing instance administration, what was the anarchist-aligned instance the unencrypted database of which got seized by police from an admin's home or something like that?

no centralised social network could ever produce "the taliban deleted my account". that's a mastodon special.

They set up a queer instance under Afghanistan TLD XD

The next time you purchase an domain, It's important to see the TLD of who it was belong to and if the owner was a currently problematic country, I...

@BrodieOnLinux yes it is, I was astounded that nobody recommended it to me when I was going through Arch, Gentoo and the like when NixOS has all of their advantages and none of their PITA. At the same time if you know what you want it's both easier to use and more stable than "easy" distros like Ubuntu that shit the bed as soon as you try to venture off the beaten path. 9/10

@rad pamiętam jak za dziecka byłem ciągany po zabytkach, pięknej architekturze, sztuce, historii. Zdychałem z nudów. Wpadnięcie do mcdonalda było bardziej interesujące bo przynajmniej mogłem się bawić na zjeżdżalni.
Dzieci nie są przystosowane do doceniania takich rzeczy, to przychodzi z wiekiem. Żadnych reklam i tiktoków do takiej sytuacji nie potrzeba.

@jason @fribbledom you can literally put a piece of plastic in place of the screen, saving the cost of the screen without changing anything else about the manufacturing.

:neocat_laptop_owo: bruh

I don't like US politics but can't not be aware of the most internationally important stuff, and Jesus man, the only explanation for how Democrats choose their presidential candidates post-Obama is that they vote who they want to be chosen the least and somewhere along the way the list gets flipped.

@icedquinn yeah but that's the thing, browsers are hell and nobody wants to develop them, so everyone uses the ones that are already developed and actively worked on by someone else. If that stops being the case they'll have no other way.

@icedquinn it's worse than the Chrome thing, if Google decides to abandon Chrome, all the Chromium people can pick up the torch and develop it. Using Google's index just means you're screwed if anything ever happens to it.

Congrats to @collabora for bringing DRM-CI to life!

We badly need a cross-driver CI solution that isn't mailing-lists-based and largely opaque to developers. We need CI that is integrated in the development workflow and that provide guarantees about code quality, not just a service that can be ignored by chance or malice.

It isn't perfect though as it inherits testing methodologies better suited for userspace testing, but kernelCI is no better in this regard ;)

🇬🇧Consumer-hostile #Whatsapp messenger will soon be interoperable - we #Pirates ensured this via the #DMA. In the coming months, we will be able to switch to better and open messenger services such as Matrix and continue to communicate with our consenting Whatsapp contacts securely and end-to-end encrypted across platforms using the Signal protocol. Wired reports: wired.com/story/whatsapp-inter

Facebook Messenger will also become interoperable, possibly iMessage too.
Anonymous use of the participating alternative messenger services remains possible, and Whatsapp only receives data on messages sent across platforms.

Even if Threema and Signal want to stay on the sidelines at first, I am confident that more and more messenger services will join in over time, because interoperability is the future and brings real competition and real freedom of choice!

@icedquinn at this point I'm ~80% sure the first libc to surpass glibc in adaptation will be something written in Rust or the like. That'd be nicely cursed.

@icedquinn one of the funnier high effort shitposts tbh

Feb/8/2024: Google announces Gemini Advanced

Feb/8/2028: Google announces the retirement of Gemini Advanced with one month's notice, as all other AI services are dead or Google found that the ad-supported AI model works better.

Killed by Google adds Gemini Advanced to its webpage.

The end.
