Phosh 2025 in retrospect
Posh, GNOME's mobile shell, published a look back on the project's 2025.
The Phosh developers focus from day one was to make devices running Phosh daily drivable without having to resort to any proprietary OSes as a fallback. This year showed improvements in some important areas people rely on like cell broadcasts and emergency calls, further improving usability and starting some gro

You know how in the early 1900s, radium was discovered and people started putting it into a bunch of random products that were marketed as having any number of magical or healing properties because "ooooo cool it glows" and because radioactivity was such a new concept that no one understood the danger? Or how asbestos was used in like, everything for a while?
This is what generative AI is like, but for the service economy. Future generations are going to treat this shit like toxic waste.
PLEASE do NOT spray down your sidewalks and streets with water if you live in areas targeted by door to door Nazi death squads. If you do, Nazis such as Greg Bovino or Jonathan Ross could easily slip and fall on the ice.
Repeat, do NOT do this. It is extremely dangerous to the members of the Nazi death squads currently targeting you and your neighbors and it is impossible for the injured Nazi to identify who is to blame.
Hasta hace unos años, si un estudiante hacía referencia a la #Wikipedia como fuente de información, algunas personas dudaban de su esfuerzo en el estudio. Hoy, con las #IA como #Oráculo, que la fuente sea leer la Wikipedia debería ser considerado un éxito rotundo en el esfuerzo por educar a las nuevas generaciones.
Estoy siguiendo un poco las quejas de les agricultores por el acuerdo entre la UE y Mercosur y está siendo un poco una montaña rusa.
QUEJA: los productos que vengan de Latam pueden ser un riesgo para la salud, porque se producen utilizando pesticidas... etc, prohibidos por la UE o sin los controles sanitarios que existen dentro de la UE
Esta es una queja sensata. La UE tiene controles estrictos por algo y fuera de ella es mucho más difícil controlar que la producción agraria no se salte a la torera unos mínimos.
QUEJA (cont.): Y por eso pedimos que se quiten las prohibiciones y bajen los controles de la UE a nuestros productos
NO, HOMBRE, NO
’Denmark Switches.’ A national campaign to collectively move off Big Tech. March 20th is Big Switch Day. I’ve named my goal now. I’m already almost deMicrosofted, except for my photo archive. I moved to Libre & Tuta mail and have been purging photos as I await the release of Tuta drive. Now I’m committing myself to just get the photos off OneDrive and on to my computer, that I own, in my house, by March 20th. Then I’ll delete Microsoft. Then I’ll boast about it on the Fediverse.

If you read her sign and go "yeah, somebody do something"...
You don't get it
If you read her sign and go "yeah, I need to something":
You get it
Her sign is for you
Not some constructed group of people you place all blame and accountability on when various topics of outrage come up in #USA politics and society
Because in reality, that group of people to place all blame and accountability on
Is us
No one is going to save us
We need to save ourselves
Hacia años que no quemaba un CD/DVD con #Brasero en #Linux y hoy he vuelto ha usarlo
Intente grabar un archivo de una filmacion de una fiesta familiar en formato #MKV con el codec de video H265 y audio AAC, pero con la situacion de que Brasero no pudo manejar el codec
Despues de buscar en internet me entere que solo maneja hasta el codec H264 y curiosamente tampoco supo manejar el nuevo archivo transcodificado bajo este codec
¿Que me puedo estar olvidando?
It is so profoundly strange to experience my country, Denmark, being threatened by The United States — especially when you think of how much Americans and Danes have in common.
We both fought fascism in World War 2, we both have a constitution which defines a liberal democracy, and in both countries the greatest threat to that liberal democracy is Donald Trump.

at a moment of historical clarity, an inspired piece of propaganda

@jensorensen As a side note: I would suggest that—specifically when the Democrats don't hold power in any branch of the government—it is the voters, and their ability to peacefully express their will in a regular & overwhelming manner in the streets nationwide, who are the source of underutilized power. No Kings is barely scratching the surface IMO.
A comic from 2022. I want to make a distinction between the Democrats who are speaking out forcefully against authoritarianism and those whose overcautious approach enabled the extremist takeover of our institutions. This is about the dangers of unaccountability and kicking the can down the road. As recent elections demonstrate, voting is still extremely important.
‘Cancel your tickets’: Calls grow to boycott US-hosted #FIFA World Cup over #Trump admin
“Would you have gone to watch the Olympics in Nazi Germany in 1936?” asked Pekka Kallioniemi, a Finnish social media analyst with a focus on propaganda and disinformation, in a social media post on X.
“If the answer is no, it’s time to cancel your US World Cup tickets.”
Elon Musk is a White supremacist and any media outlet that continues to pretend otherwise is promoting White supremacy. The same goes for all major institutions, politicians etc who continue to normalise the world’s largest conduit for White supremacist, Paedophilic and other vile content : Musk’s X

I got down from the bird and jumped onto the mastodon. Went from #science to software development, mostly #webdev.
