@ianthetechieIan Wagner@panda@gamingonlinuxLiam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮 Great to see more people making the jump! I have finally completely switched to Ubuntu - Mint was not an option because it is not supported by an application which is critical for my work, but Ubuntu works like a charm. Boot-up is also much faster than Win. It took me a bit of effort (and some help from ChatGPT) to get everything up and running (I kept Win on the machine as dual boot, as backup in case in the future I have some critical compatibility issue), but I'm happy with the result. In some cases the UX of certain apps is suboptimal, but that's because I'm trying to switch out of as many US providers as possible, and MSFT/Google environments currently have good alternatives, but not as seamlessly integrated.
AI vulnerability/bug founds and reports is a huge problem. Curl has banned the use of AI-generated submissions via HackerOne because none of it made any sense, and is a waste of resources and time.

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber I wonder if it would be helpful to reframe the question "do they really have the power?" to show that they do not have legitimate power to do these terrible things but the lack of legal, legitimate power is not stopping the corrupt use of power.
If you have signal, discord, threema, email, matrix, or anything else - especially if you can be mildly anonymous and it is decentralized - you can keep on touch. This won't be like flees prior, where you'll at best have letters and there's a high likelihood of never finding each other again.
With instant communication, the party can be reunited in the future, and you can still be part of each other's lives
@dwndiaowinner GoToSocial's interaction policy spec is pretty well designed, but from an implementer's perspective, there's so much to do that it can feel a bit overwhelming. 🥲
“Start with a good README, clear getting started instructions, and some key usage points, and you won’t go far wrong…Documentation is one of the most valuable and transferable skills for developers too, so it’s very much worth your time and effort personally as well as for the project.”
Letzte Woche haben unsere Lokalgruppen in ganz Deutschland dermaßen Gas gegeben für das #AfDVerbotJetzt, dass hier jetzt Thread entsteht. Bear with me! 🧵
