An official announcement will come soon, but if you are using the package manager, it's recommended you upgrade NOW.

For more details, read lix.systems/blog/2025-06-24-li.

This blog post will be updated with more information as we go (PRs in nixpkgs, etc.).

Coming back to this, what I find lacking in most of the research and discussion about LLM use is any consideration of motivations, why people are engaged in a task, what their goals are, why they might choose to use these tools.

Inevitably many of the answers to these questions point at overarching economic dynamics that we will need to engage with if we want to mitigate the harms caused.

I've been in this developer education / devrel / developer experience etc etc space for a long time now and it still strikes me as utterly bizarre how frequently we talk about software engineering as though it isn't primarily a thing people do it as employees of companies in industry. It makes no sense to reason about any of this without talking about money.

(Sidebar: software engineers not seeing themselves as workers is imo partly also why so few organised while they had the leverage.)

๐Ÿ˜ Soooโ€ฆ I rebuilt my entire Mastodon instance ๐Ÿ˜…
Because I found out I could be identified at my root domain instead of my subdomainโ€ฆ and, well, once I knew that was possible, there was no going back ๐Ÿ˜‡

๐Ÿ’ป Tore it all down, spun it all back up โ€” fresh instance, same vibes, better handle.
๐Ÿ” Everythingโ€™s still self-hosted, FOSS-powered, and privacy-conscious (of course).
๐Ÿ’œ Will be refollowing the lovely folks who gave me such a warm welcome the first time.

Apologies for the false start! ๐Ÿ˜…

I'm working on making it easier to make platform-specific changes to SwiftCrossUI's underlying backend views. I've taken inspiration from swiftui-introspect.

This sort of flexibility will be super useful for more advanced user interfaces.

Example code demonstrating SwiftCrossUI's inspect modifier being used to change the NSButton bezelColor of a SwiftCrossUI button on macOS.

I'm drafting an upcoming newsletter about inoculating yourself against the phrenology of programming: identifying it, basic red flags in claims about cognition and developer problem-solving, and unfortunately...papers about programmers that stray over the line

In a future of friendly and digitization, we don't only need free/libre software, but also fairly produced and open hardware to operate the systems.

The German non-profit computer mouse manufacturer "Nager IT" needs human resources for a new future. If you can and want to support them, check out nager-it.de/maus/uebergabe#:~: (German only). There is a meeting in a few hours.

It would be great to keep the project alive and have more of the resources available under open licenses.

This is a core system app interrupting you, promoting a sale by a movie-ticketing company, to push you to go see the platform vendorโ€™s new movie.

Why not just pop up random ads all the time, always creating new channels that everyoneโ€™s opted-into by default so you can never keep up with opting out of them all?

Oh wait, thatโ€™s already what happens.

Appleโ€™s as bad as everyone else. They donโ€™t respect their customers โ€” weโ€™re fodder.

They truly have no standards anymore.

Immer wenn bestimmte Personengruppen als Risiko inszeniert werden, sollten wir aufmerksam sein. Erst waren (und sind) es Geflรผchtete, die als Risiko dargestellt wurden. Mittlerweile ist eine weitere Gruppe dazugekommen: Menschen mit psychischen Erkrankungen.

Die Innenminister:innen wollen mehr Datenaustausch zwischen Gesundheits- und Polizeibehรถrden und gefรคhrden damit nicht nur die psychische Gesundheit von Betroffenen:

Every so often you see a letter in a local paper that just pisses you off so much - "climate is always changing" and "we have no idea about temperature" - that you feel forced to respond. And in this case, I was not alone. From the Islington Tribune, complete with both @ed_hawkins and a plot of temperature from Tamino's Open Mind. (My letter, slightly shortened is in the Alt Text)

"It is sad to read Patrick Burkeโ€™s letter in which he takes the fatalistic view that โ€œthe climate always fluctuatesโ€. He believes that past changes are utterly mysterious and that temperature records go back โ€œonly a few hundred yearsโ€.
Nothing is further from the truth. We have excellent records of both temperature and atmospheric composition from ice cores that go back 800,000 years. The role of the atmosphere in determining planetary temperature has been known since 1827, that of carbon dioxide since the late 1850s; our understanding has improved enormously in the time since. 
The last few thousand years are the period in which human civilisations flourished, when natural variation in climate was extremely small - about half a degree  (see attached picture). By contrast, since the end of the 19th century, temperatures have risen by about 1.5 หšC and continue to head upwards.
The glaciers Mr Burke shrugs about are the source of stable year-round drinking and irrigation water for billions of people in Europe, South and East Asia. Aside from the disruption to food supplies if rivers start running dry for part of the year (the recent behaviour of the Po, the Rhone and the Rhine in Europe being cases in point), melting ice adds to sea level rise to which London is not immune.
None of us like the idea of climate change, but whether we like it or not, the climate of our youth is gone forever. It is a wise man that plans for the future. Mr Burkeโ€™s complacency is all too common.

@tomTom Casavant @andypiper yes and no. important to distinguish here what politicians are saying and what theyre doing.

calls for digital autonomy are much louder now, and much more politicians are talking about it. however, trump being so aggressive in starting (trade) wars have made actual enforcement against big tech much less likely. much riskier now to enforce DSA and give meta a 1 billion dollar fine when theres a real risk that will result in even higher tariffs on the entire EU as retaliation

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.0 Performing Well, Achieving Faster Results On AMD EPYC 9005 Series

It has been one month since Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 was officially announced and it's proving to be a nice upgrade for enterprise Linux use.
