I often here about social media being bad for your mental health, but I find the way I use it (Fedi only) is good for mine.

It's fun as heck here! :3

Red Hat is pushing AI slop into Fedora relentlessly, because IBM wants it to happen

and telling people to use "apt" in fedora

Lol, big panic at work over the new attack chain against every current "AI" IDE.

I am, perhaps unsurprisingly, not affected.

*Endless doomscrolling

디즈니가 이번 딜을 통해 AI 회사들과 저작권 분쟁을 벌이는 대신 생성 AI를 2차 창작처럼 활용하여 수익을 창출하려는 전략으로 보인다. 소송에 시간과 비용을 낭비하는 대신 일종의 미래 기술에 투자하여 수익을 내겠다는 전략 같다. 디즈니처럼 규모가 큰 기업은 이러한 계약을 체결할 수 있지만 규모가 작은 기업들은 계속해서 저작물 침해에 시달릴 수밖에 없을 것 같기도...

Today in #FreeSoftwareAdvent it's ZFS. It gives me

• all in one volume management (no volume-groups and logical volumes and manually resizing partitions on those logical volumes with a dozen different commands, no playing the "oof, need more space on partition A and have too much free space on partition B, back up all the files, nuke both, shuffle partition-sizes/locations, restore the files" dance)

• transparent file compression

• transparent volume encryption

• fast and effectively free snapshots and clones (you start paying the cost if they diverge or deleting files that remain in a snapshot, but that's to be expected)

• same-disk redundancy with copies=2 to help prevent against bitrot, and multi-disk redundancy with effectively zero effort

• the CoW means no need for fsck(8) horribly slowing my boots or finding orphaned fragments of files and shunting them into a lost+found/ directory (my biggest frustration with OpenBSD's FFS2) in the event of an abrupt power loss

• efficient send/receive (beats rsync hands down in terms of speed)

• fine-grained quota/reservation control

• utilities make scripting easy with output-formatting options

• cross-OS support in a way that very few other filesystems provide (other than FAT 😆)

I'm sure there are additional reasons that didn't percolate to the top of my brain, but it's just so much more pleasant than any other disk management I've done on any OS.

📢 Help shape the future of Web architecture! @w3cWorld Wide Web Consortium is seeking input from the wider community for appointing two (2) individuals to the @tagTechnical Architecture Group.

▶️ Nominate yourself and/or others by January 5, 2026 at nomination@w3.org!

The TAG needs a well-balanced mix of skills. It currently lacks expertise in #CSS/UX/GPU/#media, needs of users in less-wealthy regions (such as South America, Africa, and non-CJK Asia), and non-male perspectives.

Is there a Mastodon app or something that will hide posts without alt text?

Edit: Not a visual cue. That defeats the purpose for people on a screen reader. I am wanting something that hides the post. I have been given a page to tag and a bot can come help, so that's super helpful and I will use that! (And not follow ppl who don't use/share with alt text. 🤷‍♀️)

I know there is a browser app but I mostly use social media from my phone.

Thanks! 😘

Ich kann dieses Gerede von wegen "Brandmauer ist undemokratisch" wirklich nicht mehr hören. Jede Partei ist frei zu entscheiden, mit welchen anderen Parteien sie koalieren, zusammen abstimmen oder sonstwas tun möchte – oder eben nicht. Diese Freiheit ist eben auch Teil der Demokratie. Wenn nun eine Partei regelmäßig abfällig über demokratische Institutionen spricht , andere als "Systemparteien" verunglimpft & als "Feind" markiert, wäre es doch absurd, sie als natürlichen Verbündeten zu sehen.

極めて西洋中心主義的な見方だけれど、人類の文化はやっぱり19世紀末にいちど行くところまで行っているように思う。ジブリ美術館を訪れて、スタジオジブリというか宮崎駿の想像力もまた19世紀末を強力な源泉としていると感じ、そうして作られたアニメーションがかなり〈普遍〉に近いクオリティを得ているわけだから、19世紀末になにか〈普遍〉に近いものがあったのではないかと考えたくなる。

You can refuse to provide official ID or biometric data for social media accounts requiring age verification.

Actually, I bet if everyone did refuse, and let their account dormant for a couple of weeks, you would suddenly see American Big Tech transforming into the fiercest defender of your privacy rights, using their powerful network of lobbyists to fight these invasive government regulations.

They need you more than you need them.
Force them to work for your rights.
Do not comply.

Israeli attacks on journalists

According to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), Israel has killed at least 246 journalists and media workers since the start of the war in October 2023.
Of that, 59 were directly targeted and killed by Israeli forces in what CPJ describes as murders. Most of the victims were Palestinian journalists and media workers reporting in the Gaza Strip, the group says.

Dear Fediverse,

after some ups and downs over the past months and my departure from @sovtechfundSovereign Tech Agency, I’ve decided to move into freelance IT consulting. I even created a website 😅: https://swillus.eu.

I'm offering support around Open Source (as in OSPOs, policies, programm management), Supply Chain Security (also in terms of CRA readiness) and Engineering Management.

Let me know if you know someone who needs support. Thanks! ❤️

Whenever I'm about to post something, I'll ask myself if it would get me denied entry at the US-border.

If the answer is yes, I'll hit the post-button at least twice.
