Unless if you’re really in the know about nascent platforms, you probably didn’t know what Mastodon was until Elon Musk bought Twitter and renamed it X. In the initial aftermath of the acquisition, as users fretted over what direction Twitter would take, millions of users hopped over to Mastodon, a fellow microblogging site. As time […] https://techcrunch.com/2026/01/01/what-is-mastodon/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
Just a fair warning. Keep your politics off my page, and I'll keep it off yours. I am not Alphabet Soup Gang, Transgender, Moslem, nor liberal friendly if you come pushing your views and agenda on my page. I am in NO WAY politically correct, nor do I give a rats ass about your opinion concerning my politics. Your opinion means absolutely ZILCH to me and you can kiss my ass. Just remember, I didn't ask your unwarranted opinion. Be forewarned, I will block you. Play nice, and I'll play nice.

#Emacs incorporating seccomp for process isolation on capable GNU/Linux systems, while FreeBSD has its own sandboxing mechanism called Capsicum
> Process Isolation (OS-level) separates processes' memory/resources for stability; chroot (filesystem-level) changes a process's root directory for simple file access restriction (weak security); while Sandboxing (application/security-focused) uses stronger kernel features (containers, VMs, or specialized tools)
#virtualization
@xameerHoldMyType contd go without user namespace isolation to build app in Rootless container like #podman you need dynamically alloc builder uids and with it as root ( rarely with it) , without sandbox , app #testing
i ll do that on #nixos , how ll you do it onother #Linux
do you every use `sysctl -w kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1`?

원래 중소기업 입장에서는 신입을 뽑을 '여유' 가 별로 없음. 사람을 뽑아놓는다고 그 사람이 바로 1인분 하는게 아님. 그래서 업무지시하고 지켜보며 가르칠 사람이 필요하기 때문에, 한명을 뽑았는데 오히려 초반에는 사내 전체 생산성이 저하됨. 그렇기 때문에 사람을 가르칠 여유가 있는 대기업이 신입을 많이 뽑아서 키워줘야 하는데, 대기업은 또 신입을 덜 뽑고 중소기업이 고생해서 키운 경력자를 데려감. 그러다보니 '신입을 뽑아서 키워봤자 대기업에 빨려들어갈 것'이란 생각에 중소기업은 더더욱 신입을 안뽑아버림..

Last week I mentioned playing Forbidden Forest on a #Commodore SX-64.
Here is a bit of info about that game, coming from the « Commodore 64: a visual Commpendium » book, a kick-starter project I participated in a few years ago.
Flipping through those pages brings back some great memories.

If you use an AI-generated image for your article/post, this indicates to me you might have also used AI-generated text.
If you use AI-generated text for your article/post then:
1- I have no idea if you verified the veracity of any claimed facts.
2- I have no idea what your own voice is.
3- I have no idea if this truly expresses your own views, and if you even cared to read it.
4- I have no idea what your intention is with this, other than exploiting my attention and clicks with the least amount of efforts on your part.
5- This shows me you have no respect at all for the labour that was stolen to build these tools, exploiting millions of artists and writers to make billions of dollars without any compensation to them whatsoever.
Why would I want to engage with any content like that?
• I don't want to communicate with a machine (I can do that by myself).
• I don't want to participate in this disgusting exploitation of artists and writers.
• And I want to communicate with another human, of course.
If your intention isn't to communicate with another human, then stop deceiving them making them think they are

I've been trying to pitch this at work since I started -- everyone else uses LLM generated cover art for the company blog (even though the text is all human-written) and I just make mine in Inkscape; nobody believes me that potential readers will be turned off by the obvious AI slop. One of my hopes for 2026 is that Business Thought Leaders realize that slop is a turn-off.
@Em0nM4stodonEm I want to leave FB due to META and the rising of AI profiles. As far I can se more and more post are not from humans. So what is the point of a social media for the end user!

➤ 擺脫微軟的 AI 束縛：為何 Linux 遊戲體驗已足以取代 Windows

隨著微軟在 Windows 系統中塞入越來越多臃腫的 AI 功能、強勢推銷 Office 訂閱，以及無法卸載的 Edge 瀏覽器，玩家們開始感受到電腦主權的喪失。本文作者 Joshua Wolens 指出，Linux 系統已不再是那個僅限高手使用的命令行黑盒。透過如 Bazzite 等專為遊戲設計的發行版，加上 Valve Proton 技術的加持，Linux 在遊戲相容性與易用性上已取得長足進步。2026

While they are creating fake AI "assistants," fake AI "employees," fake AI "therapists," fake AI "friends," and fake AI "lovers" even, they are dividing us.
While we are divided, they win.
While we are divided, we are easier to control, easier to exploit, and it makes it much harder for us to resist and fight back for our rights.
When all your friends are AI "friends," who will come to the protest with you when you have nothing left?

Kind of fascinated that this article goes into a lot of detail and yet doesn't mention, at all, that a copy of Tripitaka on CD has been held by an archive since the early 00s? Not publicly available, but... seems relevant when writing about preservation. https://www.polygon.com/features/602220/cosmology-of-kyoto-tripitaka-rarest-game-history/

So like, with Wayland*. If you have multiple monitors, can you *intentionally* rig one monitor to be controlled by one compositor and another by another? If doing this, would it make more sense to let one compositor take both screens & make the other a sub-compositor; or to tell regular compositor "ignore this screen" and launch a second compositor on it?
