Good morning Forkiverse!! Thank you @pj for putting together such a great episode about the Fediverse.

Major Linux gaming win this morning as Phil Spencer confirms over a leaked phone call that Microsoft will be pulling support for the Halo franchise on Windows and Xbox, leaving it an exclusive title for PlayStation and Linux for the foreseeable future.

"I just can't take this shit anymore." he cried over the line, as his wiretap rights were being grossly violated. "Nobody liked my platforms anyway. They were all fake players. To hell with them."

Citation Needed — @molly0xfffMolly White’s crypto newsletter and scumbag review — is always great, but the year-end summary of the past half-decade of grifting and corruption and moral turpitude from the highest levels of government and finance is a blistering howl of rage.

I hope this email finds you interesting and beautiful

A lot of the discourse about #Tailwind has been "How did they even expect to scale anyway?"

l know our industry doesn't understand this, but not everything has to "scale". Keeping a small team comfortably employed, working on something they enjoy with people they like _is_ a success story.

A business isn't a failure if it isn't growing.

Them: Do you actually ever refer to the table of elements for anything?

Me: Periodically.

I appreciate that they’re looking into this but “spicy” mode? Inappropriate. This is literal child porn and very non-consensual sexual harassment, my dudes. Stop trying to be cute.

In an attempt to push more people toward a paying subscription, Grok now refuses to generate images in replies. The paywall is pretty leaky, though.

💡 For the first time I just submitted a proposal for a new (small) feature in #django ; it's related to #fulltextsearch in #postgresql , especially for non-English websites/webapps . You can use Github reactions to let me know what you think about it 😉

I was born too late and never got to design a physical box for my software, so I did a fake one for the “What's new" window in Hand Mirror.

This update is almost ready, if you like to make videos or write about this stuff get in touch!

今天看到的影片，一個移民二代想保留廣東話，分析廣東話逐漸勢微的原因，然後提出他們社群構思的音標、輸入法以及字體，真的看的很開心

In Musk's latest masterful gambit, instead of putting a stop to the wave of sexual abuse imagery generated by Grok, he's attempting to monetize it instead by only letting paying subscribers generate images in replies. This isn't curbing abuse, it's profiting off it https://www.404media.co/x-premium-grok-paywall-images-ai-generator/

Official diagnosis isn't available to everyone for a whole variety of reasons(financial, ability/disability, transport issues, availability of specialists, the option for diagnosis isn't available in their country/country doesn't recognise the condition, it's not safe to be officially diagnosed etc etc), but that doesn't mean accommodations aren't still needed.

@zkatkat NetBSD seems to have a relatively strong policy against AI. I don't know how different the BSD kernels are from one another, but maybe it's worth citing NetBSD as an alternative to Linux:

Where’s the lie

X has become the Everything App that Elon always wanted, if “everything” means all the tools you need to fuck up someone’s life, in one place.

This is the culmination of years and years of rampant abuse on the platform.
