Good. Welcome to the dark side and we have cookies.

I dumped Windows 11 for Linux, and you should too. CheckMag With the growing number of users jumping from Windows to Linux, I decided to fully take the plunge and dive deep into the Open Source ocean. A few months and several headaches later, it has proved to be the best computer-related decision I've made in over a decade (and perhaps in my entire life). notebookcheck.net/I-dumped-Win

Positive side of winter: I can open the window without using a mosquito net, and no mosquitoes invade the room.

Negative side of winter: after five minutes with the window open, I have to close it again if I want to avoid the early stages of freezing.

I haven’t seen this discussed and it confuses me: companies tend to avoid tricky licenses like (A)GPLv3 for legal reasons. Why is there no hesitation to using LLMs to generate code, when we still don’t know whether that is fine under copyright law?

Training an LLM has been ruled fair use in the US. I am not aware of a ruling whether that applies to using it. And if the output of the model isn’t a copyright infringement of the input, then the output cannot be copyrighted because it was not created by a person. So AI-generated software cannot be copyrighted.

@fosdem I'm sure you're well aware of the strike that's planned for the week leading up to FOSDEM. Maybe you want to share it on the website so folks traveling to Brussels can plan accordingly?

福島第一から50kmの二本松市東和で調査をしてきたフランス人人類学者の本からの抜粋記事。

帰還して暮らしている人たちがじつはかなり正確に線量を把握していること、放射能が常に動いていることを諦めと緊張を持って認識して暮らしていることなどは日本語のメディアでは遠慮もあってかあまり見かけない気がするのでプレゼント記事にしました。自動翻訳でかなりよく読めます。

امروز سالگرد از دنیا رفتن Aaron Swartzه. اگه در موردش نخوندید فیلم Internet's own boy رو ببینید. برای این روزها هم حواس‌پرتی خوبیه.

The people who just blindly toss AI shit over a wall onto other humans without using their brain for even a nanosecond deserve shaming. We need to start a public wall of shame for the public identities (not doxing) of these people so we can have bots that just block them.

I don't care at all if you do this in your own projects, but when you cross a boundary where another human has to interact with you, its common courtesy to at the very least spend any amount of time at all thinking (the horror).

"The makes all of this visible...unfolding in real time. We are watching a community take shape, with excitement, disagreement, and inevitable growing pains. Whether or not it fixes the internet is almost beside the point...in the Fediverse, community is not abstract. Community matters more than algorithms....It is intentional, contextual, and deeply shaped by where you choose to belong. And there is space, even if you have too many faces." maho.dev/2026/01/the-forkivers
