How dependent is Europe on US tech giants for core digital infrastructure like the Digital Euro?
In Das Parlament, Prof. Christian Grothoff warns:
🛑 As long as it’s built on proprietary tech digital sovereignty remains an illusion.
✅ The answer? Critical public infrastructure must be built on Free Software.

they also completely fucking suck at moving code between files. you say "move this code" and it introduces random bugs while doing so, AND THEN TELLS YOU IT DID THE RIGHT THING. this has caused us countless problems at work because the slopsuckers pull this constantly

I somehow missed this: https://nationalshutdown.org. When it came up, I heard worry that participating might let their coworkers down.

But the thing is, it could be the opposite.

The Crowd Supply campaign for the GameTank is about 33% over and 31% funded.

I don't really know marketing. I'm just an engineer who made a fun thing and wants to share it with anyone in world who'd appreciate it.

My markup on the console in this campaign is negligible.

If you like what I'm doing:
- Backing is a huge help
- Backing with extra carts is a huge help
- Sharing this to other weirdos like me who spend time energy and money on retro dev is a huge help

A friend pointed out last night that WinRAR is more profitable than OpenAI and I can't stop thinking about it.

i.e. i'd expect to not have two separate loading states. just click Next, it does the resolution, then redirect. any reason why not that?

Just learned about FediSky, a project by @msonnberger.com@bsky.brid.gy that adds an ActivityPub instance sidecar to a PDS. Think Bridgy Fed except hosted by the PDS owner or Wafrn except reversed. Still in early dev, but keeping an eye on this space 👀

would forkiverse admins be mad if I tried to find the love of my life on here?

Well, though I'm definitely against the resources #AI uses, I'm also not 100% against the cases where it can help. This time I tried to see how far it could help me setup a secure, rootless #podman server.

My conclusion after a week; the basics are ok, you get it going faster then looking up guides, but anything more complicated config-wise and it quickly just breaks down. Anything a bit more niche and you're way better off just going through the guides and actually learning it. Which is in one hand not that surprising, but in the other makes clear it only ever gets things somewhat right with stuff that is used a lot, like Docker. And that's super obvious given the training sets, but I was just reminded of that again and this is just a hobby! For anything niche and complex at work I would be horrified to use it willy nilly.

'Huge news!' Expert cheers as a federal judge shuts down #Trump's scheme to have #ICE arrest and detain thousands of legal refugee claimants

“Senior U.S. District Judge John Tunheim ordered that the moves to arrest #Minnesota's 5,600 refugees, transport them to other states, and interrogate them in detention cannot continue — and that anyone who was shipped out to other states in this manner must be returned to Minnesota.”

Went for a #mountainbike ride yesterday. I'm really grateful for the nice hills I have close by. It's excellent for clearing my head, getting a hard workout and enjoying nice views.
