⏳ With less than two weeks remaining, we want to share a reminder that the 
@rustconf 2026 CFP closes on February 16.
As the host of #rustconf, we see the program as a reflection of the community itself — the real challenges, ideas, and experiences people are working through with Rust today.
If you have a clear, well-considered perspective you think should be part of that conversation, we encourage you to submit a proposal! https://bit.ly/3M0bhl5

Hey LINUX USERS. There is a LINUX USER who got stranded on Bluesky instead of here somehow and— you'll be shocked to hear this I'm sure— she's having problems with Pipewire. She's tried a couple different configurations, and all have the same problem: Either audio is choppy, or audio works a bit then after a reboot suddenly *becomes* choppy.
Her full setup:

Do you want to help? If so reply to her either here:

I am very close to unsubscribing from a podcast that I have listened to for 20 years, because the hosts will not shut the fuck up about “AI”.
I appreciate that LLM-based tech is in the news and they cover it (often with a lot of knowledge, because they both understand it fairly well), but there’s so much rampant speculation about it solving all problems, and I’m tired of it.
I don’t want to. I like(d) this podcast.
Pretty fucking close though.

What I listened to today: "BASTL🏰CITADEL｜#4 - Crushed strings ( 🧙♂️FX WIZARD, nRings, uO_C, little nerd )", boop _e_
One of my fav things in modern music tech is Bastl's nano-modular "Kastle"—recently rebooted as the "Kastle 2/Citadel" series, available as either a eurorack module or the Kastle patchwire format & reprogrammable as any of 3 different devices. Here, the FX WIZARD mode glitches the venerable "Rings" Karplus-Strong module. Have I lost you? It's crunchy sounds
What I listened to today: "Secuencia Techno con Syntakt y Microfreak", RM1_music
Super satisfying techno set on two desktop devices. Hard driving thumps, surreal whooshing. At some point I have to face the fact I never actually learned the names of EDM subgenres I just like, listen to everything, and that makes writing these descriptions hard some days. Someone who did the research could probably identify the 3 microgenres here. All I can say is it's highly raveworthy

It appears itch may have now fixed the animated GIF issue!
Found a gem for YouTube (V3 extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/v3-get-old-youtube-layout/) — which brings the old interface (from the start of XXI century) back. It is more clean, if it is even possible to say "clean" about YouTube interface, and also it is faster as hell than the "modern" one.
On the my box (Thinkpad X220 with i7, 16 Gb of RAM) the usual YouTube lags as hell, even while I'm scrolling. The old interface — works almost instantly, lol.

More info and registration: fediforum.org/2026-0... Note: this un-workshop is intended to be independent of protocols, projects, communities etc as long as we are talking #open, because we have a barn to raise here, and everybody's constructive contributions are welcome. 3/4
This #un-workshop is a bit of an experiment, but then, the topic is important, and many people in the community have very specific thoughts on this topic that are worth being laid out up-front. So, if you care about this topic, please join us March 2. 2/4
If you attended #FediForum before, you now should have received an invite to our upcoming un-workshop on "Growing the Open Social Web". It's intended to be half way between unconference (agenda is entirely open) and workshop (focused, with up-front paper submissions). 1/4
I think #agentic engineering will eliminate developers as a customer base for small developer tools. They can just make their own now with ease, tailored exactly to their needs. I've made an App Store reviews viewer and monitoring app in a couple of hours and it even looks decent. #codex #claude #ai

I should just hold a funeral for the the collective brain-rot that LLM technology has caused in many of my friends and peers instead of getting riled up on each new instance, but they keep out-doing themselves and I cannot help myself.
oh also, in the post it says that claude did not have internet access and the only dependency is the standard library, so that alone is very different
