Why does Ubuntu attract so many haters? Snaps might be a reason, but there's more to it. 😅
Is there like a good resource on GUI programming, by which I mean not "how to use the latest framework which is running in electron btw" but actual fundamentals on the theory behind graphical user interfaces and flows and how it all works?

Nothing quite like starting an unholy illegal war by murdering 165 mostly young girls. As bad as Hitler, if not worse. Lest we forget. Atrocities committed like these are never forgotten or forgiven. The Epstein-Trump-Netanyahu regime and its Trumped up war constitute an Excess of Evil.

A six-spot burnet moth. The RHS and the Wildlife Trusts’ annual Wild About Gardens campaign is this year encouraging people to support moths in their gardens – including their ‘very hungry caterpillars’. The two organisations are highlighting the 2,500 species of moth found in the UK, which are vital pollinators, a source of food for a host of other wildlife including birds and bats, and an important indicator of the overall health of the environment

My friend, you know not what you ask of me. If I wrote about this it would not be "ATproto conference taking Google money bad" it would be a 500 page piece called "There Is No Ethical Fundraising Under Capitalism" that people will blame me for being simultaneously overly sympathetic and damning
A wise person tumbles a stone until smooth, makes a few choice cuts.
I foolishly chisel so many facets into it again that unless you zoom in, it appears as rough as the original stone.

Noch einmal einen guten Morgen zusammen. Ich möchte heute mal wieder ein paar meiner persönlichen Gedanken los werden. Der Bundestag hat gestern das Ende des Bürgergeldes und die sogenannte Grundsicherung für Arbeitsuchende beschlossen. Das kleine bisschen Menschlichkeit, das die Ampel eingeführt hat, ist wieder weggewischt worden. Für die Betroffenen ist es die Rückkehr der Angst, der Erniedrigung und der gesellschaftlichen Ausgrenzung. Ich gehöre zu dieser Gruppe. (1)
Just to say it: sinking a ship on its way home from a friendly international exercise that we were also taking part in is such cowardice. I can't stop thinking about it. It makes everyone less safe in so many obvious ways.
So when a 09:01 delivery update says the thing is out for delivery "between 08:00 and 16:00" today (Friday), when will the delivery happen?
Actual arrival was 13:57, see https://nxdomain.no/~peter/its_real_its_here.html

I wish people around me are as bothered as I am about the LLM hype.
A bajillion variables with non deterministic results and unreliable dev process producing a hallucination machine with maximum confidence. Are people just not seeing the mistakes it makes?
I’m not saying it worthless. It’s not worth that much. I can put aside the bs marketing language, but the real tangible things it does? I can honestly do without.
Perhaps that’s just cause I’m not working in tech anymore? Kinda blessed.

Since the US illegal invasion of Hawaii, we now have terrible racial & economic inequality. Black and Hawaiians are the most over-incarcerated and murdered by police. Black families in the US are 10x poorer than yt counterparts & 2.5x more likely to be chained up for prison labor
The US fails to address racism, capitalism, and the military-industrial complex that MLK fought. Hawaii was the solution - anti-racist, socialist, anti-imperialist prosperity even at the height of colonial empire. The US tried to kill our dream, but we rise nonetheless.
US economy unexpectedly sheds 92,000 jobs in February

tech, Duolingo
is dying, apparently:
DUOL shares have fallen more than 78% from their May 2025 high, and that’s before its nearly 25% fall in premarket trading today.
I've said before that one of the very few good things generative "AI" may do to the world is accelerating the enshittification cycle so much that it kills stuff that was already terrible and a drain on society (social media; platformization; curation algorithms…). Speaking as a linguist who speaks 4 languages and has read the literature on second language acquisition, it has always been my position that the Duolingo method is useless—it feels like you are learning a language, but you can spend infinite hours with it and gold a full tree and you'll still get nowhere, and if you put a fraction of the time in about any other method, including doing pen-and-paper drills with old-fashioned paper-based textbooks, you'd have progressed much faster.
And old-fashioned grammar drills suck, too. It's just that Duolingo really, really sucks.
(Methods that work better: 1) Find an intensive "conversation"-type course, or anything that is labelled as "natural" or "immersion" or "storytelling" methods; or get tandem partners; or online coaches such as in italki; failing that, join a conventional language course, the more "intensive" the better; work on these until you absorb basic grammar and vocabulary, focusing on spoken language not writing; 2) Once this bootstrap period is over, start talking to people, watching media, or reading stuf that interests you, in large quantities and every day; do not wait until you're "good" to move into the input stage, start actually using the language for things you wanted it for, as soon as possible, which is sooner than you think; partial comprehension is fine.)
Of course I hope Duolingo dies horribly in a fire after it backstabbed its workers with the "AI memo", but even if it didn't, the world is better off without it.
One lesson we can get from this: Consider that overnight 25% drop in investment, which may well prove to be the coup the grâce. It was not caused by Duo losing users or enshittifying with "AI", but by the opposite: investors mass panicked at the company setting its target revenue too low, as in a mere… 1.22 billion, rather than the 1.26 billion the investors wanted. Now the reason Duolingo is not chasing that higher goal is that they're seeing the writing on the wall, and went into damage control mode: they're pulling down a bit on squeezing their current paying users and trying to improve the experience of the free tier, in an attempt to reverse the bleed and bring in more customers.
In other words, Duolingo tried to slow down the slightest tiny bit on enshittification—3% less cash—and this already got swift punishment from the market gods. With capitalism, there is no long-term thinking: you're expected to provide the richest people on Earth with infinite growth of their ever-increasing profits squeezed from customers paying every month more and more, now and forever, or you'll be taken out and replaced by someone willing to try.
Whenever I discuss how much Duolingo sucks and doesn't work and is in fact counterproductive, and all that was already the case *before* it got rebuilt from slop, people ask the very reasonable question: "If not Duolingo, then what"?
My answer is that literally any other method is better than Duolingo lol
But I've collected some of my more detailed answers about two methods I strongly recommend—comprehensive input and tandem exchange—in these two blog posts:
