Linux on arm Mac is 'fun'. The default Fedora is working okay now, but it's pro-AI. What do I do then? 🤔 Chimera and Elementary failed to boot and one of them might have even corrupted my existing Linux install somehow. I know Gentoo should be supported, but I've heard mixed opinions about it. OpenBSD should work, but apparently it won't be able to play videos smoothly due to the lack of hardware video acceleration, which is kind of sad...

There is far too much death and suffering, but could some outcomes of these bad times turn out good?

Extremely high oil prices which last long enough to force people onto bikes/public transport and maybe help them realise they're not so bad, actually?

AI bubble burst / market correction bankrupts several large corporations and takes down the oligarchs steering them (I can dream)?

Data centers that push energy prices so high that renewable energy becomes a priority?

EFF is appalled by how quickly and uncritically internet restrictions are being adopted around the world, David Greene told CNET. "Even if they are under 18, or under 16, children have the right to access information, to speak and to associate.” cnet.com/tech/services-and-sof

"What the Epstein case is doing...is showing many more people that the men most likely to talk about protecting 'their' girls & women are the ones most likely to feel entitled to do to girls & women whatever they please....

" (T)he same patterns apply to ICE killings, racist policing violence, xenophobic expulsions, government abandonment of the most vulnerable people in our society, the course of genocidal wars around the world, and more."

A reminder that you can still just sit down and write software. Or stand up and write software if you prefer.

The key point is that *you* can *write software* and you don't have to let other software write software for you.

nooo :akko_derp:

A recent study published in Personal Relationships provides evidence that individuals with exceptionally trusting and kind personalities do not actively seek out manipulative or cruel partners. Instead, they simply tend to be less likely to reject these types of people compared to the average person. This dynamic suggests that a strong tendency to see the good in others can sometimes reduce a person’s selectivity in romantic contexts.” (source)

This is your official notice that we'll be making a major security release for Sharkey tomorrow (between and ) in coordination with Misskey. Please be ready to patch your instances soon as humanly possible, as the vulnerabilities at play are extremely severe. Note that IceShrimp and Firefish derivatives are not affected, only direct forks of Misskey.

another thing about this whole CS-professors-using-LLMs discussion is that I've been hearing some of my colleagues excitedly say things like, "now that LLMs can generate good code, I don't need grad students anymore!", which horrifies me because of what it implies about how they thought of grad students this whole time: as code generation machines, I guess?

We did it! We moved Black Magic Debug project to @Codeberg! 🎉

codeberg.org/blackmagic-debug

I wish we did not have to move, but GitHub AI slop and a bunch of other badness pushed us over the edge.

Sorry for all the trouble to anyone who now needs to redirect to the new place, but I feel this is a good thing for the project and it's future.

Thank you for all the hard work to offer an alternative! Onwards and upwards! 🚀

There are two photos in one pic of the same cat,  Cat is sitting up in a bag or perhaps fabric pet carrier. The head and a bit of the top is showing above the bag opening. Greyish head fur with white fur on body. Pet carrier in either black or very dark grey. Sorry for bad description.

The matter seemed to be resolved but the following year Oracle sent another threatening email. So the desire to move off BerkeleyDB was firmly planted in 2009... Around that time we got contacted by MySQL, to do a joint project to build an OpenLDAP backend on their new NDB Cluster. This seemed pretty promising as a solution for scaling OpenLDAP capacity and soon we had a usable back-ndb. Then Sun bought MySQL, and the project grew to a partnership with Sun/OpenDS too. lists.openldap.org/hyperkitty/

Hiya! Anyone in the SF Bay Area/Remote need a cool programmer for your team? I've been messing with computers for over 30 years now, I can program anything with bits, and I've got a lot of experience with all sorts of different systems, environments, and languages.
I've done mostly CI/CD/devops/SRE stuff recently, but I also do embedded software, some hardware, primary development, tooling, etc.

Izrael má pro další fázi války s Íránem propracovaný plán s mnoha překvapeními. Podle agentury AP to uvedl izraelský premiér Benjamin Netanjahu. Cílem je podle něj režim v Teheránu destabilizovat a umožnit změnu. USA a Izrael zahájily údery na Írán minulou sobotu.
