Insightful. We can't repeat often enough that @mobian , @debian , @postmarketOS , @manjarolinux and others would not be where they are now, without @purism adopting a cooperative upstreaming policy. We would wager that everyone purchasing a (true) Linux device now, benefits from your investments. There is plenty to criticize and nag about you 😝, but you are doing the whole FOSS community a service that could not easily be replicated by volunteers.

>The thing is, the "victim card" is exactly about trying to enforce your particular expectations on others, and trying to do so in a very particular way. It's the old "think of the children" argument. And it's bogus. Calling things "professional" is just more of the same - trying to enforce some kind of convention on others by trying to claim that it's the only acceptable way.

>if you want me to "act professional", I can tell you that I'm not interested. I'm sitting in my home office wearign a bathrobe. The same way I'm not going to start wearing ties, I'm *also* not going to buy into the fake politeness, the lying, the office politics and backstabbing, the passive aggressiveness, and the buzzwords. Because THAT is what "acting professionally" results in: people resort to all kinds of really nasty things because they are forced to act out their normal urges in unnatural ways.

Some good news.

Got copper tape to use for protection against slugs. It's probably the greenest solution there is. The slugs shocks when they touch the copper tape and move away.

Have Single-Page Apps Ruined the Web? | Transitional Apps - Rich Harris, NYTimes @ JAMstack TV: https://invidious.hub.ne.kr/watch?v=860d8usGC0o

I'm very much a "traditionalist" as Harris calls us, I don't trust the code arbitrary servers have me run. But I'll be satisfied with "Transitional Apps"!

I do acknowledge that today JS might be required to build your best website, but I think that's less often than you think. And I aim to make it even rarer by extending the capabilities of HTML/CSS

f(x,y) = (~(((18 % y) * (x * x)) % ((x + y) * (~x)))) % 9

Extent: 256x256 (scaled x2)

@loke https://idiomdrottning.org/perfect Signal is the perfect example of what we should avoid, of the type of “good” that’s an enemy of perfect.

The improvement over FB etc isn’t big enough since we are still beholden to one corporation, and
getting people to switch to Signal will make it harder to get them to switch to something else in the future. You only get so many “you should switch to such-and-such” per lifetime.

We’re painting ourselves into a corner by recommending Signal, Telegram, Discord. It breaks my heart every time I see them recommended.

Facebook just scored the Big Tech Hattrick 🎉

- Get a whistleblower to stand up and soon testify
- Get worldwide downtime for several linked platforms
- Get data leaked for 1+ billion users

Congratulations to Mark for this truly remarkable accomplishment 👏👏👏

TIL that iphones regularly transmit the Mac addresses of devices attached to the same WiFi network to Apple. In addition to their geographical location of course.

So essentially you can be tracked across all locations where an iPhone is near you (and you haven't disabled your WiFi).

Wow.

Wegen Kundenparkplätzen: Polizei schlägt Apotheker zusammen | APOTHEKE ADHOC

i'm kinda hyped about #jxl (#jpegXL). at first i didn't thought much of it, probably jet another marginal improvement to JPEG, that's probably riddled with patents, right? but it really isn't.

for one thing it's a successor of #FLIF, that cool lossless image codec, that i kinda though quietly died (perhaps some patent ruined it?).

https://flif.info/

but instead it was developed into FUIF and then merged with a google codec called Pik to be the successor to JPEG!
