I switched from #macOS to #Linux #Debian13 between christmas and new year‘s eve.
And already I ask myself, why I didn‘t switch earlier…

For as long as I can remember I have always had this dreamy view of the US. As a youngster I even went there in my earlier days to try out a career as a model/actor. (Yeah... it didn't really work out!)

But the dream was there, and the "magical" view of the US was there.

Today... it's not quite the same. And it's so incredibly sad. I have many friends, even family, in the US. But I look at the current country leadership with utter disgust. Abusing... abusing almost everything that can be abused.

Bullying smaller countries, bullying and abusing minority and other marginalized groups of people.

Now with the whole Greenland business, Venezuela... when is it going to stop? I feel obliged to limit my use of services and tech from US companies just to do something.

But in so doing I feel I'm also punishing all those who do not support the current government, not supporting the orange man etc.

I'm very conflicted and I'm not quite sure what to feel or think.

Clear-cut and impossible to rebut. Fox interviewing Corbin Trent.

"Where’s the protest against the regime that’s killing people in the streets right now?”
“Well, they’re doing those today, and it’s called the ICE protests.”
“But… they’re talking about Iran at the ICE protests?”
“No, I think they’re talking about the regime that’s shooting people in the face.”

Corbin Trent is an Appalachian factory owner turned political strategist, cofounder of Justice Democrats, and former communications director for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

“Are you a communist?”
“No, I am an anti-fascist”
“For a long time?”
“Since I have understood fascism.”

Switched to #emacs. I'm going to be sooo much more insufferable now.

Chairman of the Danish Defence Committee, Rasmus Jarlov:

“[The US] is surely the most present threat to our country right now. Russia is not threatening to take any territory from Denmark, neither is China. So we are in a situation where the Americans are the most present, most serious threat to our country.”

Seriously you guys… when will Congress put a leash on the mad dog?

Anthropomorphizing language can be cute when applied to your favorite car, but it helps to muddy the discourse when applied to tech sold as "AI", especially given all the boosters and AGI-cult members peddling their nonsense about imminent artificial minds. New from me & Nanna Inie on Tech Policy Press -- how to spot & revise away from anthropomorphizing language applied to "AI":

Free Software Foundation receives historic private donations
Published on Dec 24, 2025 05:06 PM

The Free Software Foundation (FSF) today announced it received two major contributions totaling around $900,000 USD.

These extraordinary donations, both made to the FSF in the cryptocurrency #Monero are among some of the largest private gifts ever made to the organization. The donors wish to remain anonymous.

- when you value freedom and privacy, Monero is the only choice.

Wow, #Gentoo moving from GitHub to Codeberg is cool. Haven't run Gentoo for years now but still have a soft spot for it (I learned so much running it as main driver).

I also use Codeberg für my code (and joined the association) but we can't just "move everything to Codeberg". That's neither sustainable nor a good model. We should have more associations like Codeberg to offer those kinds of services. Create a whole web of forges for collaboration while we can watch GitHub go to hell.

What culture workers are in the fediverse, and what are their handles? I want to make a list and a starter pack with authors, filmmakers, musicians, etc!
