Har skrivit ett blogginlägg om att byta till Linux! :D https://autonomin.fritext.org/det-stora-linuxinlagget/
@hund embrace the darkness!
I think it's nice to stay still in the dark, turn off all your flashlights or whetever you have and just let it be dark, then stand there for a while and observe your surroundings. Just be in it.
> "The week Europe realised it stands alone against Russian expansionism."
I think "expansionism" is kind of a weak word for it. Better call it fascism.

I did not really know @panoramax before today.
"Panoramax is a digital resource for sharing and using field photos. Anyone can take photographs of places visible from public roads and contribute them to the Panoramax database. This data is then freely accessible and reusable by all."

#OnThisDay, 28 Nov 1967, Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovers the existence of pulsars.
Not included in the 1974 Nobel prize for the discovery, Bell received a £3m prize for her work in 2018. She's used it to set up a foundation to improve the diversity in STEM.

@eighthave so that's what it's about! I always wondered what it is that everyone is so thankful for. It makes sense.

All is not lost. Today I had a class of master students in human geography that readily accepted and appreciated they cannot use genAI and that realized the value of topical encyclopedias hitherto unknown to them with positive surprise and thankfulness.

I just noticed: after starting my little link "blog" or collection back on June 1st, as of today it has now grown to 150+ links! 🔗
My reason for starting it was two-fold: I thought some folks could be interested in following along with what I read (that's why you can also subscribe via #rss). But, it's also a really useful archive for myself!

Nu är det lite snabba puckar här. Jag ska på Per Anderssons show Kardborreshowen ikväll kl 20 på Draken Live i Göteborg. Min sambo som skulle med har blivit sjuk. Så du kan få en gratis biljett! Meddela mig kvickt om du vill hänga på!
@airwhale sweet dreams 😴

Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (47/2025): Duranium enters the chat

@okias I guess the CoC thing puts power into somebody's hands, and that power can be used in good ways but it can also be abused. Having a CoC and trying to enforce it can be good, but it can also be bad, depending on how it's done.
Anyway, I guess part of this had to do with that when we say something, what really matters is not what we meant but how it lands on the receiving side. Like with the pronnounds thing, you may not care but it could matter much more to the person you talk to.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@mellifluousbox/115569669020807811
Access to a non-billionaire owned and authoritarian-proof social network is self-defence.
Today Mastodon became one of the open source projects I donate to. They're simply that important.
@joshua don't get me started. The damn thing is always half loose, you never really know if it's plugged in or not. On top of that, it's symmetric so the same plug can be plugged in different ways, making everything even more random. Touch the thing with a feather and suddenly it's not connected anymore. Touch it again and it might get connected again, or not, you never know. Maybe if you hold it at a special angle and say prayers and the moon is in line with Saturn, it might stay connected.
Grrr. I just hate USB-C plugs. USB-A is so much better.

Together with @forgejo, we will have a presence at #FOSDEM 2026! (Thanks @fosdem!)
FOSDEM will take place in Brussels between 2026-01-31 and 2026-02-01—it is the largest European conference on free and open-source software and the admission is free (as in beer).
Just like last year's FOSDEM, we will be running a stand, exchanging stickers and having delightful conversations. If you find anyone wearing a badge of either project's logo, feel free to say hi. :D
@phosh thanks for this!
A feature request: I know of at least one user who wants to switch to #LinuxMobile but cannot because they really need a screen reader (someone who is blind or almost blind). Is that something that could be implemented in phosh?
