On this day seven years ago I got A FRICKING GOLD MEDAL for my work on #curl. Real. Proper. Gold. From the hands of the Swedish king.

20 October 1938 | A Dutch Jewish girl, Barbara Aal, was born in Amsterdam.

In October 1944 she was deported to Auschwitz from #Theresienstadt ghetto with her mother Julia. They were both murdered in a gas chamber.

Not once, not twice, but a rather multiple times have I found myself on the receiving end of someone using GenAI-generated text as a response to what I first considered being a conversation but apparently that was a mistake on my part.

Have you had such an experience? Someone using #GenAI generated text as their own trying to squeeze it into your conversation?

Sometimes it has been subtle, other times not so much. Each time it has been maddening, and really sad...

As always, we greatly appreciate the support of PureOS subscribers. Advancing PureOS benefits all Librem devices as well as the larger FLOSS ecosystem. Your support is crucial to that mission.

I don't really care what you think about gnu. Use the gpl. Use gnu software.

Separate RMS from his work. It's not like we are paying him.

Bra av Centerpartiet att skriva interpellation och kräva svar!

"Chat control fortsätter stöta på motstånd i EU. I sista stund bytte Nederländerna fot och röstade nej till förslaget, efter att landets säkerhetstjänst flaggat för riskerna med den breda övervakningen.
Det har fått Centerpartiet att, i en interpellation till justitieministern, ifrågasätta om någon sådan analys gjorts av svenska regeringen. "

Have spent some time the last couple of weeks brushing off a merge request from some year ago redesigning the edit POI dialog in GNOME Maps using the newer libadwaita widget styles.

It costs money to run a PeerTube server, and without ads, the only thing sponsoring my content is you.

Supporters get a weekly newsletter and more behind-the-scenes fun. I could really use the help to keep going.

Do you live in one of the countries in red?

If so, your government is pushing for the EU Chat Control law which mandates mass surveillance via fully automated real-time surveillance of messaging and chats

It's finally time. After years of deliberation, #Minetest is finally ready to adopt a new identity and prove it has moved beyond its original purpose. We can finally move past the "mining" and the "testing" and focus on making this platform the best it can be.

Svar: Nej.

Kristersson går till historien som en vindflöjel som egentligen inte gjorde någonting, som aldrig agerade utan i bästa fall bata reagerade.

Jag kan inte erinra mig om en statsminister som varit så handfallen, konflikträdd och rent ut sagt menlös.

This weekend I'm planning to make my self hosted #snac live and hopefully I don't unintentionally DDoS my own fibre connection. It's running in a #Bastille jail on my #FreeBSD server Beastie. I still have some customisation to do with CSS for the theme but I'm just interested to see how much load this'll put on my FTTP 1G / 110Mb connection. If all goes well I may well migrate permanently to my own hosted #ActivityPub server ? 🤔 #HomeLab
