Disappointing, and a reminder that I don't actually know what a monopoly is (clearly not a "know it when I see it" situation): https://www.engadget.com/apple-wins-appeals-court-ruling-against-epic-games-191331514.html -- but hopefully irrelevant anyway, with other forces (EU) pushing Apple to allow users to install software from outside the App Store. iF-Droid? #apple #iphone #fdroid

What an encouraging story -- university students in Lithuania push back against proprietary 2FA requirement and win: https://fsfe.org/news/2023/news-20230418-01.en.html

Paid $10 today to send a 4 page FAX.

@calculastrology I am not, but I considered pretending that I am because that is cool.

@jay @bergmayer @mattl (originator of libre.fm) has ideas about doing more with it but for some reason his replies aren't showing up here -- maybe message him directly if interested

@jamesvasile Am I desperate enough to do that? I might be..

@esther@strangeobject.space Very much agree, and I thought food might be a useful metaphor / analogy: https://www.fsf.org/bulletin/2016/spring/you-are-what-you-run

@mjg59 Just waiting for the announcement of the addition of "Cine"

A bit crushed to learn that the new #Murakami book release date I've been looking forward to on my calendar (today) is the release date *in Japan*. Probably another year to wait for a translation I can read.

@bergmayer libre.fm is also cool.

NPR leaves Twitter (for now): https://www.engadget.com/npr-is-ditching-twitter-over-government-funded-media-label-on-its-main-account-155556726.html (good on ya)

5 out of the 10 books on the NYT BR combined fiction bestseller list (yesterday) are by the same person. It's been that way for a long time. I don't know what to do about that, but I think people might like some changes made to the way the list is built / presented.

@chrisjrn @sri

I do too (have participated in 2 in-person trainings)

@xor They were one of the first people to send me mail when I registered my LLC.

If you sent me an email and are wondering why I didn't answer yet, I probably didn't get it. Sporadic email issues due to bad MX records due to bad instructions from Gandi plus terrible sysadmin (me).

@dansup Any plans to also put it in F-Droid?

I just tried to click an old answers.yahoo.com link and got kinda sad.

@adfeno While I didn't necessarily want to have to learn a bunch of new stuff, I have definitely found systemd to be very useful in general.

@danderzei Yes, but the request to enter the password is the prompt to the LLM. You don't think an LLM trained on data about people will be able to make good guesses at passwords? The list of common passwords as well as common password "methods" (like birthdays etc) would be one part of the data, but also things like where people live and what they do for a living, etc.. I don't know, but seems pretty likely to me.
