Friendly reminder that Linux and Mesa and Weston maintainers have all accepted bribes to implement Digital Restrictions Management in the Linux graphics stack
I'm sorry, but what the actual fuck?
I do, and I find some bugs quite annoying, but there're good enough work-arounds so at the end of the day it can still perform the functionality.
Speaking of archiving, IPFS is a pretty decent protocol for the job.
Why use iPhone when you can use PinePhone (or Librem 5)?
But why did you have one in the first place?

Once again I'm creating accounts under the shorter alias cnx! Free and (maybe) distributed sites might not have many users, but that's not always a bad thing!

Why all the hate on #purism they might have oversold the #librem5 as a daily driver but I hope most bought it to progress the ecosystem... I'm so greatful for the work they did on #phosh and #libhandy that make my #pinephone usable.

For most of this year, @zwol and I have been working on a pretty ambitious project:
* to make a fresh release of GNU Autoconf, a crucial #FLOSS build tool that hadn't had a new release since 2012
* to get paid for that
* to help put Autoconf on a more sustainable footing so it doesn't have to get rescued again a little while down the road
Autoconf 2.70 is due out next month, and you can read my fresh LWN story about the rejuvenation & what's next:
