    @drew hits the nail on the head as usual. Torvalds, on AI in the kernel: &quot;We do open source because it results in better technology, not because of religious reasons.&quot; This statement—morally rigid, hypocritically pseudo-apolitical, arguing from authority, and irrationally ignoring evidence—overtly and redundantly meets the criteria to be dismissed as a religious statement. https://drewdevault.com/blog/AI-in-Linux/ #noai

    OMG you guys holy CRAP nerdgasm WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME ABOUT #HELIBOARD So I&#39;ve been on #GrapheneOS for three years. Never touched Android before that. I installed OpenBoard on day one, based on what I took to be the consensus. Liked it very much. Today it started acting up. Baffling. Decided to uninstall/reinstall. Not listed in #fdroid ... because the repo has not been touched in FOUR YEARS Cut to me trying FlorisBoard (also impressive, except it currently lacks text suggestions, deal...

    Migrated to @keepassxc@fosstodon.org and @kunzisoft@mastodon.social months ago, everything works on all my devices. Barely a blip to my password workflow habits. So I just nailed the coffin shut and deleted my @bitwarden@fosstodon.org account. Hope you and all your investors lose your shirts #KeePassXC #KeePassDX #Bitwarden

    RE: https://fosstodon.org/@tarsius/116857447830546754 I admire @tarsius so much. I wish I had more money to send him. You know he makes his living this way, right? Come on, #Emacs, support him however you can.

    tl;dr Staying on Debian Stable So it&amp;#39;s been an interesting summer of experiment. I&amp;#39;ve been on #Debian Stable for ages and loved it from the beginning. I&amp;#39;ve dabbled for the first time this summer in #Fedora (easiest and safest #AsahiLinux install on a discarded Macbook). And I finally got time (and lots of help! thanks!) to try out #Guix #GuixSystem as a distro. Impressed with Fedora, rock solid. As a GNOME user it would take awhile to notice it wasn&amp;#39;t Debian. I...

    The story of my favorite #IronMaiden t-shirt. Córdoba, Argentina, January 2006, in a small boutique selling only black heavy metal t-shirts. The two kids behind the counter (who, except for mother tongue, could be switched with another pair of pimply-faced third-generation Italian kids from my town in Ohio) are nervous. &amp;quot;Quiero una camisa negra sobre /ˈaɪərn ˈmeɪdən/ por favor.&amp;quot; (Silence.

    Inherited a four-year-old Macbook Air M2 into the Stack of Laptops™. Put Asahi Fedora remix on it last night, lickety split. On paper, this is the most powerful hardware I have ever owned. I expect to use this device for the next ten years. Sincere thanks to the whole team. @AsahiLinux @lina #HectorMartin #AlyssaRosenzweig #asahi #linux #fedora

    Anniversary! THREE YEARS using @GrapheneOS exclusively. I now cannot imagine life without it. And I could not have done it without @veronica&amp;#39;s explaining. Both deserve your support! #GrapheneOS

    Today I was dealing with Tahoe on a Macbook after almost ten years away. I say unironically: commercial operating systems represent crimes against humanity. People pay for this? Windows and Mac users are all victims of Stockholm syndrome. What a hellscape. #FreeSoftware #softwarelibre #mac #windows #linux

    My amazing faculty colleagues at The Pennsylvania State University have just WON our vote to form a labor union! The vote was historic: the biggest vote in education in Pennsylvania history. Now 5,000 plus of us are part of SEIU local 668! Initial reports are that we won with 75% of the vote. Three to one. https://www.pennstatefacultyalliance.org/ #laborunion #solidarity #seiu668 #pennstate #academia #highered
