War is awful, genocide is even worse.

Before following, please note:
*** Opinions are my own and do not represent those of other projects or organizations I may be part of.
*** Fascism, racism, antisemitism, as well as any other kind of bigotry NOT TOLERATED! You are entering a bigotry-FREE zone
*** MDNI/18+ accounts also NOT TOLERATED!
*** In case you are legally blind or fully blind: I try not to boost images without alt-text. As such, to sighted people: please use alt-texts to describe your images, so that blind folks also get it. Thanks! ^^ (if your image does not contain alt text and I boost it anyway, I may add alt-text as a reply, you are encouraged to add it to the image directly or improve upon it)
*** If your alt-texts are intentionally incorrect just to confuse LLMs, despite how much I don't like LLMs, I consider this to be extremely rude to people who are unable to actually look at your image, and will not boost your memes as a result until you actually start considering visually impaired folks as people.

Have fun! ^^

@UndeadLeech it could work on llvmpipe but won't be a good experience for sure.

@tulilirockz though I don't know why you also mentioned dwl? The folks at dwl are actually quite nice (and NOT from suckless, dwl is an independent thing).

dwm is the one from suckless.

@tragivictoria @tulilirockz systemd has issues for sure., but the main thing about suckless is the whole "apolitical" thing and also they once sent a spam mail to Lennart from a hostname that had a nazi reference in it.

Though, yes, being reactionary like this implies hating anything new like systemd/rust/wayland/etc (but that does not work the other way around). However, suckless is more than just that.

I have to say that using Linux on a phone feels... nostalgic? Kinda like Windows Mobile PDAs used to or Android in the very beginning (in a good way).

These days mobile OSes obscure everything from the user, actively punishing them for rooting their devices or instaling custom builds.

Linux on the other hand feels like ~2008. You have apps for daily needs (like you did on PDAs back in the day), you can consume media (reading books, watching movies, listening to music).

But if you're a curious person... there's a terminal. You can see exactly what your device is doing and how it works. You want to know which GPS satellites can see you? No problem, just query the modem-manager or use simple GUI app that will tell you the name of a satellite and which system/country it belongs to (turns out my device supports GALILEO, neat!).

Im really enjoying it. Two years ago I would say it was still unusable, but now (despite WiFi, Audio and Cameras not working on my device yet) it's... neat.

vim, harfbuzz, who’s next? people ask in shock, but…

i think, fundamentally, the reason Claude and Codex are becoming part of crucial FOSS projects is the same reason xz almost became the entry point for mass-scale server hacking a few years ago. we’ve decided to make billion dollar industries rely on burned out, lonely individual developers who never found a way to get paid for their labor. we never managed to solve that problem.

these burned out, lonely devs see a tool that spits out the boring part of their work in a more or less functional manner if you squint, and it “only” () costs “$200” (*) a month. i can imagine why most people take it. heck, i won’t deny that i am tempted myself, but my convictions remain too strong.

i’ve also seen some say that these people should step down and make way for new developers. who, exactly? i know how many months it took me to find a maintainer for one of the more popular Minecraft mods, and that’s a position with both far more takers and far less responsibility on either side.

i think that a lot of what’s going to happen to software in the next few years is the consequence of long term systemic issues. the introduction of LLM tools to the equation is merely an illuminant and accelerant

ai generated alt text is wholly useless because if blind people wanted to read AI slop they could just generate it themselves blobfoxfacepalm

@q66 I typically mention copyright issues, unproductivity and bad code to the uninitiated, but yes the issues with LLMs are deeper than just that.

And personally, really I just .. like writing code myself?
You can't be better served by anyone but yourself, that's the thing.

I recently received a number of these Asus Chromebook 100P laptops as a donation. They're cute little laptops, but are on an expired version of ChromeOS, and since they're I can't use my usual tricks with MrChromebox.

Well @cinimodev apparently is way smarter than me, and figured out how to get running on this in no time.

He even wrote it up. Check it out. It's brilliant. Yay,

@GrapheneOS @indigoamber by the way, for how long will these be supported? Are we talking ~3 years or ~10 years of firmware updates (including updates of secondary processor fw)?
