the CA/Browser Forum and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race

@eloy ah yes the e2ee protocol where some content is not subject to encryption 🤡

Being able to run a desktop environment that's just a mobilified version (phosh) of the desktop environment I use on my laptop (GNOME) with a standard linux terminal and everything on my Google Pixel 3a is amazing. It's precisely what I've always wanted.

Me and @morc at the arcade in Kraków :D

Tiny Core Linux is the gift that just keeps on giving!

@phosh I set up pmOS v24.12 with phosh 0.45 on a 7 inch x86 laptop for a friend, in place of Ubuntu 25.04 he was using.
He was really impressed with the usability on such small device, as the UI can be easily scaled to be comfortable on a small screen (We selected 150% for a 7in 1080p display)

After some extended discussion with the rest of the Treehouse moderation team, as well as extended discussion with Gina, the new owner of fosstodon, we are planning to take incremental steps that will result in full defederation of fosstodon from Treehouse.

Fosstodon has been a consistent moderation headache for our team for years, initially because of the same problems we have seen from many of the tech instances: drive-by snippy and unhelpful comments like "oh YOU wouldn't be having that problem if you just used GNU/Linux instead!"

In the past year or so, however, things have changed in the nature of the moderation issues we have seen from Fosstodon. While the "reply guy" behaviour is still present, the overall temperature has shifted in the direction of the alt-right, both in terms of moderation incidents and, as recently seen, staffing incidents.

Gina has outlined her philosophy regarding the management of Fosstodon and its role in the greater fediverse, however this blog does not address any of the specific problems we, and our users, have observed from their community.

We are increasingly unconvinced that the situation will improve in any meaningful way, so we conclude that defederation is the only option. These conclusions are always disappointing, but as a community of queer hackers, these decisions are necessary to protect the psychological safety of our local Treehouse community.

As we begin to bring our federated relationship with Fosstodon to a close, we encourage our local community to be thoughtful and kind in regard to their frustrations with the Fosstodon community.

To help with continuity, instead of immediate defederation, Fosstodon will be upgraded to a full limit with report suppression in a few hours following this announcement. This will allow local users to continue to interact with Fosstodon users that they explicitly consent to interacting with while they make the transition to a new instance, and allows for reversal if Fosstodon commits to acceptable management practices which we have already outlined in our discussions with Gina.

In the event that nothing meaningfully changes, Fosstodon will then be fully defederated on July 1.

how far off do we think this is from being the default shell startup on every platform

@amszmidt @jbz when I say upload the source, I meant making it available to your users, not literally uploading it publicly.

@amszmidt @jbz you're right. The GNU GPL only forces you to upload the source to *other* users you share your binary with.

But if you just took a GPL project and modified it just for yourself, you are absolutely fine not sharing the source.

Do you have interns at work this summer? They may find this helpful (created by a summer intern at edX a few years ago):

We are now officially a Verein!!!

Next step is submitting paperwork to become an e.V. (registered association), and afterwards becoming a nonprofit.

Exciting stuff ahead! ~d

@ptrc sigh, yeah... on my ubuntu systems I blacklist snap entirely and add mozilla's deb repo instead.
