"what operating system do you use?" "barebox"

I've been told by @a3f that 2048 was originally implemented in Barebox by blackshift. Looking at the git log, it seems to have then been ported to U-Boot later by sjg1.

Spreading for awareness.

this is where most of the ram goes btw

htop has been ported to Redox OS! I'm using it to identify performance bottlenecks.

please don't build nazi bars, I won't go to them

@cas and it's also a big red flag.

@cas "apolitical" FOSS projects don't exist. Free Software *is* political to begin with. So if someone's project is telling you they're apolitical, they're lying.

it's real: first MNT Quasar processor module prototype, assembled today by @theawesomerandomness! this will allow the usage of qualcomm qcs6490 and hopefully two other pin compatibles in current and future MNT open hardware laptops/computers.

screen is canonically a dog?

@ariadne @whitequark @mcc did you know solaris and illumos still use userspace X.Org drivers and don't even support Wayland in the first place?

GitHub continues war against own users.

Next: Remove support for standard 2FA/TOPT protocol, and introduce weekly expiry for <s>passwords</s> API tokens.

In bizarre move, Framework embraces deeply extremist views

Framework, the maker of repairable laptops, is embroiled in a controversy, as the company and its CEO are openly supporting people with, well, questionable views.

If you know a little bit about PR in social media space, you might note that, right out of the gate, a project by a vocal white nationalist known for spli

@ariadne I think it's not just about getting replacement parts quickly and easily, but the durability of the parts matter too. Having to buy replacement parts should be a last resort, not something you'd do daily. Daily, laptops should last on many situations without breaking. My current laptop is a HP laptop from 2011, and so far I never had to replace a single thing on it. I miss that kind of durability in newer laptops however..

I'm not saying being able to get replacement parts quickly isn't important, but it shouldn't be the kind of thing you do every week either.

I was recently looking at Framework for a new x86 laptop, as I believed the company to be reasonably aligned with my values (e.g. pro-repair, pro-FOSS, pro-humanity). But others have warned me that they are now supporting Hyprland, Omarchy, etc. They support these projects led by people who hold alt-right views, in the name of building a “big tent” coalition.

The problem, however, is that building a “big tent” coalition, by design, requires some form of value alignment.

Alpine is a “big tent”, for example, but people who want to harm members of our community aren’t welcome.

This isn’t hard.

Needless to say, I won’t be buying a Framework laptop anytime soon, which makes me sad.

@libreleah @interpipes @krans @neil As far as I know, about 70% of the money goes to google and only the remaining goes to the author (or in the case of some bogus ContentID flagging, which actually happens a lot more than you might think, all the money goes to google)

I feel like randomly promoting a really amazing Free Software project:

https://invidious.io/

Yes. Invidious is a self-hosted YouTube frontend. It provides a web interface for you to search/watch YouTube videos.

You can run it yourself, or use a public instance.

I installed *my own* private instance, on my network. It's working great.

Your browser won't run all the YouTube bloat. Invidious still has to run Youtube's challenge.

Really, really great project. Way better than YouTube Premium.

I wrote some code to generate a random name out of some of the wordchunks I had edited already and it resulted in this

I know this might sound controversial¹, but you know what's a bigger tent than a tent that lets nazis in?

A tent without nazis.
