The wrong ICE is melting, the wrong amazon is burning.
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! ^^

PSA: Did you know that it’s **unsafe** to put code diffs into your commit messages?

Like https://github.com/i3/i3/pull/6564 for example

Such diffs will be applied by patch(1) (also git-am(1)) as part of the code change!

This is how a sleep(1) made it into i3 4.25-2 in Debian unstable.

@mechasystems no worries, I really prefer alt-text in images (it's great that mastodon lets you put alt-text at all :)

was absolutely AMAZING!

We appreciate all of you for giving us your time at our impromptu booth and testing out the new Comet units; we have a ton of updates enroute!

"GitHub CEO Nat Friedman wrote in an internal letter on Tuesday that the company plans to renew a contract worth $200,000 with ICE to license its GitHub Enterprise Server β€” an amount that Friedman called 'not financially material' for the company."

This reminds me of IBM supplying the Nazis with admin systems that helped them murder millions of people. Am I the only one?

@mechasystems Alt text:

1: a few people at the mecha systems (FOSS United) booth, looking at a table with some papers (specs?) and a mecha comet device
2: someone at that table showing a mecha comet running Plasma Mobile
3: a person trying out mecha comet (plasma mobile apps view), another person is holding a fairphone 5 running plasma mobile

feel free to improve on those ^^

@RichiH @fosdem I mean, it's hard to be a conf about Free and Open Source software and not be political, given FOSS is a political movement.

@RichiH @fosdem Wasn't FOSDEM already political?

We had a great FOSDEM yet again, thanks everybody for stopping by! It was fun hearing appreciation of our project by existing users, but also to explain our project to people that have never heard of us.
We can't wait to be back next year!

Our hackathon is starting now and we'll report about what happened there later this week.

Notepad++ have today confirmed their auto process was compromised by Chinese nation state threat actors, in a supply chain hack: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/hijacked-incident-info-update/

This backs up my blog from late last year, with threat actor mapping to Funky Stamen.

The infrastructure and update mechanisms have since been tightened. For what it’s worth - entry was to telcos and financial services with interests aligned to China. Notepad++ dev did a great job treating issue seriously.

@jsparber @tommi @modal @xpub I used to have a QEMU macOS VM at one time, it was hacky but it worked. In case that helps...

Sadly don't have any actual Mac apart from a MacBook from 17 years ago.
