*** Fascism, racism, antisemitism, as well as any other kind of bigotry NOT TOLERATED! You are entering a bigotry-FREE zone

*** 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! ^^

Big Endian won't tell you this but you don't actually need to chose between big- and little-endian, you can just select no endianness!
Endinaness was invented by Big Endian to sell more big-endian

esden@chaos.socialA new halloy release dropped! With a set of new IRCv3 features. Mainly multiline and react. And of course a bunch of other features and fixes. Really enjoying this new little client! :) https://github.com/squidowl/halloy/releases/tag/2026.5

dos@librem.oneIt's funny how this phone keeps feeling faster as it gets older.
Looks like GTK is starting to get its renderer inefficiencies sorted out, as updating Flatpak runtimes has made Tuba smoother than ever 😄 #librem5

elly@donotsta.reI really appreciate folks working on Plasma Mobile though, this is really comfy (pretty much my daily-driver now) 
(Yes, I still need to fix internal audio, wifi and cameras, but they’re not deal-breakers for me especially since I can use bluetooth in the meantime)

ncopa@fosstodon.orgI would like to drop armhf (armv6) support in #AlpineLinux. The only current hardware I am aware of that is armv6 is Raspberry Pi Zero series (EOL 2030). I don't think it is worth the extra effort to support both armhf (armv6) and armv7 at this point.
Do you think we should drop armhf to free up some resources?

One thing people get wrong when considering anti-LLM policies is that they think it is unenforceable since you can't always tell if a contribution is AI-generated. This is true, but it is less about stopping any AI contribution, but warning people that if they try to sneak one in, it will be the last contribution they will ever make to the project. Its the same thing as enforcing a license. A MIT licensed project won't allow GPL contributions, but people can try sneaking them in anyways.

elly@donotsta.reThese 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

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 #arm I can't use my usual tricks with MrChromebox.
Well @cinimodev apparently is way smarter than me, and figured out how to get #postmarketOS running on this in no time.
He even wrote it up. Check it out. It's brilliant. Yay, #linux
