It's not just IzzyOnDroid that is threatened by #Google's upcoming "developer verification" rules – it's ALL OF YOU, ALL OF US, who live in the free #Android world, and want to decide ourselves what gets installed onto our devices.

If Google gets away with this, on the majority of Android devices, you will only be able to install what THEY allow. No more freedom of choice.

Join the resistance! Act for your freedom!

Microsoft is getting heat for AI push, Windows 11 users coin “Microslop”

While Microsoft was developing an AI assistant, it started with Bing Chat. It was decent at the time. Then, they rebranded Bing Chat to Copilot, and that was when they started integrating AI everywhere, including Paint, Notepad, and Windows 11. They also introduced a Copilot key on new computers and laptops, and several AI programs, such as Recall on Copilot+ PCs whose NPU is 40 TOPS or higher.

Social media sites like Reddit have started being flooded with “Microslop” comments under posts about Windows 11. Users were frustrated about how Microsoft was pushing Copilot, so they resorted to calling out the company with negative commentary, even after Microsoft’s CEO Satya Nadella told people to stop calling AI “slop.” For example, one user called out Nadella’s attempt to get people to stop:

Additionally, marketing images for “Microslop” surfaced on Reddit, and this one is from a user on the PC Master Race subreddit.

On the Chrome extension store, there is even an extension for Chrome and Chromium users that offered users to visually modify the website they’re currently in so that Microsoft gets replaced with “Microslop.” This extension says that it does not store and collect data; it just does the job. However, for the regular Google Chrome users on mobile, this extension won’t work because Google did not add extension support for their official mobile Chrome app yet.

Fortunately, bookmarklets work on mobile, so we’ve decided to develop this bookmarklet that does exactly the same thing (and a little bit more) as the Chrome extension. This does not modify download links and not the title; it just modifies the content shown and all the child elements.

To add this bookmarklet, follow these steps:

We have tested this bookmarklet on Android, and here’s the comparison picture:

We're investigating an outage of our Ceph storage system. We'll hit you up once we know more.

Currently, most Codeberg services are not available.

Welcome to our new dedicated account for service notifications surounding Codeberg's systems.

We hope there won't be much to share in the near future :)

Never cared much for Omarchy: It's being made by a right-wing dipshit with no experience with Linux and distributions who's whole "Opinion" seems to be that "90ies Hacker movie look" is what makes a good operating system.

But when I read this actual review https://マリウス.com/a-word-on-omarchy/ I was shocked by how bad it actually is: Technologically but also as an "opinionated Linux distribution". Sad to see that @frameworkcomputer tanked their reputation within their target audience in support of this underbaked Linux-Hacker-Cosplay thing.

#Codeberg Pages ist gerade down. Es gab mit dem Service schon länger Probleme, unter anderem deswegen, weil es zZ nur noch eine Maintainerin gibt. Es gibt aber gute Nachrichten! Ein neuer Server wird gebaut und das komplett in #Rust und #Nix! Wenn also jemensch Zeit hat unsere #digitalsovereignty , durch einen der größeren Konkurentinnen zu GitHub zu unterstützen, dann schaut euch vielleicht mal https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/pages-server-v3 an und helft mit!
