the pressure from social media worked. In systemd, age verification has finally been reverted and removed for good. Linux is always for privacy conscious users, it isn't just another Microslop SlopOS https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/41179 thanks @reddy_1975 for the heads up!

EDIT: they rejected the PR. So keep fight on! systemd folks are cowards and enabling this mess.

Keep Android Open

> Google has not “backed down” from developer verification

Everyone should help to keep the android ecosystem open and free. Every android app developer should stand against it, as from September Google can dictate the rules for app publishing even more and could restrict your app from being installed.

So everyone should sign and help the petition and install and use F-Droid. #keepandroidopen

Keep Android Open

Your phone is about to stop being yours. In September 2026, Google will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with them.

Heute ein paar Jugendliche beim Öffnen meiner Präsentation: "Was ist das denn für ein Betriebssystem? Sieht ja voll alt aus."
Darauf ich: "Linux." Antwort: "Hab ich noch nie gehört."
Bin immer noch hin- und hergerissen, unter was ich das verbuchen soll.

Why #golang devs like single-letter variable names so much? I really hate it!

More than 200 people have been killed in a coltan mine collapse in eastern DR Congo, feeding global supply chains for phones and electronics.

This is not an accident but the human cost of a broken system where conflict, exploitation and corporate demand are prioritised over lives, and it must change.

Können „Dummies“ No-Code- & KI-Agenten betreiben?
Ja, absolut. Und das ist sogar explizit so gewollt. Denn moderne No-Code- und Agent-Systeme sind klickbar statt programmierbar, voll mit Templates, Tutorials und Best Practices und so gebaut, dass man keine Ahnung von IT-Sicherheit, Betriebssystemen oder Netzwerken braucht.
Das Problem: Wo früher Fachwissen nötig war, genügt heute Selbstüberschätzung und Naivität, um großen Schaden anzurichten.

I am speaking at ElixirConf EU. The talk is about an everything bagel of an app that has a truly ridiculous number of things in it. A production system that runs on Nerves and truly embodies what an Elixir monolith can be. Let me illustrate.

We are very well aware of the fact that X for Grok is now offering a spicy mode showing explicit sexual content with some output generated with childlike images:

📌 A detailed request for information on Grok has been sent to X, and we are reviewing the company’s responses.

📌 X has been ordered to retain all internal documents and data concerning Grok’s features until the end of 2026.

The Digital Services Act is very clear:

In the EU, all platforms have to get their own house in order.
