If you want to make your day better, add a note to your AGENTS.md file to use obscure quotes from your favorite movies every once in awhile.

New blog post, a brief reflection on my fifteen years of using the same Kindle, and Amazon's decision to no longer support it.
This evening has had a sad surprise for me.
Now, I am calling for #openSUSE to revert the recently imposed project-wide ban on young people:

#Vim carnival submissions about #PKM.
I hoped to get more people involved, but that wasn’t the case. Perhaps the next one will be 😅.
I loved @malin' mapping:
inoremap <C-l> <c-g>u<Esc>[s1z=`]a<c-g>u
I'll let you find what it does

One of my biggest regrets from the past few years was losing the habit of reading books. All the usual excuses: child to look after, too tired, not enough time…
I didn’t read a ton, but I had an average of 30 books a year. Last year I must have read 6. This year in early April I was at 0… and the realization shook me to my core.
Something had to be done.
I found out about KOreader and SimpleUI - having on an e-reader homepage a bar with reading stats would be an incredible motivator… I thought.
Jailbroke my #Kindle, installed #KOreader and #SimpleUI. And 18 days later I have… an 18 day reading streak and I’m averaging 43 minutes of reading time per day. I’m just so happy! 😊
(Unrelated but #Technofeudalism is REALLY GOOD - off to go resume reading it for another 20 minutes or so).
@bdking71 But there's not a "rift"?
They are both complementary systems that work on the same hardware, and have strengths and weaknesses in different areas.
#Meshcore is VERY good when there's a support network of repeaters set up, but falls on its face in an disbursed, unsupported environment.
Conversely #meshtastic is VERY good at small ad-hoc networks but falls apart with large numbers of users on the same frequency.
Congrats to @protonprivacy for beating us on introducing Post-Quantum Cryptography into mail messaging!
No worries. We'll implement https://autocrypt2.org which additionally offers reliable deletion / forward secrecy during 2026 :)
We are working with Proton cryptographers on OpenPGP specifications, and they are now moving towards using @rpgp , the end-to-end encryption we are using.
Everything will be based on RFC9580 (#OpenPGP v6) ... the eocsystem is moving :)
Mastodon is not going to allow colored badges anymore, but we are going to keep them in our instance. With this rate of deprecation, we can expect even more forks, but that's OK. Luckily, Mastodon is open source.

Steps to reproduce the problem Go to Administration > Roles and edit a role Set a badge color for the role Assign the role to a user and make it highlighted Visit that user's profile page Expected ...
