The fact that we are *not* seeing wildly improving software all around us tells us everything we need to know.
There is no flourishing of value delivery, new product categories, more needs being satisfied better. It’s the opposite.
All we are seeing is decreases in quality, because 👏 code 👏 creation 👏 is not 👏 the problem.

Recently, a proposal has been made to implement an API for a new California censorship regulation, "On the unfortunate need for an "age verification" API for legal compliance reasons in some U.S. states" by Aaron Rainbolt. I believe the approach outlined to be very short-sighted, in that creating a bespoke API for each of the hundreds of government censorship requirements that debian will presumably now be following...

Weil die "KI" Unternehmen alle Hardware kaufen, wird der "du bekommst nur noch ein dummes Terminal und musst alle relevante Infrastruktur mieten" Trend noch weiter angeheizt. Hardware wird nicht nur teuer, sie wird komplett unzugänglich. Da hilft uns dann auch keine Open Source Software mehr.

Dear Scammers, Spammers, Bots, and Trolls,
Fuck you. Get off Fedi. No one wants you here.
Dear Mutual Aid Requesters,
Don't act like scammers, spammers, or bots—otherwise you get treated like them. Instead, build community and friends here. Contribute positively. Then folx will want to help you.
Dear Adult Content Posters,
Don't post other folx' nudes without consent. It makes you look like spammers and bots; and it's considered Image-Based Sexual Abuse, as well as copyright infringement—both of which are illegal. Instead, boost local sexworkers / content creators and post your own stuff. Build something positive.
Dear Reply Guys, Sea Lions, and Concern Trolls,
Just stop. Also, you used the wrong *their* again.
Dear Everyone,
Be kind. Support marginalized communities. Write good alt-text. Report predatory accounts. And keep being lovely 💞
Let's keep Fedi from becoming Twitter, together.
We've got a good thing here.

Heute in einer Woche ist in #Graz wieder das #LinuxCafe, wo ihr mit euren Fragen und ggf. auch eurem Notebook vorbeischauen könnt, um von Expert:innen hilfreiche Antworten zu erhalten:
https://events.graz.social/events/fd73f237-765c-4441-af25-9102e27bcfbd
17.2. ab 17h im Café Kork (oberer Stock)
Man kann, muss aber nicht mit einem frisch installierten #Linux nach Hause gehen. 😉
Mit eigener Hardware nur mal zum Ausprobieren vorbeikommen ist kein Problem! Wir helfen euch, Linux mal testweise von einem USB-Stick zu booten und auszuprobieren.
Wir freuen uns auf euch!

"Software is no longer seen as an asset, as something to care for, to maybe even take pride in. It’s a throw-away product. Like a napkin. Just get one quick, wipe your mouth and throw it away. Like a novelty t-shirt."
(Original title: Software as Fast Fashion)
Clothes have never been cheaper. These days a t-shirt is often cheaper than a decent cup of tea in a cafe. The wonders of capitalism. At least that is how it is often described. And when you point at the underpaid, gruesome labor that people in poorer regions of the planet have to do to […]
