As a EU citizen, I feel the @EUCommission should also be involved in ensuring there is a secure and open source alternative mobile operating system as a true alternative to Android & Apple Devices.

Unpopular opinion: it’s actually good that it’s hard to make software and that it takes a long time.

Saves people from a lot of bad software and from a lot of unwanted updates. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Throwing out here as search has become useless and AI is… not to be trusted.

- I have two Ubuntu 24.04LTS servers.
- I used `apt` to install MySQL.
- Both servers ran fine for many months.
- Both servers will no longer apt-upgrade because of the same error with MySQL:

`Unmet dependencies: mysql-server-8.0 depends mysql-server-core-8.0 (= 8.0.44-0ubuntu0.24.04.1) but 8.0.45-0ubuntu0.24.04.1 is installed`

Has anyone *had and fixed* this issue?

Model Collapse

If you're from the rich Western world, please have the decency of not making tour announcements elsewhere about how you did not get a show in your city since... a date that's way more recent than most of the world got.

Just be happy for the people who finally get something. It's not all about you.

(this ended up way more polite than I originally thought it or I would say it in person)

Nice to see that Paul McCartney is onside about Big Tech over-reach in overriding user choice. “The singer found himself in conversation with then-chief executive Tim Cook, and seized the opportunity to chide him for the iPhone’s constant need to update its software. “I don’t want updates!” he told him. “I just learned this lot! My feeling is: Look, I bought this device, it’s mine. So it should kinda do what I want.“” I've always loved his song "The Long And Winding Road To Fair Competition". https://www.theguardian.com/music/2026/may/29/paul-mccartney-bandmates-oasis-nostalgic-new-album-the-boys-of-dungeon-lane

‘I can gauge John’s reaction: that’s good, stick that in’: Paul McCartney on how old bandmates – and Oasis – inspired his nostalgic new album

At 83, McCartney is looking back for his 18th solo LP, to formative flirtations, family singalongs, even his own birth – and the febrile times that mirror our own. It’s given him ‘every hope that we’ll get through’

*gently grabs the cheeks of all programmers to stare deeply into their eyes*

All I want is a dry tech manual. A boring, well indexed manual that defines every function. Not a chatbot. Not a training. Not a million "articles" that I have to search through. Not a "community forum".

My rice cooker came with one. I want one for every piece of software I have to interact with.

Go get yourself a technical writer if necessary.

I. Want. An. Instructional. Manual.
