Oh for heaven’s sake, people.

I made something to watch the 2024 eclipse remotely!

This is every public webcam in the path of totality, with a live-updating view of the umbra.

I wish more people who are worried about FOSS supply side attacks would realize that universal basic income and free healthcare would result in an almost infinite stream of excellent software from people who care more about quality than profit.
I'm really hoping you don't need me to tell you that using machine learning ("AI") systems to identify potential targets and then to suggest that they be targeted when at home with their family members, including children, is one of the most abhorrent, unethical, inhumane things I've ever seen. There is absolutely no excuse for developing these systems. Technology is never neutral. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/03/israel-gaza-ai-database-hamas-airstrikes

I do like KDE Plasma and ran it for a while, but there are still things that are a bit rough around the edges with certain graphics adapters and Wayland that kept it from it being my current DE of choice.

I would like to see both GNOME and KDE Editions of Fedora Workstation being published and promoted equally rather than the latter usurping the former for a single Fedora Workstation edition.

Q: Why is Donald Trump suddenly selling $60 bibles?

A: It enables churches to funnel money to him without violating the (US law) ban on political campaigning by churches—it's a form of money laundering, in other words.
