Woop Woop! Just got this mail !

I'm presenting on the next @nluug #conference about @AsteroidOS, a  #distro for your #smartwatch. Because how cool is it to have a full Linux computer on your wrists? Well, I'm not gonna spoil. Will tell you that right there .

Other topics are no doubt going to be equally cool, if not cooler. Registrations just opened today, so be sure to sign up and come by!

After messing with different USB cables and flashing several different versions of the software, I now have @AsteroidOS running on my TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS. Support for this particular model isn’t perfect, but I like it nonetheless. Looking forward to knowing the time, without notifications on my wrist every couple of seconds.

Erg blij met die vergelijking aan de hand van bananen. Banana for scale is immers een ding 😅

Thanks for the graphics!

A few more European companies shipping GNU/Linux pre-installed worth knowing about:

* MNT Research GmbH: https://shop.mntre.com/t/hardware/reform (see @mntmn )
* Vikings GmbH (refurbished laptops + coreboot/libreboot): https://shop.vikings.net
* Minifree (UK, founded by Leah Rowe @libreleah, refurbished laptops + libreboot), https://minifree.org

The European scene is bigger than people realize!

For #GNOME 50 X11 session was finally removed, making #Wayland the only available session.

This opened doors for many clean-ups and improvements, with more in the future! Thank you for everyone involved♥️

Phil Hands, a Debian developer, just posted this message in his blog:

On March 6th, we left my daughter's laptop on a train: ICE 1201 (Hamburg-Harburg to Bludenz).

The laptop is a Lenovo X230. The most obvious distinguishing feature is a pink Mathilda Hands sticker in the middle of the lid.

The keyboard layout is British (with a £ above the 3).

It was left in coach 24 of ICE 1201, next to seats 51-54, in the luggage gap between the seats, on the floor.

Some light bedtime reading has arrived.

I enjoyed @sboots’s essay on becoming a “generative AI vegetarian”, and for a few reasons: it’s a great read, first and foremost, but also my GOODNESS is this well-sourced. Sean pulls together many, many threads here; always grateful for a map like this.

Generative AI vegetarianism

Hello, it’s me: I’m a generative AI vegetarian. The tech industry is convinced this is the future; I don’t want any of it, full stop. Why choose generative AI vegetarianism? Just like real-life vegetarianism, there are a bunch of good reasons.

It's crazy to think I can download the equivalent of a hundred floppy disks worth of data to my browser cache, with just a few minutes of doomscrolling.

Can't wait to use and promote illegal operating systems that do not verify age.
