Slop pushers should not be debated, they should be removed without debate.

If I were a #linux kernel developer I would have immediately put up a vote of no-confidence in Linus on the #LKML. Either the majority of kernel devs are for, or against this — pointless debate *always* allows the technofascists to win because they never had any intention of finding a working compromise or best solution.

If Linus is so certain of AI it’s he that should have to fork Linux because I doubt that he’s the majority.

If bad leaders can not be removed, forcibly, from #opensource projects then #FLOSS is no better than fascism.

It's 2026 -- DOES YOUR HARDWARE ACCELERATED WINDOW MANAGER CAST SHADOWS ACCURATELY?? 1996 for comparison.

Any last-minute recommendations for any *serious* non-AI licences for code? I'm going to put something out and my choice would be CC-BY-SA-NC. Yes, this is no-AI by default due to it's share-alike and non-commercial clauses -- it doesn't have to be spelt out -- and I believe that having to acknowledge the AI only legitimises it

Unless you were largely cognisant during the late 90s, it's very hard to get across to you just _how_ bristling with positive energy computing was back then, just **look** at this opening screen, it screams "ARE YOU READY TO LEARN MOTHERF*CKER?!".

It has dolphins, in the clouds. How many smartphone apps welcome you with dolphins in clouds?

Don’t make me tap the sign 👆A lack of a No-AI policy is a pro-AI policy.

The #Blender leadership must step down. A reversal of decision is not enough; anybody who thought Anthropic’s money was okay should be purged. I said it before—governance is FOSS’s no.1 challenge right now. If tyrannical leaders cannot be removed from #FOSS projects then open source is no better than Fascism.

Has anyone any recommendations for tools / styling for #ebooks? I'm looking at #asciidoc to #epub but I'm wondering what the "right" way to style the epub should be

"Ce n'est pas un smartphone"

Tactility, Utility, Intentionality; a picture from 5 years ago of everything I used instead of a smartphone (although I forgot to include the Kindle 4).

The dumbphone, a Sony Ericsson Elm I used from 2010 to 2022 and only switched to a smartphone when I was forced to by a number of online services finally breaking on dumbphones post-pandemic; a move I continue to regret.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as #Linux, is in fact, Systemd/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, #Systemd plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Systemd system made useful by the Systemd daemon, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX...

(yes, I actually get to use this joke for real this time! The author of Systemd is making a new Linux engineering company)
