It's not just decentralization, it's also software freedom, open hardware, identity self-sovereignty, and right to own/repair. They are all connected, and require diligence to achieve and maintain. 99% of people don't care. That's an irrelevant fact. Most people don't care about anything until it's too late.

PinePhone Pro Linux smartphone has been discontinued, but the original PinePhone is still available

The PinePhone Pro is a Linux-friendly smartphone that launched in early 2022 as a higher-performance alternative to the original PinePhone. With a faster processor, more memory and storage, and a better camera, among other things, it was a significant upgradeโ€ฆ on paper, at least.

But with a $400 price tag, it was also twice as expensive as the original PinePhone and never generated as much [โ€ฆ]

warm take



copying/sharing files is not stealing



it's not like a physical item where you deprive someone else of the thing to get it, the only scarcity in the digital world is artificial

@Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com @lain@lain.com @PurpCat@clubcyberia.co @nyanide@lab.nyanide.com Even as a preteen and long before I knew what free software was I was already to copying CDROMs with video games and music and I shared them with friends at school.



Unfortunately most children today grow up having only known DRM-ridden media. It's very sad.

It seems like the AI crawlers learned how to solve the Anubis challenges. Anubis is a tool hosted on our infrastructure that requires browsers to do some heavy computation before accessing Codeberg again. It really saved us tons of nerves over the past months, because it saved us from manually maintaining blocklists to having a working detection for "real browsers" and "AI crawlers".

Mozilla, 2025.

On the one hand, supporting web developers with MDN, one of the best resources for human web developers ever conceived.

On the other hand, helping destroy the industry with so-called "AI" website generators.

Debian Linux was officially founded by Ian Murdock on August 16, 1993. That's 32 years of stable, free, and opensource computing. From a single kernel, it has grown to parent some of the most popular OSes in the world. Cheers to the one that started it all! Happy 32nd birthday to the beloved mother of all distros!! ๐Ÿฅฐ ๐Ÿฐ

In reality every time I try his coding tool, it takes 90% of my time to do 10% of the work I asked for ๐Ÿ‘

Anything not immediately obvious (so, most of my work) makes it spin in circles and often give up.

Just another reminder that you can safely ignore โ€œpredictionsโ€ AI CEOs make. Theyโ€™re all lies.

When I see posts on social media complaining about the reliability of LLMs in generating code, there are 2 distinct kinds of replies from the "A.I." boosters that amount to:

* "You must be throwing the dice wrong."

* "Are you using the latest dice?"

They are never accompanied by a demonstration of the "right way".

I'm going through this "Wayland open letter" that was recently circulating and like normal, people who hate Wayland are their own worst enemy, there are legitimate problems that exist on Wayland and consistently get ignored, but you have to understand the current state of Wayland
Every single time something like this is made, I see the same old already resolved issues being dragged out once again, for every actual issue that is raised there's always 5 things that got solved years ago, repeating these points doesn't help your cause
I have issues with Wayland in its current state but to make sure I don't keep repeating old issues I use Wayland, I learn about Wayland and I make sure I have an up to date idea of what problems still remain problems
