Quoting this again because it extends to the recent happenings as well. You really shouldn't be caring too much about them.

The #Linux Foundation is way less relevant for the Linux desktop space than you might think. The "Linux" in its name is a little misleading, because while it does indeed support the development of the Linux kernel, it also oversees a bunch of other projects. It's not at all comparable to e.g. the #GNOME Foundation, #KDE e.v. or the #Debian project.

It's not run by the same kind of people, and does not have the same kind of goals. It does not concern itself with the ideology of the free software movement, or the "community" in the sense that you and I perceive that word.

It exists as a collaboration ground for corporations, and primarily serves the interests of those.

@thomasfuchs Apple was founded closer to the Coolidge administration than to today; IBM was founded closer to Napoleon’s invasion of Italy than to the present day.

Our recent past seems shorter than its own past.

Does anyone know of a fediverse client that works on android versions bellow android 5?

You made it possible for @joynewacc to leave Gaza and study in Milan. Now you have the chance to reunite her with her sister.

What do you say, Fediverse?

It’s worth noting that the #fairplayer and #mirlo integration isn’t a one-off thing between the two platforms - it’s the first large-scale test of the Canimus protocol! It’s been pretty successful and is what has informed the next revision of the protocol, which is now called Chorus. Want to help guide its future? Join in at https://github.com/PlaidWeb/Chorus

my GrapheneOS (Pixel 8) has started to randomly crash pretty hard. I thought it was from some experimental vibe coded app I tried so I uninstalled that and it seemed better for most of the day and now it just crashed again. Any experience with looking thru logs on Android to figure out what is causing it?

I forgot to get the latest longitude :(

this is a great feature we should totally steal for the fediverse. also has the potential for many interesting puns to be spoken outloud for people who are more anon with their identity

An interesting read on the physical manufacturing reasons that e-paper displays are still consolidated, and still expensive, even though the original patent has expired.

If you like HyperCard, or are HyperCard-curious, I'd like to share an early build of my HyperCard player for modern macOS, "Stacks". It runs stacks natively: no emulator, sound (with MacinTalk speech synthesis!), period-accurate typography.

There's an in-app browser for the Internet Archive's HyperCard collection, so you can explore thousands of stacks and run them with one click.

Still early days with rough edges, but I'm having fun with it. Please report bugs!
