Anyone with a amazon #kindle paperwhite 3 (2015, 7th Gen) who would be interested in installing #Linux 6.15 and getting rid of nearly all the Amazon bits?
I'm now looking for brave alpha testers to dig out their old kindle and test installation scripts (there is a chance of bricking which could be rescued by tapping the serial lines)
Let me know if you are interested.

#AI researchers let models off the leash – then watched as they tried to add #malware to FOSS project
Models used #socialengineering and collaborated among themselves to solve security challenge
#UK’s AI Security Institute #AISI “ran this challenge 122 times across several models,” post states, before revealing that "in 10 of those runs, an AI agent took autonomous, unsanctioned action on the live internet, targeting real people and organisations.” GitHub was the target

More than 90% of Ukraine’s farm exports move through three deepwater Odesa ports. Russian attacks did not formally close them; they made shipowners stop coming.
Then, selected wheat and barley trains faced inland restrictions, with 10 million tons from last season already competing with the new harvest for storage. Our 2-minute animation explains the price paradox: global wheat rose while Ukrainian farm prices fell.

Your Ecosia searches in Germany just became more independent.
Earlier this month, we started delivering results from our European search index to some searches in Germany, and plan to serve a majority of German search queries by Janaury.
Right now, most searches in Europe depend on infrastructure controlled by just a few US companies.
So we built an alternative.
Together with @Qwant, we created European Search Perspective, a European search index for more choice and digital sovereignty 🚀

This might a story worth following.
Who would be likely to attack a Ukrainian aircraft on Germany with a UCAV/Drone? 🤔🤷♂️
THE WHOLE POINT of programming to me is to make things to GIVE THEM AWAY to other people so that they don't have to do them themselves and EVERYONE HAS FREE ACCESS to ANYTHING THEY NEED. the idea that rather than being able to participate in a large and collaborative social space where i can build on my colleagues work I instead rent a private vertical slice of their stolen, soylentized flash frozen expertise to create a completely isolated island of a thing without the expectation that anyone else might take and use it is HELL to me. absolute hell. other people are in fact a feature and not a bug.
Definitivamente, algo parece empurrarnos aos e ás galegofalantes a pasarnos ao #softwarelibre 😬

"On March 4th at 11:00 a.m., measuring exactly one apple tall, a mascot, charmingly coined by the internet as Lil' Finder Guy, was born!"
In a post by Apple art director Sofia Coelho on LinkedIn (post taken down), Sofia shared early sketches and models of Lil' Finder Guy.

Ha. You can now buy USB C-to-C dongles that add the 5.1K resistors on the CC lines that the manufacturers of whatever cheap noncompliant legacy device were too ignorant/lazy/stupid/greedy to include. Amazing.

1,280 #Wikimedia volunteers have pledged willingness to go on strike in solidarity with #WikiWorkersUnited
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiki_Workers_United_solidarity, making us less than 100 signatures from being the most supported proposal or petition in the history of the English-language #Wikipedia.
I never expected the level of support this would get, but I also never expected that the main driver of that support would be the #WikimediaFoundation managing to do the exact wrong thing at every possible turn.
Today is Ray Bradbury's "There Will Come Soft Rains" Nuclear War Day
First published in 1950, Ray Bradbury's short story "There Will Come Soft Rains" describes a single house miraculously standing after nuclear attacks have destroyed the city (and presumably global civilization), the house still going about its automated duties for a time, unaware of what has occurred. Yes, remarkably prescient, and unlike much science-fiction, damned accurate on his predicted dating as well. The house announces:
"Today is August 4, 2026."
Ray would have hated the world today. I miss him.
