The Mozilla foundation has an open survey about how they should approach the future, if you care feel free to fill it out. Especially so if you've been unhappy about the organization for years https://mozillafoundation.tfaforms.net/101 Ran into someone from high school just now who I don't think I ever mentioned I had a channel to who congratulated me on how it's doing. Am I truly a Z list celebrity now This is a game about an American president who is a weeb fighting zombies, made from the perspective of a Chinese game studio, I don't even know what happened in this trailer but it's getting wish-listed https://youtu.be/BIUQo1y74Fw Today we have @Jv5_Guy on the podcast a Vtuber who recently switched over to Linux but also wrote a beginners guide for setting up this software on Linux Everyone has probably already forgot about Winamp, but they have gone ahead and removed the repo https://github.com/WinampDesktop/winamp

@BrodieOnLinux This is interesting. Like, actually. Guess they aren't going open source at all. @BrodieOnLinux they definitely didn't think about what actually means of being open source @BrodieOnLinux arguably, that's better than having this shitshow of a repo up... The Wordpress drama has now expanded out to effecting small developers who are losing contracts over the unclear future of the corporate hosting and the project as a whole https://www.reddit.com/r/Wordpress/comments/1g3rwwm/you_asked_how_were_suffering_as_a_result_of/ @BrodieOnLinux Watch WP Engine fork it and call it WebPrint so they don't have to change their name. #WordPress is not the Web and https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2003/07/12/WebsThePlace (it has some sequels). Thank you, @timbray ZLUDA: CUDA For AMD GPUs, Returns From The Grave #Linux #YouTube https://youtu.be/0UH1Iv9E5fs @BrodieOnLinux@mstdn.social just to be sure, how many Hawaiian looking shirts do you have If there is one political belief I will never budge on, it's daylight savings being a ridiculous concept that should have been done away with years ago. All of the research on it points to none of the purported benefits being real, and it being a net negative. I don't care which side of the clock SA falls on, whether it's +9:30 or +10:30, just stop changing it. All of these other countries seem to function just fine without it, I'm sure the people who want an extra hour of sun can adapt.

@BrodieOnLinux it’s why I like it when I’m at my house in Arizona other then one small Northern portion the entire state does not respect daylight saving time and is on its own time.  it does make it annoying when people call you at 4 or 5 am though. But my phone is on silent tell 7. @BrodieOnLinux In Canada, when we switch to standard time, the sun sets so early that I have essentially 4 to 5 hours of safety before I cannot be outside due to my blindness. Yet, during the summer, dangerous light levels set in at around 8 to 9 PM. All of this assumes I wake up at noon. If you're not going to abolish DST, at the very least, you should activate it during the months where the sun normally sets before I've drank my morning coffee. I do not encourage you to do this or plan to do this myself however someone did get MacOS running on a Steam Deck and wrote a guide about it https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/1fwr6xn/macos_on_steam_deck_guide/ Mozilla decided to step back and actually explain what they're doing with getting involved in advertising President Post: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/digital-advertising-privacy/ CEO Post: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/improving-online-advertising/ The BIGGEST Linux CVE Ever Is A Printer Bug #Linux #YouTube https://youtu.be/bLr5M1ijbbQ @BrodieOnLinux watched like an hour+ long primagen vod the other day on this. Wild stuff. I'm scared for what other exploits remain unknown. But it's a necessary evil to find and fix these kinda things. it's incidents like this one, that make me want to keep backup copies of my favourite emulator repos (melonDS comes to mind). I just hope, that they won't start coming after decomps. @BrodieOnLinux Hope this escalates into so much corporate stupidity that people realize what a losing game consoles are. If Sony jumps on this train and the console market tanks from it, they wont hurt as bad since they are already entrenched in the PC space, unlike Nintendo. 1/2

@BrodieOnLinux It seems like they offered money or something like that to them? @BrodieOnLinux would that really be that pointless to accept the fight and try to stand the project in court? can having more money really make that big difference of who's right here? @BrodieOnLinux instructions unclear: allowing emoji when setting passwords, but not when using them for login (iirc that used to be a [hopefully fixed by now] issue on apple devices) @BrodieOnLinux Emoji? Heck, I just signed up for a system that disallowed *all* special characters in passwords. I want my laundry to be secure, gosh dang it! The biggest Linux CVE of the century was published nearly 2 weeks early and would you look at that, it's not the biggest Linux CVE of the century

@BrodieOnLinux What is nice from the reporter of the vulnerability is that they investigated deeply and reported in detail, but they overhyped it, with the 9.9 grade and making pressure against us from #OpenPrinting. In addition, there was the leak which forced us to disclose quickly, before we had a complete set of fixes (but already enough to prevent the described exploit), perhaps cause by the post on X by the reporter, which stayed only visible for short time ... @BrodieOnLinux why would anyone not run a firewall on any desktop -> block all incoming, allow all outgoing (except 443 UDP, which is just evil) @BrodieOnLinux If it blocks distribution is it even copyleft anymore? Share-Alike is kind of core to the idea of being copy left, but derivative works arguably aren't if we consider CC-BY-ND to be copyleft. Please read the whole thread but my bullshit censor is going wild with this one. I'm curious to see what actually comes out of this disclosure https://x.com/evilsocket/status/1838169889330135132 @BrodieOnLinux fyi @alexmurray , though sorry to tag you if this is just noise Fediverse: Mozilla has some serious problems nowadays Me: ...Did you only just notice

@BrodieOnLinux I've fully noticed since 2019. And pieces of this a few years before. Now Mozilla is REALLY in for it now! 😬 Less A.I., more Firefox and Thunderbird! 🙄 GNOME's New Executive Director Could Be You!! #Linux #YouTube https://youtu.be/EqgFDwwhVjo @BrodieOnLinux I support the harshest of penalties for people who think it's funny to SWAT streamers, people in game lobbies, etc, if your country has the death penalty then you deserve it, otherwise life in prison, there is 0 reason to call in a fake police report You might think that's harsh but people have died and will continue to die from pulling stupid stunts like this and I have 0 sympathy for anyone who wants to do so. @BrodieOnLinux The usa is such a shit hole... Here in Brazil we have something called presumption of innocence. The police, swat, the Pope.. isn't allowed to do such thing.
@BrodieOnLinux I can't even imagine how anyone can think of this as "trolling" or "funny" |
@BrodieOnLinux who says they are going to listen? They dont even listen to the direct feedback we give them continuously, and they think that "privacy" is compatible with their shitty telemetry installed by default in Firefox
@BrodieOnLinux
how the fuck is this supposed to work.
this is the worst part of the ai bullshit for me, as nobody ever has an explanation of how it should ever work (and given the nature of ai working based in biased data it always reinforces the problems and doesn't fix them in any way)
@BrodieOnLinux
Hopefully everybody demands them to stop AI&ads and focus only on lightweightness and privacy.
