Say "No!" to IoT cybernetics

Mycroft, one of the few (if not only) self-hostable and open source voice assistant projects out there, has been litigated almost to the ground by a patent troll, company Voice Tech Corp.

They've asked for new investment, but not donations. I think we can help, regardless!

Mycroft's published a story of Mycroft and patent trolls about 2 years ago. You can get the ebook for about $10.00. I encourage you to buy if you want to support the Mycroft project!

Please boost!

Upgrade from 20.04 to 22.04 for some folks at my job:

One couldn't boot (vg00 not found)

One managed to fly past 22.04 and upgraded to 22.10

Another can't connect to the WiFi at the office

And none of this was found in my testing πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

@brandon Not great. Reinstalls, or time for a new distro?

@brandon I have an Ubuntu dekstop/NAS that I brought forward from 18.10 through each upgrade cycle to to 21.10 without issue.

Then the upgrade to 22.04. GDM crashes, sound output randomly reverts to "Dummy Output", several packages are 'held back' every time I do software updates. It's a mess.

I just rebuilt an old PC to run Fedora desktop, and the NAS will be reverted to FreeBSD.

@Gargron Thank you for writing out the explanation of the idempotency header here: github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/

Would it be possible to formalize this explanation in the docs or at least link to the stripe link in the API docs?

Accessibility flaw with Mastodon web interface: You cannot post a toot with Right-Ctrl+Enter.

I know I made a joke-ish toot a few days ago about this but I realize that this would make it significantly harder for some folks to post toots.

@brandon Can't confirm, both CTRL buttons work exactly the same.
