Rare picture of the first laptop in the universe that booted Guix System, then GuixSD (there’s been so much intense hacking on it that it even lost some of its keys). I've extended the Libreboot 9020 clearance sale to November 25th; I'm spending the time to polish Libreboot for a new stable release around that time, November 25th. I'm Libreboot's founder and lead developer. Sales fund Libreboot. Libreboot (preinstalled) is free/opensource firmware replacing proprietary BIOS/UEFI. Your choice of Debian Linux, other distro or BSD. Libreboot 9020 price further reduced; was £218, then 138, now 118. New products to launch by the 25th. https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2024/oct/28/long-arm-russia-putin-critics-in-exile * Moscow is using ties with neighboring countries to deport and arrest anti-war Russians who fled after invasion of Ukraine.* Soon the fascist may help Putin do likewise to expat Russians in the US. @rms that's why the safest tactic for ru immigrants to stay quiet at social media. In Russia you can be jailed for 5-10 years for words, and jails are not as comfortable as they might be in Europe. US, EU people might think that ru citizens deserve their government, but it's not the case, majority of the people just want to be safe, because censorship went strong enough. Russia can literally get you in foreign countries, they will claim you as a terrorist for posting something online. Spring refuses to accept an MR done by Russian guy: https://www.opennet.ru/opennews/art.shtml?num=62200 I think it will happen much more often, I've seen it happening with Iranians and Chinese on github before. My overall recommendation, don't stick with only one vendor, use community-driven tools like gnu.org. Not sure that it is impossible to happen in gnuland, the thing is if the code is not attached to one specific company, you are probably fine. I hope GNU and Free Software in general has higher standards. 🗞️ How about October issue of RDE Monthly? The best monthly newsletter about Guix, Guile and RDE ecosystems. Events, Releases, Announces, Articles and Videos, everything from the last month collected in one place. Brought to you by Kirill Yermak and community. https://lists.sr.ht/~abcdw/rde-monthly/%3C1508178682.101767.1730657300206@office.mailbox.org%3E An In-Depth Exploration of GCC The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) is a set of compilers developed by the GNU Project for various programming languages. Initially released in 1987, GCC has become one of the most widely used and influential compilers due to its open-source nature, portability, and ability to compile code for a broad range of programming languages.

While I hate government regulations I kinda glad that these blocks can lead people towards unblockable means of communication. Of course all of them are free software. At least try XMPP, Jami, Tox or something like that. If you play games there are Teamspeak and Mumble. Sadly I myself is still present in Telegram and it is hard to leave some things because your friends, family and so on use that. The bright side is that Telegram has API and emacs client at least.

The ad industry spoiled TV and radio experience. The ad industry spoiled the Internet experience. The ad industry must disappear. @jrballesteros05 ad thing in general is kind of a information violence, because you've being pushed by information you didn't asked, so it is done by force mostly all the time. I haven't seen anyone who willingly would watch or read ads. https://www.fsf.org/bulletin/2024/spring/interview-with-dragora-developer-matias-fonzo I like GNU Dragora potentially more than Parabola / Hyperbola / Trisquel solely because it feels that Dragora is more original distro that are not just forked from some popular proprietary distribution.  |
@janneke @fsf @nlnet why is there an ext4 partition, if Hurd only supports ext2?
