You are from a nearby parallel reality aren't you? 😯 Please keep posting images of what there, it's fascinating 🙂👍 @itsfoss@mastodon.social I was never a vim user, but I recognize many developers use it. Happy Birthday, Vim. congratulations to everyone who repeated "don't write your own crypto", you have inadvertently trained hundreds of chatbots to refuse a rather dangerous request @tef Now we just need to publish lots of posts that repeat "Don't program at all" in various phrasings. @tef When someone says something like this, I always think about what will happen when the original maintainers of the current cryptography libraries retire or die. *Someone* will have to maintain them, and with no skills to maintain crypto libraries, we might have problems.

@sjolsen the red one is for bookmarks. It saves the post for future reference. Not as useful on the fediverse, especially as it doesn't work like a "private like" like on Xitter, and there's way less drama here to pull them out for later. Russian roulette with a shotgun, Buckshot Roulette will add multiplayer on October 31 https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/10/russian-roulette-with-a-shotgun-buckshot-roulette-will-add-multiplayer-on-october-31/ @gamingonlinux This is why I have a non-smart TV and a Raspberry Pi running Kodi as my streaming box: #Privacy #FOSS #RaspberryPi #Kodi #SmartTV #Streaming #TV #Tech @reillypascal When we upgraded our TV four years ago I successfully found one of the last of Panasonic's FirefoxOS boxes; my research showed them to be considerably safer than the Android and custom OS options that are now prevalent. When that reaches end of life? I don't know. Hopefully there's a suitably sized monitor I can drive with a Raspberry Pi or similar. @reillypascal totally agree. Have been using kodi since the XBMC days on a chipped original xbox. My TV has smart features but has never been connected to Wi-Fi or Ethernet & all are disabled in menus. We do have an Apple TV 4k for our streaming requirements, but this sits firmly behind pihole & allows us to power up & stream if we must. A much better choice than the plethora of streaming platforms, terrible UI's and underpowered hardware. pls send help, I can't decide which package manager to use while building some docker container The rise of Mastodon has made me so much more aware of government services requiring us to use private companies’ systems to communicate with them and access services. Sitting on a Dutch train just now I was shown on a screen “feeling unsafe in the train? Contact us via WhatsApp”. What if I don’t use WhatsApp? (I do, but I wish I didn’t have to) I’m forced to share my data with Meta to use it. Public systems should not require use of private services.

@Brendanjones i still love the confused look on people’s faces when i say “… but i’m not on Facebook…” What is the alternative though? I mean for this specific "feeling unsafe in the train" case? When you need to reach wide audience and especially people who might be contacting you one and only time you have to use something popular already.

@davidculley browsers are so fucking shit that it's not enough to shit up the web anymore
something that buys other software cannot be free software, it's coprorate BS and it's evil. Mozilla turned into a monster a long ago. do people need more evidence to see?

@pfefferle I certainly don't trust Meta to have the best interests of the public in mind, and in light of recent events, I'm not sure I trust Automattic either. @pfefferle Pixelfed Push Notification Update: - Working flawlessly 😎

If there's any one part of OSS documentation that needs to be religiously updated, it's the build instructions. Otherwise would-be contributors will try to do their part, discover they can't even compile, and just go elsewhere |
@nillerusr this is because Dogma has been off streaming too long.
