@Jiji Ambush ankle predator!

Here I am jealously stealth-attacking my human as she checks on the tomatoes to see if any are ready to be harvested. I feel that I have to remind her that I am the main priority, and tough-love is sometimes what is needed to communicate that I need more cat treats.

Getting more stuff done.
Wood mulched pathways. I'll be adding bigger wood chips over all of this soon. Only so much that I can do alone, daily. I'm sowing more seeds, next.

@leah As a debian developer, this is correct. The results of this vote is shameful, even if some devs essentially voted for it as a "don't come to any decisions right now" option.

@DrChris It’s still really good, if you can even find one for sale anymore. But the Bravia 8 II is brighter, and the LG G6 is brighter still.

I’d get the Bravia 8 II if the extra brightness is not needed and if you don’t care about high-end gaming stuff like input lag and >120fps and HGIG.

However, in spite how the winning proposal tries to weasel around the issue, not rejecting AI is an endorsement for use in the distribution (as easily can be seen in the uncriticized use of AI to a) write the proposal, b) submit patches to the voting software and c) analyzing the vote results with a script.).

@elettrona @macfranc @eff @eticadigitale Io credo che semplicemente siano estremamente corrotti, oppure fanno cose a caso. Possibilmente dalle stesse Big Tech che sto cercando di lasciare.

Debian has voted to not reject use of AI for contributions to the distribution. I've seen people blaming the voting system, political centrism, or 'being tricked' by AI-written proposals to rectify this result. I will instead blame the voters, the Debian Developers themselves, for the outcome: There simply was no majority to reject genAI contributions, and likewise no interest in regulating it. >>

Indie App Spotlight: ‘Laytr’ is a one stop shop for logging everything you want to see later https://9to5mac.com/2026/08/29/indie-app-spotlight-laytr-is-a-one-stop-shop-for-logging-everything-you-want-to-find-later/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

Fifteen years ago, "Blockchain will replace DNS" was super annoying.

Fourteen years ago, it was noticed that blockchain variants are trivial to block on the wire with deep packet inspection.

DPI has improved markedly since that time.

Now because of A/I domains being seized, "blockchain will replace DNS" is popping up again.

tl;dr, No, it won't.

@david_chisnall
I'm waiting for the Viking chorus to come in.

The US is giving cash to non-violent black and brown immigrants to self-deport while increasing what it pays white South Africans to immigrate to the US.

They're not even trying to hide the racism any longer.
