This is the future the Tech CEOs want
@gabrielesvelto I'm kinda banking my immediate career on shit hitting the fan soon, within 6 months would be ideal, please.
Then I wouldn't have to go over another planning season and performance review on anxiety because more and more people are sounding insane and doubling down in the chatbot being the solution to any and all problems (that just need to be found), even though it was all already tried and failed in the last 6 months.
@tinsuke I'm betting my own career on things getting so much out of hand, and so few people having retained enough skills or sanity, that those who actually understand what's going on will be in high demand. For the time being it's proven to be the right bet.
I know I say this with literally every major release, but GNOME Web 51 is so much faster and so much more stable.
@nathandyer well, if Flathub ever approves my first ever Linux app, I’ll find out! I can’t wait!

Fuckers arresting the wrong people. Because fuckers.
@aral Is this the first disillusion/reality check with #Mamdani? IIRC he said he would have #Netanyahu arrested if he came to #NewYork.

YouTube refusing to show ads for the #Musk documentary is a very bad sign. Everybody thinks that when the TV networks and streamers bend the knee, FCC dissidents like Kimmel or Colbert can just put it up on YouTube. That's not going to last. Also YouTube is obviously going to be the last of the big video networks standing when the dust settles. Competition among the billionaires is a joke.
Y'all better start fighting to make #owncast and #peertube matter like yesterday.

@randahl i am sure that I don't want to see these videos also from you.
If you keep posting these I have to move you on the war list that I usually don't see.
@eWe have you accidentally disabled content warnings? The reason I added the CW was for you to be able to choose not to see it.

Me rolling up to the party
The tech oligarchs are rallying around Elon Musk to block a filmmaker from advertising a deeply reported documentary that lays bare what a slimy -- and dangerous -- person Musk is. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/digital/elon-musk-documentary-trailer-rejected-tiktok-youtube-1236710259/
(Meanwhile, Corporate Journalism continues to support him. Of course.)

@thegibson heck yes. I signed up for the waitlist. Gimme.
I cannot believe all this.
Working wifi under #9front on a Thinkpad x131e.
Only in about 389 """ easy """ steps:
1) Get a 9front-compatible WiFi card
2) Swap it out to realise this laptop has a BIOS whitelist
3) Get ANOTHER 9-front compatible WiFi card that should be on the whitelist
4) Realise this doesn't work either
5) spend weeks digging through the internet to realise I will have to do it myself
6) read Libreboot docs because it has great info on using SPI flashers
7) dig through ancient GitHub repos to find appropriate patches
8) Seek help from Masto hive-mind (mad propz to @bpl for talking me through the process and for putting up with message spam)
9) Order Pi Pico and clip
10) scour data sheets, tutorials, assemble programmer on breadboard
11) Realise certain tools will need Lunic
12) Install Lunico on old laptop
13) Uninstall distro that suxx and find another that suxx less
14) Lunic is terrifying, because what on earth is happening
15) compile a lot of strange software
16) take some deep breaths and attempt getting a read from the BIOS
17) physically hack out bits of plastic from the computer to allow access to chippage
18) read flash pleasantly surprised that it worked on second attempt
19) try patching only to get a nondescript "Error"
20) read sources, realise it is the "default error" and I will nevet know
21) Try running outdated Wimbo programmes to see if Wimbo is working when Lunic isn't
22) Givebup on Wine, also Wimbo
23) Realise Lenovo "engineers" glued the CMOS battery onto the SECOND BIOS chip
24) Get a readout of second BIOS chip (3x reads, comparing hashes)
25) Fail at it, try again at slower speed
26) Fail at it again, try again at slower slower speed
27) Get 3 consecutive and matching good reads
28) Try patching again, OMG IT WORKED
29) Flash it, with heart in throat
30) Nearly faint when it worked
31) Ignore loud beeping and RTC complaints
32) Boot 9front
33) Get appropriate firmware from OpenBSD and install in /lib/firmware
34) Rebuild kernel
35) Forget to copy over stuff to 9fat and rebuild the kernel again a few times scratching my head
36) Remember to copy stuff to 9far
37) Reboot and avoid collapsing once more when it loads the firmware
38) man wpa, run whatever is there
39) get over disbelief this actually worked
389) win
This is the way. Yeah!

@diegoe Wondering: how does the "GNOME as a community" crowd see the product aspect of GNOME? For the majority of *users*, GNOME definitely is a product, or even part of the product that is their Linux distro.
Would the GNOME community even continue to exist if there weren't this huge number of users of their product?

we are pleased to announce that we have internalized the key lessons of the breakout science fiction hit “torment nexus 3: okay you dumb fucks, if you ever build the torment nexus then you must destroy it and here’s how” and created the Indestructible Torment Nexus, which is resistant to all of the flaws that it enumerated in our product
