#neuhier und ein bisschen wie Twitter ganz früher:
Hier werden neue Follower noch per Handschlag begrüßt 😄:
Es freut uns, liebe(r) @bjoernsta , @tobias_heisig , @awosachsen , @SabineTerwelp !
And my CI now uses pgpgpg to tangle out NSoE's code from the Org Roam sources. Tests still pass.
I wonder how big the diff is between emacs-tangled and pgpgpg-tangled NSoE...
Pretty big, but I'm not seeing any functional differences.
i made this
@TechConnectify This year I bought a new 2025 Opel Corsa Hybrid, with eDTC transmission. Looks to be quite an interesting technology as well.
@david_chisnall @mkljczk @mariusor it is AI though, big llms corpos don't get to be the ones defining what AI is
'AI' isn't a technology. AI is a marketing term. Marketing departments get to decide what they call 'AI'. Mozilla's marketing department decided that they wanted to jump on the hype train.
These days, it's (according to Gartner) mostly a negative-value marketing term: people are more likely to avoid a thing advertised as being 'AI' than actively choose it.
Mozilla had a choice to call these 'efficient on-device translation', or 'AI translation'. They chose the latter. That's not a technology choice, that's a marketing choice. And it gave a load of tech bros the opportunity to say 'look, AI is useful!' and use it as an example when justifying things that are completely different uses of machine learning.
Spent too long figuring out yes, I can replace my existing Debian server setup with FreeBSD *and* also figuring out that wanting to replace systemd because it’s too big a blob of responsibilities, with an OS that has the kernel & most of userland all in the one big blob… is kind of nuts.
Other hot takes: ZFS’s good. Jails are interesting. The BSD license is stupid, & I like having the kernel, init, build system, utils, & everything else made by different people.
Which is where I started. 🤷

@perhammer Thank you for yours! I will add your domain tomorrow at UTC midnight.
If you are up for offering other domains to the cause, that is very kind and good. I'll surely take them. And yes, exactly the same records.
I may spin up servers under other IPs in future, and spread the donated domains across them. For now, given the insane volume of traffic, there's evidently no need.

Wie verhindern die mächtigsten Unternehmen der Welt eigentlich Regulierung und digitale Souveränität in Deutschland?
@digitalrechte visualisiert mit der Lobbylandkarte den Einfluss von Big Tech in Deutschland.
@markus_netzpolitik @digitalrechte sehr interessant, danke!
Beware enterprise outfits bearing gifts. Pipewire, systemd. $ for your foundation. Network code from Netflix.
Sooner or later you get to mix in the metaphor of the guy who pays the piper calling the tune. We need age verification now, so, so do you. We need AI now, so, so do you. We need fascism now, so, so do you.
I don’t know how exposed FreeBSD is compared to the Linux distros that fell for systemd, but it seems the most exposed of the BSDs.
Be careful which lifeboat you pick, I guess.
My ebooks and audiobooks (from FSGxMCD, Tor Books, Head of Zeus, McSweeneys, Beacon, Verso and others) are for sale all over the net, but I sell 'em too, and when you buy 'em from me, I earn twice as much and you get books with no DRM and no license "agreements."
