So I see #Nolto doing the rounds as a supposed #OS #LinkedIn alternative

Judging from the Codeberg issues [1] and the self-professed ignorance of the prompter about fundamentals of federation and software dev [2], it seems highly likely that Nolto is vibe-coded

Superficially feature-rich but lots of loose ends and basic errors, this is a privacy and security disaster waiting to happen — I would not touch this with a barge-pole 😬

🚀 Join the @dpgalliance at @fosdem for a roundtable on Universal Software Maturity Indicators and Government OS Readiness.

Come meet fellow #OS product owners, governments, and #DPG actors to explore how software maturity and public-sector capacity can support sustainable #FOSS adoption within #DPI, using maturity indicators to inform investment, procurement, and partnerships. Facilitated by Pelin Hizal Smines (DPGA Secretariat) and Cynthia Lo ( @GitHub) on Saturday!

Perseus was a distributed, message-passing operating system developed at the Computer Science department of Stanford University. It was designed to be portable "by virtue of its kernel-based structure and its Implementation in Pascal", as this Technical Report noted in 1983.

#zorinos : pourquoi cette #distribution #Linux explose depuis la fin de #windows 10 ?
Des millions d’utilisateurs délaissent #windows10 pour  #Zorin #OS. C’est une #alternative qui allie simplicité, familiarité et respect de la vie privée. Une migration qui transforme peu à peu Linux en choix évident pour tous ceux qui veulent reprendre le contrôle de leur PC.

50 ans plus tard, #Unix v4 ressuscité grâce à une bande magnétique.
C’est un fragment d’histoire des #systemedexploitation qui a été retrouvé et restauré : une bande magnétique contenant la version 4 d’Unix. Une bande retrouvée par hasard, dans un placard, désormais accessible à tous en ligne.
