@werdahias yeah I thought I’d wrap up the updates of some python packages but it looks like some packages that I’m updating are broken to the core. Had to get DPT involved to fix it. >_<

Two things can be, and in fact are, both true:

• AI is unethical whether it works or not.
• AI doesn't work.

@werdahias I think the only debian work I got done in the last few days was MiniDebConf Kanpur work - logo, poster, wiki etc. Way too fatigued these days to get much work done.

@rose_alibi yeah it’s incredibly hard to find anything old or vintage here as people didn’t have any sort of disposable income back then. Any rare stuff usually electronics ends up in CeX but like I said no iPods or 3DS either

@rose_alibi one thing I dislike not being born in the West is the lack of vintage or old hardware. It's incredibly rare to find old tech here in India. I've been searching for an iPod Classic for a while but can't find anything. Heck, cant even find a 3DS or DS

Can we stop calling the Venezuelan leader "authoritarian" and a "dictator"

It's clear which country is harbouring the authoritarian dictator here

@yesjohn the pain

Softwarewolf faoluin@chitter.xyz

I'm really tired of hearing terms like "digital detox".

We don't need to "detox" from digital. We need to wrest control of digital away from the capitalist oligarchs who have corrupted it into a torment nexus.

@contrapunctus @contrapunctus I wouldn’t be surprised if these people are voted back into power again in the next elections. Hate sells very well.

Wrote a blog post today about how some folks on Instagram made people all over the city/country buy grapes to the point that there are no grapes in the market. Goes to show how dangerous proprietary social media is.

On the top left, there is a bird with Debain swirl logo coming out of its mouth. Besides the bird "MiniDebConf Kanpur 2026" is written. In the center of poster, "MiniDebConf is coming to" is written followed by "Kanpur Central railway station board". Below that, the text says "March 14-15 2026 IIT Kanpur". In the background, a building can be seen with sky and clouds on the top and green trees on the right. In the bottom right corner is the Debian India logo with IIT Kanpur logo.

My New Year Eve’s plan: Just sleep properly lol

@Sanat just block them. That’s the only way to stop it

@libreinator @praveen not very close to Delhi but it’s near Lucknow. All of us will be there so as long as you’re within the IITK campus premises and don’t wander off alone you should be fine. As for pollution it’s in march so I guess things will settle down a bit. The event was delayed intentionally to march keeping the weather in mind iirc
