@anarchiv ah, nice. As a book-lover that likes to work with his hands I'd be really interested in learning it

@anarchiv got resources on how to get into bookbinding?

It’s hard to communicate sometimes just how legacy and niche the concept of a desktop workstation has become. The idea of sitting down at a dedicated space to do computer things is outdated. If we—desktop Linux I mean—are building solely for that experience we’ll die out. If you’re not building towards notebook, tablet, and mobile workflows you’re building for the past

How will these small groups of happier people be monetized?
This is a tough question for the billionaires. Happy people, the kind who eat sandwiches together, are boring. They don't buy much. Their smartphones are six versions behind and have badly cracked screens. They fix bicycles, then they talk about bicycles, then they show their friend, who just came over for no reason, how they fixed their bicycle, and the friend says, "Wow, good job." Then they make tea. That doesn't seem like enough to build a town square on.

The latest #GTK #Rust bindings (0.10) are now in #Debian testing, after a month of work and aligning packages. This comes with glycin 2.0-rc, loupe 49-rc and snapshot 49-rc.
Wrote four patches which were forwarded to port applications such as Shortwave to the new version.

youth of the apocalypse

God says to an angel: "it is time, sound the trumpets of the apocalypse!"

angel: "ok boss!"

the angel plays the trumpet. the noise annoys the human people.

a rock hits the angel's forehead. it stops playing the trumpet.

the people shout at the angel: "SHUT UP ANNOYING CUNT"

Found my #GNU MAD stickers again

Check your backups, go remove the batteries from stored electronics, go contact that someone you’ve been thinking of lately and go chase up that weird thing your body has been doing lately.

From Professor Stacey Patton:

I am on Charlie Kirk’s hit list.

His so-called “Professor Watchlist,” run under the umbrella of Turning Point USA, is nothing more than a digital hit list for academics who dare to speak truth to power. I landed there in 2024 after writing commentary that inflamed the MAGA faithful. And once my name went up, the harassment machine roared to life.

For weeks, my inbox and voicemail were deluged. Mostly white men spat venom through the phone: “bitch,” “c*nt,” “n****r.” They threatened all manner of violence.

They overwhelmed the university’s PR lines and the president’s office with calls demanding that I be fired. The flood was so relentless that the head of campus security reached out to offer me an escort, because they feared one of these keyboard soldiers might step out of his basement and come do me harm.

And I am not unique.

Kirk’s Watchlist has terrorized legions of professors across this country. Women, Black faculty, queer scholars, basically anyone who challenged white supremacy, gun culture, or Christian nationalism suddenly found themselves targets of coordinated abuse.

Some received death threats. Some had their jobs threatened. Some left academia entirely. Kirk sent the loud message to us: speak the truth, and we will unleash the mob!

That is the culture of violence Charlie Kirk built. He normalized violence. He curated it, monetized it, and sicced it on anyone who dared to puncture his movement’s lies.

And now, in the wake of his shooting, there’s all this national outpouring of mourning, moments of silence, yellow prayer hands, and tributes painting him as a civil debater. But the truth is that Kirk and his foot soldiers spent years terrorizing educators, trying to silence us with harassment and fear!

And now the same violence he unleashed on others has come full circle.

But what i find especially jarring is the dissonance in public mourning for a smug white man whose life work was actively hostile to certain groups. Kirk spent years demonizing LGBTQ people, mocking gun survivors, spewing racism about Black folks, and pushing policies that literally shorten lives.

It is so revolting to watch a bipartisan wave of grief sweep over this hateful racist as if he was a neutral community servant.
