"Freiheit ist immer Freiheit des anders Denkenden." - Rosa Luxemburg

Holy hell, the new #Halestorm album slaps.
Especially "Like A Woman Can", "Darkness Always Wins" and "Rain Your Blood On Me".

Definitely listening to that on repeat in the coming days.

Question for #electronics folks: When soldering, do you rip off a chunk or just pull the roll when handsoldering? I tend to do the former but sometimes I can't be bothered so pulling it is.

Hat irgendwer zufällig eine Ausgabe von Die Antiquiertheit des Menschen (Band 1) rumliegen, die er/sie/es nicht mehr braucht und mir schicken könnte? Gerne boosten.

As of a month ago I'm working at the Munich University of Applied Sciences. We have a super cool group https://aemy.cs.hm.edu/ working on open source EDA tools and more.

But there is a problem: we have lots of funding, but no-one to fill the positions 😱 So, if you want to come to Munich to do a PhD working on Open source chip design tooling in an amazing group, hit me up

DM or look at https://aemy.cs.hm.edu/open-positions/ for more info. I think we're also open to other ideas in the area if you have them :)

NixOS, uspol

So we now have DHH, Lunduke, Palmer Luckey (the Anduril guy), and Jon Ringer (Anduril employee and instigator) publicly chatting about taking over the NixOS project: https://xcancel.com/PalmerLuckey/status/1972037286192992320 - with at least one of the NixOS Steering Committee members being on Anduril's payroll. That's several wealthy and influential overt fascists.

I'm not sure how much more clear anyone can make it that NixOS has a fascist problem, that leadership is either failing or refusing to address (and the distinction between the two doesn't really matter anymore by this point).

Think very, very carefully whether this is a project that you want to put your limited time on this Earth into.

You're not going to 'fix' it; many went before you and failed. The broader userbase does not have shared values and continues to staunchly believe in it all somehow magically working out if we just do enough electoral 'democracy' LARPing. The leadership is unwilling to take more radical actions and eject the fascists. There is no path to a solution, no matter how hard you campaign.

Seriously. If you want something like NixOS, put your time into working with people who actually care about opposing fascism. Make a fork, make your own thing, whatever. Anything other than continuing to pour free labour and plausible deniability into the fascists' coffers.

#NixOS

@navi so much this. I get that they want to cater to 95% of users (with systemd), but leaving the door open never hurts. Moved already away from #GNOME 2 years ago; this just loses them users.

@FloraIncognita_DE schade, dann wird die nicht installiert.

@cmconseils so much this

@FloraIncognita_DE Gibt es Pläne die App zu opensourcen?

@mdione yeah basically

@mdione TIL, in German we have "Brotzeit" conveing the same

ngl, #GNOME Calender 49 looks really sleek, kudos to the devs.

"Do you think I reference dinosaurs too much when I write?" I asked.

She was silent, like the p in pterodactyl, but it said everything

@mntmn For now I have my config files in git too, but Chezmoi is able to restore even packages across machines while not being as heavy as ansible

The most radical act in tech isn’t building something new. It’s keeping the old ideals alive: that users should control their tools, not the other way around.

Linux admins when they have to use Windows: :/

Apparently this requires restating:
We should not want a European Palantir.
We should not want an open-source Palantir.
We should not want a non-commercial Palantir.

If it is supposed to do what Palantir does, we should not want it.

And I don't care to what extent Palantir's products are shaped by political or profit motives. We know enough to reject its logic altogether.
