Classic partisan film Red Dawn (1984) really oversold what americans do when their town is invaded by troops.

Are you allergic to LaTeX? This pharmacy I'm at has this allergy warning.

A laminated A4 poster with the title "Do YOU have an ALLERGY?" with three icons, but the icon for latex is the logo for LaTeX the typesetting tool.

@Ganneff @mirabilos It's on my todo list to reimplement a basic salsa CI in woodpecker (what forgejo uses). If we had that, migration would still be a hassle, but possible. I also suspect we'd have more resources for CI, as forgejo consumes less resources than GitLab.

@mirabilos I proposed forgejo to have a libre git forge some time ago on - devel. Would strongly prefer that over GitLab (which is dependent on JS)

@grillchen hehe, die auch

Wer hat uns verraten?

@grillchen @arh @prettygood well, they might've had a personal gripe then. We also have rules to revoke a devs rights, but that is pretty much the last resort and only happens if people are stubborn and refuse to apologize.

@grillchen @arh @prettygood we do have an MIA Team, and if devs go AWOL for a longer time, their keys are revoked. IMO sane reasoning

@gagath fwiw the wiki on porterboxes was pretty helpful for me, can also sent you my notes on it

[Boosts appreciated] Statement on Frameworks sponsoring of certain FOSS maintainers/projects

I paid a fuckton of money for my @frameworkcomputer laptop parts. I paid extra for the parts I could've saved money on elsewhere because I wanted to support the company and what they stand for. I even ported Debian to the RISC-V Motherboard for the product that made Framework Framework: The Framework 13.

Now Framework decided to sponsor Omarchy and Hyprland, the leaderships of which are not just "politically of a different opinion", they are actively toxic, hostile and highly discriminatory, to phrase it euphemistically.

Nirav Patel responded to this in the community forum, essentially doubling down on the decision to take a "big tent approach".

I want to reiterate: __This isn't about "political differences", because the political difference are actively harmful to democracy itself, and the physical safety of marginalised communities.

Someone I supported in good faith with both code and money turned around and gave this money to multiple people who'd rather see me dead for existing.

Needless to say, I feel quite betrayed and I'm really torn on wether or not I should even continue and proceed with the port for the second RISC-V mainboard, because I don't want to end up supporting the hate towards me, my wife or other people in the same situation as me.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels betrayed by this decision.

Qualcomm owns Arduino, Hackaday is owned by Siemens

My teenage electronics hobby landscape is now owned by the companies that would never supply datasheets to me back then

Looking good guys

A tilted, earthquake-damaged building is being propped up by several wooden beams. The building is labeled “NVIDIA” in large bold letters, and each of the support beams is also labeled “NVIDIA.” The image humorously implies that NVIDIA’s massive success is being held up by itself alone, suggesting circular hype or self-reinforcing momentum.

Meinen Studis habe ich letztes Semester ihre schriftliche Arbeit über Datenflüsse in Zyklus-Apps gegeben. Hier auch nochmal: Es gibt weltweit 2 (in Worten: ZWEI) .s, die eure Daten nicht an Werbenetzwerke und/oder Regierungen weitergeben. und sind nicht darunter. Eine App verwenden zu wollen ist okay. Aber bitte nehmt oder , die haben keine Tracker und speichern eure Daten lokal auf eurem Gerät.

Sehr schöne Nachrichten!

Es würde mich freuen, wenn Die Linke es schaffen könnte, etwas Feuer unter den Hintern der Koalition zu zünden in der Frage der IT-Sicherheit Gesetzeslage. Das "Modern Solutions" Urteil passt zwar zur aktuellen Gesetzeslage, ist aber kompletter Schwachsinn.

Die Industrie schreit nach Cybersecurity-Experten, und wir versuchen an die Hochschulen zu tun, was wir können. Aber mit §202a-c und §303a-b StGB in Kraft kann man legal nicht üben, wie man vorgehen kann und kann auch "responsible disclosure" kaum legal machen (es sei denn, die Firmen freuen sich über diesen kostenlosen Beitrag zur Sicherheit). Wäre das nicht ein Thema für den Herbst?

'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Mastodon, is in fact, GNU/Mastodon, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Mastodon. Mastodon is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

@ada @maxi

I am sorry that you have to stand corrected, but the right term to use here is GNU/fediverse plus mastodon.

@maxi or as I've recently taken to calling it, Fediverse plus Mastodon

I just removed the shell from my system and switched back to . Tried fish for the last 5 months. It *is* a nice shell with a load of sane and useful defaults. Still, my config.fish and conf.d/* files had 277 lines of customisation, so some adjustments had been needed for what I want (Only about 55 abbreviations). (Sure much less than any other shell before they got real good).

But the deal-breaker which makes fish unusable as a daily driver for me is - the syntax it uses is different enough to other shells (, ) that it is unusable. I can *not* adjust the shell of all the accounts I do have to access, many of which are shared role accounts. So always having to remember if I can write a simple `for foo in bar baz; do echo $foo; end` or if it suddenly goes without "the second starting word" and ends in end instead is not good. (And I use such things a lot on commandline directly).

So, nice shell, but inability to be a replacement for bash/zsh makes it unusable as a daily driver.
