Every now and again I get asked why I use Gentoo, and I usually say that it's the perfect OS for me, or that does what I want it to do. (Though, sometimes I go on rambling for hours... )
I think that this article conveys the point of Gentoo really well ( much better than I do :p ), so if you're curious, give it a read!

Huge thank you to the Gentoo community for their exceptional work

I stand corrected. IPv6 is actually useful for something.

I've nearly finished the build video for this thing.

According to Wikipedia, "The term 4K is generic and refers to any resolution with a horizontal pixel count of approximately 4,000" which means this is literally a 4K mechanical TV.

(It's also literally 20p, but that's not how marketing works).

🍪🚫 It's time to kill the cookie banner – and end the endless tracking circus!

⏮️ You may think that EU privacy law requires cookie banners. But the law is clear: online tracking is prohibited by default.

👋⚖️ Therefore, the tracking industry needs you to waive your rights. That’s why they invented cookie banners, which often are deliberately misleading as well as annoying.

A layered image of several buildings. The closest one is made of brick, more traditional, an office maybe. The one behind is a more modern block living situation made of red ripped outset windows. They all face away from the building at maybe sixty degrees. Above a blue block of glass fills where the sky should be. More apartments maybe, or offices

I am looking for a work in IT, preferably as a software engineer (pref python/c++)/data scientist/data engineer/data analyst, but I can learn a lot of things on the fly and I'm not picky.
I have a bachelor's degree in compsci from uni of warsaw, two internships at google and two jobs (<1yr each) with data and ML. I can provide CV if you're interested.
EDIT: I'm based in Warsaw, and comfortable with working remote or in-office!

I give you "The Epic Gnome ❤️ KDE Handshake".

This is probably the silliest thing I ever commissioned, send some love to @trans_lykanthropie for drawing this.

This is free for any personal use and for commercial use related to both Gnome and KDE depicting neither overtly negatively as long as the artist is mentioned.

DO NOT BUY LG.

Not ANYTHING LG.

Not only are they actively spying on you, not only have they updated their TOS to include requiring you to NOTIFY GUESTS ABOUT WIRETAPPING LAW, on Windows they're pushing ADWARE through WINDOWS UPDATE along with their monitor drivers - including on OLD monitors.

Gamers Nexus has all the deets:

DO NOT BUY LG PRODUCTS.

GN had a three-year-old monitor get an "update" that was adware. It wasn't even part of their investigation. It just happened to come in while they were investigating.

Today is a special day! It is the BSD Cafe's birthday!

Exactly three years ago today, I was rather timidly announcing this project to the world. It was an idea that had already been in my mind for some time, but had not yet become reality.

Three years later, I am proud to say that the BSD Cafe is sailing at full speed towards the uncertain horizons of the modern world.

We are here to talk about BSD, Open Source, projects, conferences, freedom, pizza and tiramisu, but above all about passions, interests, discoveries and knowledge. We are here among friends who share interests and passions, without geography or borders, apart from those defined by mutual respect.

Your Barista is more energised than ever.

During the past year, he had to retire one of the services, BlendIT, our Lemmy instance, but he also added several new ones: Journal, based on WordPress, Billboard, running on NodeBB, the Delta Chat relay, and more.

He also had to withdraw from BSDCan, with enormous regret, but he is now ready for EuroBSDCon. And for other new things that will gradually follow.

For example, here is a small preview: I have been experimenting with MeshCore.

My dream? One or more BSD Cafe services that do not use the Internet at all. I already have a few ideas, so I shall not disclose anything more for now 😉

And I will never grow tired of repeating that the BSD Cafe is a success because of you.

I am just the Barista, but a place like this is nothing without the friends sitting at the bar. And the friends of this bar are wonderful people who, every day, help make my days calmer, happier and more interesting.

So thank you for these three years, and thank you for being here.

We shall continue sailing together towards the future, with smiles on our faces and passion in our hearts.

It is a post about making animations by abusing progressive JPEGs (and, I guess, web servers that send the image frame by frame with the right delays)

If a human uses a program to open a file and the opening of the file fails, how should the error message be phrased? I'd like to avoid anthropomorphizing the computer, or being cute. I reject "I can't open file" as it makes computer seem like a person. I don't think "failed to open file" is much better.

Suggestions?

I think that writing games in real programming languages like Rust should be illegal. we must mandate every game be written in sloppy languages like JavaScript and C#. we need exceptions to be implicit and everything is nullable. the possibility of type confusion is desirable. weird bullshit cryptic bugs are part of the peak gaming experience. we need stuff to break randomly, for no good reason, in exploitable ways. both to entertain casual players, fascinate hardcore technical players, and keep speedruns competitive for years to come as they discover wild new exploits. in single player games (no netcode), you can even sprinkle in some memory unsafety. not a lot; you do NOT want to trigger SIGSEGV for a casual player, but it will open up a whole new realm of binary exploitation in tool-assisted speedruns.
