yet another reason to feel good about daily-driving @kde . they’re not gonna throw us under the bus :)

> With Google’s recent announcement that they will no longer be providing device trees for Pixel phones

There's no other Android OEM providing what Pixels provided prior to Android 16. It was never one of our hardware requirements and we've continued supporting Pixels without it. We've communicated that GrapheneOS development will continue, that existing Pixels will remain supported until end-of-life and that future Pixels will be supported if they meet the hardware requirements.

Imagine a stranger spreads lies about you. They tell everyone you're doing horrible stuff, the worst crimes imaginable. They make videos, articles, livestreams, all pushing the same lies designed to make everyone hate and fear you.

Would you "just block them"?

What happens when other people don't block them? When other people believe them, follow them, share their lies?

What if this turns into real life abuse? If someone attacks you or your family?

This is what vulnerable minorities face because of badly-moderated social media:

Konqi and Katie, the KDE dragons, are happily coding, creating the next generation of bleeding edge user-friendly free software. Konqi is sitting in a chair working on a laptop, while Katie is at a Keyboard + monitor integrated into a rack, also developing awesome new software

what’s your favoourite game? mine is Processing Vulkan shaders (2%)

Did I spend 90 minutes today adding random trips to my @viaduct_world account? Perhaps.

Will I get a cool #rail coverage map tomorrow? I surely hope so!

But this one is cool too.

A rail coverage map of Poland. It's a colorful web of railway lines marked on the contour of the country, with major cities marked. A large portion of the railway lines in the western part of the country is marked green (for visited), particularly thick webs around Poznań and Wrocław, becoming less dense further away from them. The green lines reach north into Gdynia, east into Elbląg and Mińsk Mazowiecki (both not labeled), southeast into Kraków, south to MIędzylesie and Racibórz (also not labeled), and west reaching near the German border in Zgorzelec, Kostrzyn and Świnoujście. The north- and southeasternmost part is uncovered at this time.

we don't want to waste a non-profit's resources [...]

Furthermore, according to https://sourcehut.org/pricing/

All users who host projects on sr.ht are expected to pay according to their means [...]

SourceHut is 100% open source. If you have your own infrastructure, you can run it yourself. Head over to installation docs to get started.

It's such a small gesture but it speaks volumes about the community and the love the developers put into it.

Terminal output produced by the fortune(6) programme upon login to the FreeBSD operating system. The text says: "You can delete a range of ZFS snapshots (a-z) in multiple ways. The following will delete d and all earlier snapshots: zfs destroy mypool/data@%d To delete d and all later snapshots: zfs destroy mypool/data@d% To delete all dataset snapshots: zfs destroy mypool/data@% Make sure to let ZFS perform a dry run (-n option) first and display (-v) what it would do to confirm that the delete operation is removing exactly what you intended. -- Benedict Reuschling <bcr@FreeBSD.org>," followed by the system prompt "`u@frost ~ %`." Huge thank you to Benedict for submitting these <3

Technically, there are alternatives like #Forgejo or #sourcehut, which tend to have most of GitH*b's features, but without the enshittification.

No idea if it'd be worthwhile to use them for Gentoo, though.
I've only used both for personal stuff, with the exception of hosting Forgejo for my group of friends.
I haven't been involved with Gentoo's infrastructure enough to tell :p

apparently a Polish Telegram group has just translated "enshittification" as "gównia pochyła" (as in "zsuwa się po gówni pochyłej") and I think that's beautifully vulgar

I have the—perhaps incorrect—impression that the Gentoo project depends on a lot of custom (an sometimes legacy) software, and is suffering from decisions made decades ago...
Well, that and the fact that some components of it are incredibly complex (sob Portage <3 sob).

But maybe I'm missing the point here... -c-

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

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.

@mgorny Kiedyś liczyłem, ile ma ten kubusiowy las w różnych językach. Po polsku jest zdecydowanie większy, niż po angielsku. Sto mil kwadratowych to prawie 26000 hektarów, a "hundred acre wood" to raptem 40 hektarów. Zupełnie inna bajka.
