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

The Call for Proposals for the 15th edition of @piwo Poznań Free Software Fest, a conference I'm somehow involved in, is open until Thursday (April 23th). If you're interested in sharing your perspective on topics such as digital independence, the legal aspects of FOSS, privacy software development or cybersecurity, consider submitting a talk (there's also a dedicated Python track this year). It's a great community, last year there were like 200 participants.

📆 The event's on May 30th (Saturday) at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań (western Poland).

➡️ Details and CfP link: https://piwo.sh/en/news/2026-03-24-call-for-proposals-is-now-open/

Boosts welcome!

EDIT: updated the deadline

"This Week in Plasma" brings the news that...

Per-Screen Virtual Desktops and Wayland Session Restore are coming to Plasma, Settings makes it easier to choose your default calendar (and the calendar widget makes it easier to access it), and adding apps to your Favorites in the app launcher becomes a breeze.

And much more.

@GrapheneOS It's great you're taking time to clear up factually incorrect claims, whether they're made out of maliciousness or naivety. Constructive community engagement is great!

But please, for the love of god, this information only belongs A) in the threads where factually incorrect claims are being made and B) on your website in the FAQ section.

I know it's not intuitive, but pushing conflict into everyone's face again and again makes your project seem *less* trustworthy, not more.

If you wanted to make high-impact fediverse software, I would recommend making a simple daemon that does the following:

- Consumes RSS/Atom feeds
- Posts them as subscribable feeds over activitypub
- So dead easy you can host it yourself as a simple daemon on your server
- Optionally: collects replies as a comment section with a way to render them inline, a-la disqus, with some simple moderation tools. Simplest way to reduce spam would be to make it approve-only to show up on the feed.

You could extend this to allow posting on other servers etc. But, in other words, let more people use the static site generator they already have

the birth of the internet?

RE: https://wikis.world/@legoktm/116365775366782119

Incredible, someone at Red Hat is apparently reading my toots and slowly scrubbing their website of references to their "compressing the kill cycle" project.

Here's the file they don't want you to read: https://web.archive.org/web/20260402155236/https://www.redhat.com/rhdc/managed-files/ve-compress-the-kill-cycle-detail-693397pr-202402-en_3.pdf

p.s. if you work at Red Hat and have inside info on what's going on, my Signal is "@legoktm.12345" - happy to protect you.

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@nathandyer/116353464692290660

Red Hat has since removed their war crime-supporting "Compress the kill cycle" marketing page from their website but left other references up, e.g. https://www.redhat.com/rhdc/managed-files/ve-compress-the-kill-cycle-detail-693397pr-202402-en_3.pdf (also saved on IA now)

A really good summary of what compressing the kill cycle means in practical terms was recently published in The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2026/mar/26/ai-got-the-blame-for-the-iran-school-bombing-the-truth-is-far-more-worrying

@swick @decathorpe I'm afraid I don't, but https://www.redhat.com/rhdc/managed-files/ve-compress-the-kill-cycle-detail-693397pr-202402-en_3.pdf is still up (and @legoktm saved it on IA just in case it "disappears" too)

TIL: VLC has a puzzle mode

Alt...

Screenshot of VLC showing the music video for "Consulting Fox" (rough translation) by "Akatsuki Records"; the video is split into 16 different puzzle pieces that can be re-arranged. The original song title is: 【東方ヴォーカルPV】こ～んさるたん！【暁Records公式】

Alt...

Later part of the same music video, but with all but 2 puzzle pieces placed in their correct place

Alt...

Screenshot of VLC settings annotated with arrows to show how to enable the puzzle mode. First you either click the "Show extended settings" icon (5th from the left) in the lower toolbar, or click "Tools" menu and select "Effects and Filters" there. In the window that opens select the "Video Effects" tab, "Geometry" section, and in there there's a checkbox in the lower right for enabling the puzzle game, and setting the grid size.

@DosFox because the internet was built by furries and queer folks?

I use #KOReader (https://koreader.rocks/) on my Kindle, and I like it far more than Kindle's native interface.
KOReader is also available on other platforms (e.g., Android, Linux) so you can try it there first!
It can even synchronise reading progress between devices, so I can resume reading on my tablet/phone. :)
(yes, I shill koreader. its awesome)

Tokodon has some problems here and there, but I'm not entirely sure if it's a snac/mastoAPI problem or just a Tokodon bug.

Regardless, I'm tired, too. I can definitely relate. guhhh... –_–
