"I told you to bring Christmas wine! NOT Christmas SWINE!"
(personally, I would rather have the pig!)








Kim Kyung-Hoon took this photo of a press conference by the CEOs of Nissan, Honda and Mitsubishi, and accidentally created the perfect album cover.

So while I was out gathering the Christmas dinner, my husband messed around with some leftover gingerbread dough.



Finally got my Mastodon #Plushtodon in to help support Mastodon. I moved Detective Pikachu to the other side of my desk to fit him in.


If you're curious how #Mastodon is doing by the numbers, the 2023 Annual Report is finally here. How large is our budget, and where does it go? Who works on Mastodon? For all of this and more, we've got an answer--at least as far as 2023 goes.

2023?

It's almost 2025 where I am

How about where you are?

And where does the money come from?

It was called Misskey Room and looks like it was removed in version 12.102.0.

Wondering if Raspberry Pi's SD card is worth it?

itsfoss.com/raspberry-pi-sd-ca…

in reply to It's FOSS

It's definitely worth it. In my circumstances the only card that works reliably.
in reply to It's FOSS

Just get a High Endurance card of your own,
from whatever trustworthy-brand you can,
& put the image on it, yourself?

The high-endurance's required, as the amount of file-writes that Linux does .. is not "conservative",
when it's got one's home-directory on it, eh?
( or anything like frequent writes )

Poor Pete! Mauled by a Suzhousaurus!



‘Tis the season to remember that all of Santa’s reindeer are female.

You see, males drop their antlers after the Autumn mating season, so since the world’s most celebrated reindeer are always depicted with spectacular antlers, we must assume that Ol’ Saint Nick’s entire intrepid team - including Rudolph - are female. #science #Christmas

Latest comic: How to get in the holiday spirit

I don't actually recommend slipping into unconsciousness for the next twelve years! Personally, I'm reading and trying to get around to that pie.

in reply to Jen Sorensen

I love this quote by Frankl. “Freedom, however, is not the last word. Freedom is only part of the story and half of the truth. Freedom is but the negative aspect of the whole phenomenon whose positive aspect is responsibleness. In fact, freedom is in danger of degenerating into mere arbitrariness unless it is lived in terms of responsibleness. That is why I recommend that the Statue of Liberty on the East Coast be supplemented by a Statue of Responsibility on the West Coast.”



Spotify, shit as it is, is just one of many streaming music providers. There are no switching costs, and you can choose between a ton of providers. That's why Spotify doesn't need to be regulated under the DMA.

I swear to god people are allergic to basic facts and reality these days.

in reply to Hiker

@hiker This is very frustrating. Tidal is not on the chart. Therefore Tidal is under "Other". To be grouped under "Other", something must have less market share than the smallest item on the chart, which is Yandex.

Which ones do you miss the most? 🤔

#linux

in reply to It's FOSS

None. I mean, most discotinued distros failed for good reasons. Many were just Ubuntu with minimal changes.

That said, I always loved Mandrake's logo (but I never understood why we needed another RPM distro besides Suse and RedHat).
I also was shocked when IBM / RedHat killed CentOS. But with AlmaLinux we got an awesome replacement.

@ksaj You got us worried for a tiny bit there. :pika:


Simplify your online experience on Linux with AI-powered browsers:

in reply to It's FOSS

I don't have a problem with AI in a web browser if it's summaries and fetching relevant information/sources. Putting image generators and voice commands and chatbots that talk like they are human is where I draw the line.


The top Linux apps of 2024. 📝 👇

in reply to It's FOSS

here are some more I'd like to add:
- GNU Emacs
- GNOME Boxes
- KDE Connect
- Syncthing

These are some applications I've delved deep into in 2024



Wired: Apps finally give up on making unfunny April Fools jokes each year.

Tired: Every app now has a Spotify Wrapped style feature even if it isn’t a music app.
