@nextcloud great that you're encouraging sharing release notes on #mastodon but you can't just include a link to mastodon.social! You'll need to popup a prompt() to ask for the instance, or use a tool like mastodonshare.com/ (not vouching for this, just an example).



A worthwhile reminder:

1. An absence of new releases (or even of development activity) in a software project does not in and of itself tell us anything (bad) about a project. (Common fallacy: People rushing to declare a project "dead" based on arbitrary personal expectations around commit frequency, PR turnover time and such, when they in fact don't know a thing about the project's internal processes, goals, etc.)

2. Abundant releases (or frantic development activity) in a software project does not in and of itself tell you anything (good) about a project. (Common fallacy: newer = better, more = better, bigger = better, recent = better, "better" (according to them) = better (for me))

I know this may sound a little obvious and trite, but looking at the kind of culture all around, I think it's a good idea to regularly let that sink in (I'm writing this for myself as much as for anyone reading this ๐Ÿ˜€).

What do you mean you don't obsessively count the number of chocolates in a tub of Celebrations every year and put the results into an Excel spreadsheet!?

Anyway, the 2025 results are in:
Bounty x5
Galaxy x5
Galaxy Caramel x5
Maltesers x5
Mars x9
Milky Way x9
Snickers x9
Twix x7

The tub itself has gone down another 50g since 2024 (100g since 2023!)

Racial Slurs and Nazi Symbols: Inside the Complaint That Shut Down The Harvard Salient


When the Harvard Salientโ€™s board of directors suspended the conservative student magazine in late October, they accused its student members of publishing โ€œreprehensibleโ€ material and claimed they had received โ€œdeeply disturbing and credible complaints about the broader culture of the organization.โ€

yes, and the people going into it being paid knew *exactly* what they signed up for - so it's nothing close to most other uses, it's fancy text-to-speech
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

It's still enshittification and fundamentally undermining art though. The new 'market' to sell your physiological characteristics to companies for them to use isn't a good thing either.
Them asking and paying beforehand is the mere minimum, it only appears better than it is because the whole AI industry set the bar at "reckless (illegal) extortion" beforehand.

That's where my question came from.

in reply to It's FOSS

Already nixpkgs is there with 1.2 million packages and it works on NixOS, other distros and even Mac.

It's a cross platform, natively performance app unlike containerised flatpak or snap. Everyone should try nixpkgs. It even solves a lot of problems.
No need to learn nix or nixos for this, just u can use it as like any other package manager and much more.
