@💜 🩷 Iconoclast Beryl 🩷 💜 Yes I realize that, then you're left with whatever autonomy you can get and even navigating a crowd given the autonomy can be a challenge, so narrowing the input immediately can be the first recourse, hence earplugs.

that doesn't actually address the problem at all. It would only make things more difficult at best.

★ The iOS 26 Adoption Rate Is Not Bizarrely Low Compared to Previous Years
daringfireball.net/2026/01/ios…
in reply to Daring Fireball

Anecdotally, my parents are holding off on upgrading their devices to 26 because they don’t like how it looks and how much laggier it is.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron Three of my four kids have upgraded to 26 and they hate it. Laggy and goes through a battery way faster than 18. So now they all want new iPhones....
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron same here. Must say the way Apple is pressuring to update is insane. I was on iOS 17 a year ago with little grief to update but this time round, even myself, I’m having to be super careful what I press. Constant notifications on daily basis to update as well. One fam iPad has updated that they didn’t want to. Best of all is this patch, which Apple imo has intentionally avoided providing to iOS 26 supported iPhones - mastodon.world/@InterfaceEngin…


I am taking down the paywall for this one, as I believe it remains relevant as a reflection on the limits of the authoritarian assault – and the need to push back against the idea that America is inevitably and irresistibly marching towards a Trump dictatorship.

This week’s piece:

steady.page/en/democracyameric…

in reply to Thomas Zimmer

The idea that protests and public opinion are meaningless in the face of the Trumpist assault, that authoritarian regimes are impervious to public pressure, is still widespread.

But it is wrong. And it perpetuates the regime's assertion of inevitability.



traditional mathematical proofs can be hard to reason about. i propose a new method of proof: proof by compiler optimisation.

consider this proof that n * 1 = n and n ^ 0 = 1 for all reasonable values of n.

in reply to Lynnesbian

I first thought the ^ was a xor (and that there was a typo...)

Well, this is a fascinating rant.

MAGA liking ST is like other right-wingers liking punk rock and then suddenly getting upset ("Never again will I buy their music or go to their concerts!") when a band speaks out against racism - while their songs have done so for a long time. It's like they're very superficial and don't care for actual substance.


Linux freedom is great, unless you hate freedom.

Am I still free while working so long for Enterprise Linux EL datacenter ? Are classic EL distributors already supressing big techs ? Do I supress colleages by delivering EL to them ?
in reply to It's FOSS

I don't agree with point 4, in Windows you can install anything, Linux has a lot of stores, packages, some of them hated by their own comunity. Recently, as a Linux beginner I struggled to install something that was not in the default app store. This needs to get fixed, so more people can enjoy Linux properly, not everybody has the time and the willingness to fight issues like this.

Get some Sid Meier greats like Civilization VI in a big Humble Bundle gamingonlinux.com/2026/01/get-…

#Civilization #SidMeier #GameBundle #PCGaming

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

Just don't play Civ IV or V at resolutions above 1080p. 4k on a 32" monitor leaves the UI tiny and pretty much unreadable. VI is absolutely fine, thankfully.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

Civ is one of those games that appeals to me, but the actual experience of playing it leaves me cold.

Bit like the Football Manager series.

There are quite a few games one can easily play on #steamdeck without verification.

Like the BATMAN Arkham games. They run perfectly on my deck.

Sometimes it is hit and miss, though ...




These Linux distros impressed us last year.

And you chose to put Omarchy on one, a shitty little distro that's held together by shoestrings and duct tape (see https://マリウス.com/a-word-on-omarchy/) and is made by a vile bigot?

With talismans in Demon Tides you can customize your entire moveset!

The paraglider talisman carries your current momentum forward which can be REALLY powerful when combined with moves like your snake jump!

They bribed officials to give them political permission.
But that can easily slip away if the wrath of the populace tips over.

So you'd think but when in the last 30 years has the political class given a single fuck what the peasants have to say?

Unboxed my #Plushtodon Mastodon plushies this morning. Their larger sibling is at home as it shipped last week. These two had to hop the pond and be signed for at the post office this morning.

My review: 15/10 ⭐️
They are so soft, squishy and best of all no odd smell. Plushies sometimes smell and need to be aired out. Wherever/however these are manufactured, they are scent free which added the extra 5 ⭐️

Not pictured are two awesome sticker sheets from #Mastodon #MastodonMerch




We made good progress on automated hardware testing in postmarketOS, resulting in being able to run pmaports changes on a real OP6T! Thanks to everybody who donated to postmarketOS or contributed their time to make this possible! ❤️

I learned of #VanishingTwin and the Choose Your Own Adventure album just last week, when an online stream DJ played a song.

@jodi My professional colleagues and I have found AI to be incredibly useful in very specific, very narrow instances to get stuff that actually adds value to the company done. C level sycophants who talk shit and exploit us laborers so they can brag to their peers and get government contracts to enrich thier wealthy masters will not succeed.
