Thanks to everyone who came to visit our stand at #fosdem . We showed off a couple of new devices this year like the PineVoice home assistant speaker and the new PineTime Pro prototype. A lot of the discussion topics we had at FOSDEM will make it into a new community blog post. Including what this year will look like considering DRAM prices.

We had a lot of fun meeting you all, safe travels everyone!

This guy named Ben Palmer made an "Immigration tip line" and people call it thinking he's ICE.

He records them and shares it with the world.

What do people sound like when reporting their neighbors, coworkers, students? Are they confident they are doing a righteous good thing?

Witness the banality of evil in these sheepish suburban voices.

This petition wants contributing to Free Software to be legally and officially recognized as volunteering in Germany on the same level as youth work or ambulance service:

openpetition.de/petition/onlinโ€ฆ

This would bring fiscal and funding advantages for FLOSS organizations and the volunteers themselves.

If you are a German citizen, please sign the petition and let's get our volunteers the recognition they deserve!

Firefox will get AI controls to turn it all off gamingonlinux.com/2026/02/fireโ€ฆ

US defaultism says "It's gotta be opt-out, 'cause it's our legal system that allows to us forcibly opt users in to something wastefull and invasive." Too little too late.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

who said it's really off once it's pressed. Also on the next update maybe it turns itself back on. It's why I don't use Firefox anymore and probably never will again I don't like anything with all this AI nonsense.




Ten of the Most Exciting Ways to Commemorate Americaโ€™s 250th This Year


This article is from Smithsonian Magazine. Actually some of the suggestions for celebrating the 250th anniversary of the signing of The Declaration of Independence could also make great protest events.

~ Community potlucks with people of all ethnic backgrounds.

~ My favorite: historical re-enactments. How about re-enacting everyone signing the Declaration! THAT would be awesome!

I'm quite sure many of the words of the Declaration of Independence would make great protest signs.

ja, solche Gedanken kommen mir auch manchmal, wenn ich Radiomenschen zuhรถre.

@Gargron @carusb @michaelrussell a good caution, though I've only had one instance of international travel where they been resistant to hand checking my film thankfully. It seems to be a much more US specific issue of being denied from everyone I've talked to about it.


Mozilla is adding a toggle to disable all generative "AI" features in Firefox. It shows that organized pushback is actually making a difference.

One battle won. Now let's make it crystal clear. We want tools, not forced LLMs. Keep the pressure on until "AI" is no longer an option.

as to cozzie lives, here's an interesting take from 2023
independentaustralia.net/politโ€ฆ

with the OECD recently saying we're doing alright, with back-to-back surplus, but could do better to rise above our previously average standard there's something going right. Basically, we got an elephant stamp and a note "could do better" but phew now a "see me after class" ;)

โš ๏ธ Password cannot contain that many special characters. I know you think it's a good idea to generate a 64 character string of random punctuation, but trust me: Four years from now, when you need to type this password in to your smart TV, you're gonna regret it.
in reply to Lynnesbian

mostly I have excellent random strings of letters, digits, and symbols, but there is one specific TV-centric account where the password had at one point degenerated to "fuckyou2!" after missing out on actually watching something by trying to enter it


did you know there's no limit to how many if let statements you can have in #rust? you can just keep adding more. nobody can stop you
#Rust
in reply to Lynnesbian

is there actually no limit or is it stupidly high, like java and its limit of 255 parameters to a function call?
in reply to Lynnesbian

fine... Give me a minute while I blow the top of this stack.
in reply to Lynnesbian

well ... that's rather silly ๐Ÿ˜

in reply to Lynnesbian

it just works ... prints out the loop_count of optional values.

Used random number generation to make sure the compiler wasn't making it vanish in a puff of logic

in reply to Lynnesbian

so it does crash rustc with a stack overflow if you set it to 65536 loops but that doesn't seem entirely unreasonable honestly.
