Fedora Linux Embraces "Privacy Preserving" Telemetry #Linux #YouTube youtube.com/watch?v=1wceVrir2P…
in reply to Brodie Robertson

Definitely gonna clown on my fedora-using friend now lol

In all seriousness, at least it would be opt-out so even though I too am hard against telemetry, as long as there is a choice to opt out in any software I use, then I don't really have reason to complain.

Plus, at least they're self aware unlike a certain set of our favourite tech giants.

in reply to RogueSensei

@roguesensei Opt-out is the bare minimum expected, if it wasn't opt-out it would be fair to call it spyware no questions asked.
in reply to Brodie Robertson

just flipped from Fedora Silverblue to OpenSuSE Aeon because of how RedHat did the home server community dirty, but this just adds insult to injury.

And what a sad day it is. Fedora has been in the vanguard for developing technology specifically catered to the Linux desktop. We're talking PipeWire, their contribution to Flatpak, pushing and developing Wayland, etc.

They were the heroes we needed, now that I can't recommend Ubuntu or Fedora, what can I recommend?




Headed to the launchpad in style.

The vehicles that will bring the #Artemis II astronauts to Launch Complex 39B have arrived to @NASAKennedy. Just before they launch to the Moon, the crew will ride aboard these fully-electric, zero-emission vehicles: go.nasa.gov/3NMHdWW

Well, it's nice that _somebody_ is able to get their hands on these Canoo vehicles!

does the driver just switch the steering wheel to the opposite end after drop-off, and kick into what was formerly reverse? No more pesky turning around! Brilliant!

Have you ever found an old book and blown the dust off to see what story it might have to tell? That’s pretty much what I’m doing here. I came upon an interesting boulder, hit it with a puff of compressed air, and am taking a closer look. I’ll see if I can get a peek inside, too.

New music

Saw such a great set from the Halluci Nation yesterday. It was so perfectly paced with huge #drops and wonderful plateaus. The audience was #DANCING!

Switching gears: The Linda Lindas sing about youth and I feel they are positioned well to comment on it. Their sound is a real throw-back for me.

It's my first #PortfolioDay AH!

Hi, I'm John and I'm a new-ish digital artist. I usually draw cute small characters (humans or animals) or portraits of big boys (bara art). I like using bright neons or pastels in my art.

It's Amazon's annual Prime Day sale and I've pulled out some of the best deals on stuff that I actually use or am coveting, including AirPods, air purifiers, Kindles, and the M1 Macbook Air. kottke.org/23/07/its-random-mi…

We have one of those AeroGardens and I'm actually amazed how well it works! Its great fun for the kids to watch the plants grow, and cool that everything is at eye height. The herb harvest is (as is also true with a regular garden) a bit less than you hope. Our 2nd sprouting was flowers and they have been going strong for several months. It's a bit "razors and blades" because you need to keep buying seed pods, but honestly each one lasts for month(s) so it's not really that bad.


We're getting ready to mark the first year of spectacular discoveries from @NASAWebb. The space telescope has transformed the way we see the universe.

This is aerospace engineer John C. Houbolt, the leading proponent of the lunar orbit rendezvous (LOR) plan (chosen #OTD in 1962) which made possible John F. Kennedy's goal of sending astronauts to the Moon and bringing them back home safely before the end of the 1960s. 🧵
#NASAhistory


Which of these did Houbolt write in a bold 9-page letter to NASA's associate administrator? #TriviaTuesday

A. "Prithee, Robert, answer me honestly."
B. "Do we want to go to the Moon or not?"
C. "This idea has been treated very unfairly."
D. "Might I suggest one small step?"

#Tecnoafecciones Las personas que trabajan en el sector tecnológico pueden padecer diversas afectaciones.

⚠️En las maquilas, por ejemplo, se exponen a intoxicaciones químicas e irritación bronquial provocadas por el humo de soldaduras a base de plomo y estaño.

Las empresas maquiladoras suelen contratar mujeres jóvenes de entre 15 y 25 años, con el propósito de reducir costes salariales.

I haven’t played much activision games in years cause they’re windows only now and anti stream so if Microsoft stays true to changing that streaming bit then I’d actually play their games again 🤷‍♂️

Just listened to this and sketched out an idea for a game.

I can't promise anything, but I at least know what I'd make.

It could be a full linear Metroidvania or just a wave based action platformer.
