If you want a repairable phone that doesn't spy on you and is made with better supply chains, the @murena Fairphone 4 is $50 off in the US: murena.com/america/shop/smartp… (This is what I use. I got mine free as an early tester. I love it, though the camera is not the best.)

Great news! In general NVidia is taking up speed. Not as good as AMD, mind you, but I think when this year comes to an end we're talking about Wayland problems and not NVidia-Wayland-problems anymore.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

that could mean that NVIDIA might be moving towards open source but given their history it's hard to say for sure

That's another good reason. I read Thomas Malthus's essay on population growth when I was 17 and saw what was coming (and I was right). Since then, I have found many other reasons to not breed.


People outside the US really have no concept of what it's like inside that country. They haven't for decades.
I try to keep this in mind whenever I read about events in another country. We always see such a tiny slice of the situation.


ZINGER! Yes, thank you!

Clap or AI Gets It


"Like the threat behind crypto’s “have fun staying poor” slogan, AI needs the rest of us to believe in its unstoppable ascendancy because that belief is basically all it has. AI products aren’t about whether anyone wants or needs AI products. They’re about how people could want or need those products, eventually, if everyone stays the course and also keeps pumping money into AI companies."

NASA - I sure do hope you've managed at least a secure handshake to ensure the data can't be tampered with.

University of Oslo chose Nextcloud to set up an on-premises research platform, allowing users to share and collaborate on data and text files securely!

Now, researchers can work with files without their data going to commercial cloud providers.
Here's how they did it:

Great finally universities can use their cloud services for research data. Those of us stuck with 365 can´t 🙁
