For myself, I find using a VM for things that can't run directly on Linux. I prefer using virt-manager / QEMU-KVM over VirtualBox or vmware.

While dualbooting windows and linux with secureboot works in theory, it has been a nightmare in the last 2 or so years. Microsoft has repeatedly put linux bootloader signatures on blacklists so linux doesn't boot anymore. It even sometimes deletes the linux bootloader completely during upgrades. This happened to a tuxedo system with linux/windows preinstalled by professionals. For a reliable system, I rec. linux only, windows in a VM if necessary.

#ElonMuskโ€™s wrecking ball
#Muskโ€™s declared aim is to slash US deficits by rooting out waste, fraud and abuse. His model is 80% of #Twitterโ€™s staff he fired โ€” starting with its trust and safety group. If someone essential is let go in error, he says, they can be rehired. That was case for hundreds of #nuclear safety officials fired this month. It took a while to reinstate staff monitoring nuclear stockpile because #Doge misplaced their contact.

This afternoon, @nextcloud are launching Hub 10.

How do we get public bodies, government departments, etc., to make the change from proprietary/closed source platforms to open source options like #NextCloud?

I found this slide from today's @nextcloud Hub 10 presentation interesting, and I can totally confirm it.
It always comes to mind when I see people marvelling at the progress of a new project, and viewing older projects as slow-moving.

At some point, all projects end up like this: the vast majority of the work is maintenance, and only a small fraction is new development.

Unfortunately, a lot of games that don't tag themselves, and Steam has no method by which to report such cases. But less AI in your feed is still better, even if it's not no AI in your feed.

Personally I think we should take another look at RSS v 1.0 (yes RIP Aaron Swartz) in this ActivityStream/Pub era.

Also, RSS helped with slow internet connections (Feedburner etc and less data per update) way back then.

Richest countries 'exporting extinction'


Developed nations are fuelling habitat loss and harming biodiversity in other countries by importing agricultural products, according to a Princeton University study published in Nature.

Some of these nations are destroying 15 times more biodiversity internationally than within their own borders.
