New shitty reality:
Every time #NCBI is #down you wonder whether it's permanent or not.

Just now the whole nih.gov is not resolving from two different locations I have access to.
Also:
downdetector.com/status/nih/

And just in time when I decided to do some #bioinformatics work 1AM on Sat^W Sunday.

Extremely chilling to read that @w7voa put on leave after a Trump advisor called a tweet of his — which was quoting someone — as "treasonous."

You realize, of course, you just opened the gate to a field **filled** with rabbit holes… This sounds fascinating!


“But it never occurred to me that Musk’s people would try to seize control of the computer systems that, in effect, cut all the checks the federal government sends out. In fact, very few people realized it was happening.” I wonder how many actually do.

Hi friends. I work at Mozilla, but obviously not on privacy/legal matters.
Anyway, I have been unhappy about the terms of use debacle, as many others here. So, folks have taken their time to listen and clarify. The terms of use are being rewritten differently to put these concerns to rest. See here for more blog.mozilla.org/en/products/f…

This one is about “Is Arch Linux stable?”, explaining Linux with Rolling Release vs Stable Release

Just when I got Arch set up to my liking, I’m trying to switch over to Artix. My idea is to use Turnstile and Seatd instead of elogind, and then to play around with Hyprland as DE.

Eventually I want to take this experiment further and run that setup on Gentoo 😂



Eeek my book is in print! So beyond thrilled with how beautiful it looks. Asked for gold letters as it's a book by #Autistic people and Au is periodic symbol for gold.

How has your Ubuntu 24.04 LTS experience been so far?

@kreynen Not sure. The airport is regulated separately, and the Duopoly has a stranglehold. That was actually what limited the growth of Green Taxi Co-op.

from the view, I would guess somewhere in Montmartre, framed towards South-west? (I can see the Madeleine church and the Accor tower in the background)

wonderful to see. I still have my Super Tak 105 attached to my Pentax MX.

You asked, we built it! See what Nextcloud Hub 10 is about! ✨

Not only we challenged the #BigTech once again, but delivered countless performance improvements you asked for!

in reply to Nextcloud 📱☁️💻

@janvlug thank you! It's understandable that you publish to were the audience is, however we need to be encouraging bridges as well (in parrallel if necessary) or we'll be trapped in the same way evil corp(s) had us trapped before nextcloud came along.

It's a great sign of leadership by your organization and also signals to users that these alternatives, like yours, are viable.



Windows who? Linux is the future.

itsfoss.com/not-switching-to-w…

in reply to It's FOSS

itsfoss.com/not-switching-to-w… makes a good case for ditching windows but he still ignores the many areas where Linux is far superior to Windows. Doing anything that requires more than one program is difficult or impossible in Windows without extensive training. Tinkering in Linux is a breeze. If you are serious about getting work done on a compute, you need Linux!
in reply to It's FOSS

I am such a normie that I did not switch to linux as if yet. Pray for me.


Feel like this should be required reading for half of the Mozilla posts I'm seeing.

not really surprising to see Linux folks going ape over it, the same people who go ape over a CoC that amounts to "don't be a dickhead"
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

@gamingonlinux
Believe it is also a symptom of wanting to find “good” vs “bad” guys or generally binaries. It becomes so easily to validate those thoughts and people become so quickly dramatic.

We are moving too fast for our own good.

I don’t even know what Ladybird is but now I don’t want to know.


I'm now 4chan famous apparently. This was on a post titled "It failed" with just the Bluesky logo.

(I got sent it, I don't read 4chan)

The post has a screenshot of my X/Twitter profile.

It's news to me that Bluesky failed 🙃

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

Certainly news for me, since my bsky account has more reach than my Twitter ever did.

The art feeds (and the fact you can remove the "Discover" feed) are pretty great, too.

It might not be the Twitter killer - at least not right now - but it's good enough for me. Might even keep it alongside Mastodon as I slowly transfer to European alternatives to American monopolistic tech services.

Found in a used copy of Still Life With Woodpecker by Tom Robbins.

It’s a Santayana quote. Full version reads:

“To be happy, even to conceive happiness, you must be reasonable or (if Nietzsche prefers the word) you must be tamed. You must have taken the measure of your powers, tasted the fruits of your passions and learned your place in the world and what things in it can really serve you. To be happy you must be wise.”
