Told a co-worker I'm colour-blind because she kept writing in yellow pen and I hated it. Manager overheard, asked if I struggle with our software, I had to keep the lie going. Now they've spent thousands upgrading it for colour-blind accessibility. Oops.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron
Given that males are over represented in tech and that 1 in 12 of us are color blind, I am puzzled why major software vendors continue to make bad choices. One system I use uses little colored dots to indicate the status of components. They all look the same to me. Rage inducing.


"Let us be the repository of your passkeys" and "We may terminate your account at any time and permanently refuse to communicate with you" ... seems like a bad combination?

The sun creeping in! The whole Central Valley has been under an unrelenting tule fog for like three weeks now. We'd taken a trip up to the Sierra foothills just to get some sun. The trail we'd picked was right where the fog ended, so we got to appreciate it getting burned off 😀 #california #nature

Jesus fucking Christ, I'd forgotten how genuinely awful open source graphics and design apps are at, well everything, but specifically text design. Undo, redo, copy, and paste regularly broken.

Then when you decide to do things manually you get this shit

in reply to Baldur Bjarnason

Please explain to me how complaining about free software that countless people like myself contributed to and calling it awful and shit don't make you a d*#k but pointing that out to you makes me d#*k?
in reply to Moha

You came into my mentions and spoke to me specifically and directly. That's a major difference

Open source design and photography software are notoriously resistant to feedback about design, usability, and bugs, even to the point of responding with outright hostility. I've been burned several times before

There's plenty of great open source software that pays attention to UX and listens to end users. But there is something specifically dysfunctional in design and photography OSS

in reply to Baldur Bjarnason

Maybe a more constructive way is to pay them first and then expect them to get better? I mean these people work on these apps primarily for free, so don't call their enthusiasm and hard work shit please, be more supportive.
in reply to Baldur Bjarnason

I understand, it's not like I didn't ever have my struggles with oss. But also the community matters, maybe there is a reason some oss got better eg. Blender or Kdenlive and some not much.

Regardless, it's always fair to point out the issues or complain about them but devaluing the work of 10s or 100s of developers is not fair IMHO.

Rob Reiner and his Wife Dead...


People Magazine Sources say that they were Killed By His Son?

This is Shocking....

#OurModernTimes #RobReiner

in reply to Joseph Teller

We've been robbed. He was 78 and could have died at any moment to natural causes. However, murder robbed us of whatever time he had left and the marvelous contributions he could have made.
in reply to Joseph Teller

We lost a voice of reason for certain. I read how he and his wife died. His son deserves life in jail or worse for such a horrible way to kill his parents.

Does anyone know if it's possible to have an OS partition on an Android phone?

I'd like to try a couple (eos, lineage, etc) but don't want to break everything that works, or wipe Android completely until I'm sure I can do without it. Having trouble finding an answer through online searches so any advice appreciated.

Also, any guides/tips?

in reply to Fionnáin

the shirt answer is "not quite" because what would be required is a bootloader that would allow the user to select between different options.
There are some handsets which can run a bootloader which will allow you to select boot device at startup time (eMMC vs sd card, for example), but that's highly hardware-dependent.

Not everyone enjoys Linux, and that’s okay. This explains why.

Many been in Windows or Apple ecosystem for literally decades. While some are tinkerers, the majority sees the device and the OS as a single thing. They buy a computer and works until it doesn't and have it repaird or get another.
Enshittification is real (ads in FreeCell nowadays!), but moving to Linux is not an option for many. I can't tell my mom to "just" flash a USB stick and run the installer.

Probably well intended, this article is the Linux promo version of "let them eat cake"

in reply to It's FOSS

many of 15 points are not OK from home users point of view. However the Linux adversarys are sitting in their home offices beeing on duty times mostly from 9 to 5. And their social professional environment doesnt leave any chance to switch their OS.

#RunnersOfMastodon, now is the time to support the *many* runners who are close to reaching their goals for 2026 and can use some last-minute encouragment.

A few examples:
- @pfernandes, who is two HMs away from #52weeks52halfmarathons
- @steveroyle, who just needs 117k more
- @sebastianhahn, who aims at a crazy 10,000k and has a good shot at actually succeeding

There are many more of you out there. (Who did I miss?) #Running, you are all winning!

See you on the next starting lines.

in reply to Moha

@boynux

That is a terrific goal!

One of my own 2026 goals is a sub-4:07 marathon, so you're way ahead of me already. You can do it!

"The race is long, and in the end it’s only with yourself."

@Moha
in reply to Aske Kammer

Good luck 🤞

It's a bit of a stretch for me, my current Marathon PR is 3:30 so I need to shave a staggering 30 minutes off.



Another easy run done this morning, very happy with the performance today despite a bad sleep last night.
