I’ve released a new video on my channel. Linus Tech Tips is trying #Linux again. So of course I had to react to it. 😎

Has anyone received their "I write alt text" t-shirt yet? I'd love to see some pictures / hear some feedback 🙂

Eugen Rochko reshared this.

in reply to Eugen Rochko

Good morning Eugen, I ordered a couple of t-shirts but unexpectedly the package was returned to the sender. Still trying to find out the reason why ... any clue or contact address ? Thanks in advance and Keep up the Good Work.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

I think I will build a robot that can look over my shoulder at the image, and decode what it is seeing, and type the alt-text for me. Pretty neat, huh? 😜

I'll show myself out.






New single from #TheDearHunter's upcoming album Sunya came out today.

in reply to Eugen Rochko

Hmm... I'm not sure if I love this one. Not bad, but not my favorite thing that I've heard out of them.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

I just recently came around on Act V and declared Act IV the best TDH, so maybe by 2030 I'll think Antimai is the best TDH record and give this one a shot.



Warning: You Have 14 Days to Prepare for Hyperinflation


The media is calling the massive spike in gas prices a "blip." It's a lie. The American supply chain is having a heart attack, and the working class has exactly 14 days before the geopolitical fallout in the Middle East triggers total retail hyperinflation.

From the crippling fuel surcharges decimating owner-operator truckers to corporate algorithms slapping a "War Tax" on your groceries, this is how the U.S. government is systematically liquidating your paycheck to fund the destruction of another country. You have two weeks to prep your pantry before $4 ground beef becomes a memory and you are forced to finance your Sunday dinner. While the politicians chest-beat and the mega-corporations pad their quarterly margins with a "Support the Troops" sticker, you are the one paying the ultimate price for a fading global empire.

A gtk4 office suite with the gnome design Philosophy is an appealing idea.


Is anyone using #Julia in #Emacs ? How about with tree-sitter and Eglot?

Running into weird errors on my work machine…

in reply to nebunez

I write Julia code in Emacs all the time. I do not, however, use either tree-sitter or eglot but rely instead on xref and ctags.

What kinds of errors do you encounter?

in reply to éric 🚲 🇪🇺

@ericsfraga
I had some weird package errors at first but they were resolved after a removing the dirs and reinstalling.

now i'm trying to figure out how to get julia-vterm to install packages in my project directory instead of the global directory it made



Valve posted a statement on the New York lootbox lawsuit gamingonlinux.com/2026/03/valv…

#Steam #Valve #Gaming #PCGaming #Lootboxes

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

Valve's right & the card comparison is apt & relatable.
NY's suit looks like a shakedown. At the same time any sports viewing gives you an eyefull of gambling stats/sites, polymarket is somehow legal, the NYSE itself will allow an algorithm to trade a bundled derivative with nominal human involvement but sure put a tamp on people spending a couple bucks to get a game skin.
Pay the right lobbyist & all of a sudden anything looks legitimate, maybe valve is playing that game wrong.

Yesterday and the day before I did some biking and it felt so good, really helped me feel alive again
in reply to Christine Lemmer-Webber

I share this feeling! I got to ride my bike yesterday and it was hard to describe to others how important it was and how good it made me feel. Then it snowed later at night so I’m glad I got it in while I could.


⚠️ Chatbots de IA como terapeutas: usuarios sin consentimiento se convierten en "sujetos experimentales"

Un estudio en Psychiatric Times (feb 2026) documentó respuestas peligrosas en ~30 plataformas. Mientras algunos reducen síntomas, pueden generar dependencia emocional, reforzar delirios y difuminar la línea entre apoyo y daño. ¿Quién decide qué error es "aceptable" cuando las consecuencias las pagan siempre las personas más vulnerables?

#DevinTownsend’s The Moth now has a release date: May 29. Album is up for pre-order. Secured myself the vinyl. One single is up on streaming platforms today as well.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

Very pleased to see this in the video description:

"Music video handmade by StudioSparks, without the use of AI 😀"


in reply to Joseph Teller

That's because Japan's goal was safety for children rather than mass surveillance.
in reply to Joseph Teller

at the telecom level


So assume everyone uses a phone to connect to the Internet, and phone companies know the age of customers and filter their Internet accordingly.

I wonder if those of you who post non-music videos could kindly include a TL;DR for those of us who value our time too much to wait for a video to get to the point.

'What if, in reacting to the problem, we are adding to the problem?'

-Bayo Akomolafe, We Will Dance With Mountains



TIL. In April 1974, in the middle of the night, a small group of conspirators secretly installed a large tensegrity icosahedron made from discarded telephone poles on the campus of Twente University in the Netherlands.

It’s still there. People call it Het Ding (“the thing”).

*poetry*

It's not that we don't know a better world is possible.

It's that so many are trapped in the flypaper of despair manufactured by the oligarchs and the fearful.

First, free your mind.
Next, join hands.
Then, work for change.
Every one of us who does this builds that better world.



The notion of a broken clock being sometimes right is based on a gross misunderstanding of what information is.

A clock that always shows the same time is never right, even in the moments of the day when the time happens to be what it shows, because you don't gain any information about what time it is by looking at the clock.

This reasoning also applies to chatbots. If you can't tell whether what you have been given is useful information unless you alreay know the information, then you haven't been given useful information.

in reply to Fionnáin

Not sure if I hoped to learn something from this or not, but with a smallish sample size, the answer 'yes, often' is still at 0%. That's a little interesting to me.

Phones are with me 90% of the time. I sleep with it beside me (switched off). I assume it's the same for most of us. That they are not often in our dreams seems relevant somehow.

in reply to Fionnáin

(@ephemeral my theory about this is that smartphone are somehow invisible to us, we never really look at them, sense them, when we interact with them our brain forget about tangible reality, disolved in "data", when we scroll our phone our body/self is dead)




I've had dreams where I've looked at or used televisions and computer monitors, including surreal actions passing through screens. Not often, but I can remember them.

But I'm pretty sure I've never dreamt of holding or using a mobile phone. This is strange to me, considering how often I use one in waking life.

Does anyone here dream of phones?

in reply to Fionnáin

That's interesting, no, never have. No computers at all, no TV either.
in reply to Aegir

@aegir that's interesting to me too. I definitely have had screens feature. Not very often, and generally the scenario is distraction — I'm supposed to be doing something important but I stop and stare at something banal on a screen, and end up late.
in reply to Fionnáin

You got me thinking where technology ever appears in my dreams now. A lot of transport stuff (anxiety dreams mainly), trains, planes and, strangely, lifts, and (when I was a kid) lights that don’t illuminate. But mostly it’s just buildings and streets. I like to think our dream environments tell us how our minds are organised! Do you get delayed by screens much when awake?
in reply to Aegir

@aegir I love this.

I also have a lot of infrastructural dreams, especially train stations (including one recurring dream of a flashy futuristic one that I've had since I was a teen). More often, I'm in buildings with many corridors, very regularly with cracks and structural failings.

Lights without illumination are always nightmares for me.

I don't feel that screens badly interrupt my waking life though. I'm fairly productive. Definitely not a conscious thought, but maybe a subconscious one.

in reply to Fionnáin

Interesting. Only now that you ask the question: no, I cannot recall any dream with a smartphone in it.
