"Donโ€™t tell me or it wonโ€™t happen."

I just turned one of those bold, round numbers that invites metaphysical thoughts about Time. Waking up at forty, I find myself in a body that feels healthy. From here, the past doesnโ€™t look effortless: waking at six, workouts, repetitions, injuries, recoveries. But it does feel contingent. Perhaps a future version of me wished it so. Maybe a wish is not something that happens in the future, but something that selects a past.

Not an injection of energy, but a constraint on what histories are allowed, a pressure that filters the trajectories that can lead to this moment. There has to be a sequence of events that leads to the arrangement of me now. Perhaps this is the only history that survives the constraint of a wish I would one day impose: that I be well.

If so, thanks.

You know how thereโ€™s an Ubuntu edition targeted at Chinese users/market. What if there was one of those for California? Just saying.

A bit concerning for the company how much of the reasons were related to Fortnight. It can't be healthy to put almost all of your money on one pony.

Secondarily, lowering wages and raising cost of living is leading to well-known results. It's just, that, well...

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

So 20% of the company laid off.

meh...just another shitty billionaire doing shitty billionaire things.

what did you expect from him? To *not* suck people dry and throw them away?

Stop being surprised at this stuff. Maybe don't play billionaire's games instead. Then you can just skip the "betrayal and anger" bit when they fuck their employees over. Again. And again.

FOSDEM 2026 Blog Post

Hi everyone, welcome to the first but hopefully not last community update of the year. In this update we share what we discussed at FOSDEM (PinePhone 2, community editions, DRAM shortage), what we demoed at our stand at FOSDEM and details on the PineTime Pro.

Next month will have the main community update which we will do our best to push out (touch wood).

It was nice to meet you guys again at FOSDEM this year! And, even if we didn't manage to run a demo on the PineTimePro prototype, I had a lot of fun working on it while you were screaming "Hey Jarvis" every 2 minutes ๐Ÿ˜

I suspect we will have two webs: the version controlled by big tech, and a much, much smaller version that is largely reputation based and is shaped by things analogous to webrings with discovery via resource lists.

Big potential plus: the corporate web will be a blend of saccharine content, ragebait, and dark patterns - so a subset of people will use it less and get outside more.

A systemd fork has set out as a fu*k you to age verification.
Good
Better: use a NO Systemd distro.

antiX-26 comes with runit, sysVinit, dinit,
s6-rc and s6-66

s6-rc my favorite, boot and shutdown very fast and reliable.

in reply to It's FOSS

yeah great, I think the correct response however is to start the arduous process of migrating away from systemd-only distros, because this most recent debacle has proved beyond a reasonable doubt that it is in fact cancer
