Shout out to Ibtihal Aboussad who told Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman during Microsoft's 50 years celebration:
“Shame on you. You are a war profiteer. Stop using AI for genocide in our region. You have blood on your hands. All of Microsoft has blood on its hands. How dare you all celebrate when Microsoft is killing children. Shame on you all.”

Benchmarking Your Linux System: What, Why and How
It is easy to benchmark your Linux system, you just need the right tools. We tell you about those here.Ankush Das (It's FOSS)
When the Gezi protests kicked off a decade ago, Turkish state TV showed a documentary about penguins while people were getting tear gassed and beaten by the police.
The gas masked penguin became the symbol of the protests, and I still have this guitar pick from back then.
It's ironic that as protests against an egomaniac autocrat kick off again in Turkey in 2025, the penguin has become symbolic of another egomaniac autocrat in the USA at exactly the same time.
wow I didn't know that about Turkey and nice parallel with the USA.
The penguin is also a symbol of environmentalism and linux. And a rags-to-riches antihero who rails against the capitalist vigilante Batman. Ticking all the right boxes really.

How to Increase Swap Space on Raspberry Pi
My struggling Raspberry Pi got a performance boost by a small change in the memory configuration.Abhishek Kumar (It's FOSS)
Thanks for posting your results. I usually configure some swap on my Linux hosts except for the Pi Zeroes running with the overlayfs. I'm thinking that using RAM for swap is just not a good idea.
OTOH I've been wondering if Zram would be good in that situation. I'm trying it on my laptop which has 16GB RAM and way too many open browser tabs.

Microbial organisms dominate life on Earth, but tracing their early history and evolution is difficult because they rarely fossilize. Determining when exactly a particular group of microbes first appeared is especially hard.Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (Phys.org)

Republican rebels try to stop Trump's Canada tariffs
Four Republican US senators have broken ranks and voted with the Democrats in an effort to block President Donald Trump's tariffs against Canada. In a rare display of opposition to the president, Lisa Murkowski, Mitch McConnell, Rand Paul and Susan Collins helped to vote through a resolution 51 to 48 to end Trump's emergency declaration on fentanyl trafficking that he has used to justify tariffs on Canadian imports.

Cat #PSA: If you clip your (indoor) cat's claws, at the beginning you need to trim a little bit every few days; as the quick recedes gradually, the claws can be trimmed shorter, and they'll be easier to maintain. I noticed that the cats are having an easier time controlling them when they're shorter.
Couldn't find the original source for the diagram.

in reply to katherine • • •accessibility notes:
- IMPORTANT: it is unfortunately a heavy webpage, weighing in at about 45 MB due to all of the images. i was wondering if there was a way to optionally load the images only if the user is okay with loading more data, but i'm not sure if there's a way to do that right now.
- each image comes with a caption that serves as the alt text. (hopefully that functionally works?) wasn't sure if this was going to be helpful or overwhelming, but it turned out to be an interesting writing challenge and i kind of like it. there is an option to hide the alt text if it's visually distracting while browsing the images.
- should work on both larger and smaller screens
- should work with both mouse and keyboard (have not tested with a screen reader yet)

in reply to katherine • • •- functional without javascript (happily using the CSS scroll snap feature)
Fionnáin
in reply to katherine • • •I tried to do this with an image heavy web artwork before but it needed a chunk of javascript to build a loader. Even though the overall MB size with javascript was smaller, I wanted to keep it accessible for non-JS users so opted for a disclaimer that says the page needs a little time to load.
Also I love this wonderful work of yours.
