Of course. AI is faster and deeper enshittification of everything.

What sort of sticky, tricky politics will ensue, setting the technical merits of Rust aside?
in reply to It's FOSS

great, now even my package manager is partisan.
I personally don't like the idea of someone who views their coding language as a tool for political activism writing deps for my core system. Free backdoors for all.

Whatever you say about him. All Windows users are really suckers. The same goes for Meta users too.

That is so so true.

Big news! 🚨 More countries opt for #OpenSource to protect their digital sovereignty.

The Austrian Ministry for Economic Affairs migrates away from Microsoft 365 to a Nextcloud and LibreOffice solution. 💪

Read the story in @FOSSForce recent article:

fossforce.com/2025/10/austria-…

in reply to Nextcloud 📱☁️💻

I suspect that Austria did not say "auf Wiedersehen" to Microsoft - it means "see [you] later" and in this case, it appears they don't want to see Microsoft ever again.


How narcissism ruins teamwork – and why it matters in the workplace

"The fix isn’t to sideline confident people. But it’s to value good listeners as much as good talkers. Leaders who prize only assertiveness risk breeding rivalry instead of cooperation."

in reply to Muse

Yep....I can certainly understand and see that @Muse!!
@Muse

People can be narcissists without being dickheads.


Don't hold your breath waiting for the next one, though.



Involving women in peace deals reduces chance of a conflict restarting by up to 37%


"The significance of women to building sustainable peace is undeniable. Our research, supported by the United States Institute of Peace, has found that on average the incorporation of measures to include women in post-conflict society in a peace agreement reduces the probability of conflict recurrence by 11%. Even more significantly, if this process occurs alongside UN leadership, the probability of conflict recurrence is reduced by 37%."

@Friendica Admins
Disposable email addresses are a real nuisance when used to register on the Fediverse. Experience has shown me that nothing good can be expected from such accounts. That's why I maintain my own list of around 4,600 addresses.

This appears to be a regularly updated list. Perhaps there is a need for it. Therefore, I am leaving the link here.

in reply to Matthias

@Matthias I also use the list plus some emails that have appeared as spam on my instance on several occasions. I have also formatted the list so that it only needs to be copied and pasted into the admin area. Everything can be found here: git.friendi.ca/oldkid/disposab…
in reply to Matthias

Good point. Maybe there could be an addon that automatically updates a block list of domains from a centrally maintained list, sort of like what uBlock does.

Something similar could be done regarding instances that spam or have no moderation. so those are automatically blocked. Maybe there already is a way to do so that isn't manual?

Another Passing Of Note:


Donna Jean Godchaux, singer with the Grateful Dead (1972-1979)

Her run with the group included the Grateful Dead studio records
Wake of the Flood (1973), From the Mars Hotel (1974), Blues for Allah (1975), Terrapin Station (1977) and Shakedown Street (1978).

Godchaux and her husband Keith Godchaux also made the 1975 album, Keith & Donna, which featured Grateful Dead bandmate Jerry Garcia. The duo also appeared on Garcia's solo albums during this time. (Keith passed away in 1980 after an auto accident).

Forget clunky software centers. Bazaar makes finding apps actually fun.

itsfoss.com/bazaar-app/

#linux #flatpak

in reply to It's FOSS

I switched back to bazzite, after a year of different distros not too long ago, and Bazaar really is amazing for what it does

I wish it would be able to easily install apps from distro repos, as I want to use it on my debian laptop that uses gnome, because I can't stand "Software", but I sadly still have to use software for the debian repo

Hopefully more DEs will come with bazaar at some point or help improve it

in reply to It's FOSS

If you like the option of searching apps by specific repositories, Warehouse is the Flatpak store app you need.


Huggies maker Kimberly-Clark is buying Tylenol maker Kenvue


Suspicious

So is the whole RFK unfounded scientifically attacks on Tylenol that he is now starting to back down from just an attempt to manipulate the price of the stock before this announcement? Does he financially benefit from all this?

#OurModerntimes #RFKjr #Kimberly-Clark #Kenvue #Tylenol #StockScam?

in reply to Joseph Teller

If he doesn't, someone he knows does, and then they owe him a favor he can use later. Either way, we can all be certain it benefits the grifters in office somehow.
