Researchers exploring Bolivia’s Great Tectonic Lakes discovered a landscape transformed over centuries by sophisticated engineering and diverse agricultural traditions.
This post against "age certification" laws is yet another reason I'm proud of our local Colorado Linux computer factory, @system76blog.system76.com/post/system7…
I sense something brewing with the issue of incorrectly managed copyright renewals and Public Domain Philip K. Dick stories. We have already seen the news about…
Forest 500 report shows 150 of the world’s largest financial institutions invested nearly $9 trillion in deforestation-linked industries. Support EUDR!
i think the mastodon app is missing the heading for this error message and is only displaying the summary/description. it makes for an oddly poetic popup.
let’s just create another reasonable operating system. Make it compatible with apps from other OSes and try to sell it to individual users, not companies @keepandroidopen

I don't think the UK media have made nearly enough noise about the US Navy sinking an *unarmed* Iranian warship and then, in clear violation of the Geneva Conventions, leaving them to drown.
This is a heinous war crime which the media would be rightly up in arms about if any country that wasn't nominally an "ally" had done it.

You can use snaps, flatpaks and deb-packages side by side, and you can allways decide by yourself which one to use, so what's all the fuss anyway? Ubuntu just works.
I've been using Slackware and spinoffs for years - currently Porteus - and I accept that this is Linux so everyone is entitled to their own opinion of 'what works'. We may not agree because we have differing priorities, and needs from our software 'ecosystem' but STOP WITH THE UBUNTU BUTTHURT willya? ' The hate it gets is over the top'? Grow up! Stop crying! Grow some more distros!
I don't hate Ubuntu but the last LTS came with some issues that were very frustrating for me and which would have vexxed someone with less experience. Three that spring to mind:
-NTFS driver that doesn't work (why can I suddenly not access my NTFS drives!?)
-appimages restricted (why can I not open these programs that I rely on!?)
-GTK version not being backwards compatible (why do the GUIs of these plugins I rely on suddenly not work!?)
I learned a lot with Ubuntu desktop many years ago, but at one point, I felt like I was fighting more with it than I was actually using it. Snap made it even worst... For the desktop, I left for Pop!Os for many years, but now that they are not updating the Gnome version anymore, I switched to Debian. I still use Ubuntu-server a lot though...
my first distro was kubuntu (ubuntu shipping with kde) and its probably the worst distro ive used so far and ive used a lot, its not that its doing anything wrong (even tho it does with snap and probably other things) its that i dont see much reason to use it over something like fedora or just base debian
We now have two t-shirt designs on our merch shop! Both are unisex, high quality 100% organic cotton, with screen prints of @dopatwo's awesome illustrations. You voted for these slogans!

An organic cotton t-shirt with a great feel, screen printed in 5 vibrant colors. Writing alt text for images and videos helps people with low or no vision participate in the community.
Minecraft (Java Edition) has supported Linux platforms for a long time, so getting it running on Steam Deck / SteamOS is easy. Here's your foolproof guide to getting it set up correctly and with controller support too.

The new CEO of of Microsoft Gaming, Asha Sharma, confirmed something that has been widely speculated for a while that could be bad news for the Steam Machine.
"plays xbox and steam games" xbox games? what games, they all pretty much suck and they've been shutting down or enshittifying their own studios, microslop is dead to me, has been for almost 2 years now, I will not allow anything microsoft related into my life ever again, Same goes for Sony. I just hope that Gabe stays pro consumer for the most part, I am also extremely thankful to Linux devs and the communtity. PC's running Bazzite or Steam machine only for this guy.
We've already covered how California has a new operating system age-checking law coming into force next year - but many more US states also have plans.
With this, most linux users will avoid distros made at USA. At Kimberly GNU/Linux homepage i left clear that i won't follow these absurd laws. As project website is not hosted at USA, i no have reaons to comply
These "laws" are not about child protection and all about data brokerage and building profiles of the real people using technology that bypasses the pseudonyms and screen names so that individuals can be targeted and silenced by any big corpo or gov't. Any court/judge/lawyer worth their salt wouldn't uphold this sort of "law". Sadly politicians are running around unchecked. #Dystopia #1984 FOSS as a whole should Not comply regardless of home country
The worst part of this is that it’s just a front for data collection and attaching everything we do on our computers to our IDs. They aren’t saying that part out loud, but it’s obviously what they want. That’s going to be abused to hell and back.
I wish all the best for all Americans who didnt ask for this, and especially System76. Sorry y'all have to deal with that stupid age verification bullcrap.
Looks like the EU solution is less invasive but still caving into the idea of safety through control. Problematic that state laws of the US have to change technlology for everybody else.
"Lastly, my take on this situation? This feels less like coincidence and more like a coordinated move being run under the guise of protecting children's rights. We already know how certain regimes around the world treat those rights."
Yeah, they sure love protecting other people's children.
In truth, these politicos don't care about anyone's children.
The California age verification law makes it easier for malicious actors to positively identify and target children. The OS and databases will now contain age data that malicious actors could potentially use to narrow down the hunt for younger prey. This is the opposite of protecting children. It allows the developers and app stores to directly target children, too.
@octade If they were serious about protecting children they would: a) ban X b) regulate all social networks and would enforce the laws c) would heavily fine those tech-bros for violating existing laws. d) teach children to think critically about the internet and social media. Why in school? Because a lot of grown-ups seem to lack the common sense be able to do this at home.
This is Australia's entry into Eurovision this year. It's a corker!
Delta Goodrem is a well loved pop star here. She has done her research and written a song that has a solid Eurovision vibe. All she has to do is get into the top ten singers of Eurovision and Australia can stay in the competition! I was surprised that our singer GoJo didn't do better last year. I thought he was terrific! But he was also funny--you have my love if you are also funny!
Definitely sounds like a Eurovision vibe! Best of luck!
The video, at least as played back by Safari, annoyed me though. The lip-sync seemed off a bit, and was exacerbated by the rather abrupt frequent jump editing. The sync problem could be youtube vs. my playback, but somehow I don't think so.
@Greg A. Woods That would be YouTube's new system to keep people from downloading videos. DRIVES ME NUTS! Most videos have to be played for a few seconds, then rewound in order to get everything to sync up. Their algorithm has gotten worse as well. I can see why some people end up being taken into conspiracy theory hell. I end up NOT trying things, because they can end up polluting my feed.
I re-watched it in Vivaldi, a de-google'd chromium browser, and it was better, though with the excessive jump-cut editing sometimes it was hard to tell.
