Linux smashes past 5% on the Steam Survey for the first time gamingonlinux.com/2026/04/linu…

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

With what Windows is currently doing to its users I think it's sickening that the most viable alternative is a mere 5%. Where is the line for people?

But any improvement is at least a step in the right direction, even if it is positively glacial.

Use a distro with BTRFS and snapper making automatic snapshots so you can boot into a snapshot and rollback in case something goes wrong. Saved me so much trouble and time.

In a terminal shell, if you want to do a recursive operation on dotfiles only, don't do `.*` -- do `.[^.]*` for example, and test with a non-destructive command like `echo` beforehand. Reason: `.*` includes `..`

Democratic lotteries put power in the hands of the people


A democratic lottery fairly selects a group of representatives that matches the makeup of the population. It selects from all citizens who meet basic requirements and are willing and able to serve a limited term.

And because lotteries remove campaigning, they remove parties, politicians, super PACs, and so much of what is tearing America apart.

We can use democratic lotteries instead of elections to fill legislatures like Congress, and to transform how we choose executives like the President.

In recent decades, democratic lotteries have been used hundreds of times to call on citizens to develop policy on challenging issues. And they were central to government in Ancient Athens.

But few have had the chance to see this transformative paradigm for themselves. Until now…

The US documentary about democratic lotteries is set to be released soon.

Anger. Anger. Hate. Hate. Hate. Defeatism. Cynicism. More hate and anger. Pessimism. YELLING! Vicious put-downs. Talk of violence. Anger. Anger.

Does this sound healthy? What does this do to a person's sense of well-being? Does it help anyone? How demotivating is this? This isn't just MAGA. Plenty of other people wallow in this stuff.

Find even the smallest amount of caring and courage inside, then go outside and help build a better world!

I watch enough new to keep informed but don't pay attention to every little tidbit. I love my walks, being out in nature when I can watching things that make me laugh, spending time with family & friends, reading is my best escape, so many books, so many places to go to through when I read. 😍 My motto is to be kind, smile when you pass someone on the sidewalk, say Hi or good morning, acknowledge you saw them. Smile, it costs nothing. ☺️
Good post @Muse.

We want to port Haiku to the RK356x platform 🙂

It's a long term plan but once Haiku port for RK356x is done and ready, we'll:

- Deprecating our ALARM-based Linux distro in favor of Haiku.

- All new PineTab2 will ship with Haiku instead of traditional ALARM-based Linux distro.

- Existing users will still remain on ALARM, however there'll not be any updates (user will receive "there is nothing to do" when they tried to update it)

yay a little build script for a little project 😀
in reply to katherine

it feels really helpful and comforting to know a little bit of shell scripting and python for these cases! i definitely don't know a lot, but it's just enough that i don't have to feel beholden to the npm/javascript/node environment and can do something a lot more lightweight
in reply to katherine

it's great, well done!

I remember seeing the artist Ben Grosser speak a few years ago, where he said something along the lines of 'I'm not a good programmer, but I am good enough to figure out a way to do what I want to do'. I think this is a great way to think about code.




I spent this evening painting gorse thorns with tempera paint made with the ashes of burned drawings of gorse bushes that were drawn in charcoal made from gorse branches.

I'd appreciate some more serious articles about how to think in #erlang/#elixir/#gleam so more about architecture, how to arrange code - I don't want to call it design pattern - but I need some conceptional food for thought 😀
in reply to Su-Shee

I recently went all-in on #Gleam at work and in personal projects, and I would love to see these kinds of articles as well.

🌐 El silencioso regreso del control central

Internet nació descentralizado: protocolos abiertos, servidores propios. Hoy la IA centraliza en el punto de interpretación: ya no navegamos, recibimos respuestas sintetizadas. Google/Meta concentraron atención, ahora OpenAI/Anthropic median conocimiento. La tecnología descentralizada existe (ActivityPub, RSS), el problema es cultural. Solución: autoalojar, federarse, diversificar.

servidor propio puede entenderse también como servidor autónomo y cercano, es decir, grupos más pequeños y políticamente alineados que sabes harán lo posible por proteger tu información y proceso. No todes tenemos que hacerlo todo, vincularse con aliases parece una mejor idea 😀

@neauoire are you by any chance aware of some work doing “useful” computation with cellular automatons?
in reply to Artyom Bologov

if midi information as output is valid, and you consider orca a CA, then I'd say yes, it's very useful. It's likely the most efficient UX in terms of density for livecoding beating 1d textual representation. And it allows for the encoding of data in a very dense way.
llllllll.co/t/orca-livecoding-…

Someone else mentioned wireworld which works the same way, if you use the edge of the world as IO
youtube.com/watch?v=m5kT47US7e…

Neural nets are not too far from cellular automata too, only they don't map to a rigid grid. But for tasks that aren't sequential, or can be distributed, CA are very efficient, think of Green Arrays for example.
wiki.xxiivv.com/site/neural_ne…

You can also consider the memory model behind BQN and APL as CA, as state changes on memory is applied non-deterministically.

in reply to Devine Lu Linvega

the experiments with making a Turing machine in orca were definitely on my mind! And neural networks merge with CAs inti neural CAs, so yeah, it’s there.

Thanks for the reference!

ONLYOFFICE feels like Microsoft Office, while LibreOffice does more. Pick your poison. 👇

in reply to It's FOSS

And ONLYOFFICE project has been forked, so now there is an alternate open source version. I think its called Euro-Office (?).

Supported by a whole fleet of European open source companies, including NextCloud.

It will be interesting to see how that project develops.

I used libreoffice and it's so frustrating so OnlyOffice is now my tool
