  • If Current Trends Continue, Linux Will be a Dominant OS in ~10 Years

  • Windows becoming a Linux distribution.

    not what I want, I want Windows (as in, the existing Windows codebase) to become FOSS, if that happened, we would no longer need to care about anyone switching to Linux, in fact I might then install a FOSS Windows myself

  • Space Cadet Pinball on Linux

    Jump

  • I remember already playing it through Wine in like 2009 or so, so all that is new is that it's now a decompiled version.

  • France Moves to Break Encrypted Messaging

  • Laws that you cannot enforce without looking at people's private communications are, in my mind, very likely to be laws that should probably not exist anyway in a free society. Crimes that actually harmed another person have, you know, a victim who can testify to the police or in court that the crime happened, and if you have that, what do you need to look at encrypted communications for?

    The National Assembly killed it, with the Macronist deputies, the left, and even the Rassemblement National voting it down.

    huh, at least one good thing happening somewhere in the world

  • Why do native UI frameworks suck so much?

  • Ads on Apple Maps

  • To any local business owner reading this: entering your business on OpenStreetMap is completely free of charge and will cause it to be found on many apps on many platforms. (I use it myself when looking for shops or restaurants in unfamiliar areas.) You'll also do some good for the world by supporting infrastructure that serves humanity as a whole instead of one company.

  • Flock repeatedly flags 76-year old Grandmother for arrest, erroring zero for "O"

  • TIL 4Kids Entertainment, Inc., behind infamous English dubs of shows such as One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Pokémon, traded on the New York Stock Exchange as 'KDE'

  • Utah to hold websites liable for users who mask their location with VPNs

  • The Internet really does threaten the people who are in power. They are currently realizing it and doing what they can to stop it. I just hope the Internet ends up winning. I used to be fairly optimistic about this in the mid-2010s when I hadn't been hearing very much from the copyright industry anymore... then, in the late 2010s, attacks on the free and open Internet really started to get serious. I wonder how much they will escalate.

    Shouldn't there be some constitutional requirement, maybe under "due process" theory or otherwise, that US state laws cannot apply to anyone who has no way of knowing that they are even doing something (in this case: serving customers) in that state? Has anything similar been litigated before?

  • Do you really think that you will get better answers on non-topical questions from these chatbots than from generic LLMs that are free to use anyway?

  • bro are you just mass-crossposting things from reddit or what? Those camel case titles aren't really common here, you know.

  • Epstein Elites are Policing the Internet to protect the children!

    Jump

  • Yes, but we shouldn't have to mention Epstein in order to make our point. That just makes our side look dumber. Epstein died in 2019 and none of this has anything to do with him at all.

    We should be opposing it because we want a free society based on individual rights in which people are allowed to speak, communicate, associate with anyone they want about anything they want.

  • Federation Has a European Legal Problem

    Jump

  • Yup. I remember in the 2000s and early 2010s it was very widely agreed that websites that allow user generated content are a good thing and politics should advance their existence, not try to pass laws making it harder.

    Nothing about the facts has changed since then. Politicians' attitudes meanwhile…

    US government pays $900 million to exit wind projects

  • I have no objections to mods removing it if they agree with you; I honestly believed it would be suitable here.

  • You don't find anything oniony about a government actively paying money in order to switch to less environmentally friendly sources? I suppose it's a matter of opinion.

  • and if AI turns out to be a considerably less important technology than the current interest in it would suggest, then neither of these will happen, amirite

  • The Dutch government just built its own GitHub

    Jump

  • That is good news...

    So, uh, I assume the Dutch government will heavily push back against any ideas to ban social media for young people in the EU? After all, a public forgejo instance is also "social media", and surely they will find it too costly to implement an age check there? Riiiight?
