There is a real chance that in 5-10 years, there will be laptops and smartphones running open processors and operating systems with UX and and an OS comparable or better than the p…

There needs to be a law that makes remote attestation - no matter who provides the root certificates, Google/Apple/GrapheneOS - illegal. There is only one use for this technology r…

If you head to Twitter right now, the vast majority of bots are blue checks. It seems to actually encourage the opposite, where you trusting that someone paying $8 for an account m…

I've found Mastodon to be the best platform for this in 2026. If you're working on something deeply technical, there is a good chance the upstream maintainers for whatever you're u…

Don't see why it wouldn't - as long as pstate etc. works it should be the same. I'd argue it's probably better given that modern desktops use far less resources in the background c…

I'm really looking forward to having this as the go-to laptop to recommend to devs again. The original Framework chassis was really showing it's age next to e.g. a MacBook Pro or t…

For AI: https://www.swiss-ai.org/ For Starlink: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eutelsat_OneWeb It's debatable whether there is a need for the latter in Switzerland though. They have…

For anyone interested in the current state of things in Switzerland, there is this handy map of which Swiss municipalities are dependent on Microsoft/the US right now: https://mxma…

Hey, Fel from the fedi thread here Explanation: https://mastodon.social/@pojntfx/116345725515845020 There is in practice no known way around it for now, and even less so one for re…

Re:fediverse - it depends on which communities you're part of. Digital rights, politics here in Canada (see e.g. https://mstdn.ca/@avilewis ), politics in the EU ( https://ec.socia…

It's fun, leading edge Linux distros (e.g. GNOME OS) are actually currently removing `sudo` completely in favour of `run0` from systemd, which fixes this "properly" by using Polkit…

Corrected - I meant leading edge. Context re:distros mentioned: GNOME OS: https://os.gnome.org/ KDE Linux: https://kde.org/linux/

GNOME OS uses BuildStream and as a result has no concept of packages at all and no relationship to any distro, KDE Linux is based on Arch. There is no relationship between the two.…

Sorry, not completely separate, yes, but some of the parts of the standard (e.g. systemd-sysext for layering "packages") and closely related things like systemd-sysupdate do actual…

bootc and OSTree are both very neat, but the leading edge of immutable Linux distros (GNOME OS, KDE Linux) is currently converging on a different proposal by systemd developers tha…

Relevant post from a few days ago - contrary to what's stated in that post the operator is known now and apparently trying to make a crypto scam out of this: https://pivot-to-ai.co…

Aren't they literally moving off GitHub _because_ of LLMs and the enshittification optimising for them causes? This line of thinking and these features seem to push people _off_ yo…

For the non-US-American part, that's the Fediverse, the only network that isn't developed and used primarily by US-Americans. As for "wont turn over our data" - it's push-based, th…

Awesome! Thank you!

"statichost" is neat: https://www.statichost.eu/ No functions though!

Would much appreciate a relicense to AGPLv3!
