fennell.dev is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
If #SFC wins in the #Vizio case and Vizio complies with the #GPL & #LGPL, we should have the bare components ready to build an alternative firmware that can run something like Kodi instead on their TVs (aka their computers with a giant display attached).
I wonder if LG's are still #Linux -based? I did an enforcement action about 15 years ago and they were back then, and were in compliance, so you could rebuild & install the base operating system.
I somewhat agree with @torvalds on his recent AI statement.
LLMs for programming tasks are useful - for the time being.
Are they economically viable? Probably not.
Are they sustainable? Hell no.
Are they copyright infringement? Most likely.
But this is not what Torvalds is talking about. This guy just wants to make his Kernel better.
I fully expect LLM providers to enshittify the living hell out of these things to recoup their insane investments. They won't stay useful.

C'est avec une grande excitation que nous vous proposons cet épisode sur @postmarketOS ! 📱
On a pris le temps de faire cette longue interview, dans la série sur #mobilelinux , pour raconter l'histoire de #postmarketOS , son fonctionnement et sa gouvernance.
C'est un projet qui nous tient particulièrement à coeur et cet épisode met en lumière le côté humain et organisationnel du projet.

Un grand merci à @RannyBergamotte et @ayakael de s'être joint à nous.
On vous souhaite une excellente écoute 🎧 ou lecture 📖

I love the old school #Unix desktop environments. It goes hand in hand with the server grade hardware I could never afford, and just oozes industrial quality. Think heavy and intimidating #beige workstations by #HP, #DEC and #Sun with the power consumption of a regular house hold and metal cooling fans that could slice fingers.
Back in the day, #FVWM2 had some of the same vibe. Also, the original Common Desktop Environment (#CDE), created by some of the major vendors of Unix-like systems created back in the day is still available (https://sourceforge.net/projects/cdesktopenv/). If you're used to a modern desktop, it could be a rough experience for daily use though.
Honestly, I'm quite happy with #KDE #Plasma, and would be thrilled by just the visuals. I'm sure you know where I'm going with this, so without further jibberjabber, I give you: The CDE Plasma Theme! It's delicious! :D
If a casual chat about #Linux and #FOSS over a curry sounds fun, please come join us! Just reply to me by the end of 21 January so I know numbers for the booking.
