    I bet this will be ridiculously easy to enable and notoriously hard to disable. Whoops, there goes an update that enables it again! Teehee~

    Let's make it clear, folks. #Google wants to #wiretap your brain and let #AI figure out better ways to get deep in your mind.

    Let's not forget the children. Add them to the pile too. And grandma as well.

    All must be probed.

    It flabbergasts me to this day that people working the #tech sector can't see this.

    Everyone's "copied their way to success" so much that they can't see they've become the baddies.

    To then see the #EU wanting to emulate this nonsense in order to copy the US's "success" fills me with loathing and disgust.

    “The fact that only #Parliament TV, only Hansard, can report on it tells you what the #British state is all about – and it is about curtailing our rights to organise, to resist, to challenge when the #state overreaches,” she said. “I think it is scary.”

      from Novara Media
      On Wednesday night's Novara Live, Zarah Sultana and host Steven Methven discussed how the Your Party MP used parliamentary privilege to circumvent reporting restrictions and expose a 'dystopian' court order that keeps jurors - and the British public - in the dark.

    The #tech world is laughing at the #SiliconValley barons.

    Like bro, your "#AI" can't keep time? Will there be an exclusive agentic AI that solely deals with time? Will they have to hardwire RTC's into their GPUs?

    What a friggin' joke.

    Murdering children and watching them die is something the #IDF does as a sport. There are many, many videos that prove this and you kind of get desensitized to it. Remember that the majority of people in #Gaza are actual children - or as #Netenyahu calls them: "human shields", possibly also "target practice".

    @aho @MAKS23 Trump takes bribes in crypto - and it doesn't need to be trillions. A couple of hundred million is probably enough. Cheap for sacrificing an entire country. Practically a bargain, really.

    But Zelensky knows this and that a ceasefire will only lead to a 3rd war anyways. The idea is a bit problematic, but considering the Lynch pin is access to US arms via Europe. If that stops now, Ukraine is in for a world of hurt.

    So we waltz along, too and fro, biding our time, playing the game..

    Pga #KI har prisen for minne blitt skyhøy. Dette går ut over så og si alle andre forbruk, som setter en demper for alle andre former av utvikling innafor IT. KI har blitt en altoppslukende beist som bare tar og gir ingenting annet enn løfter om fremtidig fortjeneste.

    #Gaming on #Linux is so easy now. I get the same performance - OR BETTER - than I would on Windows.

    Okay, so not everything is perfect. There are glitches, there are bugs. But I've largely been having a good, smooth gaming experience.

    Except.. with #Steam on #Flatpak. Steam on Flatpak needs to stay in the oven a little bit more, because of how it interfaces with hardware DRI on the part of the Steam client.

    But Steam installed through the system package manager works just brilliantly.

    There's a data #collective called @datacoop, where a bunch of #Danes have the gumption to run their own independent bare metal. They're considering colocation even.

    They have shared services and individual services, depending upon usage - and each user pays through a membership system.

    There's even a cheaper tier below standard to be inclusive. It's quite inspirational.

    If anyone in #Norway / #Norge would be interested in taking part in a future #datacollective, just talk to @papiris

    Out of pure curiosity, and because I'm on that #webdev #framework discovery tip. Heck, this project even made me download an IDE for Android lol

    Just to read `install.bin` - which is an sh script.

    Excuse me, but why are you bundling #nodejs and #npm? Is it to facilitate a setup process for containers, or is it merely to make the process easy?

    I'm a bit sceptical to that sort of thing, especially when fetching from a vendors domain directly.

    Any plans to build packages via CI?

    Digital activist & cultural shepard from Bergen, Norway. I spend my time shaking my fist towards the Silicon Valley barons while pushing free software and web social (previously known as the fediverse, or "Allheimen" in Norwegian). I also don't mind commercial software, as long as it runs on a libre operating system, as I do like me some modeled audio software and video games on Steam.
