The recording for my talk at KubeCon this week has just been uploaded! If you couldn't make it to the conference this year or want to watch our live demo of migrating a Kubernetes cluster from AWS to GCP to Azure with Architect again, you won't want to miss it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGUN7aUBGTU

Sunsets here in Utah are incredible

(Bonus: Amtrak station in the distance!)

Every time I use zstd I get so unreasonably happy to see my 5 GB VM image reduced down to 21 MB

Lake Constance my beloved

Patrick Breyer should be awarded a Bundesverdienstkreuz for his fight against Chat Control at this point tbh

@eshep Yup, all in `proot` - no Termux involved! See: https://github.com/pojntfx/hydrapile/blob/main/docs/termux-weston.md

Disregard my previous post, I figured it out - here is a pure #Wayland desktop running on #Android, with a #Pipewire backend that is then being read by #GStreamer in a proot, which is then read by GStreamer on the host device through a FIFO (as raw YUV420 frames). It works, and all without X!

Sometimes I hack around with the transparency & blur implementations for #GNOME, create a #GtkWebView2 with a transparent background enabled, and just am in awe for a minute at what is possible on this platform

Added a #cyberpunk mode to #connmapper :) Mostly for fun, but it's really cool how much the web stack can do these days with `transform3D` and `backdrop-filter`!

Reminder that until Apple is legally forced to allow users to disable Notarization on their mobile devices, you still can't write and distribute an app for iOS anonymously or without paying $99/year, rendering 3rd party app stores utterly useless

Tried out Plasma Mobile 6 on my OnePlus 6T today and whoa it is _smooth_

@RL_Dane @mozilla It's particularly sad cause ... Chrome on mobile has it ("subscribe to this site") 😭

@HistoPol @pluralistic IMHO there should be no copyright, the fact that LLMs don't care about it is beautiful and should be encouraged. I want LLMs to be trained on every single document that Springer keeps away from the public. Same with every paywalled article.

As for checking sources - well yes, obviously. The same applies to search engines and everything else.

Whenever I hear someone talk about how "crazy" it is that LLMs have "the things you are about to see might be misleading" warnings and that their output might be nonsense, wait until you hear about search engines

If you believe that LLMs have no value for getting to learn a new topic because of hallucinations, you must also think the same thing about any kind of search engine, Wikipedia, the internet or really any kind of platform with user-generated content, that is to say literally any form of media without review

@HistoPol ty! ^-^

And we're on route to #FOSDEM!

@HistoPol Dem stimmme ich def. zu. Bin mir nicht so ganz sicher ob es wirklich früher besser war (immerhin gab es IE usw. - als Linux-Nutzerin hätte ich damals nicht arbeiten können :P), aber ich glaube dass der Weg des DMA der richtige ist. Gleichzeitig bin ich aber auch ziemlich sicher dass früher oder später der schrumpfende Einfluss der EU auf die USA dazu führen wird dass "wir implementieren den DMA" zu "wir geoblocken die EU" wird :)

@HistoPol Danke danke!

So, hab mich mal durchgeschaut.

"Doctorow emphasizes the need to halt consolidation and break up big tech companies, advocating for comprehensive federal privacy laws, ending worker misclassification, and opening up walled gardens by forcing tech platforms to stand up APIs that allow new platforms to connect to them."

@HistoPol Hey! Sorry, volle Woche ^^
