Wanna watch my friend Sergey @bugaevc live code the Hurd tomorrow, Saturday
June 1st at 2pm UTC!? His goal is to update the Hurd port to AArch64 AND
to code a simple trivfs translator live. What cool simple trivfs
translator do you want to see him code (and run on AArch64)?
If you want to come, then at 2pm UTC, just point your modern web
browser at https://jitsi.member.fsf.org/Hurd-code-jam and we'll
have some fun! If there is a password, it'll be HURD. We will record the session! See you soon! #hurd#GNU
Here's my take on the Recall crapware that's been added to Windoze:
Recall will make use of on-device processing for some time, if/when "incompatible" Copilot+PCs receive support, the learning will be processed on a server.
Local processing will "become" an opt-in feature (because why not) and cloud processing (read: data-mining) becomes the default.
Local processing becomes a paid feature ( i.e the "Pro/Plus" tier) and is no longer available for regular users.
Users enjoy using Windows 11 despite knowing that literally everything they do on their computers (which IMO was never theirs from the start - if they've been using Windows) is up for grabs
now not only can Microsoft get access to all your data, heckers can too (how very generous of Microsoft)
And I forgot the important part (the part that I truly wish happens)
more and more users switch to #GNU+Linux. #Linux has only gotten so much better over the years, and even pain points like Nvidia, Wayland etc are becoming increasingly rare.
Switch to #freesoftware today! Use software where you're the user, not the used!
🔴 Today on #SystemCrafters Live, we will write a custom Org export backend that will convert Org Mode documents to Scheme! The goal is to produce equivalent documents in the Skribe format used by Skribilo for Scheme-hackable document production.

Video of the interview with #guix founder @civodul is available. A great chat about the #nix deployment model, his interested in #guile and #free software. Lots of interesting chat about motivation in #freesoftware, #gnu and #linux - as well as the Plan9-ification of Guix!!
I just opened registration for the June iteration of the "Hands-On Guile Scheme for Beginners" course!
This is an 8-week course that is a mixture of on-demand learning content, live Q&A sessions, practical exercises, and a private forum where I answer all your questions.
This iteration officially begins on June 8th, full details and schedule can be found here:
In « Source Code Archiving to the Rescue of Reproducible Deployment » we describe the #GNU#Guix / @swheritage integration to ensure the reproducibility of scientific environments.
Für Testberichte zu kommerziellen Produkten hat das CORE-Team einige grundlegende Richtlinien ausgearbeitet. Diese gelten für Redakteure und Gastautoren. Sie sollen für mehr Transparenz sorgen.
En 2019 Ola Bini el activista digital sueco, fue detenido en Ecuador acusado injustamente de posibles accesos no permitidos a los sistemas informáticos del Estado Ecuatoriano, sin embargo, esto nunca se comprobó y tras algunos meses de prisión tuvo que ser liberado. Sin embargo... #softwarelibre#gnu#linux
Almost a year exclusively using GrapheneOS for mobile and (many years before that) GNU/Linux for all my computing.
How quickly one gets spoiled. Found myself obliged over the past few days to help relatives use Windows and iOS. It was deeply shocking.
Windows on newish hardware is so slow that I didn't think it was responding. To say nothing of the privacy and usability nightmare.
And the Apple ratchet has tightened down a few more clicks in a year. A very high quality third party app that I bought years ago now appears in a new version "with in-app purchases," and the splash screen requires me to sign in via Google or Facebook. Perfectly ghastly.
J'aimerais grandement apprendre le langage de commande GNU/Linux. Y aurait-il une ou un Mastodonaute qui accepterait de me revendre, et de m'envoyer, un de ses bouquins d'occasion ? Un truc du genre « Guide de poche Linux » ou « Ligne de commande Linux et Bible de Script Shell ». Anglais accepté !
Papa qui achète un mac dernier modèle pour remplacer son ancien mac qui marche plus.
"C'est plus la même connectique, je peux plus brancher mes anciens périphériques sur le nouveau modèle."
Papa qui bloque le démarrage après avoir saisi trop de fois le mauvais mot de passe.
"J'ai appelé la hotline ils devaient me rappeler, ils ont jamais rappelé. Du coup je suis allez chez un revendeur agréé, ça fait une semaine qu'ils ont la machine pour la débloquer."
Fiston récupère un PC à la cave (AMD Sempron) avec écran clavier souris. installation de Debian, openbox,VLC, gthumb, firefox.
Papa peut en quelques clics sauvegarder ses photos, voir ses films, allez sur le web, bref faire tout comme sur le mac sauf que là ça marche et ça lui a rien coûté.
"C'est génial !"
