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
🔴 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.
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:
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!!
In « Source Code Archiving to the Rescue of Reproducible Deployment » we describe the #GNU#Guix / @swheritage integration to ensure the reproducibility of scientific environments.
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 !
In #LibrePlanet talk about #GNU#Taler the speaker Iván Alejandro Ávalos Díaz is warning us about our future in 2050 where we no longer have #Freedoms to choose our payment systems, pay with cash, or pay at all if we were behaving 'naughty'.
> Microsoft has the government locked in as a customer, so the government’s options for forcing change at Microsoft are limited, at least in the short term.
This applies to the states of the 🇪🇺 #EU and many other countries as well. But the bigger problem is: Nobody seems to care. Many times people just shrug and say that we can't change that anyway. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
To me it's the same situation as with the 🌡️ #ClimateCrisis. You can make the change. Switch to #FreeSoftware such as a :linux: #GNU / #Linux system, support #OpenSource projects through contribution and donation, and never trust the cloud (other people's computers).
No #AI or "genius" at #Microsoft or other #BigTech company will save the world or protect you from #Cybercrime. It's up to you and it's your responsibility to make the change. 🛡️ #ITSec is a process that begins with your #Commitment to it, and the #Internet is no sandpit (anymore).
We need #openhardware with #bluetooth so we can link them it to #MyGNUHealth.
Currently we have @pine64eu smartwatch, but we'd love to integrate scales, glucometers, blood pressure monitors...
Just reply to this toot or send us a message if you know of any device. We'd love to test them!🤗 #GNU#GNUHealth#pinephone#PineTime
