A victory against the dystopian nightmare of facial recognition, Reddit drama might be good news long term, Google kills yet another service so muckyjpegs.com needs a new home, great KDE news, and more.

@okapi the other JB shows? Not sure what you mean by that.

@okapi @nilmethod oh right. Well I'm friends with the JB folks but the LNL family and 2.5 Admins are independent.

Remember how for years I've talked about how much I hate Reddit? Well now I'm finally vindicated.

On my iPhone 13 mini I’m seeing this notification a lot recently. At the weekend while driving, using the phone with CarPlay for navigation and music streaming, which I understand. But during the week it keeps popping up when the phone is on the desk inducting charger. Just me?

@popey my pixel 7 just turned itself off earlier while I was driving and using it for satnav. I had to put it in the cup holder and cool it down with the aircon for a few minutes before it turned back on again.

A great way to access documentation offline, moving Windows installations to new disks without breaking them, streaming VR games from a PC, replacing Pocket with a proper open source solution, living with Google’s flagship phone for a few months, and more.

Dalton spent 3 hours having fun playing with open source DJ software Mixxx, and wonders if the rest of us have had a similar amount of fun with FOSS. Plus a great idea for a challenge, and one that’s a terrible idea.

Why on earth would you publicly reply to a bigot if you're a prominent public figure, and why oh why did thousands of people boost that reply? 🤦‍♂️

We are unimpressed by Apple’s new headset, a particularly bountiful watering hole attack, misdirection from the AI industry, and connecting hard disks via a PCIe card.

Amolith attempts to argue that avoiding ads using open source software is piracy, and that piracy in this case is good.

Maybe as well as pride month we could have a day where we treat every single person with respect and dignity, and stay out of other people's personal lives because it's none of anyone else's business. Maybe that day could be EVERY DAY. 🤷‍♂️

RSS is alive and well, and powering Mastodon bots, (possibly) the best mouse for desktop Linux, and using the Stream Deck to automate desktop Linux.

What we’re excited about in the Linux and FOSS world, what we’re worried about, and what we can do about it. From the upcoming Plasma release to getting more young people involved. Plus what a long-standing bug with Snaps shows us about the open source ecosystem.

It's estimated that roughly 20% of all songs uploaded to streaming #music services have not even played ONCE.

That's literally tens of millions of songs sitting on servers, consuming storage space, and consuming electricity.

With the rise of #AI-generated tracks, look for those numbers to increase exponentially.

It's not just the onslaught of (most crappy/derivative) content we need to worry about -- it's the ecological footprint.

@killyourfm @be4foss @Linux4Everyone this is something I call "digital waste". It's not just music, it's YouTube videos no one will ever watch, blurry photos that no one will ever look at, backups of backups of backups that will never be used etc. But who gets to be the arbiter of what qualifies as digital waste and what doesn't? Not an easy question. An even harder question to answer is what can be done about it.

Let's say hypothetically there was a show where you could send in your questions for me and a couple of other hosts from the LNL family and they could be about literally anything except Linux and open source, what would you #AskTheHosts ?

Graphing pings in the terminal, streaming playstation games to your Linux machine, finding secrets and sensitive information in your repos, keeping your FOSS Android apps bang up to date, whether programming students should be using Linux, and loads more.

    Part 2 of our chat with @molly0xfff from Web3 is Going Just Great. This time we talk about Mastodon and the Fediverse, central bank digital currencies, cashless societies, the hype around AI, corporate surveillance, and more.

    Thunderbird shows that asking users for money works, Red Hat’s priorities seem to be moving away from the community, Mozilla is set to show the Fediverse how it’s done, Mastodon simplifies its onboarding experience, Linux is better than Windows on handhelds, Roblox stops working for us, a peek at the upcoming Plasma 6 release, and more.
