Just in case you had the slightest doubt about what Elon Musk is doing with X/Twitter, look at this brief thread. He is one of the true monsters of our era, and he uses X/Twitter to guide his fellow right-wing extremists to ever-more-extreme places. If you are still there, you should be ashamed.

Not a TUI elitist and I love OPNSense but trying to configure ddclient with their WebUI was an absolute nightmare and perfectly encapsulates why I generally prefer the terminal * Config options hidden on obscure tabs * Missing config options * Documentation doesn't say what the options […]

#askfedi does anyone know what the current status of #linux on #arm Snapdragon laptops is and whether there's a significant development effort to get it working? As a nerd, I'm contractually obligated to get a Framework for my next laptop, but holy moly 16Gb of RAM on a 2k OLED screen with 34 […]

The accumulated notes of all their meetings and standups will foam up about their waists and Confluence will look up and shout "Remember to respond - these teammates mentioned you!"...and I'll look down and whisper "No." Seriously though if anyone can teach me how to disable these emails I will […]
