That comic being shared here about El Salvador being the "first" American concentration camp betrays a terrible history and I'm deeply saddened that many don't seem to know it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internment_of_Japanese_Americans

The worst part about people basically driving @kev and @mike to consider shutting down fosstodon is that since Mastodon's account migration facilities are garbage, I will actually *lose* my historical presence on the fediverse if they shut down. The fediverse seems to be a meaner place than […]

Writing about my last ten years in the science of tech policy, I am reminded how designers & advocates perpetually imagine ourselves at the start of something new. It's a trap. I'm grateful for humanities training that draws me to history amidst deliberate amnesia. @ntnsndr explains this […]

Accountable language!

How did Fedora Linux get its start? While some of us have been and around the block (and have the CD boxes to prove it), here is a brief history of how Fedora came to be for those who want to learn. :) ➡️ https://fedoramagazine.org/the-fedora-project/ #fedora #linux #opensource

We are excited to have Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop as an official edition with Fedora Linux 42! * Plasma 6.3 brings better drawing tablet support, display improvements, and easier system monitoring * Some support to ppc64le architecture * x86 emulation for Arm systems (ty @AsahiLinux […]

When designers think outside the box. Studio Ghibli designed this DVD case to make it look like the characters are checking their reflection in the water. Sweet! #manga #studioghibli #dvd #characters #design

I boosted several posts about this already, but since people keep asking if I've seen it.... MITRE has announced that its funding for the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) program and related programs, including the Common Weakness Enumeration […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

Today we released a new pair of spins - Fedora COSMIC and Fedora COSMIC Atomic! Thank you to the folks at @COSMIC_desktop and @system76 for helping @ryanabx and the Fedora community make this happen. :) Fedora COSMIC Spin: https://fedoraproject.org/spins/cosmic Fedora COSMIC Atomic […]

MAJOR Victory in Montana! Bill that would criminalize parents with felony child endangerment DIES in Montana after 15 Republicans cross party lines. The bill would have criminalized even parents of trans kids driving through the state. It died after nonbinary rep Howell delivered a strong speech.

I'm getting tired of reading media reports that cast everything the POTUS does as "getting even" or "retribution." While he is certainly animated by animus, this overly simplistic story line once again makes it all about Trump, and it almost gives him a pass for the fallout from every new […]

URGENT: NC Voters! Don’t let Republicans erase your vote! Yesterday a NC court ruled that 60,273 voters from last year’s State Supreme Court election have 15 business days to fix their registration and make sure their vote is counted. One of those voters […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

3.5 Million people were marching in the streets of the US yesterday. That’s 1% of the entire population that came out. More than the populations of Vermont, Minnesota, Wyoming, North Dakota, and South Dakota combined. Almost the entire population of Austin, Dallas, and Houston together. The […]

A great burrito in the making! 🌯😋

Looks like M4 support for #asahilinux is going be rather painful. We’re still focusing on upstreaming M1/M2 support but other people have been trying to bring up m1n1 on M4 and it looks like a few things changed: When configuring a macho boot object we now get dropped into an environment where […]

Apparently Automattic are laying off around one in six of their workforce. And I'm one of the unlucky ones. Anybody remote hiring for a UK-based full-stack web developer (in a world that doesn't seem to believe that full-stack developers exist anymore) with 25+ years professional experience […]

Meet our new Fedora Project Leader, Jef Spaleta! As we're excited for Jef to support the community in this role, we also extend a big thank you to @mattdm (who is not leaving the Fedora community either!) ➡️ https://fedoramagazine.org/introducing-fedora-project-leader-jef-spaleta/ #fedora […]

I'm way too familiar with Brandolini's Law 😩

Upcoming Windows 11 builds won't have the ability to to install without internet connectivity and a Microsoft Account. https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2025/03/28/announcing-windows-11-insider-preview-build-26200-5516-dev-channel/

If more distros would ship their cloud images with btrfs by default, I would really appreciate it. I know xfs is the old legacy choice, but it's really past time to move on.

No, no, no. It is not a relatable cute fail. It's literally breaking the law to discuss classified government war plans on an unsecure system. Come on. The adding the journalist bit is not the part to focus on.

I'm in a meeting with someone that has "program manager" as job title and I'm like

🌶️ take: the phrase "cloud native" needs to just die in a fire. It's so meaningless and it's used as a gatekeeping device these days. I work on tools that make things that people consider "cloud native" or "container native" but apparently that's not enough to be considered either. 💢 And […]

Drop what you're doing and read this incredible story, which recounts how a reporter for The Atlantic was inadvertently included in a private Signal discussion group that appears to have included Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Vice President Marco Rubio and other administration officials […]

Funniest notification on my GNOME laptop...

I wish OpenID Connect (#oidc) didn't have the OpenID name in it. It doesn't function like #openid at all. 😦

The fact that there isn't just one #kubernetes distro, one filesystem, one package manager, one container runtime, all under the control of one company is a *feature* and not a bug. Aggressive vendor lock-in strategies* just don't work as well. Users having a choice to migrate and to get help […]

For example: Fedora, SUSE, and NixOS have all figured out how to do immutable #linux in their own awesome way. While I happen to appreciate how Fedora Atomic does it, as a Fedora user, I can also use the nix package manager and/or OpenSUSE's transactional-update if I really want to. Fedora […]

The older I get, the more I appreciate that there are different distributions of #linux and that there are multiple ways of doing things throughout the stack. #opensource is not a zero sum game and we're all better for it. Whether its commercial/enterprise, community, and/or hobbyist, it's good […]

Looking for assistance from the Fediverse Hive Mind. Looking for solid non-U.S. news sources. Sadly, they need to be English language. Looking for audio options, either podcast or internet radio. I have BBC. I have appreciated Al-Jazeera but don't trust their government. I have loved NPR and […]

Today, I've lost all hope. I just saw a pull request proposed by someone that was reviewed by an AI bot and the output of that bot was used to approve the PR to merge. We're doomed.
