Lmao. A couple days ago I was making an "enshittification collage" for a meme in a presentation and I just. couldn't. for the life of me, find a goddamn screenshot of a specifically "thousand partners" cookie banner using online image search […] [Original post on social.treehouse.systems]

hey #lazyfedi why are pendrives always so horrendously hot and power-hungry? is it… is it all just waste heat from regulating 5V all the way down to some low 1.x with fucking LDOs or something??

Hey I’m the developer of the Bazaar App Store! I absolutely love making Bazaar, it brings me a lot of joy. :) Unfortunately I’m in a bad financial situation right now and my only source of income is from donations. I absolutely hate asking for money but it’s been kind of rough for me lately, so […]

nuclear hot (but also centrist?) take: projects taking big money from "ai" to do general things that only tangentially could be helpful for "ai" is _good_ …… but they still need to be bullied for it. that's just the counterweight for all the bad brought by the association, for any "strings […]

LMAO I was wondering what was up with the extruder temperature reading going haywire on my 3d printer (BIQU BX), if it was cold air entering from outside or the thermistor somehow going bad… one reddit post said "it's the HDMI cable" (haha yes the print head is connected with that) unplug […]

In better news, a (very silly) source of excessive battery drain under Linux on Snapdragon #aarch64laptops was found, and it was totally external to the SoC: the superspeed retimers (Parade PS883x) were always on even with no USB3/DP devices plugged in, lol. And those little things are really […]

The #GitHub Slopocalypse is really real. I didn't even see the mangled merges thing, I was just typing a PR description yesterday and the text composer just went nuts! The WORLD'S BIGGEST CODE FORGE is going absolutely DOWN THE TOILET in quality […] [Original post on social.treehouse.systems]

if david "not enough white people" railsson can get a free framedork 13 mega epic edition, can someone tell lenovo to send me a yoga slim 7x with the x2 elite? i don't make silly prepackaged arch configs but i write device trees and land them in linux sooo

People with #adhd have three types of workday: * Get absolutely nothing done * Get 4 hours of work done at a random point in time * Get 40 hours of work done in 4 hours All types are sprinkled with work unrelated sidequests

i wrote an internet standard https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-meow-mrrp-00.html (it's published on ietf so you know it's real and official and endorsed by the ietf)

The GNU GPL (Graphics Processing License) is a license that gives GPU manufacturers the patent rights necessary to process graphics, in exchange for paying a fee to the GNU,

Anthropic is a "Public Benefit Corporation"??? Lol. Lmao. Everything in "AI", gambling, mass surveillance, fossil fuels, tobacco and cars should be forced to bear the "Public Harm Corporation" label. And pay a corresponding massive special tax, of course. But the label is important too.

ML-KEM (Machine Learning Key Encapsulation Mechanism)

So for quite some time I've had this plan to make an app for live demos on stage that's basically a nested wayland compositor but with friendly buttons to mirror it to a projector but today I got up with such a perfect vision for the UI including the greatest design crime yet and I already did a […]

lobste.rs needs to automatically move all vibecoding links to a spinoff instance called slopste.rs

what the fuck lmao CIX announced an overclocked version of the CD8180 marketed specifically as an "OpenClaw CPU"??? (link) might as well call it DeleteMyEmailsCPU lol

Absolutely hilarious, can't believe it actually happened… I went to read @expede 's great article about a deadlock prevention library and it uhhhhhhhh deadlocked my Firefox?? Clearly Mozilla should look into adopting surelock 🙃 (Well idk if it's […] [Original post on social.treehouse.systems]

Mac OS X v10.0 running on the Nintendo Wii. Amazing /via @Rairii https://bryankeller.github.io/2026/04/08/porting-mac-os-x-nintendo-wii.html

The cool thing about post-quantum cryptography is that people are trying to just preempt an entire future big-money thing from being relevant. I wish this could've been done with LLMs. Imagine if we had, somehow, "post-LLM" code, art, media, communications, language… Just making all the things […]

https://bmi.usercontent.opencode.de/eudi-wallet/wallet-development-documentation-public/latest/architecture-concept/06-mobile-devices/02-mdvm/ So, it turns out the German implementation of eIDAS (electronic ID wallet for e.g. age attestation) will require an Apple/Google account to function […]

Halftone (the dithering app) makes mobile linux photos look so good. This is like the early days of mobile apps again, except built to last and without any ads #postmarketos #shotonpmos

💭 the difference between "AI" and "ML" is whether it primarily benefits capital or labor

In preparation for daily driving #mobilelinux I've been thinking a lot about what must be done for reliable and power-efficient push notifications. Spoiler alert: while UnifiedPush may be a relevant service for some apps, it's not where platform dev focus should be. We want a future full of p2p […]

the age thing made the local timeline on treehouse like far worse than the federated timeline the block button is being really helpful right now

Very fitting that "Dissent" would have its chat bubble tail on the other side than other apps

Also hot take but the new #android sideloading unlock requirements are kinda reasonable. We'd literally need to implement something like that in mobile Linux once it reaches the mass market. (Like _actually mass_ not just a bigger niche.) Scams coercing people into installing malware is a VERY […]

Hilarious consequence of Linux APIs: if we make gnome-clocks vibrate on alarm via feedbackd, you know, on phones, which did that since before they became "smart"… it would also vibrate the rumble on connected game controllers! #postmarketos

wooooo

I guess #dlss now stands for "Daft Loser's SuperSlopping"

oh no, the entire United Kingdom would be put at huge risk if someone does anal…

Now we're cooking!! with 144Hz 🔥️ this will be the daily driving trial run device #postmarketos

I'm pleased to share with you the greatest advancement in bottom-sheet technology since the invitation of elastic.

Hahahaha turns out the I/O errors seen with SD cards in UHS mode on Snapdragon laptops were because the device tree was set up to effectively overclock the SD host controller… to _double the frequency_!! because the "original" clock source was used instead of the "divided by 2" one. It still […]

Read on Discord: "installed plasma-login-manager and now my pc starts in HDR mode and keeps it when logging in" My first (cursed) thought: looks like login managers now need to start doing HDR flashbang upon the user entering an incorrect password xD

[age verification; foss; abuse] Apparently it is time to say it again: You aren’t helping or achieving anything by squatting onto github/gitlab/irc/etc to tell people, that you think age verification is a bad idea. 1. Nobody involved thinks the laws proposed in some US states are a good idea […]

Absolutely absurd situation… I'm really struggling to restore Windows on a device made BY FUCKING MICROSOFT. (Surface Laptop 3 AMD.) The Surface recovery image just fails at 99% with a useless error. And the retail installer just doesn't see the NVMe drive and asks for drivers. (?!) #microslop

Y'all know what the real conspiracy is? While War is a distraction from Epstein, Slop is a distraction from the Gamblification of everything.

I guess #servo is now the only serious browser engine taking a stand against slop, even mentioning ethical issues? (Despite one bronze sponsor listed on the homepage being "somethingsomething AI" heh) We really need to get servo-gtk to a more serious state where epiphany could use it…

I wish I was making this up but today I've literally been unable to add my vacuum cleaner to my Tailscale network because Codeberg was down. (#hugops to the good people of Codeberg but this only reinforces my belief that we need to accelerate p2p development to obsolete alllllll client-server […]
