The problem with saying "Linux doesn't work" is that it's incorrect.
Folks are always surprised to hear that I've been doing music, videos, and gaming on Linux for decades.
Biggest thing is that I *only* buy hardware that works on Linux, and I *only* use software that works on Linux.
What you mean when you say "Linux doesn't work" is that "Linux doesn't work for me." But that's not rage-baity enough to attract attention.

VHSky.cz vzniklo jako PeerTube instance pro komunitní videoobsah. Rok 2025 byl prvním rokem, kdy se ukázalo, že má smysl projekt dělat dál. Proč vlastně PeerTube? 🤔 YouTube se stal faktickým monopolem na video hosting.archos (Oscloud News)

A late and final Very Special Episode of Other People's Music is here. This FINAL installment of 2025 (yeah, I'm taking Xmas off) is a look back at what it was like to review 250 independent music releases this year, including a look at a few I kept coming back to

The other day I took a massive step into the kitchen over a doorstep that's no longer there, and just now I turned on the wrong light because that gang switch used to have a different order.
As these both of these things changed in spring 2024, I can only assume my mind is refusing to believe it's nearly 2026 and is trying to return to a time when things were marginally less awful.

When the European Commission approached us about funding a bug bounty for BIND 9, we were impressed with the proposal. We have a policy against bug bounties (because we were frustrated with people wasting our time), but under this proposal, the YesWeHack team would do initial triage, and use their expertise to minimize the 'slop' reports. This is a game-changer for a small development team.
The bounty program is active, and we are looking for our first valid report.

I just gave Codex an explicit instruction to perform a web search, without actually enabling the web search feature itself (I have it configured with full network access enabled).
It just started hitting random search engine APIs via Curl (it gave up with DuckDuckGo, but tried Jina.ai and that worked).

Я знаю что я дурачок наверное, но чета мне так хочется сделать многопользовательскую онлайн игру с квестами, гриндом, всякими штуками и механиками, с лутом, и конечно с циферками (в которых я правда ничего не смыслю).
Пока-что в планах сделать что-то вроде #webfishing но с фермерством, но у меня этот проект в голове как то не укладывается и не представляется особо.

I went on a blocking spree today. I was scrolling through the Silent Sunday posts and blocked folks who routinely post images with no alt text. It's so frustrating to see a great image and no alt text, and I just don't need that annoyance.
But I was pleased to note that such folks were a distinct minority. Yay for everyone using alt text!

It’s been a looong while.
Since my last post I have:
🐶 Switched jobs to another doggy daycare.
🐶 Gone from five days a week to four. This is to make time to…
🐶 Study the dog trainer course I have started with PACT. It’s been a slow start, but I’m being consistent.
🐶 Gained a best friend in an anxious cockapoo called Glenn. This is him below, chilling after shouting at a child.
Life’s pretty busy, my head’s all over the place, but I’m moving forward.
Windows User: My computer froze again. I have to restart it for the third time today
Linux User: That’s rough. My system has been running for 3 years straight without a single crash
Windows User: Wow! What have you been doing with all that uptime?
Linux User: Trying to get my usb ink printer to work 😅

My screen reader just spoke the following text:
Make 2026 the year you sound like a pro level slider.
yes, I'll definitely be doing that. Amateur level sliders are just terrible, and they suck.
of course, this was an email with the level slider emoji, 🎚️ right after the word pro.

in reply to Veronica Explains • • •A problem I have with every "I tried Linux for two weeks and could never make it work" video thing is that folks position themselves as the default, everyday computer user.
But they're not! Jeeze folks! They're already knee deep in Windows/Mac software if they have a YouTube channel where they make videos on Windows/Mac!
These folks have production workflows that they don't want to change. If that's not you, you can disregard their rage-bait!

in reply to Veronica Explains • • •I don't "make Linux and FOSS work for me." Years ago, I *chose* to work with Linux and FOSS.
I just switched, and if things required Windows or a Mac, I didn't do those things. I did other things instead.
My priorities welcomed that choice. Yours might not. That's OK! But it doesn't mean Linux can't do it.
It'd be like saying "my bicycle can't haul a tractor, therefore bicycles are worthless." You'd sound absurd. That's what they do. Because rage sells.
