For #RSS on #Android I just switched from Readrops to #CapyReader. It both is able to sync with #FreshRSS server, but Capy's UI better suits my needs.
Readrops looks fine, but it feels kind of wrong when using it. Especially in article listings. It seems like they use wrong UI components for the task.
Capy's UI feels less cluttered, more text focused. I better orient in the article titles. So far good work @_jocmp 👍️

I'm about to replace my MFP with a newer one that's laser instead of ink and has a feed tray and supports duplex for scanning. I scan a lot more than I print and having a feed input allows for bigger than the glass allows (which seems to be nearly every single item I want to scan).
Also having a feed input will probably (or more likely probably not) stop me from using it as a shelf as well.
The FreeBSD Foundation announced they're funding development of a new agentic AI based on an Alibaba model which will run in your kernel called Kirk.
There will be no way to remove it from the OS beginning with FreeBSD 16.0, because this model is completely replacing the TCP/IP stack and the CPU scheduler. All of these decisions will now processed by Kirk. Instead of being based on the time-tested monolithic kernel design, this will be the beginning of a new era of hybrid-cystolithic kernels.
I added livekit and lk-jwt-service to my #matrix homeserver so I can initiate calls and conferences.
Element X audio/video calling pretty much feels like Face Time. Better than Signal calls.
You prob know this already, but if you duck-search, you can go to a slightly different entry point at noai.duckduckgo.com to do web searches without AI slop dumping on you.
I see they've dressed up the landing page there! Now more obviously non-AI. I mean, it's a selling feature, so yeah, go to town guys.
(if you still google things, consider the duck search! it's worked well for me for years, and the non-ai version is a nice step forward).

“In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.
Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.”

Huh, that's interesting. It always used to skip back to the beginning for me.
I have recently figured out that I can somehow still get a student YT premium subscription through my employee account, because SheerID apparently doesn't check permissions for us properly, so that's my workaround now.

That's only 1.x, right? No plans to get rid of more modern ones?
(Don't expect you to, but it's been my experience that it's better to ask than to indirectly assume all will be fine...)

Oh, good. It's driving up spinning rust prices too.
Hard drive prices are spiking because of "ai." Prices have jumped 46% on average since September. The 24TB Seagate BarraCuda used to be $239 on sale, but it's now sitting at $500.Terminal Tilt (Climate Justice Social)

Supposedly a IBM board member once said there's a market for maybe 5 computers worldwide.
Maybe he was just very good at making predictions.
Five computers. MS, Amazon, Google, Apple, Oracle.

I'm happy to have some back & forth, receive new information from people, get called out if I'm fucking up, etc.
But I do not fucking need jerks who just want to cause problems wasting the energy which I could spend on good, important conversations.
