nice. But I'm still searching for an app that explicitly queries the none free Google play services location api. My #microG is no system app and can't register as system location provider.
in reply to Kurt

@Kurt I'm having microG as non-system app too (SHIFT6mq), but didn't see any such issues. But you can find some alternative apps here: android.izzysoft.de/applists/c…

The short story of curl CVE-2024-7264
dubek.space/posts/2024-08-04-c…

Excellent experience working with curl maintainers @bagder and @icing on the low severity vulnerability.



A few weeks ago, @mekkaokereke was telling you of our love of the English language in #Nigeria, and how we're unafraid of being eloquent. Need proof? Check out these "pithy" placards from the demonstrations currently going on in the country.

"Reverse all anti-people, neoliberal policies of privatisation, deregulation and devaluation of the Naira!"

Rolls off the tongue.

In fact, in #Nigeria we had a politician who was a prototype Boris Johnson - a comedic bombast who spewed Latin phrases liberally without a care whether his listeners understood a word he was saying.

Unlike Britain tho, we (and he) knew he was a clown and we didn't make him Prime Minister.

Krásné dobré ráno mastodoňata! 🙋‍♀️🐈🐕
Pár poznatků po čtrnáctidenní dovolené:
Ano, do práce se mi nechce.
Ano, pravdu měl ten, kdo tady psal 'winter is coming'! 😱
V pět ráno je chladno, je šero, je syrový vzduch.
Ženský, pro pánajána, v čem se teď chodí do práce? 🤣🤣🤣

Nebuďte zmatení jako Káťa, dejte si snídani....a hlavně.....klid! 😊

Jj přesně, sice letos nikam nejedem, ale na volno už se těším.


To by se békalo. Jenže víkend skončil a máme tady pondělí. Dnes bude ten první den v novém zaměstnání, tak si říkám “dokud se zpívá, ještě se neumřelo”🎼🎵🎶 #dobréRáno 🤗

system-ui is great for input fields but terrible for most other things.


I heard a discussion at #FOSSY24 regarding "FOSS outside of corporations," referring to the origin of the Free and #OpenSource software movement, beginning with hobbyists and foundations.

Thought I would also include the early contributions to FOSS from and through #HIgherEducation. Many foundational projects have their roots in #HigherEd.

So many people have worked on curbing climate change.
What have we got to show for it?

For starters: The projected warning has decreased by 0.9C. That's considering only actually implemented policies. Pledged emissions cuts go even deeper.

Is it enough?
No.

But we've gone from "It's all going to hell" to "We made good progress let's keep going, and faster."

New blog post! Debugging a rustc segfault using some very cool illumos debugging tools.

Really excited about this one, it is a bit long but there was so much to cover, from how the stack and the heap works to virtual address permissions :D

"Wir schätzen Ihre Privatsphäre" – jaaaa, gaaanz sicher! Und wir teilen sie…

Man beachte: Es gibt nur "Alles akzeptieren" – nix anderes. Friss oder stirb!

Unter "Zwekce" geht's dann weiter: 683 Anbieter fordern Zustimmung an. Aha. Laut Taschenrechner wollen also 891 "einfach mal so ohne". Toll. Das schätzen WIR nicht!

There's a project that has been going around today that uses an LLM to insult someone based on their GitHub profile. I admit I got caught up in the "fun" of this, and didn't think about how sad it is that we think it's cool to tear down each other or even ourselves.

Until I came across this contrasting project by @cadey, which instead uses an LLM to praise someone based on their GitHub profile: praise-me.fly.dev/

@FluidEscence It might feel less generic if the prompt included details about specific repos, like the prompt for the insult thing apparently does.
in reply to Matt Campbell

@FluidEscence I was going to do that, but I'm already hitting rate limits as it is!



New video!

So you're new to Linux, and you're wondering what the what is an ISO file? Or maybe you just don't know why you can't DD a CD?

Here's a video that explains a bit about ISO files, and how to create flash media from them.

wow.. that's such garbage. Ventoy's fine, but it's not the end-all, be-all.
Anyone who claims one shouldn't talk about other options because *thing* exists.. is just wrong.
in reply to Liam

It's weird that this happens in computing discourse, because relying 100% on one thing always leads to tears eventually.

Even weirder when it happens in FOSS circles, as FOSS is supposed to be all about alternatives and freedom of choice. It's like a few people actively want there to be monopolies? (Assuming it's not people from a project shilling for themselves of course.)




#curl's 265th command line option is called --skip-existing. Lets you completely skip a download if there is a local file present already.

SCAM ALERT: Data centers bring practically zero local jobs. They are a tax break scam everywhere they operate.

"Washington lawmakers approved a tax break for data centers to create more jobs in rural Washington, but they can’t say how many jobs the state actually got. Repeated expansions turned a modest program to bring a budding industry to rural areas into one of the biggest corporate tax giveaways in the state."
