@ebassi oh yeah, tomorrow I will post how people can start setting their libravatar/gravatar images, so that people can move on from their hackergotchis on their own. End of an era tho. :)
Looking for a new laptop that runs Linux out of the box? Get a ThinkPad!
Lenovo has been offering ThinkPads with Fedora and @ubuntu preinstalled for a few years now. The more people who shop for these devices, the more attention they can give to this business!
Meanwhile an acquaintance boasted that a large tech company's codebase is being entirely analysed and combed for bugs using LLMs and that "it works so well" ... the mother of all code debts is what they are accruing, deservedly.
I just discovered the amazing Evertop project by @cobble2stone @ericjenott! Evertop is a portable PC that emulates an IBM XT with an 80186 processor and 1MB RAM, running DOS, Minix, and other old 1980s operating systems, including Windows up to version 3.0. Powered by a low-power microcontroller and an e-ink display, it can run for hundreds or even thousands of hours on a single charge, thanks to its built-in solar panel and extreme power-saving measures. It's loaded with built-in peripherals like a keyboard, PS/2 ports, graphics support, audio output, serial ports, USB, Ethernet, WiFi, and LoRA radio. Charging options include a solar panel, DC input, and micro USB. It features a detachable keyboard, optional hibernate, and power shutoff. Storage is via SD card, and it's powered by an Espressif ESP32 microcontroller. Compatibility includes almost all IBM PC/XT compatible DOS software from the 1980s and early 90s. There's also a minimal version, "Evertop Min," which reduces weight and cost by removing some features. I'd love to see a model with a Raspberry Pi Zero for more productivity-focused tasks. Let's see if someone is already working on something similar! #Evertop #RetroComputing #PortablePC #OpenSource #DIY #TechInnovation #Emulation #OffGridComputing #ESP32 #RaspberryPi #Minimalism #Productivity #EInk #solar #solarpanel #Typewriter
HOLLYWOOD, CA - After accidentally watching the South Korean film Parasite on Air Force One, Donald Trump has signed an executive order placing a 100% tariff on any movie that forces him to read.
This was only possible thanks to various other contributors, such as Jakub Steiner, who did a fantastic job with the design and style, and Alexandre Franke, who helped with various papercuts, ideas, and improvements.
As with any software, there might be regressions and issues. It would be a great help if you report any problems you find at gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Website…
[WIP] This is an implementation of Planet that uses a static website/feed generator and publishes as GitLab Pages Publishing address https://teams.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/websites/planet.gnome.org...
Some GNOME websites are getting modernized and simplified, but Planet GNOME has fallen behind. Not anymore. I started a prototype for a Python script to publish Planet GNOME with GitLab Pages/CI.
As Planet GNOME Editor, I am often asked to look for blog and syndication issues I couldn’t really address due to limited server-side access. With this, debugging indexing issues should be easier as it is just about looking at the CI job output.
Also, the Planet website is perceived as messy and outdated. So this work allowed Jakub Steiner to quickly jump in and restyle the page from a clean state.
Try it live at felipeborges.pages.gitlab.gnom… and let me know what you think. Keep in mind this is a proof of concept. Tips, feedback, and contributions are welcome in the project repo.
This still doesn’t produce the global Planet rss feed, just the webpage, but that’s in my TODO list too.
P.S.: I know feed readers/parsers can over-request rss/atom feeds. So I plan to cache data and use metadata to avoid redundant downloads before this is even considered as a replacement for the current Planet implementation. No worries. 😉
We’re thrilled to announce that Xogot, our native port of the Godot game engine for iPad, is now available on the Apple App Store!

This story bundle with many African scifi books, including mine, ends in 16 days. If there are any "book influencers" here, or perhaps you want to run a campaign of some sort and need to give people a gift or bonus or something, let me know and I can get you gift codes.

This talk covers the obvious issue of long-term identities and the
construction of the social graph and how some protections supposed to thwart the
social graph recovery are flawed.
No worries :) No new vulnerabilities will be presented: most things were previously discussed or are publicly documented. The idea of this talk is to compare the different approaches and trade-off of the reviewed protocols to give the audience a feeling about how well their metadata is protected, and to give developers ideas about improvements the other messengers already implemented. But I do want to reach out to ensure what I am gonna say is correct and does not misrepresent the security levels of each network.

"Maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls." Trump's recent comment on tariffs joins a long list of presidential statements that left Americans shaking their heads. A journalism professor shares some examples: buff.ly/NvlvzEg
Turns out, presidents − just like the rest of us − sometimes say embarrassing things. Or mean things. Or clueless things. Certainly things they regret.
A history of music album art. “Before most people owned a TV set, Steinweiss’s album covers were affordable multi-sensory entertainment. Looking at the album cover & listening to the music created an experience that was more than the sum of its parts.” matthewstrom.com/writing/album…
I have never laughed quite so maniacally at a video before, but this takes the... Well, biscuit. You'll see what I mean. Probably should avoid drinking when you get to it though. Thanks @MoonCat for alerting me to this.
just a heads up, those sandisk external SSDs are notoriously bad and there have been lawsuits over it. I've had one fail on me last year. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/0…

LibreOffice isn't just an app – it's about defending our rights to access technology without barriers, to maintain control over our own files, and to study, modify and redistribute tools we use.

On April 26, 2025, the Estácio University Center in Brasília – Taguatinga-DF Unit, was the stage for a remarkable moment in the promotion of technological freedom in Brazil.
