I'm about to redo my Linux installation on my 2015 Macbook air, so for fun, I'm removing as many packages as possible while the system is still booted. It's the equivalent of rm -rf / but a lot more methodical. I already got rid of grub* and linux*, which has almost certainly made the system un-bootable, but it's still booted for the moment. Then I ran a loop to get rid of the largest installed packages one at a time, to avoid any "I will not remove essential system packages" errors. Somehow, the system is still running.

Attention all #macOS users of #RemoteIncidentManager:
As you may be aware, Apple is releasing macOS #Sequoia today. Every effort is being made to ensure Remote Incident Manager’s readiness for Sequoia as soon as possible. At the time of writing, we are hard at work addressing some challenges brought about by Sequoia. In particular, a new permissions condition currently strongly impacts the long-term viability of unattended sessions on Mac targets. The remote accessibility module on Mac targets has also been impacted. We are currently in talks with Apple support concerning these issues, and it is our hope to have a solution ready in due course. However, at this time, we strongly recommend remaining on macOS Sonoma if at all possible. We further recommend that you advise any Mac users you provide support/training to to hold off on updating to Sequoia as well. We will keep you apprised of further developments, and will give an all clear once Rim can be pronounced fit for use on Sequoia.
We apologize for any inconvenience, and we thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Am I the only one who thinks pass keys are completely overrated? As a user of a password manager, and 2fa everywhere I can, I don't see where these should be more secure. And cool, they are stored somewhere randomly on my device, or something, but idk if they can be synced between my iPhone and my PC and what this all should be generally.

They’re pretty great if you sync them in your password manager, then it's 1-click login everywhere.

Is it me, or is this the first time that a MacOS version was released simultaneously with the iOS and iPadOS software versions?

Hi! Sorry, we have identified it as a bug, and we are working to solve it.

This is a short tutorial video on how to receive events/tasks almost instantly from your @nextcloud on your Android device using DAVx⁵ and our new Push functionality.

1. You'll need to activate this Nextcloud app:

apps.nextcloud.com/apps/dav_pu…

2. Install a @unifiedpush distributor on your Android, then select it in the DAVx5 settings.

3. Deactivate and reactivate a calendar resource in DAVx5 in the details view of a resource and wait 5 seconds. "Subscribed" should appear, and you're ready.

Outstanding work, this is a very welcome change.

Followed the tutorial and now see Push Support as Subscribed for CalDAV entries. Should the Push Support info also show for CardDAV? So far not seeing that info in CardDAV.

So I'm still working on my Woms clone for the browser, all free software and all that good jazz.

I'm tempted to write a little blog post on what I've done so far. It would mostly be around

1) destructible 2d terrain
2) particles
3) pixi.js and physics

Would that be interesting to folks?

The idea is to keep the pulse high the whole week, so there will be a trurl release (and associated release video) on Thursday.

Me sorprende el cero hype que me produce el tema de la IA siendo yo un frikis de la tecnología que se ha criado con peliculas de ciencia ficción y leyendo a Asimov. Es cierto que es increíble pero como mi objetivo es mejorar el mundo le veo más mal que bien en el contexto actual. Con ese objetivo lo que si me fascina es el software libre.

😲 Kyle Kabasares, a Physics PhD graduate working at NASA's Ames Research Center, gave the methods section of his research paper to ChatGPT O1 Preview and asked it to generate the code based on the description.

@vick21 He has PhD in Physics. I have no idea if he has extensive background in programming, or how complex his code was. I guess the point is that if you know how to ask with the right prompt and quality check the output from LLMs, someone like him doesn't have to spend a year on coding and instead focussing on something else. Having said that, I have o1-preview, and it's great! The main drawback is you only get 30 messages per week. :)

@vick21 He raised that question in the video. He said he migrated his code to Github, but it's a private repo. Maybe Microsoft handed over private repos to OpenAI too? lol Even if the model had his code as part of training data, he was very impressed with the output.

I heard about One's capabilities from coWorkers. They are quite impressed. I don't have Plus subscription though...

I grew up a few km away from the border to France. My classroom was 100 meters away from the Rhine. I was in 9th grade when they opened the borders. I was in 12th grade when they introduced the Euro. Visiting other countries in the EU suddenly felt truly magical. "Fuck you" to all politicians in this country who are currently destroying this magical idea for pure populism, to appease some fascists. It's all about staying in power - as if that helped - and I couldn't despise them more for it.

Chrome on the Mac uses less battery than Safari

It's one of the most pervasive common wisdoms shared all over the web, no matter where you go - it's one of those things everybody seems to universally agree on: Chrome will absolutely devastate your battery life on the Mac, and you should really be using Safari, because Apple's special integration magic pixie dust sprinkles ensures Safari sip

Buenos días, fedi, y en particular residentes en las Españas.

Hoy se abre la convocatoria de becas de Colegios del Mundo Unido (CMU en español, UWC en inglés). Se trata de becas para estudiantes que estén cursando ahora 4º de ESO o 1º de Bachillerato, para cursar durante dos años el Bachillerator Internacional en uno de los 18 colegios internacionales, repartidos por todos los continentes, de la organización.

Yo estudié en el de Noruega (UWC Red Cross Nordic College) y además de una oportunidad única fue una experiencia inolvidable. Si conocéis a alguna persona en situación de solicitar estas becas y con inquietudes e interés por conocer otras culturas y asumir estar 2 años fuera estudiando en inglés, por favor hacédselo llegar.

Tenéis más información en: es.uwc.org/

Impulsos bienvenidos y agradecidos.

A Discord is not a substitute for a website. Or a support forum. Or an issue queue.

Or really pretty much anything besides maybe IRC or Matrix if you're not worried about the openness of the chat platform.

Something I've thought about for awhile on the fediverse... I know many people would like to see quote posts implemented like on Twitter, but I wish discussions about this were less focused on the specific affordances of twitter.

I really like tumblr-style reblogs, because they have one key difference: the original poster's post comes *first*. A quote post privileges the quoter's position, and lets them influence how you'll read the quoted post. A reblog has you read the original post first.

I'm sceptical of the quote posting functionality and would probably disable it for my posts, but the way you describe it I think would be good. To me it's similar to the top-posting phenomenon in email (which I dislike and breaks logical flow) versus bottom-posting, which is nice.

While we're still not moving as fast as I'd like with Circle reviews, I'm happy that we managed to get 6 new apps accepted during the 47 cycle 🥳

By the way, the Circle committee is always looking for new reviewers. If you're somewhat familiar with GNOME app development practices and design patterns and would like to help, please get in touch :)

Screenshot of 6 GNOME app windows of different sizes, somewhat overlapping, on top of the default GNOME 46 wallpaper. Left to right, the apps are Valuta, Tuba, Resources, Hieroglyphic, Biblioteca, and Binary.

@MapComplete btw, I got "yelled at" on OSM for adding a lot of images of menus in restaurants using MapComplete.
One of the reasons cited was not having a license for taking image of the menu and another was some restaurants not wanting to publish their prices on the internet.

While I don't agree with either of these arguments it might be useful to add a hint about asking restaurant staff about publishing these images.

I'd be very curious about opinions on the topic in any case!

Well, that sucks!

I'm not particularly worried about copyright, because:

- Often, there is very little creative work involved in creating a menu, thus copyright does not apply
- As restaurant, you do have create and have to publicly publish your menu in your normal operations, so database rights don't apply as well
- At last, the picture is actually saved on imgur. As such, they will get the takedown request ;)

I think there can be pretty designs on menus, so copyright can apply there I feel

I agree with the other points though, we don't worry about copyright infringement on wikidata either, that is handled on their side!

Hi, all.

I realize this is a far cry from my usual posts, but I'm desperately trying to find work, as I know are so many others.
I don't have a wide range of interests, but anything that will make my CV more interesting is a plus, so I'm on the hunt for a potential list of free and accredited online courses.
If anyone knows where I can find something like this, please please let me know. I'll do anything to fill my time if it feels within reach of my current skillset, and hopefully that skillset can slowly expand as a result.

Anything helps. Thank you in advance.

No geographic restrictions or proof of disability necessary, as far as I know.

This is a good suggestion. The Deque courses are not perfect, and I wouldn't want to shoehorn all blind people into accessibility work. Nevertheless, the industry does need more disabled representation, from people who truly take it upon themselves to know what they're doing, and are able to incorporate but look beyond their own experiences. @Estrella
