Attention ASL3 users: N8EI has tested and confirmed the audio problem in the ASL3 Raspberry Pi Appliance, and has provided a temporary fix to hold the kernel packages back, until a more permanent fix can be made for future kernels.

Audio Problems similar to X86_64 latest kernel in latest Raspberry Pi Appliance Kernel

Yeah, that gremlin has popped up in the latest Pi image. Everyone running a Pi should immediately: apt-mark hold linux-image-rpi-v8 apt-mark hold linux-headers-rpi-2712 apt-mark hold linux-headers-rpi-v8 apt-mark hold linux-image-rpi-2712

Great if you look at legal documents or financial documents (invoices & bank statements especially) that SHOULD be private.

I'm skipping #FOSDEM this year, but the #XMPP Standards Foundation will be there! Stop by the Realtime Lounge¹ to chat about XMPP, pick up some merch, and maybe grab a #Conversations_im sticker—while supplies last! 🚀

I agree that xmpp connections work reliable. But a point is that users can not know which server is properly configured, can they?
edit: I mean client to server connections. Unfortunately the protocol is not reliable regarding server to server connections.

I've seen people promoting Feburary, 1st 2025 as a #globalswitchday to leave questionable services.

If you are thinking of switching your instant messaging app: Please consider switching to #XMPP to enhance your digital sovereignty.

A picture with a text on the left side: "Imaging that you can switch your instant messaging app whenever you want to and you can still communicate with each of your contacts in encrypted chats and groupchats. XMPP - The Open Messaging Standard". On the right side there are logos of the XMPP apps Quicksy, Monal, Conversations, Snikket, monocles chat, Gajim, Dino and a text saying "... and many more". The apps are connected via an XMPP logo which shows that all those apps can communication with each other because they are using the same standard. There is an additional text on the right side saying "The apps are ready. Are you ready too?".

It seems to me that popular developer sentiment has been shifting away from packaging of software by Linux distributions, and toward direct packaging by upstream developers (as they do for other platforms), for a while. Here's the most recent anecdote I read, about a bug involving Wine and Debian: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4… This developer clearly thinks that the distro packaging model in general is a bad idea. I'm sympathetic to this perspective. 1/?

On the server side I think Docker builds have been responsible for this. I used to use Debian packages for Mailman but in Mailman3 its such a mess imho I just use a venv with Pip. I don't know anyone who does use those Debian packages and I kind of feel sorry for the maintainers as they are doing a lot of work and the advise on the support list is not to use it.

Email leaked to Ken Klippenstein telling NOAA employees that their course material can’t contain ANY of the following words in order to remain complaint with Trump’s executive order on DEI.

The party than ran on freedom and speech and avoiding censorship now actively censoring people.

Every word breaks my heart… but I want to pause on the inclusion of “empathy”.

The fact that they can’t use the word empathy is a perfect encapsulation of this whole administration.

Re: last boost (on "Rationalist" cults: maxread.substack.com/p/the-ziz…), the part that most concerns me is the last section, which argues that a bunch of individually good personal qualities, when combined, tend to leave people vulnerable to sophistry and, by extension, cults.

I think that this reading is … incomplete. One of the personal qualities required here is straightforwardly negative, which is to say, a perverse level of intellectual humility and an inability to recognize cognition itself as a process with a cost. There is a ton of “I can imagine X, therefore X is inevitable”, ignoring of physical limits, assuming that the starts of sinusoidal curves are all exponential forever… the movement is rife with faith, they just call faith “logic”

@glyph I keep thinking back to one thing you mentioned in this thread from a few weeks ago, "a perverse level of intellectual humility". I think after rejecting the religion and politics I grew up in, I spent a long time thinking that questioning everything was a must. And that has led me, at times, to question things I probably shouldn't, like the belief that it's worth firmly and persistently advocating for accessibility.
