the NTP foundation (yeah the time thing) is begging for scraps of cash, like a few thousand dollars - a low level manager at amazon, google, apple and meta could each whip out the corp credit card, give them $5k each and problem solved, but no, they're too far up their own arse to do that

It's been a good day off today. We had to take Jose to the dermatologist to check his paws. He's doing well and we won't have to go back for a year. We just have to have bloodwork done locally and send it to the specialist. He'll stay on his same med regimen. Then we went to the Blue Ben diner for breakfast. Sooo good! I had chicken fried steak, scrambled eggs, home fries and a biscuit. I took the biscuit home as it is huge and I was full. Then I came home and relaxed. It's been snowing all day. First snow of the season.

I think it’s worth taking a moment to appreciate all the non technical work that goes behind this announcement.

The KDE e.V. and broader ecosystem is mature enough to develop working relationships with a major vendor, and keep working with them!

Congrats to the whole @kde ecosystem for these massive news again!

I'm trapped in development hell at the moment. I need to run these Chef (CINC) kitchen tests on FreeBSD which is normally done with Vagrant and a VM by VirtualBox, but the tooling to do this doesn't run on FreeBSD. You'd normally execute this on Linux or MacOS.

I have no Linux machines available.

My Mac is Apple Silicon so its VirtualBox can only do aarch64 VMs which is not what I need (and won't work).

So, Valve, probably the biggest gaming company in the world, just announced 3 new pieces of hardware after the success of their last Linux-powered gaming handheld "Steam Deck".

A controller, a small little gaming desktop PC and a VR headset. All of them (aside from the controller of course) running SteamOS, a full Arch-based Linux OS with KDE Plasma.

Excited to see so many new people potentially see how cool Linux is when it ships early 2026!

@jakob Apparently they'll be using github.com/FEX-Emu/FEX for that. The idea of using 2 translation layers makes me worry about performance, but then again, Proton does way better than I expected too, so I'm carefully optimistic it'll end up fine enough. We'll see.

We were surprised to hear today that Forbes.ru (a subsidiary of the global Forbes brand it seems) recently published an article quoting an expert recommending to use #deltachat on the backdrop of restrictions of Signal, Whatsapp, Telegram, Discord and Viber in Russian networks.

DeltaChat *can* be used with mail servers that are government surveilled, but that is not at all the default path that users are exposed to.

Chatmail servers are run by volunteers across the world and even if one was run by a malicious admin they still couldn't learn anything useful about you except your IP address you used to send the message and a recipient address that could be on another server somewhere else on the planet they can't surveil

Its very much a durability thing, they last MUCH longer, and ontop of that, it looks like they are on their own daughterboard too which I think MIGHT ™️ make them more user repairable if they chose to sell replacements!

Thumbsticks are like the #1 thing to go on the controllers, I am on my 4th or 5th set of index controllers, all because of broken joysticks, all of them! ​:nkoRee:​
