Es ist wieder Zeit für eine Umfrage! Dieses Mal möchten wir von euch wissen: Welche Plattform nutzt ihr für Gruppenchats?

Falls ihr mehrere Plattformen nutzt, stimmt bitte für die ab, die ihr im Alltag am häufigsten verwendet. Sollte eure liebste Plattform nicht zur Wahl stehen, freuen wir uns über eure Kommentare.

Sobald die Ergebnisse feststehen, werden wir diese in einem Artikel auf GNU/Linux.ch auswerten.

The 🐑 0.10.0 is out!
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2023-05/msg00180.html

It’s a major overhaul of the internals leading to (I think!) a more pleasant user experience.

One of the maintainers has blocked me for my vocal support for , without any confrontation or interaction between the two of us. As a long time activist in the International Solidarity Movement, I'm used to it, but I was under the impression Guix is a more open & progressive project than what is the norm for and

Seems to confirm those bad interactions I started having every time I chimed in on the mailing list over the past two years were in fact people trying to push me out, rather than just people having bad days.

The GNU folks: Hehehe, we called it GIMP. And the main branch is called master. Because GIMP, get it?! We couldn’t possibly change it because fart noises

Also GNU folks: Why does everyone think we’re three misogynistic 12-year-old boys in a neckbeard suit?

There are so many low hanging fruits for you folks to embrace inclusivity and make a dedicated effort to clean up your act but you seem too bloody busy pissing all over the tree to mark your territory.

Comprare caricabatterie nuovo: 20€

Cambio di batterie fatto da me: Gratis
Aggiornare da Fedora 35 a 38: Gratis

Rimettere in vita un laptop del 2010 per insegnare ad usare Linux ai gemelli, nonostante macOS lo avesse reso inutilizzabile da 5 anni, non ha prezzo.

Per tutto il resto bastano un paio di cacciaviti, qualche decina di euro e ringraziare tutta la community del software libero :gnu: :linux: :fedora: ♥️

About to upgrade 142 packages in Trixie. Wish me luck! LOL! #Debian #GNU #Linux #ComputerPlay

You are in a very small, very clean apartment. You see a #blind #gay man sitting at a desk. He is shirtless and wearing a pair of large cans. He is singing Ace Of Bass in very loud, very bad falsetto. No wonder he didn't hear your entrance. There's a glass of #wine at his right hand. His left is fidgeting with something. There are shelves above the desk. On the top, you see an AM-FM broadcast receiver, a small #HamRadio transceiver, a power outlet strip, and a small #audio recorder. You turn your attention to the laptop.

>> read screen

You notice a distribution of #GNU #Linux with the Mate desktop. There are three windows open. The foremost is a vlc open on a playlist. Behind this, you see two text editors and a firefox. One editor has what looks like an #introduction post for Mastodon. The other has a #DND5E character sheet, in progress. The firefox has the DND wiki. On one of two easy chairs, you see #LGBTQIA #Pride graphic tees. You realize there's nothing worth stealing, so, you quietly exit.

has always intrigued me ever since I learnt about it a decade or so ago. Back then it looked super intriguing and offering flexibility that goes even beyond Linux', but it was also much more limited in hardware support.

I recently looked it up again and it seems its development has slowed down (even more).

If anyone uses it, I'd love to hear your experience!

Did you know that Linux-libre is a version of the kernel named Linux that's free from proprietary software? As the mascot and spokespenguin of Linux-libre, I'm proud to represent the commitment to software freedom that this project embodies! https://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/

SinclairSpeccy, to debian

Let's see how this goes.

What was the first version of you ever used? This can count for distros too that are based on Debian.

My first usage of Debian was using Mint. Was one of the distros that runs well on my iMac after I removed Lion from it

In the Q&A, someone asks Hinton about the ethical dilemmas of #LLM training on copywritten data, to which he responds that he's only done research on the existential risk of AI and others understand the ethical arguments surrounding #labor issues better than him, so he has no comment.

Next someone asks his opinion on #FOSS LLMs to which he responds:
"If these things are going to be dangerous it might actually be better for just a few big companies — I don't work for #Google anymore so I'm not saying this on their behalf — but it might work out for a few big companies, preferably in several countries, to develop this stuff along with ways of keeping it under control. As soon as you #OpenSource anything, people will start doing all sorts of crazy things with it; it will be a really quick way to learn how far things can go wrong"

Um, wasn't this figured out back in 2007? It's called #AGPL, the AI-safe #gnu license that demands that anyone who interacts with the programs built from modified source code have readily-available access to that very source code.

Call me crazy, but I'm much more compfortable with software that everyone can audit than trusting a few corporations who are wreaking havoc on the planet as we speak.

While I agree with the @fsf warning about the emblematic value of the decision by to pull support for from , their article <https://u.fsf.org/3z8> is as empty as could be, especially considering that doesn't support JPEG XL either (being based on a branch that doesn't build support in.) You want to show that can do without? Do it by actually supporting what you complain Google is failing to.

I find it truly baffling how, despite the inherent security and unwavering stability of / systems, coupled with the abundance of / alternatives available for commonly used applications, there is still a prevalent tendency among individuals to persist in the use of the operating system...

You can try a GNU Hurd kernel based operating system made with Guix in your browser:

Richard Stallman reveals he has cancer in the GNU 40 Hacker Meeting talk https://audio-video.gnu.org/video/gnu40/rms-gnu40.webm It's disheartening to hear the news. I sincerely hope for his speedy recovery and wish him all the best. He is a crucial figure in the current era of SaaS and cloud computing, especially with the abundance of unreliable AI generators controlled by big tech. It's a tough situation.

Before executing important commands and scripts over , use in case of disconnect. If your connection drops or you close the terminal, you can SSH back in and enter screen -r to recover from where you left off. Being reunited with that hanging command prompt will be a relief!

Today for lunch I drank this excellent vegan organic white wine "Pecorino" from Abruzzo. 🍷🇮🇹
Then I noticed the symbol on the bottle. 🍥🐧
