Update 6 June

The Beta Network has launched and the first wave of testers are up and running. It’s taken a wee while, but we got there, just as David always knew we would. It could never have happened without the steadfast support of the community over the years.

Thanks to you the network has grown from our original 2,000 MaidSafe nodes to over 17,000 nodes and counting, our biggest by some margin.

📣🐍📚 Calling all Python library maintainers!

Python 3.13 is now in beta, with the second of four beta releases out later today!

It's now time to start testing your libraries with 3.13 and report any problems back to CPython so they can be fixed before the big October release. And make any updates you need to upgrade your library; keep an eye out for removals and deprecations.

Here's how to test 3.13 on GitHub Actions:

My neighbor told me yesterday that she believes the buyers of a Tesla #vehicle are just Beta Testers. And to make it worse, Tesla buyers pay a shit ton of money to be a #Beta Tester for a multi-Billionaire.

I'm having a hard time refuting her beliefs about this issue.

Android 15 Beta 1 has now been installed on my old Pixel 7 Pro as well as my Pixel 8 Pro.

Hopefully everything runs well, especially on the Pixel 8 Pro device since that's a daily driver device.

Hey who wants to try out a of TelemetryDeck Dashboard? I've been working hard on our new role and permission system and here's the first result:

While this version of TelemetryDeck looks almost completely similar to the released version, its underlying user, roles and permissions system is completely new.

Can you help me try this out? Log in here with your regular TelemetryDeck login and see if you can make things break:

Negli ultimi tempi ho sentito parlare sempre di più di #HaikuOS; per chi non lo conoscesse, è un sistema #UnixLike #OpenSource, purtroppo acerbo in stabilità e compatibilità ma estremamente promettente in termini di esperienza utente. Diciamo che è Linux senza strane inconsistenze e che non richiede di imparare tremila cose per essere usato, ma è anche estremamente più prestante del sistema desktop pinguinastico moderno medio (è una bugia colossale che Linux non abbia bloatware e che giri bene), oppure che è macOS senza gestione dittatoriale e senza cacca a forma di mela dentro… qualunque paragone preferiate. 😏️

Boh, vedo sempre di più che viene usato sui laptop, viene testato di più, proprio prima ho visto questo video di #ActionRetro che lo usa giornalmente su un Thinkpad. Volevo provarlo #BareMetal già credo anni fa, ma non funzionava, non voleva partire. Ma ora, visto che a pare siamo finalmente alla #Beta 4, e che le cose si stanno muovendo in termini di compatibilità sia hardware che software (tante applicazioni libere di uso comune per task disparate stanno venendo portate), ho provato a flashare la ISO live su chiavetta, avviarla sul mio portatile #Acer Aspire v3-572G, e, incredibilmente… 🤫️

https://octospacc.altervista.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/screenshot2-960x540.png

#Haiku funziona! Questa schermata l’ho catturata direttamente da lì, e ho #testato qualche cosa. Posso collegarmi al WiFi, anche 5 GHz, usare il terminale per collegarmi via SSH al server, la riproduzione audio funziona (ma ahimé non vanno le schede audio USB), e la grafica 3D anche (chissà se accelerata o meno). Il browser WebPositive è rottissimo e malperformante, ma mi sorprende funzioni abbastanza da permettermi di loggare in WordPress, superando il reCAPTCHA, e scrivere questo post tutto da lì (ma ho dovuto attivare il Classic Editor, quello moderno non inviava le modifiche al sito). In ogni caso, c’è Falkon sull’app store integrato, che usa il motore Chromium e dicono sia invece ottimo (e su Linux va OK). Non ho potuto installare cose da lì però, perché mi chiede di riavviare per applicare le modifiche (?), ma sono da live come detto prima. Magari poi installerò l’OS residente proprio sulla pennetta per provarlo meglio, per sfizio. La funzione per cambiare la luminosità del display però non funge, e non ho nemmeno provato cose riguardo la batteria. Il touchpad funziona quasi perfettamente, anche lo scorrimento con due dita (non scontato), ma non va purtroppo il click destro soft, e alla sensibilità massima è comunque lentissimo da muovere. I mouse USB funzionano però (duh). 🙃️

Edit dopo 2 minuti: LMAO è appena andato in kernel panic, dopo che il MicroBlog ha iniziato a dire che la sessione di login era scaduta, mi si sono aperte tante schede di login, e ho tentato di riavviare il browser… vabbé, può capitare.
