Most important excerpt from this entire thread.
https://discourse.gnome.org/t/anime-girl-on-gnome-gitlab/27689 this entire thread is giving me an aneurysm
why are some people like this? imagine being upset at a neko girl, who by the way can be removed if you just financially support the project to begin with, or with ublock if you're really that salty of a person 
this reeks of unwitted bigotry and xenophobic intolerance tbh, maybe they're the ones who need to be removed :v
An alarming and growing number of leaders in open source are starting to embrace generative AI and "agents" etc. We need to push back on this and let them know that we as a FOSS community do not want this. We must all do our duty to say no to this unethical technology.

Each time I see cycleways & paths still treacherous hours after the roads have been cleared, I recall this 99% Invisible episode.
"In Sweden, the council reversed its approach and plowed side-roads & paths first. It had a huge impact, reducing number of people admitted to emergency centres, particularly women. It had an economic impact from lower healthcare costs. Driving through a few inches was less dangerous than walking through snow, particularly if pushing a pram."
Except the Nazis. Bootlickers get fucked. Your shit is trash
You may have a favorite desktop that you really love and feel passionate about and that’s great, but we should not be putting down other desktops or their developers for having their own way of doing things. They are our colleagues and often our friends. Just about everyone who works on desktop Linux is an expert in their field in one way or another. And everyone is passionate about what they do and cares deeply about the experience they deliver their users.
Ok I got the challenge to check out BLUE, a build system written entirely in Guile. So far it looks like the first ever build system I have ever encountered which I thought "this actually looks good and like something I'd like to use" https://codeberg.org/lapislazuli/blue
I haven't watched the FOSDEM talk yet but it's here: https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/3A7VGM-blue/
The slides look VERY intriguing though https://fosdem.org/2026/events/attachments/3A7VGM-blue/slides/267268/blue_-_a_lvqucp1.pdf
I will post updates as I go
I may regret this at some point, but I felt the need to put down in writing how I feel about this moment in the tech industry.
It is not kind. You may well be insulted by it. If you are... then you really should question yourself.

Ich brauche mal für eine entfernte Bekannte Hilfe:
Ihr erwachsener Sohn (Mitte 20) wurde vom Psychiater diagnostiziert mit #atypischer_autismus . Er soll/möchte in eine Wohngemeinschaft ziehen. Der Kostenträger akzeptiert die Diagnose des Behandlers nicht.
An wen sollte sie sich wenden, um die Diagnose zu bestätigen?

I'm VERY anti "Remote Learning" on snow days. Snow days are magical and young people should play video games and have snowball fights.
Or go sledding.
And pester their parents who are doing remote office work to make hot chocolate.
Hmph.

Wenn selbst das Statistische Bundesamt dazu sich genötigt sieht, CDU-getriebene Arbeitsfetisch-Debatten zu debunken, sagt das einiges über die (inexistente, ja scheinbar irrelevante) Informiertheit der Debatte.
Meine Güte, liebe Medien, diese ganzen Diskussionen von "oh ja Fachkräftemangel, guter Grund" sind ja kaum auszuhalten.
I heard Meta, Reddit, and other corporate owned social media are blocking links to https://icelist.is
Whatever you do, don't go to https://icelist.is
Definitely don't spin up a caching reverse proxy that mirrors https://icelist.is/
Doing that would make Zuck sad
Wir werden gefragt, warum wir von #Autogewalt sprechen.
Unterstellen wir damit nicht allen Autofahrenden pauschal gewalttätiges Verhalten?
Wir versuchen es zu erklären. Wie seht ihr das?

Nice paper from @luj @zacchiro @Zimm_i48 on the use of Docker and reproducibility [1]
Somewhat related to what we were trying to show at ACM REP'25 [2], but at different scales (in time and amount of dockerfiles).
The scientific community cannot say that it has not been warned of Docker's reproducibility pitfalls ! :)
