I bought an EV last year, and one of the things I wanted was an actual dash with buttons and switches. Couldn't find one. Everything is in the stupid bloody screens now, which I think is so much more dangerous as there's no tactile feel so you have to look away from the road.

Anyway, I ended up with a halfway house that has some buttons and switches. Next time around it's gonna be even more difficult.😞

I know it wasn't that long ago but now that COSMIC alpha 5 is out I might as well do another stream, as always I've found a fun bug before we even get started #Linux youtube.com/live/qy4l2v0RtPE

The rapper 2 Low, accidentally fired his gun through his jeans pocket during an appearance on the One on One with Mike D podcast. The firearm went off – thankfully causing no injuries – as 2 Low and the host, fellow rapper Mike D, were discussing the importance of making the right life choices. You don’t get that on The Rest is Politics.

Americans are nuts.

in reply to Carolyn

I knew a guy who showed off the gun tucked into his waist band, and shot himself in the leg. That was the death knell for his street cred.


Germany and Denmark risk an oil catastrophy like Crimea, as Putin's tanker Eventin has lost engine power north of Rügen.

The ship is 274 meters long, 48 meters wide and carries 99,000 ton of oil.

The power on board is out, and the AIS positioning signal is gone. The wind speed in the western Baltic Sea is gale (14-24 meters per second).

I've seen hope crawl out of stranger places than this.

We're like a pack of broken Roombas, but we always find our way back to the charger.

If you're feeling a lack of optimism right now, I hope I can lend you some of mine.

in reply to JA Westenberg

the march of progress shall never stop, evolution always wins. You are right, the internet loves to go doom and gloom. Yes, sometimes it is really bad, but eventually… eventually, there’s hope.

I got excited when a few month's ago they announced that Ada & Zangemann was going to be made into an animation film. I did not expect them to deliver so fast!

Prahlad Iyengar, a first-year graduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was suspended and ultimately banned from campus for his pro-Palestine advocacy.

Iyengar faced disciplinary actions for writing a pro-Palestine article in a student publication and protesting against Lockheed Martin recruiters at an MIT career fair.

His pro-Palestine activism led to his eviction from campus in November.

in reply to End Israeli Apartheid

Are people who make these policies able to distinguish between the people who live in Gaza and Hamas, Most people in Gaza were not even born when Hamas took power, and yet they are suffering the most from the war.


When the US regime says the "international community", it only means the West.

Venezuela's President Maduro has the support of China, Russia, Iran, Türkiye, Bolivia, Cuba, Honduras, Nicaragua, Algeria, Belarus, Burkina Faso, Congo, Qatar, Serbia, Uganda, and numerous Caribbean countries…

#fluConf2025 will feature a track on hardware-hacking and permacomputing. We want to feature articles and presentations that explore matters related to how devices interact with the physical world, how to repair and adapt those devices for different use-cases, and the challenges associated with maintaining any technology over long periods of time.

We welcome proposals that address:

* open chip design, fabrication, and supply chains

* open-source schematics, 3d printing, and all other maker-oriented skills

* off-grid power supply solutions

* advocacy for the right-to-repair and against DRM

* mobile operating systems and gaming hardware

* radio, mesh networks, routing, and all things networking

* creative or useful applications of embedded systems

* peripherals, device drivers, and storage media

* old or unusual processor architectures, or systems featuring specialized co-processors

Apply up until midnight of January 19th, 2025 (anywhere on Earth)

"If you're interested in switching to #Linux for #gaming, there is undoubtedly a question holding you back: are game controllers compatible with Linux? Well, yes, they are. Here's how to set up a USB or Bluetooth game controller on Linux." - MakeUseOf, Christian Cawley

I didn't know jstest-gtk at all. Helped me a lot to check and configure my USB controller in SNES design. 👩‍🔬



I've released uv-secure 0.5.0 on PyPi. It now has the same vulnerability table format and formatting options (--aliases and --desc) as pip-audit.

Except it leverages @textualize 's Rich to look prettier (and even has clickable hyperlinks if your terminal supports it).

Git 2.48 released




Es scheint, dass ich die Synchronisation vom neuen Linux-Framework mit der selbstgehosteten Nextcloud hinbekommen habe. Zumindest läuft der Upload von ca 98 GB Daten.
Gut, dass der Upload nit rund 128 MBit ganz flott ist.
