One is to say it is a 2025 law requiring operating systems and app stores to implement age verification during account setup to protect minors online. The other is to note that the law is all the worst things a law can be. It is vague, using terms that allude but do not define. It sets specific and punitive fines for non-compliance, without specifying what non-compliance looks like. It will have a chilling effect on innovation by creating a foggily fearsome landscape of liability. It does not fix that which it claims to be fixable, and it breaks that which ought not to be broken. In the words of the General Confession in the Anglican Book of Common Prayer: there is no health in it. Toddler working with computer and smartphone It is incoherent and tautologous. It talks of "digital signals" between OS, application stores, and apps. This excludes, one surmises, all those analog signals that developers would be tempted to use. Yodeling, perhaps, or interpretive dance. It talks of "age verification" without verification. It applies to users "on a computer, a mobile device, or any other general purpose computing device that can access a covered application store or download an application." We can run Doom on smart toothbrushes. Everything is a general purpose computer if you stare at it hard enough, sayeth Turing. Not all operating systems have user accounts, saith FreeDOS, And what of smart TVs, which all ages can simultaneously use? Read_on Also today: * ⚓ What_is_'Ageless_Linux,'_which_deliberately_violates_the_law_requiring age_verification_during_OS_setup?_-_GIGAZINE⠀⇛ In California, USA, the Digital Age Assurance Act (AB 1043), which requires users to verify their age during OS account setup to protect minors online, is scheduled to go into effect in January 2027. However, an operating system called 'Ageless Linux' has emerged that deliberately violates this law by not verifying users' ages.

properly repairable, hands on with the Android desktop convergence future, and more. * ⚓ Linux_User_Space_Episode_6:10:_The_Age_Old_Problem⠀⇛ In this episode we dive into the wonderful world of bandwidth since there's an open source alternative to Speedtest.net and Fast.com these days, and it's LibreSpeed.org. Take a peek, preferably after they update their expired certificate (they seriously did this to us after we speak so highly!) and get a slightly more honest look at your speeds! For bonus points, try a different country. We also dig into some of the technical bits behind those tests. Also, when speaking about jitter, I should have said 'delta' or 'difference' rather than 'average'! Then, more age verification. This time, though, GNU/Linux distributions are caught in the crossfire and some are exploring the ways to actually handle potential implementations. Nothing's too dire yet as most of these 'laws' are still bills, and that means they don't matter quite yet. * ⚓ Michael Geist ☛ The_Law_Bytes_Podcast,_Episode_261:_Ian_Goldberg_on_the Privacy_Risks_of_Age_Assurance_Technologies⠀⇛ Age verification, estimation or inference is seemingly all the rage right now.

Redesigned LibreOffice app icons, new accessibility feature symbolics and an adaptive Calculator icon have also been introduced, alongside system-wide theme changes that pull Yaru closer to the style of vanilla GNOME Shell/Adwaita. * ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Canonical_announces_it_will_distribute_NVIDIA_DOCA-OFED_in Ubuntu⠀⇛ NVIDIA DOCA-OFED is a widely adopted high-performance networking stack, commonly used in large-scale AI factories and HPC clusters. By exposing advanced capabilities like RDMA (remote direct memory access) and NVIDIA GPUDirect, NVIDIA DOCA-OFED provides CPU offload, lower and more predictable tail latency, and sustained throughput under load. This enables ultra-low latency and high-throughput data transfers – essential for training large language models (LLMs) and running complex distributed simulations. DOCA‑OFED is delivered as the DOCA‑Host networking driver stack, including kernel drivers, user‑space libraries, and management tools for supported NVIDIA network adapters. * ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Meet_Canonical_at_NVIDIA_GTC_2026:_NVIDIA_CUDA_and_NVIDIA_Vera Rubin_NVL72_support_in_Ubuntu_26.04_LTS⠀⇛ With Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, Canonical is continuing its collaboration with NVIDIA by directly distributing NVIDIA CUDA in Ubuntu, and by delivering day-one platform readiness for NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 rack-scale architecture. Together, these advancements provide developers and enterprises with a stable, enterprise-grade foundation for building, scaling, and operating AI workloads across edge, workstation, and data center environments. * ⚓ IT Web ☛ First_Distribution_appointed_as_first_Canonical_distributor_in Africa⠀⇛ First Distribution is excited to announce its partnership with Canonical, the publisher of Ubuntu and provider of open source security, support and services. First Distribution positions itself as a leading value-added distributor of complex ICT solutions, delivering world-class technology offerings to enterprise and SME markets through a strong network of trusted resellers and partners. With this partnership, First Distribution is becoming the first official distributor for Canonical solutions dedicated to Africa. * ⚓ Security Boulevard ☛ Cryptographic_Agility_in_MCP_Resource_Server Orchestration⠀⇛ Ever wonder how we went from juggling a dozen passwords for linux tools to just one? It’s been a wild ride since the early days of Ubuntu One. Back in 2010, things were pretty fragmented before the Ubuntu single sign on service launched, which finally gave us a central place to login. It started as a way to handle cloud storage, but it quickly grew into something much bigger for the whole ecosystem. * ⚓ Hacker Noon ☛ How_to_Properly_Install_JetBrains_Toolbox_on_Linux_ (Kubuntu/Ubuntu)⠀⇛ I've been using JetBrains products for many years. Recently, there's been a lot of buzz around AI, and often the conversation pushes developers toward other IDEs like VS Code. Honestly, it made me a bit sad. I love my PhpStorm, PyCharm, and WebStorm — I didn't want to switch, but I also didn't want to fall behind. * ⚓ PearOS_Brings_Mac-Level_Polish_to_Any_Aging_Laptop_for_Free⠀⇛ Old laptops have a habit of ending up in a drawer the moment manufacturers stop supporting them, left to gather dust while modern software demands more than they can comfortably give. PearOS exists to change that. It’s a free operating system that breathes new life into neglected hardware, bringing a Mac-like experience complete with a familiar menu bar, a clean dock, and smooth gestures to machines that most people had written off. The latest release, built on Arch Linux and going by the name NiceC0re, is designed to make everyday tasks feel effortless on exactly the kind of hardware that usually gets left behind. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣁⡀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣻⣛⣻⣻⣟⢃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⡶⣶⢶⣶⣶⡆⣖⣶⣶⣲⢲⣶⣶⣶⣶⢶⢲⣖⣶⢶⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣺⣷⣛⣟⣳⣛⣞⡚⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠛⠛⠃⠓⠛⠚⠒⠈⠓⠃⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⢀⣀⣤⣾⣅⣀⠀⠀⣤⣂⡀⣄⢀⡰⠀⠀⠐⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣄⣀⣠⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣤⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣄⡀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠏⣀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣦⣤⣄⢀⣴⣿⣷⣶⣤⣤⣄⣤⣤⣤⣄⠀⣤⣴⣶⡀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⢀⣴⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣽⢿⣿⣙⣿⣽⣿⣽⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⡷⣿⣼⣏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⢟⣫⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣏⢺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⡻⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣟⡿⣧⡿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣻⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⢛⣋⣭⣭⣍⡉⠛⠿⠛⠻⣷⣶⣾⡿⣯⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠚⠛⠛⠿⠿⠟⠀⣈⣉⠛⠛⠷⢶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣶⡾⣿⣦⠤⠀⠀⠀⣸⡿⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣽⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣶⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⣤⣴⣿⣿⣿⠉⠛⠛⠓⠒⠶⠶⠶⣾⣿⣧⣤⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⠟⣷⣿⣿⠻⣿⣿⣿⠋⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣥⣤ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⡽⠃⠀⠀⣤⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠻⠟⠛⠓⠐⢿⣷⣤⣴⣶⡄⠀⠉⠉⠉⠹⣿⣿⠛⠛⠛⠻⣧⣾⣷⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⡏⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 531 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/17/Day_Began_Well_Can_Manchester_City_End_It_Equally_Well.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/17/Day_Began_Well_Can_Manchester_City_End_It_Equally_Well.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Day Began Well, Can Manchester City End It Equally Well?⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 17, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Real_Madrid⦈_ On a bit of a tangent Nowadays I try to take screen breaks and very_long "away from keyboard" (AFK) periods. In January 2025 I began sleeping more and in late 2025 I started exercising more. There's this_report_published_earlier_this_week about dangers of "screen time", so I try to close my eyes more and enjoy music (or naps). "Entertainment and studying were the most common uses of mobile phones and personal computers, a study found," quoting the above. Getting away from computers is easy when it's nice outdoors. Today feels like summer and the rest of this week will be warm, so we sat out in the sun at a couple of spots, then did the same in the garden. Dogs and birds came by. Right now I am taking it easy but also - at intervals - I am drafting 6 articles for tonight (while scanning for news using RSS; a lot of remaining RSS outputs/lines are 'bland', even their headlines alone make them a hard pass). Tonight there will be football (Real Madrid plays here at 8pm), so we just ran past the stadium (they sell scarves for the match as early as 2pm) and will run there again after 9pm. Manchester City will need to win by 3 goals or more (3 is enough for penalties). Can it miraculously make it? If so, it'll be easy to sleep like babies; Manchester City botched or "bottled" many games lately. █ =============================================================================== Image source:

In 1983, Stallman—then a programmer at MIT’s AI Lab—announced the GNU project, an ambitious attempt to create a completely free operating system. In 1985, he founded the Free Software Foundation to support it. Stallman’s philosophy was radical: software should be free—not as in price, but as in freedom. Users should have the right to run software for any purpose, study how it works, modify it, and share it with others. He called these the “four freedoms” and argued that restricting them was morally wrong. To protect this vision, Stallman created the GNU General Public License (GPL). The GPL is clever: it allows anyone to use, modify, and distribute the software, but requires that any derivative works must also be released under the same terms. This “copyleft” mechanism prevents companies from taking free software, making improvements, and locking those improvements away as proprietary code. It’s the reason Linux remains open today. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1078 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/17/Games_NVIDIA_Slop_LEGO_Machine_RPCS3_and_More.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/17/Games_NVIDIA_Slop_LEGO_Machine_RPCS3_and_More.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: NVIDIA Slop, LEGO Machine, RPCS3, and More⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 17, 2026 * ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ NVIDIA_DLSS_5_announced_and_it's_all_about_that_[slop] generation_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ NVIDIA DLSS 5 arrives sometime "this fall" and brings with it many big enhancements, but it's all getting a little bit on the weird side. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ LEGO_Machine_Plays_Tic-Tac-Toe_Without_Electronics⠀⇛ Tic-Tac-Toe is a relatively simple game, and one of the few which has effectively been solved for perfect play.

Now, both of those feel like things of the past. While I can't say for sure that I'm done with laptops, if I do get another one someday, I know it won't come with Windows. [...] Until I was 18, Windows was practically the only operating system I knew. I had encountered Linux, but that was isolated to a live CD and an old PC to play around with. There were no smartphones or tablets at the time. Windows is where I lived. I switched to using Linux full-time around 2009, when I was in college. Aside from a brief flirtation with Windows 7, I've been away from Windows ever since. Whenever I do sit down at a Windows computer, I'm surprised by how much hasn't changed. It's prettier now, don't get me wrong, and some of the apps are better, but it feels like an illusion that's only surface level. * § Server⠀➾ o ⚓ Kubernetes Blog ☛ The_Invisible_Rewrite:_Modernizing_the Kubernetes_Image_Promoter⠀⇛ Every container image you pull from registry.k8s.io got there through kpromo, the Kubernetes image promoter. It copies images from staging registries to production, signs them with cosign, replicates signatures across more than 20 regional mirrors, and generatesSLSA provenance attestations. If this tool breaks, no Kubernetes release ships. Over the past few weeks, we rewrote its core from scratch, deleted 20% of the codebase, made it dramatically faster, and nobody noticed. That was the whole point. * § Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)⠀➾ o § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ CubicleNate ☛ Kontainer_|_Distrobox_Container_Mangager Built_for_KDE_Plasma⠀⇛ Kontainer is a KDE-native GUI for managing Distrobox containers, enhancing user experience by simplifying container management. It integrates well with the desktop environment and facilitates the installation and operation of applications from different GNU/Linux distributions. While similar to BoxBuddy, Kontainer offers a more integrated feel, though lacks a feature for directly running applications. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § BSD⠀➾ # ⚓ Stefano Marinelli ☛ Why_I_Love_FreeBSD⠀⇛ When I first laid eyes on the FreeBSD Handbook, back in 2002, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Six years of Linux, a relationship I've written about elsewhere, across various distributions, had trained me to hunt for documentation in fragments: often incomplete, often outdated, sometimes already stale after barely a year. Here was an operating system that came with a complete, accurate, up-to- date (as much as possible), detailed manual. I was already a convinced believer in Open Source, but I found myself reasoning in very practical terms: if the team behind this OS puts this much care into its documentation, imagine how solid the system itself must be. And so I decided to give it a try. I had a Sony Vaio with no room for a dual boot. I synced everything to a desktop machine with more space, took a breath, and made a decision: I'd install FreeBSD on that laptop and reinstall Linux when the experiment was over. Spoiler: FreeBSD never left that machine. o § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾ # ⚓ OpenSUSE ☛ openSUSE_Releases_Updated_Legal_Classification Model [Ed: Slop slop slop]⠀⇛ The Cavil-Qwen3.5-4B model represents the latest iteration of Cavil, which leverages curated datasets designed to enhance automated legal text classification.

But as agents leave the developer's laptop and start interacting with production data and external APIs, freedom without guardrails becomes a significant liability. At Red Hat, our AgentOps strategy is built on a simple principle: Bring Your Own Agent (BYOA). You bring your agent and we provide the enterprise-grade platform and tools needed to connect the agents to the security policies, sandboxes, gateways, and more., to make it production-ready. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Operationalizing_"Bring_Your_Own_Agent"_on_Red_Hat AI,_the_OpenClaw_edition [Ed: IBM Red Hat is a slop company]⠀⇛ We've watched the industry go through waves: Model APIs (such as chat completions), agentic APIs (such as assistants and later the OpenAI responses API), the age of frameworks, and now the age of harnesses and coding agents. The top layer keeps changing. It's becoming fungible. What doesn't change is the gap between "it works on my laptop" and "it runs in production, securely, at scale, with audit trails." * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Building_the_hybrid_AI_factory_of_the_future:_Red Hat_achieves_AI_Cloud_Ready_status_for_the_NVIDIA_Cloud_Partner_(NCP) program [Ed: More and more slop, not technical substance]⠀⇛ By aligning with the NCP software reference architecture and validation specifications for ISVs, Red Hat provides a consistent foundation for repeatable, enterprise-scale AI deployments. This AI Cloud Ready status helps ensure that Red Hat technologies, such as Red Hat AI, interoperate predictably with the NCP blueprint as deployments scale. Organizations can more easily scale distributed inference, simplify model-to-data integration, and move from pilot to production across hybrid environments with reliable day-to-day operations.  * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Bringing_Nemotron_models_to_the_Red_Hat_AI_Factory with_NVIDIA [Ed: Nothing but slop at Red Hat these days]⠀⇛ The Red Hat AI Factory with NVIDIA was designed to provide a turnkey environment for developing and deploying AI at scale. Today’s announcement expands this beyond the software and hardware stack, integrating NVIDIA’s high-performance foundation models directly into the hybrid cloud workflow. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Accelerate_enterprise_software_development_with NVIDIA_and_Model-as-a-Service_(MaaS)_on_Red_Hat_AI [Ed: IBM Red Hat pushing slop]⠀⇛ However, the rapid adoption of generative AI-powered coding has introduced new enterprise-level challenges. As organizations scale their use of AI tools, they confront critical questions: How can we be sure of long-term cost efficiency? How do we protect intellectual property and sensitive data within and around the codebase? And how can we meet our data and regulatory compliance mandates?  ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1620 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/17/KDE_Plasma_6_6_3_Makes_KWin_s_Screencasting_Feature_More_Robust.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/17/KDE_Plasma_6_6_3_Makes_KWin_s_Screencasting_Feature_More_Robust.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ KDE Plasma 6.6.3 Makes KWin’s Screencasting Feature More Robust for PipeWire 1.6⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Mar 17, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇KDE_Plasma_6.6.3⦈_ Coming two weeks after KDE Plasma 6.6.2, the KDE Plasma 6.6.3 release makes KWin’s screencasting feature more robust when using PipeWire 1.6 or newer and promises to reduce CPU and GPU load for full-screen windows for screens using more fractional scale factors.

While certification for this in-development product is just around the corner, it was far from the only Raspberry Pi–based hardware on show. In fact, the roster of Powered by Raspberry Pi products now tops 350, with the validation seen as a badge of honour.

This was paired with the standard TP4056-based module and its protection IC. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ How_I_3D_Printed_My_Own_Lego-Compatible_Train_Bridges⠀⇛ There’s actually a good reason Lego bridges aren’t a big thing in the company’s own product lineup, beyond a few obscure historical parts. This is probably because they aren’t very practical. Lego locomotives are not particularly strong haulers, nor do they have excellent grip on the rails, and this makes them very poor at climbing even mild grades. Any official Lego bridge would have to be very long with a shallow slope just to allow a train to climb high enough to clear a locomotive on a track below. This would end up being an expensive set that would probably prove unpopular with the casual Lego train builder, even if the diehard enthusiasts loved it. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Every_Ham_Shack_Needs_A_Ham_Clock⠀⇛ The Ham Clock CYD is so named for being based on the Cheap Yellow Display (CYD), an economical ESP32-based color touchscreen LCD which provides most of the core functionality. The only extra hardware is a BME280 temperature and humidity sensor, and a battery-backed DS3231 RTC module, ensuring that accurate time is kept even when the device is otherwise powered off. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Recycled_Plastic_Compression_Molding_With_3D-Printed_Molds⠀⇛ Lest anyone complain, you should always wear PPE such as gloves and a suitable respirator whenever you’re dealing with hot plastic in this manner, just to avoid a trip to the emergency room. Once taken care of that issue, there are a few ways of doing molding, with compression molding being one of the most straightforward types. * ⚓ Arduino ☛ Building_a_controller_for_tiny_Z_scale_model_trains⠀⇛ Mayer’s original controller was the simple DC type, but its voltage output was inconsistent. At low speeds in particular, it struggled to provide clean power. Fortunately, technology has come a long way. It is now easy and affordable to provide fairly clean DC power of varying voltage. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ SparkFun_OpenScale_IoT_–_An_ESP32_board_with_HX711_ADC for_smart_scales_with_WiFi_and_Bluetooth_connectivity⠀⇛ The SparkFun OpenScale – IoT project is a ready-to-use ESP32- based IoT smart scale with open-source hardware and firmware support that makes it easy to read precise weight data from load cells without writing custom code from scratch for basic operation. * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Rabbit-Labs_Flipper_Zero_ESP32-C5_multi-board_features CC1101,_GPS,_and_dual-band_Wi-Fi_6⠀⇛ Designed by Rabbit-Labs EU, the Flipper Zero ESP32-C5 multi- board is an expansion board for the Flipper Zero built around the ESP32-C5 dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) microcontroller. The board also features a TI CC1101 sub-GHz transceiver, a GPS module, an SD card slot, and a USB-C port for power and programming. Last month, we wrote about the ESP32 Marauder 5G Apex 5 module, another ESP32-C5-based add-on for the Flipper Zero that comes with dual-band Wi-Fi 6, two sub-GHz radios, an NRF24 radio, and a built-in GPS module, which makes it quite bulky, to say the least. * ⚓ XDA ☛ I_dug_into_the_Flipper_One's_firmware,_and_it's_not_a_Flipper Zero_sequel_—_it's_a_pocket_Linux_PC⠀⇛ The Flipper Zero is one of my favorite gadgets. I've written about it plenty of times, and I genuinely think it's one of the more interesting gadgets to come along in a while. It made pen testing and radio experimentation feel easily approachable, wrapping a pile of protocols into something that fits in your pocket and has a cute dolphin on the screen. I get why people love it, because I'm one of them. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠙⠛⠋⠉⠉⠉⠛⠀⠸⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠻⠿⠛⠛⠛⠻⠟⠛⠛⠋⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠠⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠓⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣯⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠠⠐⠁⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⣶⠒⠀⠀⠠⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⡆⣾⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠐⠀⢄⠀⠀⡀⡈⢁⠤⠤⠤⠠⠲⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠠⠄⠄⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠁⠀⠀⢐⠒⢐⠀⠀⠀⣽⠀⠀⠀⠃⠒⠂⣀⣀⣀⣀⢸⡇⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⡂⠐⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠶⠠⠌⠀⠐⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠰⠂⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣐⣘⣀⣤⣤⣤⣤⠀⠰⠂⠀⠀⠙⠋⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠆⢰⡿⠿⠿⠿⠛⢛⢛⠛⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠈⠂⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠛⠛⠋⠁⠹⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣤⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⠀⠀⠐⠃⠀⠀⠀⠠⡱⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠿⣿⣿⠟⠛⠛⠛ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡅⠀⢴⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2025 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/17/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/17/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 17, 2026 * ⚓ David Bushell ☛ SMTP_on_the_edge⠀⇛ This cuts out the AWS middleman.

This package illustrates usage of the old and otherwise deprecated initial Rcpp API which no new projects should use as the normal and current Rcpp API is so much better. This release, the first in two and half years, mostly aids Rcpp in moving from Rf_error() to Rcpp::stop() for better behaviour under error conditions or excections. A few other things were updated in the interim such as standard upgrade to continuous integration, use of Authors@R, and switch to static linking and an improved build to support multiple macOS architectures. * § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ o ⚓ Andrew Healey ☛ Building_a_Shell_—_Andrew_Healey⠀⇛ The shell sits in front of a lot of my work, but I mostly use it for the outcome: running unix commands and scripts, creating branches and making commits. Unlike when I'm writing code, I'm rarely thinking about how the shell itself works under the hood. So, to dig a bit deeper into shells, I'm going to build a toy one until I run out of time.

As the upstream host put it: "Due to the diverse routing between these locations, we do not anticipate any service disruption as traffic will automatically fail over to alternative routes.

It is built that way on purpose. The system quietly takes care of many things in the background. The kernel manages memory automatically, keeps frequently used files cached so they open faster next time, and clears temporary data when needed. Because of this, I started wondering why are there plenty of optimization tools for Linux? Honestly, that confused me at first. Let’s talk about that.

TecMint ☛ 7_Ways_to_View_Disks_and_Partitions_in_Linux⠀⇛ In this guide, we will show how to list storage disks and partitions in Linux systems using both command-line tools and GUI utilities. * ⚓ TecMint ☛ YT-DLP:_The_Easiest_Way_to_Download_Videos_and_Songs_from YouTube⠀⇛ While there are streaming services like Spotify and YouTube itself, many people still prefer downloading their own content for offline access, better quality control, and organizing their personal media libraries. * § idroot⠀➾ o ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_ExifTool_on_Fedora_42⠀⇛ Managing digital file metadata has become

It is relatively new and it seems promising for several reasons. From what we heard, these folks read us regularly. "Oh," one of them told us yesterday, adding that there are future engineering plans "and I wanted to mention - about the club at Georgia Tech!" He said "the officer corps at LibreTech got together and updated our website to include a shoutout to y’all’s sites :-)" 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇4 sites⦈ We're there_among_the_sites. It is animated. "We’re also in the process of moving off nonfree [Microsoft] GitHub in favor of Codeberg," he told me, "though that’ll take some time since Georgia Tech pays for a GitHub license that gives every student a “premium” account here. As a result, a lot of people here think I’m crazy for even suggesting alternatives to GitHub!" Paying Microsoft for a prison. Getting young people 'hooked'... for 'free'... while they are studying. Remember what Bill_Epsteingate_publicly_said_about that. "Our club has now set up accounts on Mastodon, Bluesky, and Codeberg, and we’ve started developing our own replacement for Discord - a P2P, encrypted, 100% Free Software platform," I got told. "It’s still very much in the early Alpha stage, but after about a month of work, we’ve got something partially functional that we’re calling Quibble (a joke on Discord)." "It’s built with Node.js (same core tech as Discord) and uses the system webview over Electron, so we’re not bundling a full browser with the application. The networking layer runs on that P2P project from Apereo I mentioned in the past open-letter email - called DAT. The easiest way I can explain it is Git meets BitTorrent. It's going to be one of the few projects in that ecosystem that is copyleft (LGPLv3 since it's also a library for DAT anyone can implement too)." We saw some project correspondence. "What I’m trying to convey," I got told, "is that my goal isn’t to turn LibreTech into just an open-source club, but a free software collective for students. I actually spoke with RMS about the political issues surrounding the Open Source Initiative, and I want LibreTech to have no affiliation with that organization. We've got bylaws due soon, and I think I might try to sneak that in there so that once I'm graduated it will take an officer vote before the club can do anything with them. (Might_throw_in TOR_for_this_one_too) Our focus is on drawing people in through neutrality and collaboration with other “open source” groups (like Apereo) - but once they’re here, we want to help them understand what software freedom truly means: the four essential freedoms." Notice how those people speak about Software Freedom. That should always be the main goal. Without it, we drift towards DRM and GAFAM. █ =============================================================================== Image source: LibreTech_Collective
