Criticism of Israel is not anti-semitism.

Ouf, you got me down a rabbit hole. I’ll start at the end, where I clicked on a comment of yours laying out why Andreas Kling and Brendan Eich are assholes. This FOSS tendency to support 100% meritocracy becomes a bullshit lie the moment some lead devs use their position to spread vile views, deny harmless PRs to improve phrasing etc.
I have yet to meet a single self-proclaimed “centrist” who isn’t just a racist/misogynyst/homophobe in sheep’s clothing.

Meritocracy enables sociopaths.
Well really it should be “Pure unadultarated meritocracy in FOSS development enables latent sociopathic behavior to come out unchecked in nerdy devs” or some such, but that’s not much of a slogan.

Anyhow, about Kagi & Vlad & the writer of this blog post (I really read it all) - I am always so skeptical about FLOSS trying to go financially sustainable. Usually people applaud it because they think it’s a solution to “slow development and clunky UIs”, and usually people like Vlad like to support that feeling without really committing to anything.

Also always interesting the lack of commitment when you press them about data collection. You can’t run a web app like this without data collection, and the distiction between personally identifyable, private, anonymised or anonymous is - facile because as legal terms they were coined by people who have no clue about fingerprinting and such.

All in all I’m glad with the road I have chosen in device & software usage and just like the Brave hype did not get me, neither will the Kagi hype or the next one.

Great breakdown, esp. the license issues and the case in point of MINIX. Subscribed.

I just checked, Archlinux already has uutils-coreutils in [extra], but there’s no surprise there, they’ve always been relatively unconcerned about such things.

Thanks for sharing, always nice to see!

But nowadays I’d be surprised if one of these display devices ran Windows or some similar crap that is NOT Linux.

Ubuntu/Canonical did, imho, the right thing to offer paid support for what is otherwise a free OS. That’s what companies care for, that cannot afford a full IT employee or even department. Of course Redhat et. al. also offer that but Ubuntu seems more suitable for smaller solutions?

Size really isn’t the problem here.

Eine gute Zusammenfassung von allem was uns in den letzten ~25 Jahren genau hier hin gebracht hat.

Hauptsächlich bezogen auf die USA, aber auch auf unseren fast schon verknöcherten Willen alles was von dort kommt zu dulden.

Man darf den 11.9.2001 hier nicht unterschätzen. Die Zerstörung der Gewaltenteilung in der USA die dem folgte. Ach, da müssen sich so manche die Händchen gerieben haben.

Und jetzt? Im Grunde ist man sich in der EU doch einig dass die grossen SoMe US-Konzerne illegal sind, aber man ziert sich noch… warum eigentlich?
Diesmal sind wir glimpflich davon gekommen, bei der nächsten Wahl (irgendwo in EU) könnten die Konzerne von Musk und Schleimscheisser Zuckerberg nachweislich daran beteiligt gewesen sein dass die Rechtsextremisten an die Macht kommen.

I know it’s tough, but just try to breathe evenly, look out the window for a while. It’ll soon pass. Don’t give up the fight!

Since 2016, quite a few. And probably before that too. And probably significantly more since 2025.

As horrible as this one is, the real problem is in numbers: every single bullshit law introduced by MAGAGOP must be called out and ultimately repealed. This democracy isn’t dying with a bang, it’'s dying by 1000 cuts.

Like the kid that keeps insisting that his bully is actually his best friend.

Dark popcorn times.

They already exchanged winks. You know what’s happening later!

Thanks for sharing! I have a very similar postcard hanging on my wall, but with less detail. Souvenir from Scotland.

Bird flu is the nature’s way of saying how cruel and fucked up the system is

Let’s leave it at that.
If companies treat chicken just a little bit better bird flu won’t be a huge problem anymore.

Humans don’t need eggs for anything.

This is also true inasmuch as this isn’t an emergency for humans. Yet. Not the eggs anyhow.

158% increase in egg interceptions

Thank you for the first real lol of the day.

The Finnish Poultry Association cited the lack of prior trade agreements and complex regulatory hurdles.

Such an understated way of saying: you started a trade war, now go fsck yourself!

Birdflu comes and goes, but lack of regulation/control is a BIG contributing factor here.

Gemacht!

What a timeline.
I’m sending this to my parents who still don’t understand why one would not want to be on Israel’s side anymore.

The list of those figures has even reportedly caught Israel’s president Isaac Herzog by surprise, with the outlet Haaretz being told by the president’s residence that it was “surprised to hear who the invitees are”, particularly due to the conference focusing on combating anti-semitism.
