Man if this MacBook Neo could run #Asahi at some point it would be a killer #Linux #ARM machine.

I wonder how it compares to my M1 Air in terms of performance (rocking Asahi happily daily on it)

@nixCraft

It appears to be a discussion not an announcement of a decision. Am I missing something? In replies another suggests banningntje use of canonical in those states for example.

It is authoritarianism plain and dimple, it is the end of privacy and the first amendment, its a brain implant from Musk.

Fuck California Dems. Throw them out at primaries. 1st Amendment Dems, New Deal Dems. Start the removal.

Get organised.

🚨 New Video: Virtue is Inconvenient - The Nitrokey 3 Review

In my last video, I crowned the YubiKey 5 as the "King of Keys" but it has a fatal flaw. It is proprietary. For those of us who believe in digital sovereignty and the right to audit our own hardware, blind trust is not an option.

Then there is Nitrokey 3A NFC. It promises open-source firmware, transparent design, and code written in memory safe Rust. But does "open" actually mean "good?" Today, we look at whether the moral high ground is worth the inconvenience, why the Android experience might be a deal breaker, and who should actually buy this device.

In the future, building or modifying your computer will be an act of rebellion.

When everything is glued shut and parts are paired to the motherboard by software, the simple act of a repair is a middle finger to the companies that want you to just buy a new one.

State paternalism was gonna backfire eventually.

｢ I do not believe most free and open source software is ready to handle the ludicrous amount of legal liability this kind of legislation introduces. The talk of non-compliance would be fun if there was not a 7500 dollar fine per child who uses the OS for the OS provider performing intentional non-compliance ｣

@xabean I could never make it run on Arch, but I see it supports FreeBSD now. Im running FreeBSD on my workstation and this would be more than perfect. THX!

Maybe it would be useful, instead of big-tech AI / LLM bashing, if those valid concerns could be at least partly focussed by FOSS making training of home-run models to bring edge/offline AI/LLM to homelab, to allow us to learn about the tools and use them how we see fit without being over-reliant on big tech and internet connectivity.

Bootc and OSTree: modernizing Linux system deployment

Bootc and OSTree represent a new way of thinking about Linux system deployment and management. Building on container and versioning concepts, they offer robust and modern solutions to meet the current needs of administrators and developers.

GIMP v3.04

It was this early morning, when I tried to fire up GIMP, I noticed that I had forgotten to install this magnificent gfx tool kit.

I ran apt install gimp immediately

I've been using GIMP ever since it came out, decades ago (spawn 1995). Even though the UI was totally different from what I was used to, adaptation was fast and my fluency in use of GIMP increased fast. I like working in GIMP

The GIMP is 31 years old

Quote

In 1995, Spencer Kimball and Peter Mattis began developing GIMP as a semester project at University of California, Berkeley for the eXperimental Computing Facility.[8] The software was originally named the General Image Manipulation Program

GIMP v0.54 was first released in 1996

Over the decades I've seen a lot of users emitting futile complaints about the GUI, the use of many windows / viewports, while I can easily transition from closed source software on client's machines, to the GIMP, just by switching the mindset regarding the UI. The logic behind UI decisions is easily traceable.

GIMP has so many functions, I know of nobody who knows how to use all of them.

You should learn what you need to do, get fluent into those tasks, and learn more when you need more. This mind set also works in VIM, which has a massive ammount of functions and commands to make not only your programming in different languages more pleasant, it also has subtle assist functions which makes your source entries even more enjoyable.

GIMP always gives me consistent performance and I can rely on the keyboard shortcuts without having to use the mouse to select functions brushes, et all.
GIMP is for me a must have in my photo correction work flow. I've never relied on closed source software for those tasks, GIMP always has similar functions, many working even more efficient with your computer's CPU / GPU resources.

For the Love of GIMP

next section moved to seperate toot

Note:
I've always known that Open Source programs can be trusted better than closed source equivalents, something you all know when it comes down to the big photo manupilation suite, which enshittifies everything for its paying users.

GIMP shall always have its users back

You can trust GIMP
