Tylko Senat (z 23 odpytanych organów rządu centralnego) potwierdził nam, że Meta objęła oficjalny profil na Facebooku wyższej izby parlamentu limitem linków (ale Mety One nie planuje kupować).

Reszta organów, które odpowiedziały nam, podkreśliła, że limitu linków nie posiadają. Mety One – tak jak Senat – również nie planują kupować.

Jest to o tyle ciekawe, że jak w styczniu wybuchła dużo poważniejsza afera z platformą X (gdy za pomocą Groka można było generować nawet pornografię dziecięcą!), to Ministerstwo Cyfryzacji, czy Kancelaria Senatu (nomen omen) płaciły za subskrypcję.

Można by spekulować potencjalne podejście obu tych organów względem kolejnej subskrypcji za korpoplatformę, ale co do tego nie mam wystarczająco silnych podstaw, żeby wysuwać konkretne tezy.

Wciąż jedna rzecz daje nadzieję – żaden organ rządu centralnego *nie planuje* kupowania, przynajmniej na teraz, płatnej subskrypcji Mety.

Organy rządu centralnego nie planują zakupu Meta One, limit linków na Facebooku jako jedyna potwierdza Kancelaria Senatu

Na początku października „Kontrabanda” opisała na podstawie wypowiedzi kilku niezależnych wydawców i organizacji wpływ nowej płatnej subskrypcji Meta One – oraz powiązanego z nim miesięcznego limitu linków – na ich funkcjonowanie. Wszyscy wypowiadający się zapowiedzieli działania, które mają na celu ograniczenie swojej zależności od Facebooka. W późniejszym czasie zaczęliśmy też badać potencjalny wpływ stopniowo wprowadzanego […]

I always loved tech in its multiple forms, sometimes I was critical about peculiar applications of it (for example I joined Facebook and Instagram only in 2018 and ultimately deleted accounts on both not enjoying most of the time I spent on these) but for most I loved tech.

At preschool I was the one teaching my parents how to use some features of Microsoft Word, in primary school I begged my dad to get a copy of Excel installed on family computer to draw pretty graphs, in middle school I happily passed by the comics section of the newsstand to buy computer magazines... Computer and digital technology always was a defining part of me and I embraced it.

In the latest years (2015 onward) I was growing disenchanted with many big tech companies. This didn't stopped my passion but made it stronger motivating me to dive more into Linux and self hosting.

But now that LLM based AI is so engrained in the zeitgeist I feel completely out of place in this decade, it seems I become one of the adults who told me how sad it was to celebrate my birthday with a LAN party or that eBooks were bad "because screens".

People online celebrates the Minecraft/Skyrim mods, famous programmers once known for their rigor now goes on conferences stage to shout that if you still read or write code you're a caveman or a loser, people close to me are at the same time hyped and scared for the new models, AI generated content is commonplace even of our national television... at this point the battle seems lost and I'm clinging to a past that no longer exists like those nutjobs that displays the Confederate flag on their trucks.

What a nice day to use FOSS

now that I got everything in quadlets I should be able to change the host OS without anything breaking., right? RIGHT?

Hello, friends at littleOne!

I'm slowly recovering from the "after EuroBSDCon" queue of things to do, and I'll put some time and effort on littleFedi in the coming days.

I've forwarded a list of bugs & features to the team and they worked on it, so I'll merge them in the coming days. Stay tuned!

Let's say I have a still photo, and I want to record a short video in which I zoom and pan over that photo. How can I do it on Linux and with preferably FOSS tools?

Hey Gang...

Trying to do some damage control for a relative that is stuck on Windows.

What's a good Windows email client nowadays, something with good calendar integration, etc., multiple accounts?

That IS NOT Outlook.

Thanks.

Ok, native English speakers, clear this out for me: how do you pronounce “Forgejo”?
Is it like “Forsh-joe”?
Is it “Forge(like “forget”)-joe”?
Is it “For-je-hoe”?
Honestly, for non-native speakers it’s sometimes a guessing game, and since you probably never heard it from a native speaker there’s a high chance you completely mispronounce the word. 😅

shower thought: "España" has an ñ, "Česko" has a č... it would have been fun if Germany in German was "Deutßchland", Poland in Polish was "Połska" and Portugal in Portuguese was "Portugãl"

I actually tried it in my first Zig project, and it survived migration across a few hosting services. You can still find the bug I wrote this way if you clone https://codeberg.org/Maarrk/dedupiacz and run git-bug pull; git-bug bug

Excited to announce that the @EUCommission has updated it's follow buttons on the website footer!
What's that first platform there? Could that be #Mastodon?
And where did the link to #X go?
All the posts and comments here on Mastodon calling for this, trust me we read them!

The convenience of synchronisation between devices are the most common argument that I hear from friends why they are so invested in the respective walled gardens. But the same advantages can be obtained with old well-tested and open standards. Example: get an SMS with e-mail, add it to contacts and then have it autocomplete in @thunderbird@mastodon.online connecting to whichever mail provider your heart desires, thanks to the magic of CardDAV and IMAP. No need for Giant Mail :)

It made me really appreciate the composability of CLI when I could type git remote add forgejo .../$(basename $(pwd)).git && git push ... to get that micro-automation going.

#TIL

Same thing happened to me with #git and Linux earlier. Now that I think about it, I'm surprised I learned gdb CLI so late.
