Kinda wild it was ever closed-source, but credit where it’s due, I guess.

Connect with hot services on your LAN.

Why is this marked NSFW?

Yes, you absolutely could do that. You can run it locally and access it on localhost:8010

Also, even if you have it on a server on the LAN, many people would consider LAN “offline”.

Reddit: Literally sells the platform’s content to AI companies.

AI bots: Fill Reddit with spam

Reddit:

Uh oh, it sounds like they want us to be inclusive of all cars.

Seems pretty clear to me.

7. Artificial friends eat man, woman inherits the earth.

I swear WSL already had Arch.

Kind of. Matrix is the most supported, and works very well. However, it doesn’t have feature parity with Discord. Voice/video chat can be added via integrations, but it takes quite a few modifications to the server’s infrastructure.

It’s also a bit more complicated to navigate,

Revolt is being created as a proper FOSS Discord replacement (similar UI even), but it’s pretty early in development. It also lacks federation, which is a huge caveat imo.

KDE Connect is great, but the simplest solution would be to just pair your phone and laptop via Bluetooth. Your phone will just treat your PC as a Bluetooth headset.

Not 100% sure with Ubuntu, but I do this on EndeavourOS and it just worked without any tinkering.

Let’s Encrypt has done so much for encouraging the spread of HTTPS and good certificate practices. If they went away, I honestly think a good chunk of the internet would start breaking after ~6 months.

This really sucks. I honestly didn’t know the Feds gave so much money to FOSS, but I looked up the USAGM and that makes sense.

It tracks with current trends. Basically anything that could be interpreted as benefiting any county other than the United States or any demographic other than rich white men is getting funding cut. What an embarrassment.

At a time when decentralizing information is critical, our tools to do so are also threatened.

But if it’s AI generated, who are they going to lay off after they release it?

Configurations behind a reverse proxy that did not explicitly configure trusted proxies will not work after this release. This was never a supported configuration, so please ensure you correct your configuration before upgrading. See the updated docs here for more information.

Well I’m glad I read that before upgrading!

Good for them. The gaming industry has needed better worker protections for decades. Healthier developers are more creative developers.

What a legend. The significance of NTP cannot be understated. The internet as we know it could not work without it.

The fact that Facebook still exists is proof of this.

Do you play exclusively esports games or something? It’s rare I encounter a title that doesn’t work just fine on Linux. It seems I barely need to tweak any settings anymore.

I get why Federation can cause issues (most of the time it’s moderation related), but why would an extra option be a deal-breaker? Federation can always be disabled on a per-domain basis if you prefer. In fact, I’d argue it’s best practice to only allow domains on a case-by-case basis to prevent spam and abuse.

On the converse, you can’t enable Federation on a platform that doesn’t have it.
