@ponceto91 Awesome! I still have a working Amstrad laptop from 1987, runs a 4mb Motorola CPU

Il y a 42 ans, le 11 avril 1984, fut commercialisé l'Amstrad CPC 464 par la société britannique Amstrad PLC, fondée par Alan Michael Sugar. L'Amstrad CPC sera un succès et se vendra à 3 millions d'exemplaires dans le monde, dont environ un million en France #LaPetiteInfoDuJour

France is transitioning government desktops to Linux, with each ministry required to formalize its implementation plan by autumn 2026. linuxiac.com/france-launche… #Linux #OpenSource

Guess what? SPRIN-D is the German agency running European Digital Identity developments, with an impressive list of shortcomings in privacy, security and fairness. It’s been all marketing so far, but now the fallout is approaching news.dyne.org/the-problems-o…

Groundbreaking OSINT investigation shows how three decisions by individuals with undisclosed financial interests permanently altered the identity infrastructure of every major GNU/Linux distribution running systemd

@pureMetatron This reminds me of the rubbish uni paper on iphones & their whiteness associated with racism. There is an aesthetic design to white or perl electronics. In the 80s they were mostly satin black or stainless silver. There is also a scientific reason for the colour white, Cooling!

Oooooff!!!

I'm going to extend this as an open letter to the world blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/03/3…

Open Call: #Netstalgia (Not Acceptable) The internet is broken. But was it ever whole? Error 417 Expectation Failed seeks projects that confront nostalgia head-on. What (protocols, networks, etc) do we need to build the internet we actually want? 🔗 error417.expectation.fail/406/netstalgia…

Fermiamo la verifica dell'età online! ne parlo oggi su @wireditalia Chiudere Internet non può essere una scorciatoia per proteggere i minori in rete, ma e' un rischio per la privacy di tutti. Spiego perché: wired.it/article/verifi…

@CyberRacheal I would put LFS in it's on category as it is not really a distro. Also were is Debian ?

Agree?

@DoingFedTime As Ubuntu/Canonical have a terrible track record of explaining things when they post. I would read all comments attached to the Ubuntu Discourse post, it explains things better.

The enemy is at the gates. Do you see where this is going? Red = Removing Why? 'sEc'uRiTiE'

Age verification is spreading. The goal? "Protect children." The effect? A permissioned internet. We can and must protect the kids, without turning the network into a checkpoint. 🔗 news.dyne.org/child-protecti…

@aniobrien This is really bad and though I'm not an expert but I work for Govt and I think this might be illegal. Public facing government outlets must be accessible to all.

This gets up my nose so much. Public services should meet New Zealanders where they are. In fact that is what their comms plans say they should do.

SysVinit 3.16 UNIX-style init system improves systemd-to-SysV script conversion and delivers minor fixes alongside ongoing codebase cleanup. linuxiac.com/sysvinit-3-16-… #OpenSource

@LundukeJournal This is so stupid. It's beyond stupid! GNU/LINUX has always been diverse. We have had alternative init systems for an age. When did the likes of systemd Wayland become the sacred cow not to be questioned? This is very negative in the freedom zone!

Here we see two high profile Open Source people (Red Hat & GNOME) discussing the problem with what they call “MAGA/Linux”. Discussions like this have been increasing among Open Source organizations and projects lately. They are very upset that “MAGA/Linux” is “gaining traction”. What, exactly, is “MAGA/Linux”? The definition seems vague, but you’ll see words like “XLibre”, “Lunduke”, & “OpenMandriva” regularly associated.

Children need protection. The internet does not need a checkpoint. news.dyne.org/child-protecti…

I see your point,but to easily we sit back & comply This is what we were warned about when systemd arrived It will slowly assimilate until you have lost all control of your OS 'Resistance is Futile!' systemd needs to stay in it's corner & be an init system not an operating system
