Yoo pajeets, stop following me with your "elon" related accounts. Streets don't get shitted by themselves. Get on to it. I don't do crypto, I don't care for lotteries, I really don't give a flying fuck about gals looking for sugar daddies.

@CyberTechWolff Will he step down from X too? 🤣

Good News Elon Musk has stepped down from Twitter.

@Breaking911 Somehow in Africa certain countries have better election integrity systems in place. Let that sink in.

Howard Lutnick: The states run these elections. If they want to use the U.S. Postal Service, they're going to get a barcode from the USPS, and they're going to put that on the envelope, and we will have one envelope per vote.

@MadScientist_42 @xai @elonmusk You were hit with the "bot" error messages too while replying to someone, uh? I thought it was because I'm on a free acc and I mainly reply to folks content.

Okay, @xai, @elonmusk... I am not a bot. I'm not an automaton. You're bloody F-ing checks for this are BROKEN and you REALLY need to NOT try things out on Production without testing them on a Test farm FIRST

@techspence The old geezers were right when they used to say to just pull all the cables out of the ISP routers. No connection, no jackassery.

@pocketmt You must be new here

@FFmpeg @pocketmt ROFL

2026 and we’re still pretending handwritten assembly is magically faster than compiler output. Feels like someone’s still benchmarking with “hello world” from a classroom slide.

@eevblog Right after an AI alarm clock gets released. Man made horrors will haunt us forever.

How long before the first oscilloscope comes with "AI"?

@CaptGraybeard13 @GrampsToolshed @NerdserkerAgain I do the same to one of my cars and the SOB is always telling me to call the nearest VW dealership. Let's just say, that one is going to the orphanage at 1st opportunity.

@GrampsToolshed @NerdserkerAgain I greet my jeep every day. I talk to him and ask how he is feeling.

Hey, since Japan Twitter is going crazy, does anyone know - Is this actually true, or just something Americans believe because it sounds good? TIA !!

@LundukeJournal So what? Are we supposed to like it? They should put more effort on making their shit work better, just saying

GNOME, KDE, elementary OS, & GTK want you to look at “Trans” people on this “Trans Day of Visibility.”

@sysxplore Happy April 1st.

Linux now natively supports Adobe products🔥

@momoyama_picks These are beautiful works of art. Would have to keep those as display items only. I burn through picks like they are made of candy. 😄

@dylanmtaylor92 @vinibarbosabr So basically you just handing out misery for free to every distro you can in a way that will affect every user. Got it, you already managed to do it with the boyos at systemd. I wouldn't want to be in your shoes when the normies wake up and start to make questions.

@vinibarbosabr @MyOwnerBites Also, removing user setup breaks backwards compatibility with config JSON files entirely for automated installations. That's a huge deal.

Archinstall 4.0 was released yesterday, ready for Arch Linux's monthly snapshot in April Dylan's proposal for age verification compliance was not merged into this archinstall release, but discussions continue around the issue -- with some interesting developments, imo ICYMI → dylanmtaylor was the dev responsible for proposing the now merged birthDate field for systemd, which started heated discussions in different Linux and FLOSS communities --- TL;DR + DanWaLes proposed removing normal user creation from archinstall (only root) + the user would need to create non-root users later + this removes archinstall need for compliance with birthDate + dylanmtaylor disagrees: worsen user experience through complexity + ZacharyPax challenged Dylan: not for Arch users who can easily do it, plus and age verification is a worse issue + archinstall community (Torxed) seems open to the debate --- I missed this discussion for some reason, but on March 27, DanWaLes opened an issue on archlinux/archinstall: Consider removing regular user accounts from installer #4330 💬 > "If regular user accounts are not created at install, it would be completely out of scope of age verification laws. Root is strictly for administrative purposes. It's a system account. It is not for regular users." The idea makes sense... only users can have a birth date So, if there are no users created by archinstall, it's not archinstall's responsibility to implement (or require or facilitate) age verification fields such as birthDate from systemd Arch's maintainer, Torxed, seems divided but considered the idea interesting and even referenced it in dylanmtaylor's draft pull request that proposed age verification for archinstall → user: add required birth date field to non-root user creation#4290 Dylan, on the other hand, is against removing user creation 💬 > "I think this would degrade the experience, a lot of greeters expect there to be a non-privileged account for a session to start." Another Arch user, ZacharyPax, joined the discussion and went on a long exchange with Dylan, arguing that the added complexity would be minimal in comparison to the benefits of not needing to violate worldwide users' privacy in compliance with "Orwellian surveillance laws," in his words, from a few jurisdictions While they didn't reach an agreement on what to do, the contributors were able to find some common ground, and I believe it was a productive discussion in the end dylanmtaylor even suggested some ways intermediate/advanced users could protect themselves from the birthDate field, if they wanted, running: 💻 ``` sudo homectl update $(whoami)--birth-date="" ``` or ``` sudo homectl update username --birth-date="1970-01-01 ``` Dylan also said he would make sure to explicitly remove root from the birthDate request and add some warning messages to the following code changes IMO → anyone installing Arch Linux (which is not the easiest distro to install), with archinstall or not, would have the needed resources, willingness, or knowledge to manually add a user later, following DanWaLes and ZacharyPax proposals (which I agree with) I disagree with Dylan that it would worsen the user experience significantly or add sufficient complexity for it to be a barrier -- age verification compliance seems much more aggressive to me and contrary to the FLOSS ethos Still good to see this discussion and the maintainers openness to allow the discussion to happen in the first place, considering what we have been seeing in some Linux communities (like CachyOS and others, actively censoring the debate)

@HackingLZ I wonder if whatever Apple uses from FreeBSD has funny shit in it 😆

Guess it’s been a while since I looked at FreeBSD 😂 “It’s worth noting that FreeBSD made this easier than it would be on a modern Linux kernel: FreeBSD 14.x has no KASLR (kernel addresses are fixed and predictable) and no stack canaries”

@matsuo_board That Kemper wooden enclosure is just plain beautiful. Good work. 🫡

@IceSolst I have a server running since 2019 with one linux install that never saw an update. Still not pwnd. Also no internet connection... ohhh

>use a security tool in CI get pwnd >update your dependencies get pwnd >do nothing, ignore security win

@MasteroftheTDS @WritingRaven2 This only means this cunt and her fellow minions found something else to ruin and make a buck out of it.

@LayoffAI Don't worry, folks. When some big disaster hits, these AI Radiologists will be on the field working with interruptable power sources... Protip: They won't.

It takes 13 years to become a radiologist. Four years of medical school. A preliminary year. Four years of residency. Maybe a fellowship. $200,000 in debt before you read your first scan as an attending. The CEO of America's largest public hospital system just said he could replace "a great deal" of them with AI right now. Oracle began to fire 30,000 workers this morning. Block cut half its workforce last month. Google eliminated 35% of its managers. Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, all flattening. But those were tech workers. Middle managers. People in cubicles writing code or routing information. Now it is doctors. 44% of medical students already say AI made radiology less appealing as a career. The training pipeline is collapsing before the jobs even disappear. There are only 41,000 radiologists in the country. The shortage is projected through 2055. And instead of training more, the conversation has shifted to replacing them. Nobody is safe. We will keep digging into the data and reporting the facts.

FFmpeg is moving to Rust 🦀 Our use of C and Assembly in FFmpeg has been an unacceptable violation of safety. FFmpeg will be running 10x slower - but we're doing it for your safety. All your videos will appear green - safety first, working software later.
