Is Lennart Pottering actually a super-villain? More on this topic coming soon.

@IroncladDev Consider @ghostbsdproject for desktop use. I'm currently taking their pre-release for a spin and will be posting a full review when the final release lands!

I'm moving off systemd what are y'all's recommendations for alternatives?

You don't have to like @4chan to appreciate the constant and epic trolling of UK regulators who think they have a right to censor American companies. Despite our many problems, Americans enjoy the strongest speech protections in the world.

Some crazy fun stuff happening right now, can't wait to talk to you guys about it in about 30 days (responsible disclosure, vendor response period and all!)

@Geeked_AF_ @geerlingguy @GamersNexus And just like that, we're all doing retro videos! Fortunately I have quite a backlog of devices waiting their turn on the bench!

@geerlingguy @GamersNexus I hope tech creators use this as an opportunity to make more unique content with the hardware on hand

I'm glad I got to enjoy gaming in the era before you needed a $7,000 rig to redraw frames and generate slop frames to hit 62 fps in a AAA game.

I rarely have faith in the justice system in the US, but I'm happy to hear that @ogafroman was the victor in the defamation suit from the dirty cops that raided his house for no reason. Now where can I get me some of that lemon pound cake?

@ghostbsdproject Looking forward to doing a full test and review once it launches!

New ISO for testing ci.ghostbsd.org/jenkins/job/st… We are mostly ready for the next release.

I need all developers to understand that I'm going to come at you so much harder if you do crap like this.

Despite their claims of encryption and privacy, Mark Zuckerberg was able to read my wife's old private messages and sent her a warning about a meme she shared with a friend. Not surprised to see this.

One of the best parts of having your own business is being able to decline providing service to a customer that isn't a good fit, or fire them when things aren't working out.

It's always good to have a standard, but a standard created by a committee is almost always going to be much worse than if a random dude just builds something and it gains traction. Pic related.

@RepLuna @GovRonDeSantis You've got waaaaaaay too much trust in Florida's corrupt "justice" system. The same system that repeatedly gets caught in kick-back schemes for conviction+incarceration in private facilities.

Attention pedophiles: Now, according to our new state law in Florida, if you rape a child you will be put to death. Keep your hands off our children. Thank you to the Florida legislature and @GovRonDeSantis for getting this done.

@LundukeJournal What counts as an "operating system"? Does my linux-based IoT device firmware need to start asking the user's age? Obviously it won't.

Here’s where each of the “All Operating Systems must do age verification” laws are as of today (March 9, 2026): - Brazil (Law 15.211) : Signed into law. Requirements in effect on March 17th, 2026. - California (AB-1043) : Signed into law. Requirements in effect on January 1st, 2027. - Colorado (SB26-51) : Passed Senate on March 3, 2026. - New York (S8102A) : In Senate Committee. - Illinois (SB3977) : Filed for consideration. Note: As of today, March 9th, Operating Systems developers have only 8 days remaining before the Brazilian law takes effect. Related: In order to “incentivize” age verification, The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has announced that they will ignore COPPA violations for software performing age verification.

@augmentcode You left out the part where it's only free if you use your macos-only IDE...

GPT-5.4 is now the default model in Augment, and it’s free for a limited time.

@nmatt0 Congrats man, what an awesome achievement!

YouTube channel has been a wild ride. Here's the backstory.

@LowLevelTweets Brother I'm gonna call you Tehran.. cuz you're on fire today.

@LowLevelTweets Doesn't matter what party, our elected officials just love blowing up brown kids in far away lands and can't help themselves when an opportunity appears.

@prestonjbyrne Thanks for the laughs your hamster clearly illustrates the absurdity of the UK's attempted actions. Do they really not realize that we're all laughing at them by now? Cute hamster though.

Ofcom wrote today, harassing 4chan again about the fine for engaging in perfectly lawful conduct in the US. We replied with a hamster. When Ofcom wants to get serious and have a merits discussion about their powers, they can show up in a US court as a plaintiff.

@prestonjbyrne You can't tell me what to do. - Libertarian scientists

Libertarianism’s best scientists should figure out what’s happening here and turn it into a replicable process.
