@mullvadnet@mastodon.online You had every opportunity to eject your CEO for contributing to a party that wants a bulk of your customer base dead and you didn't. You could've read the entire room but you didn't even bother peeking in the door. I will no longer recommend you to anyone ever again, renew my subscription, or touch your service again. You assholes fucked up big time.

@zzt@mas.to @nate@coxenheim.social @davidgerard@circumstances.run @bms@mastodon.bsd.cafe I was using XEmacs for a very long time, switched over to GNU Emacs briefly when the project went dormant for a while, and switched back again when it revived. Also never have I wanted to punch someone so fast as RMS when he started talking down to a woman at a Drupal conference and making her feel bad for just saying "Linux" and not his insistent terminology of "Guhnoo slash lihnux hurr durr durr"

All right, Linus, I think maybe you should step back for a bit. You're REALLY unable to read rooms now. And thanks for giving me more reasons to consider switching to Haiku and/or OpenBSD. https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/07/linux-creator-linus-torvalds-puts-foot-down-on-anti-ai-comments/ #NoAI #FuckAI #Linux

Linux creator Linus Torvalds puts foot down on anti-AI comments

In reply to a developer on one of the Linux kernel mailing lists, Linux creator Linus Torvalds firmly put a foot down to push back against anti-AI comments.

Sad fact: When Be, Inc. was purchased by Palm in 2001, it seemed like #BeOS technology would live on in #PalmOS, and Palm OS 6 would incorporate portions of BeOS into it. Instead, PalmSource (who was developing Palm OS 6, got acquired by ACCESS Co, a Japanese software house, who proceeded to... simply sit on BeOS and Palm OS. While we have #Haiku continuing the BeOS spirit, nothing is continuing the Palm OS spirit. We need that mobile diversity back. A modern Palm OS would rock so hard.

Our voices have been heard. @Blender@mastodon.social has kicked Anthropic to the curb in a case of "take the money and run".

Never underestimate the power of your voices and the powers a community holds. ✊

Rescuing old hardware and giving it a new chance at life is always a great thing to do! This iPod Video was given to me by a friend at my local hackerspace, and as the old iTunes ecosystem it was once tied to is no longer a thing in 2026, I threw Rockbox onto it and it lives once more!

All my music, offline and in my hands? Almost every audio codec supported? Yes please!

Keep old tech alive! Hack the planet!! :hacker:

I did more cursed shit to a computer! This is a Lenovo ThinkPad T530, and it's running Windows 98.

WINDOWS. FUCKING. 98. That is not a typo.

This is extremely cursed and made possible by a madman who put together a package of drivers for modern hardware, SATA and NVMe support, support for more RAM, newer CPUs, and more. As in, hardware Windows 98 loses its shit over!

Check out the Win98 Quickinstall project here!

Spotify sued Anna's Archive and won a $322 million default judgment against them, but here's the thing...

How are you gonna get that money when you don't even know who the fuck you're suing??

Anna isn't a person or an entity or anything! You idiots might as well sue a dead grandma like you tired doing in the 2000s!

Sony: Physical discs are obsolete. The future is digital only. Me: Okay, then here's my 22 year old PlayStation 2, a modded Network Adaptor with SATA, a 500GB SSD, a FreeMCBoot memory card, and a bunch of PS2 ISOs I grabbed off Myrient before they closed up shop. Oh, and here's my PS3 with PS3HEN installed, and I have a bunch of games on the 1TB SSD I installed in it... Sony: NO WAIT NOT LIKE THAT

Until @Blender reads the entire goddamn room and realizes that people don't want AI or LLMs anywhere NEAR their works, no one should use Blender, contribute to it, or anything. Freeze package upgrades in your distro or just uninstall it completely. Hard fork the whole thing and let the Blender Foundation die off. #FuckAI #FuckAnthropic #AIisGarbage

Doesn't really need saying but fuck Microslop and fuck their entire twisted, retched operation.

The DOJ giving Microslop only a little slap on the wrist and a "that was very naughty don't do it again" back in 1998 was a major mistake.

TL;DR don't use Chrome. Don't let friends use Chrome. Fuck Microsoft and fuck Google. Reading one's files without consent is extreme invasion of privacy.

Burn Big Tech to the fucking GROUND. 🔥

LinkedIn Is Illegally Searching Your Computer

Microsoft is running one of the largest corporate espionage operations in modern history. Every time any of LinkedIn’s one billion users visits linkedin.com, hidden code searches their computer for installed software, collects the results, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers and to third-party companies including an American-Israeli cybersecurity firm. The user is never asked. Never told. LinkedIn’s privacy policy does not mention it. Because LinkedIn knows each user’s real name, employer,

EDIT: Still in need of food money!

Ahoy, Chooms! I need to buy some groceries and toiletries and my funds are running short. I also need to get dishes and cutlery.

Goal is $250 for food and to buy some plates and silverware for my pad.

Currently at $70/$250

@socketwench @jaggi And the Glass UI is, for lack of a better term... YUCK. I know it wasn't perfect either, but at least Aqua was visually pleasing and worked very well for what it was. For that I'd much rather stick to the older macOS versions if I needed a Mac for anything.

@Faintdreams Rockbox is not destructive and doesn't override the iPod's Pixo OS (its internal OS). It merely sits alongside it and patches the iPod bootloader to boot Rockbox over Pixo. But dual booting is an option and the whole process is completely reversible and will leave your iPod stock again. Think of it like dual booting different OSes on your computer... rather than boot the preinstalled system; you installed another OS alongside it and want to use that one instead.

@eighthave@social.librem.one Why I keep saying that Android should be hard forked and completely made independent of Google while the licensing permits it. Because once they decide to relicense Android under some proprietary license or slap a whopping big NDA to even glimpse at its code, we are collectively fucked. Distros are great but a hard fork is key.

@thomasbeagle@mastodon.nz None of these techbros, cryptobros, or AI bros are nerds or hackers or anything. They shit filled, limp dicked, vengeful technofascists. All they want is money and power. They're poseurs. They have zero connection to nerd culture or anything other than "hey everyone look at me I'm obviously such a nerd". They're on the same level as nearly every character in The Bag Bang Theory: shallow, soulless concepts of what nerds are like. We're not ruled by nerds. We're ruled by psychos.
