I won't explicitly say why Arch Linux refused DHH's sponsorship offer. It's not my place to do so.
But it shouldn't be hard to figure out.

No, #ArchLinux is not associating with DHH or any of his projects. I'd sooner resign.
Completed my first V4 bouldering route last night. When I started climbing late last year, I could only do up to V2.

@k3ym0@infosec.exchange @skinnylatte@hachyderm.io I mean yeah, but I'll put it this way: Proton sells its service on how unbelievably private it is and how they'd never give away your identity. When they turn around and do it, it stings far more than another company who never made those promises doing the same. Kinda like Target and DEI: it was a complete 180 from the way they'd sold their brand.
@buddiesofbudgie@floss.social 10.10 has arrived in Arch Linux! I know it took a while, but I wanted to make sure there weren't any nasty bugs arising from the new Wayland backend. Update away!

@WakinUniverseJo@rivals.space @skinnylatte@hachyderm.io I switched to https://forwardemail.net It doesn't currently have a web UI, so I use Thunderbird with it.
Good resource for FLOSS projects that have accepted or promoted LLM usage: https://codeberg.org/small-hack/open-slopware
Guess I'll be switching away from a few tools...
Average Steam gamer experience
The English #Wikipedia article on the Canon EOS series of cameras was painstakingly rewritten by me over the past few months. A few days ago, it was reviewed and accepted as a Good Article (less than 1% of Wikipedia articles have Good Article status). I also submitted some fun facts for the Did You Know section on the Wikipedia homepage, which also got approved! The current version of the article is over 99% my words.
Give it a read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EOS
Looks like vkcheck is going to be my first published piece of software that actively supports Windows.
Still Linux-first though.

@georgepenney Are NZ mini-fauna broadly as dangerous as Aussie mini-fauna?
I've encountered one of Maryland's two most dangerous spiders (the black widow), but their reputation exceeds their practical danger... We don't have much to fear spider-wise at this latitude.
Worth noting that flatpak-builder isn't the only piece of software that I've discovered doesn't support SHA-256 Git repos. Cocogitto doesn't, nor does Zed's Git plugin. I'm starting to think the Git ecosystem isn't particularly ready for Git 3.0.

@h3mmy Fells Point, the inner harbor, Cross Street Market in Federal Hill, Little Italy.
Specific places: The aquarium, the zoo, Amicci's (Italian food), Abbey Burger (the best burgers I've ever had), Samos (Greek takeout food), the Maryland Science Center.
Also Slainte upstairs if your friend wants to hit up an Irish pub.
If your friend likes baseball and the timing works out, maybe worth going to a game at Camden Yards. It's considered one of the best baseball stadiums in the country
I paid $140 for this 5 or 6 years ago
This was an incredible morning for #serebitBackyard! I got photos of FIVE different bird species, two of which I've never captured on camera while they're at the feeder.
First up are the two crested regulars, a gorgeous male Northern Cardinal and a Blue Jay:

@soller@floss.social You and me both, man. Genuinely I think the LLM push in the software space has made it harder for me to enjoy working on FLOSS. It's become so hard to avoid.

@ebassi@mastodon.social No matter which project you work on, no matter your views on licensing, features, or feedback, there are two things that unite us above all else:
Love for open source, and distaste for slop.

@pixelcluster Do you intend for a version of this to *eventually* be upstreamed into the kernel?
Threw a hail mary today. Let's hope it's caught.

This was on my (LCD screen) phone at max brightness. I'll see if I do any better on my desktop.

@Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de I doubt this will be supported, but just in case: is there a plan to support preemptive requests for more storage? I'm currently nowhere near the cap, but if possible (and once the grace period has ended) I'd like to preemptively request the next step up from Snowflake just in case I need more storage for e.g. website resources or release binaries.
NO MORE NEW LENSES FOR A WHILE. I have enough.

@Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de Is there a client-side warning visible outside of Storage Overview for when your account is approaching your set storage limit? E.g. a banner on the homepage would suffice.

@skinnylatte@hachyderm.io I jumped off of them for unrelated reasons. This just reinforces my decision.
