[#]OpenAI and #nvidia jobs have just been made redundant by #deepseek #AI.

That's a small victory for me, I thought I would be the first to go !

For me the best track out of the three released so far. It's solid, melodic, technical, it ticks all boxes expected of a DT song, but it doesn't try to do more.

While the teenager in me rejoices that Portnoy is back, I also remember that by the time he left DT had become a bit formulaic already.

This is it. This social crap is the last straw. #plex is uninstalled from my #nas, and my account is deleted.

[#]jellyfin is now up and running, and it's looking great ! The longest part was to build & install the Jellyfin Tizen client app on my TV.

The #factcheck system has always looked like a make-believe game to me. "We are promoting hateful far-right content, but look ! a small subset of it is going to be fact-checked, so we are nice people !"

If they were neutral, such content would fall down to the bottom of the cesspool, and would really never escape the nazi/troll bubble.

Unpopular opinion (it seems?).

Anybody else thinking that the main issue with #meta (and #xitter for that matter) is not that they are "allowing fake news and hate speech" (which while extremely unpleasant is a side effect of free speech), but that they are editorializing everyone's feed and actively promoting such content?

Damn good summary of the #wayland situation on #linux desktop ...

After 16 years, fractional scaling is still a mess, while on X11 it's as simple as setting Xft.dpi to the desired value (except in GTK of course, because of the ideological stance that X11 must remain broken).

I'm in no way a security expert. I don't think cups-browsed is enabled anywhere by default, however I'm not knowledgeable enough to understand whether this can be directly exploited through DNS-SD ?

Way to go @mozilla ! I'm sure pissing off your core audience of open source privacy-minded supporters is worth every penny you're going to invest into cramming more GenAI in #firefox.

Ah ! The joys of operating my own #mail infrastructure ...

@tonline is refusing any email delivery from my IP because I do not comply with some shitty EU directive regulating "Information Society Services", which of course doesn't apply to me, as an individual not providing any services to anyone.

So long to an open internet 🫡
