It's ok to be very annoying when someone tramples on your software freedom and the freedom of others

Impressive work from the Redox OS people lately. I have a lot of respect for that project.

Tidal is better than Spotify, but also the integration and APIs suck so much that I refuse to use it. Has all the same smells as Spotify, plus the usual smells you get from pre-Internet licensing.

New silly idea (I'm collecting a few of these to consider working on over the weekend): Nextcloud Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, File and Email sync client to a Palm PDA

For P2P, non-internet chat platforms (meshcore/meshtastic, for example), does anyone know where the legal liability for things like having a "report content" button and stuff like age verification is?

I spoke at CNCF Vancouver a week ago and the video has been published now! If you're interested in live migration, CRIU/gVisor/KVM etc. and how they all fare for checkpoint/restore, go check it out :)

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

I'm looking forward to doing more Qt work in the new year too. miqt has finally made writing Qt apps in Go a very enjoyable experience, and Kirigami is getting really nice.

New terrible idea I just thought of: Putting a little Meshcore solar repeater on top of a SkyTrain with store-and-forward enabled that physically carries messages messages through the lower mainland

My website finally has a working "last commit" section again, hell yeah

I absolutely love the recent advancements in battery tech. I have a 20Ah battery pack in my backpack all of the time now. That thing would have been so heavy just a few years ago ...

Bun & Anthropic honestly seem like a great match

Twitter is for people who build evil stuff

Mastodon is for people who build good stuff

Bluesky is for people who rebuild evil stuff, except from first principles and with the aesthetics of openness, so people think it's actually good stuff

It's great when app stores have a big warning for proprietary software licenses. Openwashing has probably been the biggest threat to software freedom in the last few years, and it's important to call it out when it happens.

China has both more ton-km per route-km than the US and more p-km per route-km than any European country - and China achieves this on the same network, whereas the US has rounding-error p-km and we have rounding-error t-km west of Ukraine.
it’s always very odd how people talk about rail in a vacuum without mentioning the interstate highway program. Then they get Professor Zuremski to say something that’s arguably not true (the USA has the best freight railroad network).
Very disappointing episode of @planetmoney.bsky.social's The Indicator this morning - basically USA doesn't have a better passenger rail network because cities are far apart, freight is more profitable, and building rail is expensive. But huge factors left unmentioned...

Meshcore is such a lovely technology

Shipping desktop C libraries as Flatpak modules is one of those things I wasn't expecting to like, but it's a genuinely nice way to use them it turns out

Listening to Deep Diving by After when taking the SkyTrain through Metrotown, coming from a lovely meetup about Fedi, is the closest we have to experiencing the future we were promised
