Todd C. Miller has been maintaining the #sudo codebase for over 30 years. This is exactly one of those cases where an entire critical infrastructure is held together by the work of a single volunteer who apparently can’t find anyone willing to sponsor him for some financial support. #opensource #linux #foss #GNU
Just watched a video on how Windows 11 can interfere with dual-boot setups in different ways, with the larger, overarching insight that Windows is doing its best to lock us in.
I feel that, as with climate change, we are at this crossroads but here with our privacy rights. The big companies want us to let go of our privacy and lock ourselves within their systems so we can be spied on in the best way, to feed us as much ads as possible and make us dependent on them (e.g. with "genAI"). Governments support this because they can use it to make us more compliant, control the information we receive and send, and easily target any "rebels".
I'm really grateful to all the people who support open source and alternative systems like Linux. But I worry that in a few decades, most of the Linux - aware people will be gone, or simply unable to work on open-source on their free time because of all the exploitation... I hope "normal people" are waking up about this and installing Linux before it's too late!
I'm personally trying to resist with the following actions:
I have installed #ZorinOS, as dual-boot for now, on 3 computers + supported my partner with their install!
I am asking my IT at work to install #Ubuntu (also dual-boot) on the new computers we are getting. They didn't want to install Zorin for unclear reasons, and seem to be struggling with the dual-boot installation. All of the staff is pushed towards using Windows and other MS products, including Copilot, yes, in a university!
I am exposing my students to Linux and open source software (e.g. Python, Zotero), telling them not to use AI etc. But I am just a postdoc..
I'm trying to figure out how we can promote Linux some more, but it's hard without the support of IT.
are you also doing something about this (helping the world leave Windows' claws, if yes, what)?

Dans les 100 Millions d'Euros de budget nécessaires pour passer de Windows 10 à WIndows 11... Pour une "rénovation" du parc informatique... vraiment nécessaire ? Bien sûr que non !
C'est le principe de la "vente liée" : on achète un ordi, l'OS est inclus, sans proposer de choix ni informer sur les alternatives.

Sooo ... I saw this at NAMM:
The Koda team is Steven Harbor @StevenH (the creator of this sampler), @Jdiggity1, @Land of Missing Parts, and a few other people. I was approached about a year...
#LinuxGaming "poll" Which steam games have you played on Linux that work as well as on Windows (and which ones didn't)?
For example, anyone playing #Skyrim? Is it working well for you? I tried it (the steam version) and it was way too slow with just normal (or even lower) graphical settings.
I don't know if many of you remember Digg or not. It was the premier face of the internet....until it died. Reddit was the competitor that replaced it.
I created a Linux Audio group, so that Linux music makers can have some representation there. If you are interested, please feel free to come and join! :)
Digg was where humans on the internet decided what was cool before bots took over that job. Today, it's where you find your people. The ones chasing weird links, asking better questions, and keeping the internet curious.
Perhaps there are developers here who could contribute to the further development of iPlug2 so that we will soon have more native Linux VST/CLAP plugins. iplug2.discourse.group/t/linux…
So, my client wants the mix a little "fresher". Sounds like #mastering voodoo #EQ to me!
Several routes to go… play with the simple EQs on the master bus with of #Mixbus (10 Pro). Use #Fabfilter, the go-to tool for all kinds of natural-sounding EQing. Or try something else?

A proposal has been laid out for a new X.Org Server "main" Git branch to house their development going forward and cleaning up the development lapses over the past few years. Ultimately the hope is for having a new cleaned-up X.Org Server and XWayland Git branch for shipping new releases in 2026.
Alan Coopersmith of Oracle laid out the proposal today for a new main branch of the X.Org Server Git repository. The main emphasis is on cleaning up the Git state that became cluttered the past few years when now-XLibre developer Enrico Weigelt was making a lot of changes to the codebase that then ended up with a lot of that code being later reverted. Discussions on IRC determined that it may be easier to start over from an early 2024 snapshot of the X.Org Git state and then work from there in weeding out commits that actually remain present day without being reverted.

I går bestilte jeg en Sony Xperia (brugt) for at installere Sailfish OS (Linux distribution fra Jolla i Finland). Jeg har brugt iPhone siden iPhone 2, så det bliver spændende at se hvor nemt det bliver at skifte til Linux.

Vi ved godt, at mange herinde på Mastodon slet ikke har brug for en kampagne som Danmark Skifter. Langt de fleste herinde er nemlig allerede rigtig langt i jeres skifte væk fra Big Tech - og har været det rigtig længe. Alligevel vil vi gerne etablere os herinde på Mastodon - sammen med jer. Vi er helt sikre på, at Mastodon er et rigtig godt sted at være for kampagnen. En kampagne, der kæmper for at vise, at der findes andre måder at organisere vores digitale liv på! #Danmarkskifter
