Thank you for your work on Fjord! We're currently evaluating it vs. self-hosting, the comparison at https://fjord.sh/compare has been very useful

Codeberg is one public flagship instance. They are not neutral and don't claim to be. Decisions on what to host are made via elections by e.V. members. Other platforms (GitHub, GitLab, Tangled etc.) will eventually run into this same t

There is a real chance that in 5-10 years, there will be laptops and smartphones running open processors and operating systems with UX and and an OS comparable or better than the proprietary equivalent, but which are effectively useless to

There needs to be a law that makes remote attestation - no matter who provides the root certificates, Google/Apple/GrapheneOS - illegal. There is only one use for this technology right now, and it is to prevent people from doing w

If you head to Twitter right now, the vast majority of bots are blue checks. It seems to actually encourage the opposite, where you trusting that someone paying $8 for an account makes you even more likely to fall for slop

I've found Mastodon to be the best platform for this in 2026. If you're working on something deeply technical, there is a good chance the upstream maintainers for whatever you're using and tons of academics in the field will

Don't see why it wouldn't - as long as pstate etc. works it should be the same. I'd argue it's probably better given that modern desktops use far less resources in the background compared to Windows I bet they don't

I'm really looking forward to having this as the go-to laptop to recommend to devs again. The original Framework chassis was really showing it's age next to e.g. a MacBook Pro or the new XPS 14. Having mainline Linux on a system w

Hey, Fel from the fedi thread here Explanation: https://mastodon.social/@pojntfx/116345725515845020 There is in practice no known way around it for now, and even less so one for regular people, to use this on a device

Re:fediverse - it depends on which communities you're part of. Digital rights, politics here in Canada (see e.g. https://mstdn.ca/@avilewis ), politics in the EU ( https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/abou

It's fun, leading edge Linux distros (e.g. GNOME OS) are actually currently removing `sudo` completely in favour of `run0` from systemd, which fixes this "properly" by using Polkit & transient systemd units instead of set

Corrected - I meant leading edge. Context re:distros mentioned: GNOME OS: https://os.gnome.org/ KDE Linux: https://kde.org/linux/

by pojntfx 7mo ago
GNOME OS uses BuildStream and as a result has no concept of packages at all and no relationship to any distro, KDE Linux is based on Arch. There is no relationship between the two. GNOME OS used to be OSTree based but switched to systemd-sy

by pojntfx 7mo ago
Sorry, not completely separate, yes, but some of the parts of the standard (e.g. systemd-sysext for layering "packages") and closely related things like systemd-sysupdate do actually replace parts of this (esp. ostree).

by pojntfx 7mo ago
bootc and OSTree are both very neat, but the leading edge of immutable Linux distros (GNOME OS, KDE Linux) is currently converging on a different proposal by systemd developers that's standardized by the UAPI Group ( https://

Aren't they literally moving off GitHub _because_ of LLMs and the enshittification optimising for them causes? This line of thinking and these features seem to push people _off_ your platform, not onto it.

For the non-US-American part, that's the Fediverse, the only network that isn't developed and used primarily by US-Americans. As for "wont turn over our data" - it's push-based, that helps to make it a bit harder to
