Centralization has never been more dead than it's been in 2026 and GitHub shows it once more. Smaller, isolated political blocs hosting their own forges and servers with their own rules and limited external federation, with no consistent global view or firehose, seem like the future right now, for better or worse.

I'm not sure if we've ever been at a point in history before where competence was an active hindrance to your professional success in the way it is now

Doesn't work without a Google/Apple-tied device btw. There is absolutely no story for how this would work on a desktop, anything without a Google/Apple account, or open source OS at all either.

If a German citizen gets sanctioned by the US government, once this is implemented (later this year), that means they will no longer be able to be a participating member of German society, e.g. to show their (digital) driver's license to traffic police

So, it turns out the German implementation of eIDAS (electronic ID wallet for e.g. age attestation) will require an Apple/Google account to function
Absolutely pathetic

I hate that I'm saying this but yk between California, the EU, and Brazil, the California bill is the one that actually kind of makes sense

Matrix (specifically Element with Spaces) is the only platform that will one day provide an experience similar to what Discord provides today on an open, federated, secure protocol.
Everything else is a distraction in my eyes, even if there are still some rough edges here and there today.

Lmao, that's hilarious
And yeah, I mean I mostly use LLMs as a way to find _where to do stuff_ in the first place, not to do actual stuff. Think "I get a flicker on my boot screen between the Asus Logo and the GNOME logo" → Plymouth etc.

I can just ask an LLM to write a NBD server in Go now and it uses `github.com/pojntfx/go-nbd` all on it's own, no internet required

2026-01-29 00:00:47 CET

It's so cool when you realize your project is now part of an LLM's training data

Like, for some reason it's now decided to just upload everything to a folder named "InstantUpload" (????) instead of the Photos folder. Why? Nobody knows. Can I stop it? Nope, changing the destination does nothing.
On iOS, I login, enable automatic upload, and done ...

Literally the only thing I want to use it for is to upload my pictures to my cloud automatically and it even fails at that primitive task

It's always been a balance of embracing new technologies (and reaping the benefits it might have - while also dealing with the constant distraction of shiny new things) vs. staying narrow and fighting scope creep, but potentially becoming obsolete.
I feel like as we become older, we all lean towards the latter. And sometimes, that's a good thing (I'm glad I ignored the whole serverless and crypto stuff), and sometimes it's a bad thing (very happy I jumped on the k8s bandwagon)

I found some (crash free & with TÜV) for below €60k (smth like $80k CAD here). It's still hella expensive but not totally crazy compared to the cost of new cars these days, plus it's still analog enough to not be full of nonsense subscriptions ...
For the actual fun of driving it though, the 1st or 2nd gen TT is also incredible haha

I wish Germany had an actual free market party. Like one that actively worked on creating a free trade agreement with our largest trading partner (China), one that revives TTIP, one that actively works against the current economic isolationism of both the left and the right

A new release of #Multiplex, the app that lets you watch torrents together in a way similar to Apple's SharePlay and Amazon's Prime Video Watch Party, is out!
This brings the latest and greatest #GNOME and #libadwaita technologies, modernizes the underlying dependencies, enhances accessibility, and makes it easier to contribute to the project with improved contributor documentation and a rewrite of the UI markup!
And more is to come soon-ish, so stay tuned 🥳

RISC-V is by far the most important development aside from the continued proliferation of Linux in the broader CS landscape atm IMHO

But why? Wouldn't the only use case for this be to develop on system components? In which case hell yeah that sounds awesome but that's also .01% of desktop computer users

> With postmarketOS, I plan to provide exactly the same level of immutable simplicity / stability, but with APK's local package database left intact, so you can mount a mutable sysext and then go tinker and do whatever you want on your system.
Oh no I think that makes a lot of sense for postmarketOS specifically, and as a dev I see myself using something like this. But for end users I really want it to be impossible to change the rootfs without sandboxes.

As a dev, personally I really value having a direct relationship with my users with no one between them and I. The DMA gives every EU citizen the right to this now too, so the regulatory environment is pretty clear on it as well. Flatpak finally makes this possible on Linux, and I think it's the primary reason why it's the future compared to the old sea of packages. The time of middle men in software is over

> You're giving this take at the same time as we're seeing more and more supply chain attacks exploiting exactly this model (where the language comes with a package manager).
Honestly I think that's just a matter of most software these days being written this way/with heavy use of per-language packages. Ofc if most software is written this way most of the vulnerabilites of the supply chain will be made through that infrastructure

I think the problem mostly is that "sea of packages" OSes don't support very basic requirements of modern apps. Multiplex depends on a specific version of the `pion` WebRTC library, but weron depends on a different specific version of that library too. With a sea of packages and no Flatpak - no way to model that environment. APT, DNF etc. don't really allow different (minor) versions of the same package locally for a lot of (good) reasons :)

With immutable distros I think it's the only viable take :)
