Some keywords: backend / Ruby / Ruby on Rails / Go (Golang) / AWS / Terraform / frontend / Type­Script / React / full-time / remote-first

Some more details on what I offer here: denisdefreyne.com/notes/get-me

In five years, I expect OpenMandriva and Devaun to be the only usable Linux distros left.

Linux in 2025: Less Software, Less Features, Less Tested... & Slower

Big Tech & the major Linux foundations are driving Desktop Linux into the ditch. Plus: No "Linux Sucks" this year. That would be like kicking a crippled puppy.

Bonnie Freeman, Ian Freeman's wife shared an important post on X today:

"Please share this video with anyone who doesn’t understand the Ian Freeman case! Jacob Hornberger of the Future of Freedom Foundation explains exactly what the government did to get him imprisoned and out of their hair for 8 years!"

@beardalaxy Not many people know how to deal with it either. I'm not trying to make it so that nobody can ever use it, that's impossible. I just don't want it to be accessed easily.

I am okay with disk encryption if the owner of the device enables it themselves and understands at least a little bit about it.

Microsoft enabling it on people's computers without their knowledge is really scummy.

I have full disk encryption on my ThinkPad laptop with Linux and I'm okay with that... because I set it up and I know about it.

#microsoft #encryption #linux #thinkpad

@Dubbub You can't ride and shoot at the same time? That's kind of lame.

For whatever reason, I never thought of hiding my game's debug mode via a command line argument. It's brilliant because you need to know the exact argument to enable the debug mode and most people don't open programs via command line these days anyway.

Someone put it on Hackernews and it got flagged/banned as well.

The source code for xlibre can be found on Github:

@alatiera People talk a big talk about free and open software, but then the devs are this guy, and you see why it takes Steam OS to get anything moving.
