So apparently this is how JOBS.NOW works.

Any American, living in an American city, with tech skills, should be applying to these right now. Even if you have a job, even if you're not interested in leaving, this will cause SO MUCH TROUBLE for these scum companies.

Sorry for not updating you guys much. Been a lot of boring under-the-hood work and I can't talk about that forever. Promise you we are moving towards our goal.

Half-Life 1 can now run on GNU/Hurd

(specifically xash3d-fwgs from git, on newest release Debian GNU/Hurd 13)

What are they hiding.

@codrus Yea, I'd avoid Dell, HP, Lenovo, Toshiba, Apple, and at least Sony. I realize like two of these companies don't even sell computers at this point, but... aww got to keep boycotting evil. Basically all these companies have instituted DRM on wifi card slots and/or designed their systems such that you can't utilize standard components. The goals were pretty apparent in that they are or were trying to force people to buy replacement parts from them. They were trying to copy the 1980s US car company model. Produce crap, then charge to repair it (this is where the industry made its money until people caught on and started buying foreign based manufactured cars that didn't suck), or at least force everyone into their ecosystem to whatever extent they could (Apple in particular, but it's definitely not exclusive, I mean, Dell also did it back in the 1990s with proprietary power supplies and crap like that). Actually I was looking at servers the other day and realizing other companies like Super Micro also pulling shit like this. Though they do have some standardized motherboards (ATX, EATX, etc) and I probably can't be 100% certain the reason for it. There might in this particular instance be some technical benefit/reason for why they do it. I doubt it, but... maybe.

And people continue to buy from Dell why?

Just say GNOME

Nearly half of U.S. states have some sort of online age restrictions in place already, and the Supreme Court recently paved the way for even more age blocks on online sexual content.

I really wanna try self-hosting some stuff (#PeerTube, #Owncast and a personal site), but figuring out what to rent and how to do it, for someone who does not know anything about web-development?

It's just too much

I guess I'll have to try and do one at a time, but I would prefer to be able to set it all up using something like #YunoHost, so I can have all the services on one VPS.

It's so lame that OpenAI don't even provide their oss models through their own web UI. They won't even dogfood them. Zero investment.

So apparently we are within the last 60 days of dial-up AOL being a thing.
