Wha, why?

jolla-devices.com seems to ship to a ton of places. I just got a Sony Xperia with SailfishOS. Seems pretty decent so far. I’m in the US with Mint Mobile.

With a big caveat that it’s not fully FLOSS. But it is a Linux phone.

If you choose to disable all vehicle connectivity, it will prevent data from leaving the vehicle, but it will also limit or disable certain functionality in the vehicle (e.g., navigation, lane keeping assistance, and over-the-air updates, which provide new features, better performance, safety enhancements, and bug fixes).

Yeah… wtf. Lane keeping requires an internet connection?? So what happens if you’re driving through a zone with poor reception??

Exactly what I’m feeling… I don’t know of any companies that aren’t drinking the koolaid. My friend recently got laid off. He suspects it was because it was constantly pushing back on AI slop from other engineers.

I’ve been skipping the AI questions on recent company surveys… a few days ago, my manager directly asked me for “my thoughts on AI” during our 1:1… kinda freaked me out… I didn’t say anything bad about AI, but I also wasn’t gushing over how much I love AI (I hate AI)… I feel like they’re watching me a little more closely now… I’m going to start answering that I love AI on our surveys now… 😢

I don’t feel like they genuinely care about discovering if AI works. The AI questions are usually like: “Do you like AI?” and the answers are like “A: Yes”, “B: FUCK YES”, or “C: omg please more AI!”

Huh, just from browsing the homepage, this seems to be more for searching local files.

Recommendations only appear in the mobile app.

Holy moly! There they are! Thank you!!!

I’ve been mostly using the website!

I recently signed up for Qobuz as well… The plan is to stream for a while, but buy music along the way so I’m not left with nothing at the end like Spotify.

I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong but… Do recommendations not work at all? It seems like the recommendations are some global list for everyone, not a personalized list based on what I’m listening to. I’ve been trying to click the heart icon for stuff I like, but it doesn’t seem to change the recommendations…

It’s satire, but also fully functional. And they take money.

So, it’s a bit like your boss saying: you’re fired! LOL. Hahahaha. It’s a joke! Laugh! But, also you are really fired.

LOL.

Before, the whole world operated on “security through obscurity”…

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. 😂 🤡

Adversarial interoperability. I like it! Great video!

If you’re talking about switching your current phone to Linux, yeah, idk.

But, if you’re willing to purchase a new device, then the Jolla C2 or the Sony Xperia 10 III apparently run SailfishOS decently.

(I recently ordered an Xperia 10 III from Jolla Devices with SailfishOS. I was hoping it could become my main phone…)

Sounds right != Right

Sounds like an AI SlopTuber.

Stupid click-bait headline. It makes it sound like Wikipedia has an AI agent, “Wikipedia’s AI agent”.

Wikipedia’s AI agent row likely just the beginning of the bot-ocalypse

Should be this:

Wikipedia’s fight about AI agents likely just the beginning of the bot-ocalypse

sovereignty != isolation
Codeberg != isolation

There’s not a readily-available European alternative to Github, and no, Codeberg is not one, because the value of GH is not just hosting code, it’s being a well-known place to find code.

Codeberg is absolutely an alternative hosting place that is ready to go today. Medium and large players like Zig, Guix, Librewolf, Forgejo, and Comaps are on Codeberg. These aren’t random people with projects that no one uses. These are large projects with lots of collaborators that ship software to lots of people. (Even Alpine Linux seems to be experimenting with Codeberg.)

Codeberg has a similar UI/UX to GitHub. It’s got CI too, either traditional CI with Woodpecker, or you can migrate your GitHub Actions to Forgejo Actions (which are similar).

Codeberg is big and popular enough that it shows up in web search results, search for “zig source code” and you’ll get a result for Codeberg. It’s not like people only search for code in the GitHub search bar.

It’s also not that hard to host on Codeberg… especially if they’re already doing something disruptive like forking…

Wait, is SailfishOS not Android based??

Oh, snap! I fell asleep on this! I didn’t realize it was a Linux phone!

Daaaamn it! I just bought a Fairphone…

You do have to ask for permission. https://docs.codeberg.org/ci/

Asking permission involves creating an issue on the Codeberg-e.V./requests repo: https://codeberg.org/Codeberg-e.V./requests/issues/new?template=ISSUE_TEMPLATE%2FWoodpecker-CI.yaml

Here’s an example issue asking permission for CI: https://codeberg.org/Codeberg-e.V./requests/issues/1663

They get back to you fairly quickly. I think the main thing they check for is if your project is FOSS. They don’t seem very strict otherwise.

After you get permission, you can go to https://ci.codeberg.org/login to access CI.

You’ll also need to create a .woodpecker folder in your repo.

Woodpecker docs are here: https://woodpecker-ci.org/docs/usage/intro

# .woodpecker/my-first-workflow.yaml  
when:  
  - event: push  
    branch: main  

steps:  
  - name: build  
    image: debian  
    commands:  
      - echo "This is the build step"  
      - echo "binary-data-123" > executable  
  - name: a-test-step  
    image: golang:1.16  
    commands:  
      - echo "Testing ..."  
      - ./executable  

I mean, if Zig and Guix can do it. It’s possible.

I’m in a similar boat. So far:

• I started mirroring GitHub to Codeberg
• I added CI to Codeberg

Next I gotta update the readme on GitHub telling everyone that I’m going to move to Codeberg. I’ll let that sit for a few months.

Also, I gotta update consumers like homebrew to consume from Codeberg instead.

I was gonna close/merge any open PRs on GitHub.

Issues, I’m not totally sure about. I thought I read there was a way to migrate those. Although, I’m kiiinda ok with starting fresh… not totally sure this part needs more thought.

Once the Codeberg repo is ready, I’ll make the GitHub repo read-only, with the readme pointing to Codeberg.

Way, way, way down the line, I’d consider deleting the GitHub repo (and finally my account).

I’m OK with breaking things. I’m gonna try my hardest to not break stuff, but I’m not going to let the fear of breaking stuff prevent me from getting on ShitHub by Macroslop.

takes deep breath

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Just switch to Codeberg already.
