Since #December seems to be the "shopping month", here is some shameless plug and gentle reminder: 2023 saw the release in #CD of kokori's #rootkit.#kokori is a #Portuguese post-cyberpunk #industrial duo (from which I'm ½). Here's an example of what you can find on this #album:https://youtu.be/90s9e3rxh48#music

This year's #IDAD (International Day Against #DRM ) was marked with the news that #Sony - once again - decided to screw their customers over with DRM.Yes, Sony's rootkit scandal was already 18 years ago, but if some of us still complain about it, it is because the lesson wasn't learned. The proof is that now, 18 years later, Sony keeps shipping products and "selling" them with DRM, for the obvious and inevitable purpose of restricting their users.This is evil, and inexcusable. As usual, @pluralistic puts it better than I do: https://mamot.fr/@pluralistic/111545234851924346

I'm starting #MaradoWeekly - weekly taking a picture and showing it to you. For #2024, those pictures are going to be from a #WeeklyRecord - a hashtag you're invited to use and share with me if you also want to take a weekly picture of a record.It is not "my favorite records", or "five star records" or anything of the sort, they'll simply be "the record I decided to shoot and share this week". And since this is supposed to be a photo hashtag, I'll shut up now, and leave you with the first picture of the series ;-)

On #GoogleIO's keynote, it is said that Google Search has been getting an increase in user satisfaction, and I feel like there must be something weird going on,because all I read everywhere on news, blogs and social media is that people are feeling that Google Search is getting worse and worse (which I also feel). Are they in a bubble? Am I in a bubble? What's going on?

#IL no twitter: "Estes vieram estragar e destruir enquanto a Iniciativa Liberal trabalha também para defender o ambiente."Programa da IL sobre o ambiente: "uma rota política reformista, sustentada numa economia livre e aberta, capaz de produzir as soluções e transformações tecnológicas e infraestruturais de que precisamos." [isto é: solucionismo tecnológico]; "mais tecnologia e cada vez mais barata, para acelerar a transição energética rumo a um futuro não só mais eficiente, mas mais abundante." [idem]; "A Iniciativa Liberal está comprometida com os objetivos estabelecidos no Acordo de Paris, e considera fundamental que Portugal alcance uma economia de carbono líquido zero até 2050." [meta que segundo a IEA tem de ser atingida em 2035 para cumprir com o Acordo de Paris].Ou seja, o que os miúdos vieram mesmo estragar e destruir foi a fantasia que a IL tenta espalhar de que eles estão do lado da solução e não do problema quanto à crise climática.#criseclimática

There's always something more urgent: I've been known for a long time that sooner or later I'd feel prompted to switch from #github to somewhere else (since 2018 at least!), but I've been postponing and only very slowly flirting with the idea... That didn't work too bad for me: if I had rushed into it I would have probably migrated to #gitlab, before knowing about the more objectionable sides to it. In the end, 2025 was the year I finally acted upon the urge to move. I did not do a very thorough analysis of the alternative hosts - what I have been reading about them along the years felt enough, and I easily decided to choose #codeberg. Being hasty like that, alas, was a mistake: I just now found - during this slow and time-consuming process of deciding what and how to migrate - that there is a low repository limit on codeberg: "The owner has already reached the limit of 100 repositories." I'm not complaining, mind you, and those "lucky 100" that are already there will stay - at least as a sort of backup. But this means that codeberg is not for me - and so this time I turn to you, the #mastodon community.What github alternative, not self-hosted, should I move my >100 projects into?

@lightweight Portuguese insurance company Tranquilidade migrates desktops to GNU/Linux, reported a costs cut of 80%.Here's a link to a presentation about it, there is a study case paper about it published somewhere, but probably in Portuguese. https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/desktop-linux-na-tranquilidade-opentech-2014/36740025Maybe @gvlx knows where the paper can be found (or other migration stories with figures).

How bad was the "Digital Sovereignty Summit"?Heise explains: https://www.heise.de/en/opinion/Analysis-of-the-Digital-Sovereignty-Summit-Open-Source-Gets-Scolded-11084765.htmlBut I'll highlight one thing - the Declaration for European Digital Sovereignty, published and signed there, has this ridiculous sentence:"Open-source solutions can play an important role enhancing digital sovereignty, provided they meet high cybersecurity standards and are complemented by reliable proprietary technologies where appropriate." #Sovereignty #EU #OpenSource

"With AI, I can replace 20 software engineers with 1 'prompt engineer'"A few months later: "plain text editor that was rewritten by AI to be more than that with RCE vulnerability".(but congratulations to Microsoft for managing to put a remote execution vuln in something that should never have anything 'remote', like notepad)
