  Updated my #Ubuntu 26.04 machine, suddenly my #chromium #flatpak fails to start and throws: "cups.sock too many levels of symbolic links" Luckily #AskUbuntu user "Gabriele Pigozzo" has the workaround, downgrade bubblewrap: apt install bubblewrap=0.11.1-1ubuntu0.1 Can I just say how grateful I am for the regular, normal, non-LLM, old-skool internet? 😄 https://askubuntu.com/questions/1569675/flatpaks-not-launching-bwrap-cant-resolve-var-run-cups-cups-sock-to...

  Undertime - pick a #meeting time ( https://gitlab.com/anarcat/undertime ) Need to convert/view/compare your #time / #timezone with others, because you work with people all around the globe? This #terminal tool will help you out. Found this terminal #Python gem, because I was looking for an open source and offline alternative. It is quick, to the point and copyleft licensed (AGPLv3). Note: Before I was using TimeAndDate.com ( https://www.timeanddate.com/ ).

  Er is een #DigiD computer programma uitgegeven, eindelijk een smartphone-vrije mogelijkheid 😄 Helaas is het programma enkel beschikbaar voor #Microsoft #Windows en #Apple #MacOS waardoor alsnog burgers buitengesloten worden die vrije software gebruiken (zonder een afhankelijkheid van #BigTech) @DigitaleOverheid @Logius Hoe kunnen we ervoor zorgen dat er een versie komt die op #Linux draait/functioneert/ondersteund is?

  The safest childrens bed, can be found at the Dutch online shop Bol.com (brand: ML Design).

  Apparently this is actually still occurring and he is not the only one and it is not limited to the #USA Showed this to someone (also in his/her 30s) from the #EU and was shocked that this sounded familiar... Let's be the change and prevent our brains from bitrotting away. #LLM #AI Source (unfortunately) was from #X ( #Twitter ): https://x.com/astnkennedy/status/2049942673608352236

  Got forwarded this #LLM / #AI generated music video, with a catchy tune and "interesting" lyrics. It is funny because it is true and reading the comments, at least several other people online agree. And yes, I do not want to know how many trees were burnt or how much water was used to create this music video...

  Tomorrow Chat Control is being forced onto #Europe once again. #ChatControl has been turned down a couple of times already, but it actually has a chance of being vetted now. Please contact your representatives today, or tomorrow morning at the latest, and oppose ChatControl (there is a contact tool on the website of #FightChatControl ). And yes, I am fighting ChatControl to #protect my #children and those of others. https://fightchatcontrol.eu/ Edit: tip: call shadow rapporteurs tomorrow at...

  @BZKopensource werd getipt door een vriend dat https://code.overheid.nl/ eruit ligt met de melding "no available server". Hoe kunnen/moeten we dit melden? En is er een mogelijkheid om de status te checken? (ben vast niet de eerste die dit meldt, toch?) 😉 Bonus vraag: is er iets wat wij (de burgers) kunnen doen? #rijksoverheid #overheid #codeoverheidnl

  Just updated #Firefox to version 151.0.1 and it looks like #bug 2032822 might is gone ( https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2032822 ). Should apparently be fixed as well in >= 152. #Firefox #Mozilla #developers - a big #thankyou for all your hard work. FYI: this bug is about #Firefox menus disappearing / not showing after a monitor turns off, on #Wayland (in my case via #sway ).

  Came back from holiday, updated #Mozilla #Firefox and after grabbing a cup of coffee, suddenly the context menus were broken (e.g. not working/showing). It appears it a bug on Wayland (running Sway) and it can be reproduced by turning your monitor off and on again (yes, really). The bug luckily already had been reported and I hope we'll get some more eyes on it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2032822

  Woke up this morning with a new #Linux #vulnerability in my inbox, Dirty Frag (https://github.com/V4bel/dirtyfrag). #ansible role for mitigation has been created for an 'asap' workaround. Decided to join forces and share knowledge (and code) together with some fellow #opensource minded people at our newly created #Codeberg repo: https://codeberg.org/open-sourcerers/cve_mitigations

  Does anyone know of a good method (may include #FLOSS software) to create #keyboard #shortcut #cheat #sheets ? This may include digital (on screen) and printed options. Background: I am using a #mechanicalkKeyboard and am using it more and more. In a keyboard centric workflow, I tend to forget all available shortcuts. Software I am using: #ubuntu with #sway with #tmux #vim (actually #NeoVIM and neomutt
