systemd has been a complete, utter, unmitigated success
I'm over here still using OpenRC. Mostly because I want to. Some servers I run have systemd on them. systemd is generally nice. OpenRC has finally gained the ability to run user services, which is also very nice.

Firefox is dead to me – and I'm not the only one who is fed up
This article reads like a one star review of a recipe because someone swapped out all the core ingredients and got mad it didn't taste good.

macOS 26 introduces the Containerization Framework: "enables developers to create, download, or run Linux container images directly on Mac"

[email protected] It is certified to be UNIX, yes. But Linux is not UNIX. Not that it would matter if Linux was certified to be UNIX anyhow. UNIX is a certification that you go through and pay for. The kernel beneath is not necessarily binary compatible with other UNIX operating systems.

Google is working to bring album art to Now Playing on your Pixel's lock screen (APK teardown)
Reply in thread
[email protected] yes. Lock screen widgets went away after Android 7, I think. Now, 8(?) years later, we can introduce it as new feature!

Is this actually a legal Jenga setup? Assuming you could actually get the tower to this state without violating the rules?

@[email protected] Pretty sure that ignoring micro-transactions has always been "a thing" to take a stand against. But of course, when it comes to the general public, no one ever does.

The Naked Gun | Official Trailer
This trailer doesn't really have the same vibe as the original. Some funny bits though. Maybe it will be good?

Nuppstadur Farm, Iceland
Reply in thread
@[email protected] the original wood was on the island. After it was all chopped down, driftwood became very valuable. A lot of farm fences still use driftwood to this day in Iceland. Otherwise, most lumber is imported. There's a very (very) limited "logging" industry that produces some lumber, but it isn't really at the scale that could support Iceland being self sufficient for lumber.

Project Gemini FAQ
Reply in thread
Definitely an overreaction lol.
But why are you not sold on Gemini? I mean, does it even need selling? Does Gopher need a selling point? They're both deliberately simple protocols that work basically only on text. Gemini itself was conceived as an alternative to the modern web, deliberately simple in most ways, but not as simple as Gopher.

Mozilla Backs off on Data Collection: Firefox Labs to Not Require Telemetry or Studies in Future Updates
Mozilla seems to not be able to do anything good. No matter what decision they take, it will be perceived as a bad one by some vocal segment of the community.

Should I use the Linux-libre kernel or no?
If you have a wireless card (or don't need wireless) capable of working with Linux Libre, then by all means use it. There is no technological advantage to using Linux-Libre. There are principle advantages. I say this as someone who uses Linux-Libre on my Gentoo laptop (and maintains an overlay with an ebuild for Linux-Libre).

#Mozilla #Pocket and #Fakespot will shut down to focus on #Firefox
Now to read people hating Mozilla for shutting down a service and focusing on the browser.
Which is what people kept saying they should be doing!

Probably some announcement on a loop that they usually have at airports about what to do at security. Although I have no idea why the Secretary of Homeland Security would need to be on one of those videos, or what she would even be saying. Probably something fascist.

Do you have “the” or “a” in your language? What language is it?
Icelandic has no word for "a." A noun without a definite article suffix can be either "noun" or "a noun." Then there is a suffix for definite article (epli "apple" -> eplið "the apple"). There is also a slightly more obscure hinn/hin/hið which can mean "the" as a separate word, but that's not really used in most situations.
