  • Facebook released an AI product that you can give access to all your sensitive data and accounts (ID, bank account, mail, credit card, etc) and the only useful things it can do is communicate with “specific partner companies” (probably just an API) and “cancel unused subscriptions”.

    It also desperately wants to take over your hobbies in so far as they happen online, and builds up a detailed profile of your friends and you shopping preferences.

    And for some reason, journalists that write all this put extremely positive titles on their articles (“I was blown away”) 🤷‍♂️











  • Gitea is not fundamentally different than Forgejo, Forgejo is just a better fork of it. Better in terms of: more contributors, more users, dogfooding (Gitea is built on Github 🤦).

    But yes, GitLab is like the Mac of Git forges: everything is included, doing everything their own way, vendor lock, very expensive. There is a community edition but serious users will run into its limitations and it does not integrate neatly with external solutions.

    Forgejo is IMO the Linux of Git forges: low on resources, expandable, hackable, stable.

    Is this a joke? Everyone on the Fediverse has been talking about the outrageous name of the latest GNU Parallel release, and that it is hosted on a Nazi-run blockchain.

    Here it is for the downvoters: GNU as a warm inclusive community.

    GNU Parallel release named “rape gang inquiry” after a project by a farn-right UK politician. That’s not a “random headline”, that’s a dog whistle.

    Second sentence of the release page: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/parallel/2026-06/msg00000.html

    It is available for download at: lbry://GnuParallel:4

    lbry is a blockchain founded by Jeremy Kauffman, who:

    • called for governors taking measures against COVID spread to be tortured in Guantanamo Bay
    • stated that he wanted “less democracy,”
    • campaigned multiple times for child labor to be legalised
    • posted on X that "Anyone who murders Kamala Harris would be an American hero.
    • has criticized the end of apartheid in South Africa
