tinfoil hat on: discord is a company based in the USA, the USA administration saw those teenagers in Nepal supposedly organise a revolt/revolution over discord, sees the inhabitants of Minneapolis organizing against ICE on Signal, and wants to preemptively know which of their citizens are using discord with which accounts in case any of them start organizing on discord.

I have the same preference for personal projects, but when I was working on a corporate team it was really useful to have the “run configs” for intellij checked in so that each new team member didn’t need to set them up by themselves. Some of the setup needed to get the python debugger properly connected to the project could get quite gnarly.

I suspect the Software Heritage Foundation knows about Soft 98 already and has backed up their stuff, though I haven’t personally checked.

In case you omitted the following out of ignorance and not by deliberate choice:

podman unshare can be used to (mostly) painlessly access the files created by rootless podman.

The rest of their blog is pretty great, too!

This is just Saturday…

I hesitate to bring this up because you’ve clearly already done most of the hard work, but I’m planning on attending the following conference talk this weekend that might be of interest to you: https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/VEQTLH-infrastructure-as-python/

I recently went from 0 to 1. Reinstalled my VPS under debian, and decided to run my forgejo instance with their rootless container. Mostly as a learning experience, but also to easily decouple the forgejo version from whichever version my distro packages.

closely followed by Omarchy (I’d argue it’s not a distro, but it presents itself as one, so it gets to be judged as one)

Guess they didn’t get Nadella’s memo about AI use needing to benefit all of humanity…

“At the time of the alleged offences an offline purchase would cost the purchaser about £2.70 for the same number of gold pieces as would be generated by a £6 bond purchased from Jagex,” the court adds. It also amusingly notes that “the number of gold pieces generated by a bond might take some 15 hours to earn by completing in-game tasks.” Get grinding, gamers.

That “15 hours” number seems misleading, I highly doubt a fresh account can make enough money on it’s own in 15 hours to buy a bond (that gives it ~14 days of membership status). I’m no expert at Old School Runescape, but I’ve tried my hand at some moneymaking and most decent methods require a prior investment of many hours just to make them accessible. I wouldn’t be surprised if the average bond grinder has been playing for so many hours that the amortized cost of a bond indeed works out to be around 15 hours of game-play time - though this still only works out as long as at least some people are purchasing bonds from Jagex and then selling them, in-game, to other players for gold.

I’m not sure if this is exactly what you’re looking for, OP, but I do know of https://activitypods.org/.

time for hardcore shuffle to make a comeback?

and to ensure that artists can afford the necessities, add universal basic inco… OK shit I’m at it again.

It’s “funny” how it always seems to come down to this people shouldn’t need to make someone else richer just to survive…

Great summary of the current state of things and of the actors involved. There’s a certain flavor of “oh no, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions!” to this situation that’s quite disheartening.

I’m not sure how the comments are counted, but there may be an increase in comments in Lemmy communities made by accounts from other fediverse software like piefed and mastodon.

Nevermind, I guess…

This study is over 6 months old, why is Fortune.com only writing about it now?

The accounts that post to [email protected] and [email protected] are pretty great. I don’t know any of their IRL names (nor do I wish to, to some extent).
