Well, screw that.

Omarchy sucks because it's creator is a scumbag racist.

But also, he's just some guy who used "AI" to make a slop distro. Don't reward him for being lazy.

#FOSS #FLOSS #OpenSource #Linux

I cannot believe I'm just realizing this now. All the chatter about #Omarchy is *hype*. It's not [edit] the only #FOSS/ #FLOSS project getting money [/edit], but we're hearing about it bc certain people *want it known* that the racist is getting money.

Upgrade complete! We can now build pmOS #duranium images for more devices. Starting slow to monitor builder scalability, so only going to add a few more initially.

More devices mean more chances to try immutable #Linux on phones. More testers means faster bug spotting & feedback ❤

Which device do you want to test? Only pmOS supported devices with EFI boot can be added. Have another in mind that's not in the poll? Let us know!

The current list of devices/images is here: https://duranium.postmarketos.org/

CERN is dropping #RHEL for #Debian. All 2200+ systems by the end of the year.

The reason being is that the "-march=x86-64-v2" compiler flag default as "forced obsolescence" for old hardware.

It's not without headaches, mostly due to "the lack of standard tooling for automated building and publishing of packages - a lot of gaps in the official tooling. There are also a number of tools not supporting multiple versions of the same packages."

I noticed today that an update to the #Linux #Zoom client has made it start proactively reading _everything_ written to the X11 clipboard.

If you keep interesting secrets in your clipboard – particularly, if a password manager uses it as a means of getting the password to where it needs to be – this might be a thing you need to know about!

A note from LWN

https://lwn.net/Articles/1090585/

#LWN #Linux

With my lifestyle now, I don't frequently check headlines. But I just saw that the Epic Games Store is coming to Linux with an official native version! What a time to be alive.

That doesn't mean Tim Sweeney gets a pass for constantly insulting Linux gamers, but I love to see the adoption.

Late Night Linux artwork

Y'all, @jeb2's "Stamp" email client is now available in the GNOME Nightly flatpak repository! Go ahead and test it!

You can find details about the nightly repository here: https://nightly.gnome.org

Screenshot of GNOME Software's details page for the "Stamp" app, showing a prominent orange "Install" button just above the "GNOME nightly" repository selection for Stamp. The partially-seen desktop wallpaper image shows one of David Revoy's improvised artworks during the 2023 Creative Freedom Summit. The character is looking upwards in the general direction of the "Install" button with the same determination you will have to test the application, obviously.
