    I don't often listen to corporate broadcast radio, but today one of the stations in my market were using the phrase "guaranteed human" on most of their bumpers.

    Maybe 2 out of 3 yards in my neighborhood have anti AI/data center signs in their yards.

    Very few things unify people to this extent. Free software "leaders" are on the wrong side of history on this issue and need to get out of the house more to understand why.

                                We’re currently working on Parch Immutable, an immutable edition of Parch GNU/Linux that is planned to become the foundation of our future commercial project, Apadana.

                                Right now, Parch Immutable is built around bootc, and we’re testing its potential as a stable, lightweight, and modern operating system for personal desktops.

                                In the initial beta release, software installation will primarily be handled through Flatpak. We’re also shipping Distrobox and Waydroid by default, allowing users to run additional Linux software and Android applications without compromising the base system.

                                Our primary desktop environment remains KDE Plasma. We’ve also made contributions to KDE from time to time, particularly around Persian localization and translation.

                                We’re planning to bring the same architecture to Parch Mobile as well, with an experimental build coming soon for testing.

                                We’d genuinely appreciate your technical feedback, ideas, and suggestions that could help us improve Parch Immutable and, more broadly, contribute to the growth of the free and open-source software ecosystem in Iran and internationally.

                                                                                                                          Durch den Abend führt uns Jens @qbi , den einige vielleicht noch von unserer Fediverse-Sprechstunde zum Thema BookWyrm kennen.

                                                                                                                          Als Administrator und Entwickler kennt Jens Issues aus der Praxis und wird uns zeigen, wie sie funktionieren und wie wir selbst gute und hilfreiche Issues erstellen können.

                                                                                                                          Und keine Sorge: Ihr müsst weder programmieren können noch Entwickler sein! 😊

                                                                                                                          Gerade das soll ein Thema für uns alle sein. Denn Open-Source-Projekte und damit auch viele Anwendungen im Fediverse leben davon, dass Nutzer Fehler melden, Ideen einbringen und Rückmeldungen geben.

                                                                                                                          Vielleicht verlieren wir morgen gemeinsam auch ein bisschen die Scheu vor GitHub, Codeberg & Co. 😉

The moderate opinion is however that LLMs are constantly improving and will eventually take over more and more tasks from humans and increase productivity. But are LLMs actually getting smarter, or just better at fooling us?

                                                                                                                                        There was a time when the free & open source software movement stood in opposition to big tech.

                                                                                                                                        It's become a cliché now, but when Microsoft found a new way to enshittify Windows, the natural response was "install Linux", because open source stood in opposition to bug tech.

                                                                                                                                        Yet with the emergence of LLMs, there's a significant number of open source projects that gladly accept Claude-generated code. Some maintainers are open advocates.

                                                                                                                                        So is it time for a fork, when an explicitly open and AI-free software movement separates from FOSS projects that openly embrace AI?

                                                                                                                                                                            Mostly because I want Debian-ish stability, KDE, reasonably current software, and something that will happily run on moderately elderly hardware without demanding a blood sacrifice to the upgrade gods.

                                                                                                                                                                            And I increasingly want to escape the Canonical Slop™.

                                                                                                                                                                            Which leaves me with the obvious question:

                                                                                                                                                                            If I want KDE, stability, reasonably current packages, decent support for older hardware, no Canonical nonsense, AND a Free Software project that is taking the whole GenAI mess seriously… WHAT THE FUCK DO I RUN?

                                                                                                                                                                            Debian Testing was looking so promising, too. 😭

                                                                                                                                                                                                                https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/34290

                                                                                                                                                                                                                1 of 3 GitHub Continuous Integration checks passed (the other two are queued, hopefully they'll run smoothly; though since one was OK already, that is a good sign at least!).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                From the release notes: https://chrony-project.org/news.html it seems as if a lot of the new features? Are actually supporting OpenBSD!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                So, that isn't really a big deal for MacPorts' users, though maybe OpenBSD users will think that chrony is worth checking out? Admittedly, the OpenBSD project already has OpenNTPD, though chrony: supports PTP too.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                Observational curiosity: 4.9 was released, apparently exactly a year after 4.8 was released (August 27th). I am guessing maybe that was intentional?

Pricing still to come, but if you would like a 14-day trial code for the private beta, PM me on here and I'll hook you up. 📡🗞️
