The year is 2025 and I can listen to pretty much any song ever recorded by even the most obscure artist, but I still can't do something as simple as legally buy a book by an award winning Norwegian author ("Tonje Glimmerdal" by Maria Parr). Why is this so messed up?

Instead of saying "I'm available to hire", say "my worksona is adoptable"

A small announcement from me that I am now officially able to spend a lot more of my time working on Linux kernel maintainer support duties. It's not a "change of hats," but I will be able to spend a lot more time wearing my maintainer support hat on this year!

New year resolution: I will try to swear less. For example, instead of "holy crap" I will say "deifecation."

“Failure to comply with lawful orders could mean that Apple would no longer be able to operate an App Store or distribute content in the country,” representative said to Reporters without Borders.

"Lawful orders" here refers to the orders of censorship department. Very similar, I assume to "lawful orders" that send missiles to destroy homes in .

In other (not really) news, Big Tech will do anything for money. Disgusting.

Never have I felt so vindicated, or so shitty about being vindicated, as I do whenever I recall being loudly booed at an SF convention ten years ago for saying “Elon Musk is not Tony Stark, he’s not your friend, & he’s not out to save anyone or anything.”

I should start paying attention to Canada/Québec politics again. I've been hyperfocused on Russia's aggression against Ukraine, but there are some significant changes in the political landscape happening in Canada, too. I'm wholly on the side of Ms. Freeland, and I totally see how a person who has long fought against oligarchy (see her book "Plutocrats") would be ill-fitting in Trudeau's government that is trying to play footsies with the incoming king of oligarchs South of the border.

I know, I'll use the US flag for English, and the France flag for French. At least this way I'll equally piss off anglophone and francophone québecois.

(This is wix.com, by the way, who even in 2024 can't conceive that a single country can use multiple languages.)

Ugh, I'm not doing this again. It's one thing to gamify things, and totally another to add stress and anxiety to your language learning.

Not quite the murderous piece of absolute sh*t dictator I was hoping for, but hopefully 2024 has a few good surprises left in it yet.

Honestly, we are currently out of ideas on how to restore access to Codeberg.org.

We are fighting with extreme traffic and high load for several hours now, we have done the typical procedure to identify and block misbehaving AI crawlers.

However, we are currently having a hard time figuring out details about the ongoing high traffic situation.
