  • Nuances?! on MY Fediverse?! tbh im also mostly with Linus and also do not expect his PRs to drop in quality, because of it. He does sometimes say weird things regarding AI though, like that its a great way for upcoming developers to learn and I do not think that is really true, but again: Nuances. I myself keep AI usage minimum and in the constraints of a chat bot, not because its not useful but because I dont wanna get stupid :(




  • Thank you so much for being interested in the wooden surface! It is a table, though it could also very well be a coffee table because I the original wooden panel was to long for the dining table i bought it for so I sawed the rest off and made a coffee table by upgrading an old IKEA LACK table I had laying around. However this picture is taken on the dining table . As for the ring I sadly do not remember the exact point in time it happened but I strongly suspect that it was coffee inside of mug which I regularly drink, in the morning, on that table. Regarding the used wood I am afraid I must disappoint you once more as my knowledge on it lacking. I have bought it in a local DIY shop in Germany so the chances are pretty high it was harvested in that area, however I guess you cannot be too sure about that nowadays. And as it not one solid piece of wood rather glued together I unable to count the age prior to harvest. Sorry about that. Im feeling a bit ashamed I do not know as much about the wood I dine on everyday, but if you have any further questions im happy to help.





  • I’m searching myself as I found myself in the same situation. I do tend to just go straight to the source and follow feeds from various Foss projects they are also not spamming you with articles and normally only post if if it its noteworthy.

    I also am subscribed to AlternativeTo but they are also fairly slopified. You can probably filter it out if they tag the articles accordingly but didn’t look into that myself.















  • I read Utopia for Realists earlier this year. A big portion of it is about UBI and is a great read for anybody new to this topic. The thing that surprised me the most is that we were fairly close in the USA in having something similar, this was under Nixon. UBI seems to not really be that left of an idea as i assumed it was. If you are too poor you are effectively costing the country more money than it would cost to just help those to be able to work/spend money themselves.

    In my city there was a citizen initiative to have a test run last year, but sadly opposing parties ran a disinformation campaign against it. Saying we already have enough studies that show its not worth it. (Which is a flat out lie, but I guess you can interpret studies as you wish). Most people fell for it. I think for politicians its just too easy to have big enough portion of people uneducated and too busy with their 9-5 jobs so they do not realize how they are being taken advantage off.

    EDIT: I do think though that one form of UBI is the future as well, its just a matter of when. But I might also be too much of an optimist. Or maybe we could also just get rid of advertisement that would work as well. Splitting the real work thats then left to do.
