Heat Pumps: refrigerators that run both ways.

omg wait. Het Pumps: shoes that denote utter straight-ness.

He Pumps: description of masc person who doth lift.

H Pumps: uhhh, probably a biology or chemistry thing? Like H is Hydrogen, so just one proton (+1 positive charge, +1 atomic mass in the nucleus) with maybe a neutron or two (+0 charge, +1 atomic mass in the nucleus). So an H pump would probably just be a proton pump, like the opposite of what you give people for stomach ulcers? Cuz acid is more protons, giving a stronger overall positive charge.

E Pumps: come on, this is a free trans chick joke. Or maybe like e-girls, or both tbh. Are e-boys a thing? Are e-boys just fem bois in a more cyber punk aesthetic?

The Summit on State #AI Legislation was a rousing success—so grateful to the panelists, moderators, attendees, co-organizers, and staff who made it happen! Two days of great conversations with state legislators, civil society, industry, and the #opensource community. Deets ⬇️

The rise of Gimp 3

Big kudos to the #Gimp team!

I've just tested out the brand new version 3 and the most wanted feature, non-destructive-editig, just blew my mind!

I haven't realized that now, everything that is based on GEGL is editable, it is just amazing, this goes beyond what I expected as non-destructive-editing.

There are still plenty of room for improvements though , I hope in the future they will add a layer mask for each effect and the opacity channel to determine the amount of the intensity.

Nevertheless this result by itself it is just amazing and superior to other commercials solution even in its infantry!

This will boost my workflow cause now I can modify colors on my images without degrading the original ones and exporting the working file as jpeg-xl, this is already a pro level!

The @eff made a wonderful project called rayhunter. It detects modern cell site simulators (aka stingrays, fake cell towers).

But it doesn't work out of the box on Debian and when I offered a fix (commands to compile a version for Debian), they didn't like it, suggesting that everyone who uses Debian or Ubuntu 22.04 should set up a rust development environment & compile it themselves.

The beauty of #OpenSource is that I don't have to accept that answer. I'm forking it & adding a Debian release

I was trying to figure out what ingredients were in the filling of a cookie, and I thought it would be great if food was open source. Like if the whole recipe was freely available. So I did a quick search to see if anyone is making food products and sharing the detailed recipe. I didn't find examples of that yet, but did find the Open Food Network, github.com/openfoodfoundation/ . They make open source software for connecting food producers to buyers. Cool!

This is absurdly great, but I haven't read a single blog post or news article about it. A fully open source, offline-first alternative to Notion that's a collab between the French and German governments because they want to host documentation securely and on their own terms. THIS is what Europe should be doing. docs.numerique.gouv.fr/ #opensource

I like the idea of #Docs, an #OpenSource alternative to Google Docs developed by the French and German governments, compliant with #GDPR, and hosted outside the US.
docs.numerique.gouv.fr

But I'm having trouble finding reviews, perhaps because it's new or because it has such a generic name. Can anyone point to helpful reviews?

@Gargron Greetings! Thank you for creating and releasing Mastodon for everyone to build communities, make connections, and support a decentralized Internet. I’m really curious about the long-term vision for Mastodon. As the network grows, what are some of the things the development team is most excited about building or improving, while still staying true to the principles of decentralization and user control?

I was Today years old, when I finally dug deep enough into the systemd rat's nest, to learn that it creates a directory in /var/log/journal based on the Machine ID, located in /etc/machine-id. and, judging by the last time each directory on my system was touched, a new machine-id is generated each time you do a distro upgrade. and no effort is made to clean up the old logs.

edit: the plot thickens. I was Today years old when I also learned that machine-id should be static, ie it shouldn't change if you're doing a distro upgrade.

furthermore, crawling through my / partition, I discover that, while the kernal removal tool does indeed remove kernels... if you're using bleeding edge for hardware support, it leaves behind hwe-tools.

I've already got several other bug reports to give the Linux Mint team so it's time to get off my lazy tail and finally make a GitHub account.

Interesting:
Docs is the result of a joint effort lead by the French 🇫🇷🥖(DINUM) and German 🇩🇪🥨 governments (ZenDiS). We are always looking for new public partners (we are currently onboarding the Netherlands 🇳🇱🧀). Feel free to reach out if you are interested in using or contributing to docs.
