AI's RAM hunger has a new victim.

OK #Linux community, listen up.
MS have done it again and people are looking for a way out.
DON'T TREAT NEWBIES LIKE SHIT.
DON'T ATTACK PEOPLE FOR ASKING QUESTIONS.
DON'T ATTACK PEOPLE FOR HAVING PROBLEMS.
DON'T TELL PEOPLE TO "GOOGLE IT" WHEN THEY COULDN'T POSSIBLY KNOW WHAT TO SEARCH FOR, OR HOW TO INTERPRET THE RESULTS THEY'D FIND.
DON'T BE A DICK.
Oh Microsoft, why are you like a toxic ex? 😒

If you have not downloaded @Vivaldi on your computer as yet, the latest release might give you some good reasons to give it a try!
We continue to believe that you are the one best to know how you want your browser, so we keep adding flexibility and features. Different ways to do the same thing as we all have different requirements. We keep #AI out of the picture as well. You can use any online AI service you want, but we do not include it in the browser.

Flatpaks don't work on Ubuntu 25.10! 😐
The Linux project continues.
Bonus learning: you'd think older machines would struggle, but I've seen no post-install h/w issues on my 13-year-old MacBook Pro: wifi, bluetooth, ethernet, screen, touchpad, keyboard, speakers...
I suspect age is a benefit to a point, the Linux community having had more time to solve things, subverting Apple's planned obsolescence and urge to sell more regardless of environmental impact.
Here's a pic to celebrate.

Are you in #tech and running your own #Fediverse instance? You might want to join an Activity Pub relay instance!
My relay at https://fedi-relay.gyptazy.com has currently 139 instances connected, mostly tech related sharing the same mindset and interests like #Linux, #BSD, #Ansible, #Proxmox, #Coding, and many more! You can easily join from your instance when using #Pleroma, #snac (#snac2), #Mastodon and its forks 🙂

Usually, I read mail using emacs+notmuch. To avoid leaving tons of messages on servers, I use the POP3 protocol: all correspondence is downloaded by a periodic task with the help of an application included in the standard package of every popular distribution — mpop. Its settings are quite simple: you can describe several mailboxes in the configuration and sort mail into folders, launching notmuch tag with regular expressions for preliminary message tagging after each session. The account password can be left in the config or stored in a keychain, from which it will be retrieved using the passwordeval directive. As a result, I can process mail completely asynchronously offline.
Today, I discovered a real gift for myself: among Rust crates, there is one very suitable for my refined mail handling algorithm — mop3. This is a server responding to mail client (MUA) requests via the POP3 protocol and converting them into API queries to a Mastodon instance. Thus, I can receive posts from all authors I follow as email messages. It’s much cooler than using Emacs modules for Mastodon or TUI tools like toot, tut, etc.

Windows 10 refugees flock to Linux in what devs call their "biggest launch ever"
Instalar Linux é coisa fácil. Em 20 minutos tá feito.
Difícil é fazer backup dos arquivos de outras pessoas, lembrar de não esquecer nenhum programa, falar para a pessoa que o pendrive de 2Gb não serve para fazer backup de 50Gb, fazer cara de não-vi diante de arquivos íntimos, informar quando um programa não vai mais rodar no Linux, ajudar a pessoa a escolher novo serviço pois o antigo não tem cliente para Linux, reimportar os dados nos novos programas, dar assistência por dias a fio até que as pessoas se acostumem a fazer coisas como antes, testar as 3 impressoras que a família tem, fazer todos os aparelhos android e iphone da casa sincronizar com o computador para salvar as fotos, etc.
Eu adoraria instalar Linux para todo mundo🐧, o faço gratuitamente e de bom grado 💝, mas a parte do backup é insuportável, e eu sei que, às vezes, se eu não fizer, a pessoa não vai saber fazer, se tentar vai fazer errado e se pedir para o sobrinho vai ser pior ainda. Agora entendo porque as associações que estão ajudando as pessoas a substituir o Windows pelo Linux estão pedindo para as pessoas chegarem com o backup já feito. Mas isso não resolve o problema das pessoas que não vão saber reimportar os dados e configurações depois.

FLOSS #MaintainerLife public service advisory:
If you're filing a potential bug upstream in #GNOME, particularly on rapidly-improving apps like GNOME Calendar, please test the latest version, unmodified by third-parties. #Flatpak helps.
Don't come at me with a 4-years-old version cowboy-patched against our will by #Linux distros like Mint; I will send you downstream, like this: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/issues/1526#note_2640160
