I donated 20$ to gitea on GitHub today. It's not much, but since I use @codeberg which runs on @gitea I felt like I had picked out a nice target for this year's Christmas donation.

If you have a few dollars to spare #donate it to something you believe in. Every piece of donation helps towards a bigger goal.

Merry (albeit a somewhat belated) Christmas everyone.

People often wonder why printers are so cantankerous but frankly any device that embeds pigmented runes in the remains of long-dead trees is going to be stricken by an ancient faerie curse from the start

Weapons-grade dumb.

Someone just came into the Pinephone chatroom to share a "snake game"... claiming it was their first attempt at making a game.

Problem was, this was *malware*. Created using bashfuscator. 😈

I had to instruct an old person how to use an Android phone and it went a little like this:

"When the screen goes dark, you need to turn it back on by pressing this unmarked button on the right. Then, when the screen lights up with the clock, a background picture, and no other indication of what you should do, you need to place your finger on the screen and swipe upwards."

When did we decide that this was a good idea?? I might as well teach them how to use Vim at this point.

iFixit scored our #Fairphone 4 a perfect 10/10 for repairability. 🙌 This follows in the footsteps of our Fairphone 2 and 3 as the only smartphones worldwide to receive this score. @[email protected] from @[email protected] explains why: https://bit.ly/3xRf4FH

Christmas is coming so with it I post my favorite meme for the occasion.

Western Digital drives seem to require Windows to update firmware. Even though they could provide transparent updates via https://fwupd.org/

I've learned some of mine have dangerous firmware bugs.

I've posted on WD forums and filed a support ticket for this.

Maybe if enough people are a PITA about this to them, they'll finally do something about it.
