Encase anybody is wondering, the 4166 #ban #days for #harassment in #minecraft #java is the following in #ascii ")B", which is an unhappy face. Likely overlooked by the #minecraft #community https://youtube.com/watch?v=x2Kp6E2AOys This equals approximately 12 years!
#india should be cutting ties with #russia if they want #help . #funding and to play a part in the #global #community https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/w.. By #buying #russian #oil they help #fund #russia against the #west . How do they expect the #west to react?
So apparently for years now #twitter has #opensource 'd the #factcheck 'ing of #twitter to anybody in the #community , i.e. having people #police themselves: https://twitter.github.io/birdwatch/# Sounds a lot like #communism where you #snitch your #neighbour for some small reward... I'm sure that won't result in a purity spiral of hell.
Very interesting #discussion about why a #pine 64 #developer #martijnbraam left the #community in a high position: https://blog.brixit.nl/why-i-left-pine64.. The #hackernews #comments are pretty interesting too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=324..
And here we have the #decline of #deepmind with the " #study " of #ai #ethics in the #lgbt #community https://www.deepmind.com/blog/advocating.. What will happen is the #engineers that built this excellent #research #company will be pushed out for #diversification and it will slowly fall apart. It's no wonder why #google have been slowly kicking back out their #ai #ethics people. #facebook will likely soon do the same and #elonmusk is doing the same at #twitter .
Apparently the #moon is going to see tonnes of new #lunar #rovers https://blog.jatan.space/p/lunar-rovers-.. I would love to see some #hacker #community #robots too! Bare in mind the recent #mars #rover #helicopter was based on #opensource #code ! I think a community #project could offer some *very* cool options!
Really useful #guide to #replacing the #display on a #pine #pinetab https://politictech.wordpress.com/2022/0.. This is the first #replacement of its kind within the #community I believe!
Very cool #results for the #pine #community #poll for the #pinephone https://www.pine64.org/2022/01/31/pineph.. They have 3k people willing to #respond , pretty impressive!
As #scottmanley points out, it looks as if the #space #community is not happy about a recent #test the #russian #military did to de- #orbit an old #spy #satellite #explosively https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvdQcDDU.. It's still not entirely clear if the #iss #space #station is going to be okay, and it's entirely possible that the #chinese #spacestation will be affected in the future as the #orbits of the #debris #decay - damn. This was pretty reckless!
#pine is apparently large enough now that is can put out #teaser #trailers for the #opensource #community https://fosstodon.org/@PINE64/1070667593.. Apparently we should expect some update on this within the next few days!
I think for this #article - #aardvark is being a little hysterical about #nz #covid cases: https://aardvark.co.nz/daily/2021/0920.s.. Checking the #data - the number of cases increased by literally a few people: https://www.worldometers.info/coronaviru.. This will likely be COVID spreading amongst people #quarantined in the same #household - not #community #spread ... #christmas is still on at this point, especially as #uv kills the #virus ...
@barray on Sun Sep 05 15:36:53 UTC 2021 said: &eThe #pinetab finally has #wifi once again! Thanks to some #pine #community members, my random WiFi #dongle is now supported in the #arch #linux #kernel I use: https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Pi.. This means that I can now use the #tablet as a #wireless device again! Looking forward to using this device in the local #library once the #lockdown becomes less strict!Currently trying to get the #pine #pinetab up and running with a #usb #wifi #dongle ... #ubuntu isn't playing ball so far. I get nothing but issues with this device, I don't know why. I will try with my custom version of #archlinux soon.
Looks like there is now some #community #covid spread in #nz #auckland https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/news/nation.. I suspect an #emergency #lockdown will follow soon. The problem is, they currently have *zero* idea how the hell it got here.
Currently reading #linmob 's #linbits https://linmob.net/linbits-57-weekly-lin.. The updates are looking pretty good in the #opensource #phone #community ! #kalendar looks pretty nice, it's the first time this program has gotten onto my #radar !
Some big names on this #openletter to #apple https://appleprivacyletter.com/ I propose there might be another #internalmemo later! I'm glad the #tech #community are taking a #freedom and #privacy issue so seriously, despite the outwards appearance of being for the best interests of everybody.
I always like to see the #backblaze #harddrive #stats on #failures https://www.backblaze.com/blog/backblaze.. This is a massive credit to the #computing #community - excellent work.
