You have a right to that opinion but Gnome 4(0) was released a year and a half ago, and we’re on 49 now. Also, I think it’s beautiful and elegant.

Same. I’ve used Gnome, KDE and XFCE (and OS X and Windows) and Gnome is my clear favourite. Claiming that their decisions don’t make sense is clearly false if it works so well for so many.

Sincerely, great work there! Let’s all become leftists that do something.

I am also concerned of AI-slop, so thanks for sharing. However, I do not think the headline here does justice to the article. There is a more interesting message in there. First of all, the study concerned new content, not all of the internet. Second, and more important, the researchers seemed to have found some kind of a saturation point for AI slop, where it’s share of new content was not rising anymore. I think it would be crucial to understand the mechanisms behind this current limitation of AI slop, and whether they could be utilized to combat AI slop in the future.

Added another wordpress instance to our server (all docker-compose). The craziest thing happened where the second site was kind of working but broken in very strange ways. Well, turns out that for the second site Caddy was pointed to the files of the first instance while passing php_fastcgi to the new one 🤯 😵‍💫 What’s more, having different relative paths for the Caddy container and the wordpress container was not as simple as I thought it was. The devil (the hours of debugging) is always in the details. Managed to solve it in the end!

Joplin is an awesome FOSS note app and alternative to Obsidian. Love it, I use WebDAV to link between devices. Lots of plugins for extra functionality as well.

Just adopted Joplin (FOSS all the way) for notes on desktop and mobile, using my own Seafile instance as the cloud service through webdav. Very happy with it so far, be it short and quick or long and complex notes.

Also using Zotero for bibliography management and related notes, also backing up to Seafile webdav. Joplin and Zotero also play together, but haven’t tried that out yet.

While a tempting logic, in my understanding of the dairy market this is not correct. To my knowledge, here in Finland the big retail chains initiate auctions for the milk contracts, which are highly competed. If a producer tries to raise the price, they will likely not sell any milk at all. On top of that, milk is an important loss leader for the retail chains. The price is kept as low as possible, and it might even be sold at a loss, to tempt customers who will then compensate for this loss with the rest of their shopping basket. Against this, it would be very incorrect to assume that nobody bats an eye if the price of milk increases ten cents.

For anyone wondering whether to click: yes, the article is very critical of this and gives a lot of space to experts who think that this is an absolutely terrible idea. I think the value here is in knowing what the oil industry tries to do and how they try to lie to justify their crimes.
