Funkwhale has/had support for federation. I wonder how that would work and exactly what is federated.

Too late for me to look up the answers so I'm hoping someone else can do my homework while I'm sleeping.

Gabe Newell thinks AI tools will result in a 'funny situation' where people who don't know how to program become 'more effective developers of value' than those who've been at it for a decade

Talk about cherry picking in order to create a clickbait headline:

That's the question put to Newell by Saliev: should younger folk looking at this field be learning the technical side, or focusing purely on the best way to use the tools?
"I think it's both," says Newell. "I think the more you understand what underlies these current tools the more effective you are at taking advantage of them, but I think we'll be in this funny situation where people who don't know how to program who use AI to scaffold their programming abilities will become more effective developers of value than people who've been programming, y'know, for a decade."
Newell goes on to emphasise that this isn't either/or, and any user should be able to get something helpful from AI. It's just that, if you really want to get the best out of this technology, you'll need some understanding of what underlies them.

They can get pretty big so I think one would be enough to cause an injury. I assume this is the same for pelicans all over the world.

Plasma on AerynOS is finally here!

From the AerynOS About page:

AerynOS is a modern Linux distribution using atomic updates, cutting-edge tooling and rock-solid reliability. Built by industry veterans with decades of experience, it represents the next evolution in Linux distributions - delivering a safe and efficient system.
Our fully atomic system leverages the LLVM toolchain and libc++ by default, delivering superior diagnostics and package diversity. We’re not afraid to challenge convention - thoughtfully replacing traditional components with modern alternatives that prioritize safety and reliability.
We closely follow the work of organizations dedicated to making software safer, including the Prossimo project and their Memory Safety initiative, the Tweede Golf team, and the Trifecta Tech Foundation. By monitoring and adopting innovations from these pioneers, we can integrate proven solutions like memory-safe replacements for critical system components.
As we continuously evaluate and adopt the best solutions, our architectural decisions enable powerful features like atomic updates that can safely transform your entire system, complete with built-in deduplication and instant rollbacks.
This is the future of Linux distribution design, built on a foundation of experience and innovation.
