Today I learned about spiral ratchet #screwdrivers .

You push, screw turns.

The ones I've seen on sale in #Germany take some unusual bits.

Does anyone know where to get one accepting regular hex bits? (Germany)

It's really hard to confirm that the motivation was political, or that it had anything to do with software (any more than spamming Facebook) based on that post.

Granted, I originally thought the attack was only notifying everyone, but the post says there was something more.

Right now the only possible motivation is a second-hand description by codeberg themselves.

It makes me wonder: why did codeberg not explain what they think the rationale was?

Was it because the messages contained abuse?

If I wanted to hide the real reasons or techniques of my attack, would be enough to fill it with abuse and people would purge it before letting the public analyze it?

That sounds like an exploit against moderation.

Software has its politics, but I'm not seeing much of that in the spam attack.

Zero-knowledge subscription!

I'd pay for it. Maybe. We don't have zero-knowledge payments yet :(

And my own thought: if your #FOSS project's #chat is on #Discord , I will not join.

I already know it will get enshittified. I will not give them a phone number, I don't want to get tracked and my data sold as a price of contributing to FOSS.

So yeah, I've been mostly absent from the #bevy #community for that reason.

I hope that changes one day.

#proprietary #Enshittification #freesoftware

Are you using #github for #FOSS ?

Small request: could you use FOSS instead?

Don't make #Microsoft your gatekeeper, use like #forgejo #codeberg or something.

#fosdem2025

#FOSDEM is over.

How many of you have seen Bad Apple running on an e-paper screen, smoothly?

Because I have, at a private presentation in one of the sitting areas, and, friends, it blew my socks off.

Let me tell you, it's funny to see something cast a shadow on a computer screen.

Apparently the driver is running a custom FPGA and plenty of it is open source.

Good luck nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqx23xgphadfafy572v3x8gdr7w5zt7qez3wkul0jest4lmel3stwqmqtp4t . I want to get one now. https://www.modos.tech/blog
