President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

I wonder whether Trump has updated his list of "shithole countries"? www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-u...

If Trump's Ukrainian peace plan is implemented, Ukraine will lose twice: First, it would be forced to cede all currently occupied territories to Putin. Then, it would have to give away $500 billion worth of rare earth minerals — this time to Trump. My heart goes out to the Ukrainians.

Moving Firefox profiles between Ubuntu versions is incredibly convenient. Just copy-paste the profiles from the old system to the new one (in ~/snap/firefox/common/.mozilla/firefox), adjust the profiles.ini and everything will work. Ensure that Firefox is on the same revision no. on both machines.

I love the idea of open earbuds, but they often interfere with my glasses' frames. Surely there's a way to design open earbuds that attach directly to glasses frame? OEMs, your challenge awaits! #audio #design #glassesproblems #tech

Are there still people out there falling for spam like this? 🤔 Thankfully, Google does an excellent job of identifying spam emails, so they end up in my spam folder before I even have to see them. Stay safe and vigilant online, everyone! ✌️

I’m experiencing an issue with Yahoo Mail on desktop where I get logged out every day. After that, I’m prompted with endless CAPTCHA images, followed by 2FA verification. Really frustrating. Has anyone else encountered the same problem? Any suggestions on how to resolve this? Thanks!

As many people are now looking for alternatives to their devices, Starlabs is a British company and offers Linux tablets, laptops and mini pcs: starlabs.systems

J.D. Vance embarrassed himself when he wrote: "The problem with Rory and people like him is that he has an IQ of 110 and thinks he has an IQ of 130." Rory Stewart passed the Mensa IQ test and has an IQ of 132. He's fluent in English, Arabic, Persian, and some Indonesian and Chinese.

I've seen some videos of the ongoing huge demonstrations in Serbia and Germany, but also of the past demonstrations in Georgia and Poland (last year). Are we expecting similar courage from the Americans?

Does anyone know why KDE neon requires the PC restart for update installation? I'm testing KDE at the moment and this thing is annoying, especially if the installation process takes long. I'm used to Ubuntu which installs the updates automatically without restarting.

It's nice to think that your friend, who you consider an ally, that you supported for decades and you even went to war with him when you disagreed in principle, is now threatening to put tariff on your goods and treats you worse than the adversaries, and is doing to you what adversaries aspired to.

@lineageos.org I just see that Jolla sells SailfishOS support for selected Sony Xperia devices for 24.90 €. I'd buy such a support if LineageOS provides one. I noticed on Reddit that more and more people are looking for phone (and social media) after recent geo-politics development.

The AI companies want to use the works of artists to train their AI. The companies will be rich and those artists will lose their livelihoods down the the road. How clever. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/j...

I'm amazed by the portability of Quickemu. I just copied VMs created on Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.10 on a new PC. Everything works without any modification, something I couldn't achieve with libvirt and Virtualbox. I can't recommend Quickemu enough. Thank you @wimpys.world

I hope DeepSeek doesn't censor itself live soon and say that the results of the 2020 election were stolen 🤣 www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

I was curious about the new DeepSeek AI so I gave it a try. It failed miserably in the first questioan I asked. DeepSeek thinks Mbappe is a Barcelona player and its current manager is Ronald Koeman. Oh gosh imagine somebody who didn't know just accept the answer DeepSeek spits out. #AI #DeepSeek

"More than half Gen Z think authoritarian leader better for UK than democracy" Does it mean they prefer to be beaten up rather than being told nicely to behave? How time has changed!

What could be his motives that he tries to fire 15 Inspectors General? www.youtube.com/watch?v=98WI...

Wow... I wonder why he wants to get rid of fraud detection? Is he or his people planning something fraudulent? www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8Dd...

"I had sleepless nights. Then I woke up and realised that ­‘taking back control’ was ­absolutely right. But it was us who had to do it – we had to take back control ­ourselves, because those people in Westminster hadn’t got a clue." www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I received a price drop alert from Lenovo. A huge saving of 0,1p 🤣

TIL using AI to write an email would use 10x more water to cool the super computer than writing the same email as we usually do. If you're concerned about water, energy and environment please remember this next time you want to write an email. Please use AI responsibly. Use it when necessary.

"He has released the leader of the Proud Boys - a paramilitary fascist organisation - with barely a murmur of dissent from the Republican party." This time around, is America simply trying to tune Trump out?

Wow... They have turned the meaning of patriotism into committing violence against your own country.
