Posteo at €1/month is far more serious than the price suggests.
No personal details at signup, strong account controls, IMAP support, and an optional zero-access mailbox mode if you enable it.

I’ve tested it properly and written up a full review:

@dysfun @idnorton In my case, it is vi/vim and gnuplot (to generate graphs for talks and papers). Though there unfortunately is a decline in using the latter one as I have been switching away from #fortran :)

‪It is rather beautiful here in Oulu 🇫🇮, right now. Absolutely no filters needed at all 🤌
-20°C, wind chill -28°C.

This is one of our main cycling and walking routes (#8) and here we have a 5 km stretch with ZERO at-grade crossings with motor traffic. I repeat, it's physically impossible to meet any motor traffic here. So it is very peaceful, safe and comfortable to ride and walk completely uninterrupted. Just bliss.

@germanio I can second this. Though, better stop this promotion. It's still quiet there. #patagonia

@tvaughan May I ask, where?

GIMP stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program and GNU stands for GNU’s Not UNIX and UNIX stands for Uniplexed Information and Computing Service so the full proper name for GIMP is actually:

GNU’s Not Uniplexed Information and Computing Service Image Manipulation Program

Frank Zappa - 'One Shot Deal' (2008)

Fantastic collection of previous unreleased #FrankZappa live recordings 1972-1981, including a Petit Wazoo piece ('72). Other highlights: 'Australian Yellow Snow' ('73) and 'Occam's Razor' ('79). Overall a very good posthumous #Zappa album.

My grown children always tease me that porridge made with water is my favourite food because it's all they saw me eat. I hate porridge. I only ate it because it was 50p for a bag and I didn't want to let them know we were poor as shit. The 'proper food' was for them

@adventure_tense I feel your need ;) Let's keep it simple (I don't have Instagram nor Facebook; call me old). If you get there you'll be happy to have any decent beer. My choice would be an IPA or NEIPA, cannot recall much. I live on the other side of the Andes.

@adventure_tense Just in case you need some orientation: geo:-37.3756940,-70.2675370

Hope it works. Never posted osm coordinates. It is in Chos Malal. Extremely rural!

@adventure_tense Good move! I also enjoy adding useful information, such as bars offering craft beer, especially in rural locations, aka Patagonia. Believe it or not, almost every small village on the Argentinian side of the Andes has a pub with decent beer.

@Armavica Mathematics here, almost always alphabetically by last name, very few exceptions.

@hollma Ein wesentlicher Unterschied ist, daß ihn kaum jemand ignoriert.

How fast can a forest recover from wildfire?

Fires may disappear within weeks but their effects can persist in the soil for decades. Researchers were curious about how the recovery of the soil was affected by different ecosystems. It turns out that different systems recover differently – this will be important as forest fires become more frequent: https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/3240.html?id=8043

Google will now release Android source code only twice a year:

https://www.androidauthority.com/aosp-source-code-schedule-3630018/

https://source.android.com/docs/whatsnew/site-updates?year=2025

Effective in 2026, to align with our trunk stable development model and ensure platform stability for the ecosystem, we will publish source code to AOSP in Q2 and Q4

Unclear how this will impact 3rd party ROMs like Lineage OS and Graphene OS...

Just kidding! It's pretty clear how this will impact them in the long run. That's the whole goal of it.

The only good news:

Google [...] will keep publishing security patches each month on a dedicated security-only branch for relevant OS releases just as it does today.

It's really time to move away from megacorp-controlled OSes and embrace really open source alternatives, both for personal and institutional use. It's not just a matter of privacy and security, but, most importantly, national security and self-sovereignty, especially with the current geopolitical turmoil going on.

The ship is sinking.
