We at the #FSF have a few favorite free programs that we use regularly, such as #UptimeKuma, #GIMP, and #Emacs. What are some of your favorites?
@fsf my favorite program I use regularly is Emacs. I know it's already listed, but there really is no better editor in my opinion.
I even use my own configuration, because the distros of Emacs, just aren't very good for my needs. And now, because I use Emacs with a personal config, I will never ever be able to switch to a different IDE or editor.
Want to collect some thoughts: What are some ways you would say life is better now compared to 25 years ago?
Replies and boosts appreciated <3
@jonah There's a long list of reasons humanity is better off today, and most of them are being systematically reversed by irresponsible, greedy, corrupt governments.
100 years ago, male lifespan was about 60 years in the US. In 2000, it was 75. Imagine what may happen in the future to lower it, looking at things like food inspection, vaccine challenges, and other legal changes.
Polish hospitals, financial and energy systems are targets of daily cyberattacks, Poland’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Radosław Sikorski said.
While the hybrid attacks against #NATO countries are constant, Sikorski said Europe would not adopt Russia’s methods and retaliate.

Well, at least try to access the FSB and get a look at what sort of компромат Putin has on Trump.
I can imagine Putin playing the pee tapes in the background whenever Trump calls.

@gnpar tl;dr they fucking lied, they're slop coding
@davidgerard @gnpar That’s what I just said. “No forced AI” in the function of the software, but not “No AI” used in the production of their software. They used it as a publicity stunt. That omission is the lie!

New Maps with data from October 25
Our latest maps with OpenStreetMap data from October 25 are now out. You can press “check for updates” in the app to see them and start downloading them.
Just in time for the 2026 State of the Map Latin America conference that is kicking off tomorrow in Mexico City. If you’re there: Say hi to our contributor Bastian, listen to his talk about CoMaps, and grab some stickers! 🇲🇽
If you had to choose between becoming a vampire or becoming a werewolf, what would you choose & why?
I'm just curious.

Reddit's r/opensource bans AI slop, and quite a few humans for good measure
Meanwhile on reddit.
Honestly kind of sounds like lemmy.world mods like Jordan Lund tho…
To get a project featured on the subreddit, developers now need to show it has been actively maintained for at least a year, has an established community, and has at least three contributors, give or take. Student projects such as note-taking apps and PDF viewers aren’t welcome either, and developers can no longer use the subreddit to find people willing to help maintain their software.
That creates a chicken-and-egg problem for independent developers, who apparently need an established community before they can use an open source forum to find one. Even projects with no AI involvement could fall foul of the rules. One Reddit user pointed out that their nine-year-old project, which has more than 300 GitHub stars and dozens of resolved issues, would no longer qualify because they’re its sole contributor.
The moderator also imposed a minimum Reddit account age of one year and requires significant prior contributions. Anyone who attempts to post and then contacts the moderators seeking an exception risks being permanently banned and muted.

One sure way to prove #AI is not alive? If it was, #billionaires wouldn’t be building housing for it…
Goddamn!
My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today.
Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man. Just last month, on Sept. 14, he turned 90, on the same day Brad and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary. I will always treasure that he and I shared that date.
Walter was more than Chekov. He was a writer, a teacher, a thoughtful man, and a loyal friend. To the fans who loved him for so many years, thank you. He loved you too.
Rest well, my dear friend. Keep navigating a steady course.
– George

My condolences. ❤️
A few years ago I read his book. While the Star Trek content was interesting, what I learned most from it is that being an actor is more of a struggle than those of us outside the industry realize. What also came through is Walter's uniquely understated sense of humor. It's certainly worth looking for at your public library or book store.
