"We couldn't help but notice that many GNU/Linux sites had become inactive or barely active in recent months (in line with what happens to online news in general)."IRC is still active, as usual, but there's nothing urgent to report here in the blog (that cannot simply be added to Daily Links). IRC was getting hectic (plenty of abuse) each time Microsoft had a big wave of layoffs which it wanted to distract from.
Here in Europe things aren't well, set aside energy prices and war. The European Union is about to suffer profoundly by direct association with EPO corruption and we'll certainly be covering that.
"For now, Gemini is a growing area of focus."We couldn't help but notice that many GNU/Linux sites had become inactive or barely active in recent months (in line with what happens to online news in general). That's still better than becoming spamfarms or Microsoft pushers like some of them became (even worse than these sites shutting down, going offline permanently). If any readers out there can suggest additional RSS feeds for us to track and curate, get in touch with us. For now, Gemini is a growing area of focus. There are new Gemini projects, new releases, and plenty of new material. We recently started posting Gemini links in isolation. There's enough of them for decent-sized bi-daily batches.
We never lack things to do; the only thing we lack is time.
At the same time we continue migrating old content to Alpine [1, 2]. It's well overdue and it's simpler now that I've left my job, aside from me spending a lot of time writing about it (currently my Member of Parliament is on the case, as the "official" channels seem unresponsive).
Migration of this site will be gradual and slow. We don't want to rock the boat ahead of our 17th anniversary (#1 priority at the moment is Tux Machines, which enters its 20th year very soon). ⬆
