General PSA: don’t apply for a job at Canonical. Do NOT apply for a job at Canonical. Treat the blatantly artificially enormous number of job openings they post as the mirages of trickster fae. They are unhinged. Mark Shuttleworth is unhinged. They will drag you through the mud, disrespect you and your time, and definitely not give you a job. This article I saw today is like the thirteenth of its kind that I personally have seen https://dustri.org/b/my-experience-with-canonicals-interview-process.html

The administration's social media surveillance is fostering a climate of fear. International students now worry a single post or "like" could cost them their U.S. visa—chilling political debate and silencing dissent for non-citizens and citizens alike. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/04/trump-administrations-targeting-international-students-jeopardizes-free-speech-and

Gov't officials mustn't use Signal to evade public records rules. "If you decide to have your communications...in a way that is not trackable or retrievable in response to a FOIA request, what you are doing is circumventing the law," @evacide told @axios. https://www.axios.com/2025/04/22/signalgate-encryption-trump-administration-downloads

How damaging is #signalgate to the actual #signal messaging service? It says nothing about how secure the service actually is, and everything about how dumb the current US regime is. But I am guessing for the average consumer, this news might be interpreted wrong. What is the word on the street?

@eff @WIRED Fortunately, in Poland almost every ebook can be purchased in DRM-free form.

Recently I discovered tldr, which is basically like a community driven cli tool to help with many different commands and tools. It has been so helpful. Often I am looking for very simple things and I don't want to scroll through man pages. Now all I do is tldr command-name and I can quickly get the most important command information.

Really helpful for me when I forget commonly used things like which flags to use and stuff!

@robustjumprope Thank you for the kind words! As a maintainer of TLDR, I'm glad to hear it's been helpful for you. Your feedback means a lot!

Where is this train going? To Distroland? 🤔
