I'm running 11 operating systems across my laptops & computers:
- Debian-Testing Gnome (my default)
- Linux Mint Cinnamon (my go-to)
- Ubuntu Gnome
- Fedora Mate
- SuSE Slowroll KDE
- EndeavourOS/Arch XFce
- Pop_OS Cosmic
- ElementaryOS Pantheon
- Haiku
- MacOS
- DietPi (navidrome server)

I wanted *BSD in there too, but it doesn't play nice as a partition (it prefers its own SSD).

FOSS NEWS

Mastodon (official) mobile apps and mastodon.social, mastodon.online web UI will include easily dismissable donation banner:
news.itsfoss.com/mastodon-in-a
(Some people often get mad if a project asks for donation within its software UI, but I think volunteer devs also deserve to get some payment for their work, it's fair to include a donation notice, if it doesn't annoy users with its placement.)

Brave and AdGuard will block Microsoft Recall:

alternativeto.net/news/2025/7/

Bluesky introduces age verification (using payment cards, ID scans, or face scans) for accessing adult content and direct messaging, and content controls for UK users:
alternativeto.net/news/2025/7/
(Yeah we're heading into a dystopian future, where you can't use social media without giving up sensitive information... Or can't send messages because a small portion of predators also use that feature... It shouldn't be the responsibility of governments and social media platforms to protect children, it's the parents' task to protect their children. If governments would really care about protecting children, they would rather push campaigns targeted towards parents to raise awareness of the importance of paying attention what their child is doing online. But nah, this "protect children" thing is only pushed for emotional manipulation, so that the governments can cover their arse, while building surveillance infrastructure.)

Heck yeah, this thing will blow up! :awesome:

Introducing Operese (a Windows-to-Linux migration tool made by a nerd):

yewtu.be/watch?v=PMoXClh8emw
(or YT: youtube.com/watch?v=PMoXClh8emw)

The demo is very impressive! 👀

It apparently migrates your #Windows10 installation to #Linux #Kubuntu (❤️) with all your files ready to use. 🚀

Written in #Rust, but not yet #OpenSource (according to author will be Open Source in the near future).

@gabrielesvelto I still remember #FirefoxOS and I'm still mad at @Mozilla / @mozilla_support / #Mozilla for self-sabotaging because neither me nor @fuchsiii nor anyone else I knew who did #WebDev / #AppDev / #MobileDev could even buy a device.

  • The only device that I was aware of launched in the #EU was a #SimLock'd & #NetLock'd #prepaid phone in #Spain which wouldn't sell it to us since they demanded #KYC with a spanish residency address.

I mean it's cool that one could just use #Firefox as #Emulator but no #mobile #OperatingSystem will have any chance of market attraction if one cannot buy the bloody thing!

  • Same like #OpenMoko: I'd love to get a #Neo1973 but none of the phone and electronic stores had it (and back then I was under 16 so I couldn't just make an account at an online shop)…

McDonald's Successfully Uses Visual DOS 2024 for McHire Platform

McDonald's has been using Visual DOS 2024, w/ our next generation Secure LLM KEYGEN to generate memorable and secure passwords.

You can have this ability too. In Visual DOS 2024 Professional Standard or Tech Preview, you can use the KEYGEN command to generate your own secure passwords & certificates.

CodePilot has been added to Visual DOS 2024 Tech Preview!

You can use codepilot to create functions and code that you don't want to write yourself.

Additionally, a cryptographically secure KEYGEN command uses LLM to generate your private keys.

Also, many bugs were fixed by our engineers who volunteered to also work nights because "it's too hot outside."

And more
