@Techaltar@mas.to A dream would be for Fairphone achieving the list of requisites set by GrapheneOS, I think @kuketzblog@social.tchncs.de mentioned what it would take: https://www.kuketz-blog.de/grapheneos-der-goldstandard-unter-den-android-roms-custom-roms-teil7/

Discourse and the Fediverse!
The Fediverse offers ways to expand the reach of Discourse communities and help them build bridges with people active in other spaces, all while keeping the conversation civil, meaningful and focused.

One of the most common requests related to the Fediverse is an alternative to Facebook Groups.
There are now two major forum platforms which are Fediverse compatible:
➡️ NodeBB, follow them at nodebb@fosstodon.org and find out more at https://nodebb.org
➡️ Discourse, follow them at Discourse@mastodon.social and find out more at https://discourse.org
You can interact with both of them from Mastodon etc. They're not exactly like FB Groups, but are definitely worth trying to see if they fit your needs.

So big surprise, I actually uploaded a couple videos on cyber security! In the first one I use hyprland as an example of bad practice code and why a security audit would catch things not being merged by upstream
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3NCiHybX23Q
But then the maintainer of the project talked to me over discord where we went over the different problems and he confirmed my suspicions about the security culture problem over at hyprland
(Sorry for mono audio I had to reinstall obs)

1 month later: Spam is still an issue on matrix.org.
I am one tap away from opening CSAM and gore in public. I can't even disable picture embeds on element@mastodon.matrix.org for Android. Worse, it's a rather large notification, making it too easy to accidentally tap!
matrix@mastodon.matrix.org said they were planning some mod tools, but there doesn't seem to be any temporary fix at the moment.

»Linux “just works”—if you can see.
If you’re blind?
You boot into a live image and get nothing.
No speech. No braille. No login prompt feedback. Maybe Orca starts, maybe not.
Maybe you know the shortcut (Alt+Super+S?) but does that even work in this session type?
Is it Wayland? Is it X11? Is the screen reader bound to a key combo that doesn’t exist on your keyboard?
You open the installer?
“Next. Button. Button. Button. Button.” That’s all Orca says.
Ubuntu MATE 12.04 had a working, labeled, navigable installer.
Ubuntu MATE 24.04? It’s garbage.
No headings. No structure. No sense of where you are. Just unlabeled buttons and blank space.
This isn’t a bug.
This is neglect.«

🚨BREAKING: #Fortnite is coming to US App Store any day now!
US judge said #Apple “outright lied” to steal from app developers & increase prices for users - all to uphold its greedy #monopoly.
But the days for FEES on web transactions are finally gone.
Fortnite was submitted to the US App Store yesterday - so it now lies with Apple to publish it quickly: https://x.com/TutaPrivacy/status/1921269111373652385

We have a CI job to spot unwanted utf8 letters in #curl PRs as we have noticed that GitHub will gladly show the for example (identical) Cyrillic version of a letter next to the Latin version in a diff and it is yes, entirely impossible for a human to spot the diff. I mean the diff is shown, but the significance of it is not.
Changing just a single letter like that in a URL hostname opens up for a world of grief.

Switzerland plans to ban anonymity and data retention by decree
A draft ordinance in Switzerland stipulates that users of all major platforms must provide a copy of their ID or driver's license or a telephone number.
