The A in AGPL stands for "{AWS,Alphabet,Apple} Kryptonite"
@libreoffice That is great to hear! Please brace for the political backlash and constant and continuous lobbying of proprietary software vendors.
That's what in the end brought down earlier attempts in e.g. Munich (#LiMux) or the German Federal Foreign Office.

#gmobile 0.1.0 is out. Besides adding support for a new device (Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite) it's also now a shared lib (as updating it in >5 projects became cumbersome):

@lwriemen I don't do timetracking 😃
…and here are my #FreeSoftware bits for March:

@linmob IIRC the root cause here is in phoc/wlroots and you see it on Droidian and PureOS because they use older versions.
Nice that it's fixed for everyone now 😄

@debacle @Liberapay The ones I know need Stripe or paypal for the receiving side which is a nightmare. https://steadyhq.com/ looks like a good option for the EU as they have proper billing so tax handling gets managable. They also offer SEPA for the sending side.

Heads up for distro maintainers:
gnome-session 46 dropped support for the `--systemd` option.
(https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-session/-/merge_requests/93)
So if you want to use #phosh with gnome-session >= 46 make sure to drop that option from `/usr/bin/phosh-session`. A point release fixing this is in preparation: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/merge_requests/1387 . Until then the safest thing is to stick with gnome-session << 46.

Although no Debian stable versions are known to be affected by CVE-2024-3094 the next point release for 12.6 has been postponed while we investigate the effects of this CVE on the Archive. https://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2024/msg00057.html https://micronews.debian.org/2024/1711844961.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #debian

Small thing that I have found missing in the current discussion around the xz debacle:
If a project that you have an interest in has already a problem with maintainer capacity, probably the worst solution is to just add a maintainer (and even worse doing it in a rush).
You don't need to arm-twist the overworked maintainer in sharing power, you can just start doing non-binding reviews, answering questions and offloading other work from the maintainer(s).
Instead of pasting you can give the URL on the command line, this might also give some more information about the error.
The gst plugins need to be part of the flatpak. So likely it misses a plugin for the video format. A bug at https://github.com/flathub/org.sigxcpu.Livi with the URL would be good.

Do you have an old #PinePhone lying in the cupboard?
Dev versions of #ModemManager now support #GPS without a SIM card. Consumers of the MM API need some changes for this, so I submitted pull requests to #Geoclue (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/geoclue/geoclue/-/merge_requests/173), gnss-share (https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/gnss-share/-/merge_requests/15), and my own simple #GNSS app Satellite (https://codeberg.org/tpikonen/satellite/releases) (all 3 in different languages).
Soon it will be possible to use SIMless mobile phones for things like navigation and fitness tracking.
While we try to find a suitable place for the clock in phosh's top bar when notches are present (since 0.29.0) we didn't take rounded corners into account as most of the time the left and right padding would be enough.
With more devices like the #fairphone5 and #xiaomi daisy showing up as being used with #phosh we need to care about that too:
@rmader @user8e8f87c I'm also using livi on TV, tablet and laptpop 😃

Obvious Firefox is the answer, but if you need a different engine at times, at least use a Debian-based Chromium...
From the latest upload to sid:
"disable/screen-ai-blob.patch: add patch to not register the ScreenAI component. Previously, if you opened a PDF and clicked "open in reader mode", it would download a binary blob to ~/.config/chromium/screen_ai/, and do OCR stuff (and who knows what else) in that opaque blob without warning you. We, uh, don't want that."
