After the news that funding for the @NGI4eu initiative would be cut for the next phase of #HorizonEU, the @EU_Commission has expressed vague support for #FreeSoftware.

The EC needs to come up with dedicated budget for #FreeSoftware solutions:

Maintaining CI is like gardening angry, carnivorous plants that still may give you delicious fruit... if you keep them happy.

I (Peter) for one definitely trust @devrtz more than a company distracted by building a robot ;-)

Hi @agx, I recently bought a second hand EV (Nissan Leaf) and was intrigued by this application you wrote: https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/phosh-ev/

I decided to add Nissan API support to it and it was a very fun project 😊
I used pyO3 to call this python library meant for Home Assistant and it’s working! https://github.com/dan-r/HomeAssistant-NissanConnect

I just need to figure out how to handle choice between Kia and Nissan and I will open a MR.

I am proud to annouce that the Gstreamer GTK4 plugin is now available in #Debian. This will allow to directly offload the load of video decoding to hardward via dmabuf, thus greatly reducing CPU load.

Just learned at #FOSSY24 (thanks to @allison ) about the #OpenInfra policy for AI generated content: https://openinfra.dev/legal/ai-policy (v0.9.2 at the time of my writing). It's a very reasonable approach, rooted in the best-practices that mature FOSS projects have applied for a very long time for vetting code contributions.

@phosh @furilabs Indeed 😍 . Phosh is one thing what makes this so awesome.

I'm glad to annouce Loupe 46.2 and snapshot 46.3 are now available in unstable.
This was blocked by a massive update of crates I worked on the past two months. #Rust #Debian #GNOME

I had a peaceful calm talk today, usually I rush things up. A talk that I can finally place in peace to http://subinsb.com/talks (page under construction).

Shout out to @Anoop & @agx 👋

Since 2010, the Debian Snapshot service functions as a "wayback machine" that allows access to old packages based on dates and version numbers. However, this service has been in need for big maintenance for quite a while. Luckily, thanks to Glasklar Teknik AB and DSA in June 2024 the service has been migrated to new hardware and is now fully up and running again: enjoy https://snapshot.debian.org/ https://micronews.debian.org/2024/1722416374.html #debian

All set up for #FOSSY24!

Come talk to us about #postmarketOS, #linuxmobile, or #systemd!

#Gandi va à nouveau augmenter ses tarifs [1] pour les noms de domaine : pour un .be on passe de 24€/an à 38€/an ! Il y a un an on était à 15€/an seulement, c'est de l'escroquerie sans aucune honte à ce niveau-là.

Je pense qu'il est temps de passer chez https://lebureau.coop, un registrar sous forme de coopérative qui est en train de se lancer.

Earlier this cycle Teemu Ikonen added support for displaying track position / length and a progress indicator to #phosh's media player widget 🥳 :
