I signed an open letter to the @EUCommission requesting continued funding of open source software innovation and maintenance via the @EC_NGI program.

Free and open source software is not free. Supporting it is vital to the EU economy and innovation competitiveness.

@nlnet@nlnet.net and @NGIZero funded the development of many social web apps years before they were needed and likely much underlying software in the devices you depend on every day.

@diabellus @SceNtriC Raczej problem z konkretnym człowiekiem. Nie mieszkam sam, pracujemy z domu od wielu lat, a raczej trudno mi sobie wyobrazić podobną sytuację. No, najwyżej z kotami bywa różnie 😼

also it's quite sad that CHIPS ( which is now enabled in Nightly by default ) gets none of the attention compared to PPAs... like, i get it, "Mozilla bad" gets way more reactions than "Mozilla good", but still .~.

Chances are that you might have heard about #Firefox "Privacy Preserving Attribution for Advertising". I've been working for Mozilla for 12 years and I've learned about it here on the fediverse, not only because I haven't been paying much attention, but because internal comms have been occupied with other stuff. So let's talk about something I feel Mozilla desperately needs: transparency. 🧵 1/11

@DreamGryphon @tasket @gabrielesvelto FWIW there were multiple unrelated versions of Firefox named Iceweasel (Debian's and GNU's).

@timonsku @whitequark Servo was never supposed to replace Gecko, it was mostly meant as a testbed for tech that could selectively migrate into Gecko once it proves itself within Servo (and that's what already happened with several components long time ago, most notably WebRender and Stylo but also plenty of smaller ones).

Igalia’s Georges Stavracas writes about profiling WebKitGTK (a Linux port of Apple’s WebKit) to see how GTK is doing after being switched from Cairo to Skia, and how he hooked into GTK’s existing tracing mechanisms to make that much easier for everyone. feaneron.com/2024/07/12/profil

Exciting news! Our first just went into the voting round. Check out the amazing 'symbiotic' themed games created by our community. These free software games showcase the power of open-source gaming. Play them now at itch.io/jam/free-software-puri

I just saw an early version of what @holypangolin has been cooking on her own lately and I'm in awe. It's not a new game, but if you played "Karambola" you're in for a real treat. And if you didn't... well, what are you waiting for?

@thephd Flathub builds everything for aarch64 (by default; apps can explicitly opt out).

stop referring to vulnerabilities stemming from software using publicly-available package repositories cataloguing what amounts to a vast effort of free labor as “supply chain attacks”

providing free labor does not make one a supplier — a “supply chain” implies some form of economics where EVERY OTHER MODEL of a supply chain involves money changing hands

these attacks are against a communal resource, not a supply chain

@___warhier I needed something to block SBU signals from passing to the other side. Breaking SBU out is useful too, so did that as well. I didn't really need SuperSpeed pairs to be connected, but did it anyway as a learning exercise.

This in fact breaks TB and DP as both of them use SBU (USB 3 does not), so I connected it back with jumper wires to test it out, out of pure curiosity to find out whether I got it right enough 😜

...but not impossible 😁 Being able to order a 6-layer PCB with capped vias for $2 is crazy. It even appears to work with Thunderbolt and DisplayPort, which is surprising, as I barely knew what I was doing 😂

@joe9nf You're replying to a post that's almost 2 months old.

@xethos @janvlug The issue I described in that talk has a (downstream) fix that has been deployed in PureOS in early 2023. Unless your system is misconfigured, this can't be the problem you're seeing today.

There's another problem with the modem we're seeing - cellular data connection sometimes gets "stale", with no incoming packets being received on the interface. It's a completely different and unrelated issue that doesn't have a fix yet, just a poor workaround (using old-school PPP for data)
