#DMAWorkshop
Meta speaker is a lawyer who has just spent his full slot pouring cold water on any approach to messaging #interoperability on every imaginable ground and dismissing all the existing entities running client=side bridges (e.g. iMessage and Matrix).

When #GooglePlay introduced privacy labels, I was very curious to see how they managed to get reliable data about the #privacy properties of Android apps. I know first-hand how difficult and time-consuming privacy audits of Android apps can be. Now Mozilla has taken a closer look, and it seems Google doesn't even have reliable data.

Just uploaded 's wlc tool v1.13 to Debian to make it into bookworm. wlc is a handy CLI tool for managing translations in the terminal. This update enabled ! Thanks @weblate for all your work!

We're getting quite a few people who thought the project was dead for some reason... Remember that you should follow our blog (and this account) for updates.

We released the first open-source accelerated GPU drivers for Apple Silicon just two months ago:
asahilinux.org/2022/12/gpu-dri

That's the world's first open source driver for Apple GPUs, and also the world's first Linux GPU driver written in Rust, but for some reason it didn't get almost any media attention...

But then we sent out some device trees for Linux 6.2 and that did?

We don't get it...

About yearly, we seem to get another article saying "look! are the biggest contributors to ". These articles come across as PR pieces since they point to data saying who is the biggest contributing company without putting it into context. Like, does contribute 0.5%, 5% or 50% of all activity? Instead the talk about things like "the top leading corporate contributors", leaving out non-"leading" contributors, non-corporate contributors, etc. theregister.com/2023/02/24/who

@dx provides a practical plan for how to get to that point: around half of residents have a 1€/day "Jahreskarte" year ticket, so we already have the feeling of transit without tickets. This has been expanded to the -wide "Klimaticket", which is the same idea, but for all railways and public transit in the whole country. I think this approach is much more politically possible than trying to just flip systems to have no fares.

An internet toll will penalise consumers & breach #netneutrality. Today, Dutch Economic Affairs Minister Micky Adriaansens warned against the demands of Big Telco. She calls for a differentiated analysis of the problem first, before jumping at solutions. 🧵

@BrentToderian great example! My city, , seems dead set on continuing to destroy with road projects, but there is strong resistance. Another awesome example is 's Waterfront Park youtube.com/watch?v=l2_yNrP0hC

If your city couldn’t avoid making a massive city-damaging mistake in the first place, do the next best thing — remove the mistake, and repair your city. Like #Utrecht, Netherlands did with its central area river, then freeway, then river again.

"The idea that complex social problems are amenable to cheap technical solutions is the siren song of the software salesman"

Re the Online Safety Bill/regulatory proposals invoking harm to the vulnerable as a problem mass surveillance could solve.

client is configured with two repos: Maven Central and the Google one. Yet running `./gradlew buildEnvironment --scan` downloads `org.gradle:gradle-enterprise-gradle-plugin:3.10.2`, which is not available on those two repositories. It seems that is adding repositories automatically, that seems sketchy to me. I confirmed this by running `gradle --write-verification-metadata sha256 buildEnvironment --scan`

@SomaFMrusty@defcon.social Some artists still post albums to their own websites, I buy there when I can. Then there is always then buy merch directly from the band to send them cash.

@cryptax v3.4.1 has passed all the tests, in less than 10 days, it should be part of Debian/bookworm tracker.debian.org/pkg/droidly

FYI, I patched back in the support since androguard is part of and easy to support there. I work with massive collections of APKs, so I appreciate having androguard support there to parse those few APKs that the others cannot.

Wiki Unblocked is also built by using the process, independently confirming that the binary APK shipped on f-droid.org matched the source code.

Seeing the utopia that is promised just around the corner with AGI @clarkesworld closing submissions because of inundation by "AI" generated submissions. Feels like a DDOS attack.

World: Can the US please just use the metric system, instead of making up weird measurements no one else understands

US:

@debian nice, I was just looking at this format, since it makes it a lot easier to manage third party repositories. For example, it makes it easier to specify a signing key for that specific repository.

If you use Debian container images, please note that "debian:bookworm" images are already using deb822-style repository sources manpages.debian.org/bullseye/a
