Migrating #Dillo from GitHub to our self-hosted server. 
I wrote a post about the current situation with #GitHub and how we ended up self-hosting our own infrastructure to be robust against data loss. We now store all important data (including issues) in git repositories which are replicated accross #Codeberg and #Sourcehut.
@sebastian that mikelovesrobots also says this, which I think sums up the situation nicely:
> This whole thing is bullshit.
@Wuzzy great, thanks!

@eliasr To play the games, you need to install Luanti version 5.14.0. You can get Luanti at: https://www.luanti.org/en/downloads/
Then, in Luanti, click on "Content" then on "Browse Online Content". Now you can browse and install all available games here.
A list of all games made for the 2025 Luanti Game Jam can be found here: https://content.luanti.org/packages/?tag=jam_game_2025
@potatisapan @ulug jag tycker det är alldeles lysande att biblioteket gör den typen av saker. Det borde alla bibliotek göra! Hoppas det kommer mer sånt och på andra ställen också.

Why I 🧡 the web.
After the recent #Cloudflare outage someone built a DownDetector for DownDetector after DownDetector went down.
@meraord är den nya säsongen bra?
This is awesome: the public library in Uppsala, Sweden, has an upcoming workshop called "Give your computer new life - try Linux"
At Stadsbiblioteket (the city library) in Uppsala on Saturday 2025-12-06 at 11:00 - 15:00, together with Uppsala Linux User Group (ULUG)
> "GPT-5 reproduced Alon’s proof and passed it along to us without realizing its source"
This kind of highlights the core functionality of such systems: it's a plagiarism machine. It's truly "useful" if your goal is to throw away authorship information and present something as new, produced by you or your "intelligent" system. The obvious main usecase is fraud.
For anyone interested in honesty and facts, much better to use a search engine that could point to the source.

Got mapping and Linux mobile focused grant application out of the door.
Would be really cool if we get it approved, beyond the grant itself it would probably let us move plenty of workflows away from Android over time.
@airikr det var fint skrivet :-)
@GrapheneOS I'm not talking about /e/ -- what I would like to understand is why you promote Apple so much.
That surprises me, because GrapheneOS is to my understanding FOSS, so I thought you had an understanding of why that's important.
Why is it so important for you to portray Apple's iphone as "secure" and "private"?
I'm repeating myself here, but an iPhone user is completely owned by Apple. How can that be acceptable to you?
@Wuzzy how do I play the games?

Jag fick ett autosvar som sa såhär:
"Delivery has failed to these recipients in Microsoft Teams:
korr<korr@svt.se>"
"We couldn't deliver this message to Teams, because it was flagged by anti spam policies."
SVT använder alltså Microsoft Teams, och Microsoft har bestämt att mitt mejl inte ska komma fram.
🤦♂️ 🤦♀️ 🤦♂️
Skulle vilja säga till SVT att det är dumt att de använder Microsoft-skit eftersom det skadar SVTs oberoende. Men jag kan inte nå fram. 🤢

@samuel @airikr @konstellationen det är lite komiskt, om man tänker på möjligheten att de skulle göra någon seriös journalistik på ämnet.
"De kan ju inte ens stava till Mastodon", skulle någon kunna raljera. Men det är ju sant, de kan inte stava till det. Det är så långt bort från deras värld.

SVT har en mejladress för korr, se länken där det står "Hittat språk- eller faktafel i texten? Skriv och berätta."
Jag har nyss skickat ett mejl om felstavningen, kanske hjälper det om någon mer gör det också.

Nu rapporterar även SVT om forskningen om att socmed kan göras mindre splittrande. Mastodon och Bluesky nämns som alternativ
"För första gången har forskare lyckats visa att bara ordningen på flödet i våra sociala medier räcker för att öka den politiska splittringen i samhället. Men det finns en ljusglimt.
– Det är ingen naturlag att sociala medier måste splittra oss – och det finns alternativ, säger digitala experten Carl Heath på Rise."

This story should be covered waaaaayy more than it is.
The US has sanctioned six judges if the international criminal court ICC, because Trump didn’t like them issuing arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and former Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant.
@GrapheneOS it's interesting to see in this discussion how wildly different meanings different people assign to the words "security" and "privacy".
When you say that an iPhone is good for security and privacy, that sounds completely crazy to me. Let me explain why.
An iPhone user is completely owned by Apple. An iPhone user therefore has no privacy, and also no security. An iPhone user does not even attempt to achieve privacy or security.
Do you see what I mean?
