All my merge requests have been merged. Now supports touch PointerEvent API, touch point coordinates are fractional, synthesized mouse events are unbroken and both WebKitGTK and WPE WebKit handle pointer capture and release according to the spec. This should considerably improve compatibility of ( Web) with touch interfaces.

There are still some more things to fix in there, maybe someone in community would like to give it a try?

@JoWa @Livija @SusWAndersson en av de största bedrifterna i mitt liv är att jag en gång byggde en växellåda av såna där kugghjul. Den hade tre växlar: snabbt fram (stort kugghjul + litet kugghjul), back (tre små), långsamt fram (litet + stort). Det var ca 40 år sedan men jag minns det som igår.

blev lite försenad hem från ICA, var tvungen att kolla att han kom över gatan ordentligt. Ibland kom det en vindpust så han flög iväg några meter

@cisene intressant, det där med att gubbsova låter som något för mig att pröva.

"Germany’s Sovereign Digital Stack Mandates ODF: a Landmark Validation of Open Document Standards."

"The Document Foundation (#TDF), the non-profit entity behind #LibreOffice, welcomes the inclusion of the Open Document Format (#ODF) as a mandated standard format in Germany’s Deutschland-Stack, the federal government’s sovereign digital infrastructure framework for all public administrations."

Florian Effenberger (@floeff), executive director of TDF: "You cannot claim digital sovereignty while allowing your documents to be locked in proprietary formats controlled by a single vendor."

@cas saying "as required by recent laws" indicates a mindset that "what we do here is to implement laws. States make laws, we implement them. That is what this software is about: compliance with laws."

And I think such a mindset goes against the idea of free software.

I appreciate your answer, and I'm sorry I only answered parts of it!

Anyway I think you kind of missed the point I was trying to make: I am not critical of the code change itself, what I am critical of is the way it was presented.

To clarify precisely what I mean, it's the first sentence in this PR: github.com/systemd/systemd/pul which says:

"Stores the user's birth date for age verification, as required by recent laws in California (AB-1043), Colorado (SB26-051), Brazil (Lei 15.211/2025), etc."

I don't like that framing of the code change.

It sounds like you are assuming that the law is always good, that the state (making laws) is always good. I think taking a look around the world today makes it pretty clear that this is not the case. The state can be really bad, laws can be really bad.

@pid_eins @cas I guess in some way it comes down to "who is the software for?"

A piece of libre software is for the users, it serves the user and does what the user wants (which may or may not be the same thing that lawmakers in some country want). It's not a tool for governments to enforce laws.

Of course, when there is a FOSS license users can always do what they want anyway. But saying that changes are because of laws risks giving the wrong impression.

Do you see what I mean?
