All my #WebKit merge requests have been merged. Now #WebKitGTK 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 #Epiphany (#GNOME Web) with touch interfaces.
There are still some more things to fix in there, maybe someone in #mobilelinux #linuxmobile community would like to give it a try?
@erikdelareguera visst finns det en gammal sång om det?

@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
@helenaviking bjud dem på kaffe! Och musik 🎵
@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 hope i don't just come across as contrarian
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: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/40954 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.
