#Wayland #inputmethod team GO!

I assembled a team to continue work I started for #mobilelinux with #phosh , #squeekboard and #librem5 .

We're going to finish the mobile side of screen-based input, and also try to properly bring traditional input methods (like for Chinese) to Wayland.

Thanks @nlnet for providing the motivation.

At a kids' football cup recently I heard players mentioning the "brexit tackle", and "doing a brexit", while they were talking about one of the games they just played. As I understand it, by "doing a brexit" in this context they mean to throw yourself wildly against an opponent with complete disregard for the safety of both yourself and the opponent, also not caring about the ball or winning the game. I find it hopeful that the kids already have such deep understanding of European politics. 😁

Sveriges radio pushar för sin app ännu hårdare genom att lägga vissa avsnitt endast på sin app. Varför gör public service på det här viset? Jag borde kunna ta del av skattefinansierad media på det sätt som jag väljer, och om mitt val är via öppna protokoll och FOSS applikationer, så borde inte jag bli motarbetad. Tråkig utveckling!

Anonymity is important.

This is a piece of news from Swedish public service radio today, about an org. protecting children's rights, it's called BRIS meaning "the rights of children in society". BRIS have received an increasing number of phone calls from children talking about crime, like kids being pressured by criminal gangs and such. They say that phone call anonymity is important for kids to dare to make the call.

I made @Mojeek my default search engine. It is refreshing to get results from other sites than the %&*# twenty sites which pay #google and #bing to always show up in the results

Do you use #Debian on your mobile (Purism Librem 5, PinePhone, Volla phone or an old android model like One Plus 3 etc)?

Or would you like to switch from #andoid / #ios to an OS that is developed in a more decentralized /community driven and caring for our privacy and freedoms ? Much like how GNU/Linux on laptops/servers/PCs.

There are efforts like #Mobian and #Droidian but we need to raise some funds so we can implement some missing crucial features.

While memory is still fresh I summed up my gist from helping to organize/run this years devroom at : (honk.sigxcpu.org/con/A_short_l) in the hope that we can do another one next year (and there'd be people interested to participate again).

Vilka tycker ni är Mastodons tre största fördelar om man som myndighet (eller liknande) skulle skippa X:

Jag tänker tex:
- Egen server som ger kontroll
- Inte beroende av ett privat företag/ägare som du är i händerna på.
- Inga algoritmer som styr innehållet efter någon annans idé.

Och vilka är de tre största nackdelarna?

Boosta gärna.

I mostly post about #astronomy #space #photography and #astrophotography

Welcome!

Where are some good places to buy OpenPGP cards? Is there some shop in Sweden that sells them?

This seems like a fitting illustration of how many companies nowadays attempt to force-feed people various "AI" products. There should have been an "AI" label on the machine, you'll have to imagine that. 🙂

From Charlie Chaplin's "Modern Times" film, 1936.
