I finally did the remaining to part to import paired bluetooth keyboards/mouse/trackpads (at least the Apple ones) automatically for #asahilinux
This means they are useable on the first boot after installation without pairing. For dual boot systems they will connect automatically in macOS and linux without constant repairing manually exporting and importing link keys.

The Sun Stream Complex in western Maricopa County will soon generate enough power to supply over 200,000 homes, and the first phase has been transforming Arizona’s scalding sunlight into electricity for more than three years - but such projects may not be possible much longer.

The FBI’s response to Salt Typhoon is the same tired claim they’ve made for decades “where they say, ‘Encryption is OK, but we need to be able to access communications,’” EFF’s Andrew Crocker told @theintercept. “That is a circle that cannot be squared.” https://theintercept.com/2024/12/11/fbi-phone-encryption-salt-typhoon/

China successfully compromised for months the infrastructure used to do wiretaps on the AT&T and Verizon networks.

This is a huge "told you so" moment for the cryptographic community that has been saying that such infrastructure does present a huge risk to national security. China reportedly used this capability for intelligence collection, obviously without a warrant ...

The #Librem5 can run #egui :)

(It's an immediate mode #gui toolkit for #Rust .)

Here's a demo of an #opengl triangle.

This will be needed for a proof-of-concept #camera application using #libobscura (thank you @PrototypeFund for the funding!)

i have an intense obsession with a number of old computer games that could have been super awesome but weren't (for example: amazing graphics/environments/sound/world but botched or tiresome mechanics, unfinished/rushed release (stuff in screenshots is not in the game, items are useless...), bad writing etc).

Tails joining the Tor project seems like a sensible move that’s good for both projects. https://blog.torproject.org/tor-tails-join-forces/

Dear fellow Europeans, I am respectfully asking you to consider signing this European Citizen Initiative to institute a billionaire tax. It was invented by leading French economist Thomas Piketty; I read the whole thing, and it is technically excellent. Hit me if you have questions, but please sign it, it is important.

It needs 1 million signatures (currently 300K) and seven countries over their threshold (currently three: Denmark, France, Germany).

Inspired by Google's move to remove @organicmaps from the Playstore without warning, I finally decided to move my > 3,000 Google Maps saved places to Organic Maps. To facilitate doing this for others' benefit, I made a quick webpage to convert your Google Maps GeoJSON data to a KMZ that renders well in Organic Maps.
