Gnome 48 also brings so many improvements to Gnome Mobile.
Scrolling is just as smooth as it's on Android.
OSK and Touch text selection are better now.
And the cameras have started working on #Oneplus6
Overall, it's getting to where it is starting to feel like a real alternative 🤩️.

The European Union is ordering Apple to open up some of its core technologies to make it easier for competitors to develop phones, headsets, and other accessories that are more interoperable with iPhones and iPads. #EuropeanUnion #Antitrust #DMA #Apple https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_25_816

welp thats two for two.

hopefully we can have #sailfishos with VoLTE on release too very soon

Debian Linux announce they will no longer post on X

“X evolved into a place where people we care about don't feel safe.”

It feels quite uncomfortable that cloudflare is somewhat openly admitting to analysing login credentials that are going through the reverse proxy, and providing aggregated stats on it (without explicit consent of the user it appears?)

Based on Cloudflare's observed traffic between September - November 2024, 41% of successful logins across websites protected by Cloudflare involve compromised passwords.

Don't get me wrong the results are actually pretty interesting, but I just cannot think of a ethical way of doing this, and it feels kind of jarring that they just "did that"

“When there is legitimate concern about the vast amounts of information that people freely hand over to social media companies, app stores, devices & other services,” laws that require collecting MORE data don't make sense, EFF’s @aaronmackey told @CNN. https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/13/tech/app-store-age-verification-meta-tension/index.html

We’re teaming up with Qwant to build a European search index
https://blog.ecosia.org/eusp/

> Currently, we rely on a mix of both Google and Bing libraries to provide you with answers to your searches. Starting in 2025, our new index will be added into the database pool to serve results in both the French and German language. We are starting small and in the home countries of both Qwant and Ecosia respectively.

Good to hear.

I love Dash to Panel. I don't even customize it, I just clone the default GNOME panel so I can pretend to check the time on another display.

It's sad to hear that Charles Gagnon (charlesg99) isn't going to be working on it anymore after people whined and complained about a donation button. I have never once experienced a bug in Dash to Panel and it's a testament that Charles and the other contributors have kept up this quality for years.

The only way open source projects will get better is if they beg for money and make the effort worth the contributors' time. So put that donation button back in. This isn't a charity.

No method of age verification is both privacy-protective and entirely accurate. Introducing these laws is dangerous, and expanding them to things like skincare, dating apps, and diet pills has enormous unintended consequences for your personal data. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/03/first-porn-now-skin-cream-age-verification-bills-are-out-control

Update 13.0.8 https://furilabs.com/update-13-0-8/

@piggz with you porting to a few other halium based devices to sfos and with @furilabs just releasing multiboot support for the flx1, I was wondering if you would be interested in porting sfos to it. It would be nice to get other halium OS on the flx1 considering the furilab folks have the full source to the phone for better fixes.

For those curious here is the initial showcase and is currently on my device in QA testing.

Werner Von Braun standing next to the five F-1 engines of a Saturn V on display at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center

The Saturn V rocket was a type of rocket called a Heavy Lift Vehicle, meaning it was very powerful and could launch heavy payloads into orbit or beyond. It had three stages, each with its own engines and fuel tanks, that would separate from the rocket after burning out. The Saturn V was human-rated, meaning it was designed to carry humans safely. It was also powered by liquid fuel, which gave it more thrust and efficiency than solid fuel rockets.
It was 111 meters (363 feet) tall, about the height of a 36-story building, and 18 meters (60 feet) taller than the Statue of Liberty. It weighed 2.8 million kilograms (6.2 million pounds) when fully fueled for liftoff, the weight of about 400 elephants. It generated 34.5 million newtons (7.6 million pounds) of thrust at launch, creating more power than 85 Hoover Dams. It could launch about 118,000 kilograms (130 tons) into Earth orbit, or about 43,500 kilograms (50 tons) to the moon. That’s about as much weight as 10 or four school buses, respectively.

It had five F-1 engines in its first stage, which were the most powerful single-chamber liquid-fueled rocket engines ever developed. Each F-1 engine produced 1.5 million newtons (337,000 pounds) of thrust at sea level. The F-1 engines were so loud that they could be heard up to 64 kilometers (40 miles) away from the launch site.
The person photographed here is Werner von Braun. Werner von Braun was a German and American aerospace engineer and space architect who played a prominent role in the development of rocket technology and space exploration. He was also a member of the Nazi Party and the SS, which has raised ethical questions about his legacy.

He helped design and co-develop the V-2 rocket, the first artificial object to travel into space, for Nazi Germany during World War II. The V-2 was used as a weapon against Allied cities, killing thousands of civilians. He was secretly moved to the United States after the war, along with about 1,600 other German scientists, engineers, and technicians, as part of Operation Paperclip. He worked for the US Army on an intermediate-range ballistic missile program, and he developed the rockets that launched the first US satellite Explorer 1 in 1958. He became the director of the Marshall Space Flight Center and the chief architect of the Saturn V rocket, the most powerful rocket ever flown successfully. The Saturn V was used to launch astronauts to the moon as part of the Apollo program, and to launch Skylab, the first American space station.
