Progress on securing our distribution against supply chain attacks: The Debian testing/trixie release on amd64 is now reproducible for over 95%, and counting. You can use the new debian-repro-status package to query the reproducibility status of your installed Debian packages. See https://reproduce.debian.net/ #debian #reproducible-builds

This goes without saying: If you have some money to spare, I would genuinely appreciate it. I am not getting paid a single dollar from the work I'm doing (I wish I did).

At the time of writing this post, the merge request for making the month view accessible is sitting at around 500 lines diff, but that diff will only get bigger and bigger. A good portion of that time is also spent with my eyes closed with a screen reader. It takes a lot of time and energy to understand how everything connects in GNOME Calendar and researching about accessibility in a calendar app.

On the way to the #KDE Plasma (Mobile) Sprint in Graz, and putting the final touches on the @openrailwaymap support in Itinerary's live view.

to me, it seems like it would have been news that Google stopped 30 million #ads for "misinformation" in 2023 but zero in 2024 https://blog.zgp.org/google-ads-shitshow-report-2024/ (I guess misinformation has friends in high places now, and there was enough other Google news last week)

Reposting this video here from community member Hrdl.

This video demos the improved display controller driver which means goodbye artifacting and welcome to automatic redrawing on a per pixel basis. As seen in the video, the display runs at a higher (and stable) 84Hz refresh rate than the stock 80Hz thanks to some tuning.

You can find the work Hrdl has been doing here: https://git.sr.ht/~hrdl/linux
