X.com v/s X.org #Linux

This is scary. It's (strong) SafetyNet for websites.

Every now and then I run into another Android app I can no longer run because someone decided my phone, running an official build of my choice of OS, that isn't even rooted, is "not trustable".

Now they want to start doing that for websites.

This kills open Linux on the desktop (including Asahi Linux). It kills alternative browsers. It is a backdoor to kill ad blockers.

No. Just no. Please.

This week, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals made clear that linking does not constitute infringement, and kept in place an important test to determine under what circumstances entities can be held liable for displaying copyrighted content online. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/07/victory-embedded-links-photos-instagram-dont-infringe-photographers-copyrights

New #Linux and #OpenSource News video!

In this one, we have the Cyber Resiliency Act, a new EU set of regulations that might seriously harm Open Source software, we have repairable laptops from #Framework and (in the future) from #Lenovo, and we have some big performance improvements for #Intel GPUs on Linux:

Na, die Frauen haben, im Gegensatz zu den Männern in Katar letzten Jahres halt wirklich 🥚🥚

Nurses went on strike.

Then graduate students.

Then school teachers.

Now it’s hotel employees, writers, and actors.

UPS drivers and auto workers may be next.

Many strikes, similar story:

Workers are sick and tired of billionaires and corporations hoarding wealth and power.

I want working mass transit.

Still can’t get over the fact that an editor of the Financial Times said that we need to do away with #capitalism in order to deal with the #climate. If that’s no a sign of mainstream economics/finance finally waking up to the reality of the situation we’re in, I don’t now what is.

Found time to work on this again: a new conversation view using one webview. Current code uses a webview per message.

Geary 44 has just been released, I hope to finish this for Geary 45.

This is REALLY important.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment and counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Let that sink in. It costs less than accepting homelessness.

Love their "Corporate greed life cycle" image. We've all been through this cycle with tech companies that used to offer really cool products.

we now have flatpak builds (CI) for both x86 & ARM!!

We're trying to get as many core apps as possible updated to the new Libadwaita widgets for 45 (ToolbarView, NavigationView, SplitView)!

This is the initiative issue, help on any of the missing apps would be appreciated: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/Initiatives/-/issues/41

13.000 cyclists demonstrated against #Berlin new conservative senator’s decision to stop (and potentially scrap) ongoing infrastructure changes that would have improved the safety of cyclists and pedestrians and contributed to reaching environmental targets.

13.000 people.
7km of streets continuously filled with cyclists.
And you barely hear about it in the news.

13.000 is a big number.
Imagine 13.000 SUVs with a flat tire: would we hear more about it in the news?

Ever notice how forgiving loans is suddenly a big problem when students get much-needed relief, but nobody blinks an eye when the richest 20% of American households get their PPP loans forgiven? Or when corporations are handed billions in subsidies?
