Can't wait for everyone to experience the awesomeness that is the Librem 5! 😍

libhandy 1.0.0 released. 🎉

We released it a bit in advance to let application maintainers update their submodules in time for the GNOME 3.38.0 release. 😀 That being said, we expect distros to ship libhandy as any other regular stable library. 😉

#PlasmaBigscreen on your #postmarketOS device, soon this can be a reality! I have a #Pine64 A64LTS outputting it to my TV.

Still some work to do, like getting remote control working, but it's getting there. And yes, this is with #MyCroft integration!

Don't forget to submit your session to #LibrePlanet 2021 by October 28th! LibrePlanet is the FSF's annual gathering for free software activists, developers, and all those concerned about digital ethics. u.fsf.org/1y7

The extradition of Julian Assange is a malicious prosecution by any standard. Even critics of the man ought to condemn this as a show trial. The "crime" in question is the greatest public service @wikileaks ever performed: exposing Iraq-era abuses.

Drop the charges. #FreeAssange t.co/JhIrfro7cV

Read this and tell me that the show trial of Assange doesn't read like something from Kafka. The judge permits the charges to be changed so frequently the defense doesn't even know what they are, the most basic demands are denied, no one can hear what the defendant says—a farce. t.co/d7oYBLBvky

They literally re-arrested him on the day of his trial. For those keeping note: yes, they re-arrested a man already in prison. This entire process is less trial than Soviet joke. t.co/xHli8Hgv1f

Rant:

Internet Trolls; even if you don't feed them, they don't go away.

If I were to create an advertisement for #RSS, it would be like this:

"Do not let GAFAM curate the web for you. Curate it yourself. Use RSS feeds."

Feel free to steal this. 😉

Can we please, please – PLEASE! not make the nonsensical US date format month/day/year the default in applications? 🤦‍♂️

PRE 👏 TTY 👏 PLEASE

And to all users of that format: it makes no sense, it's counter-intuitive, it makes collaboration frustrating, it introduces inconsistencies and errors... Just stop. Please. Use international standards.
(And don't get me started on your other units of weights, volumes and distances. Bloody hell.)

Boost if I'm right.

Also just to clarify something, and I will talk more about it, once everything is set. (90% of things aren't at the moment) @yunohost works.

If you are techy enough to want to host your own server but don't QUITE want to deal with actual installs from source and dockers etc, even mastodon wasn't that hard to get off of the ground, all things considered. (and #mastodon probably is one of the trickier software to deploy) #FLOSS #selfhosting

Open source developers: please actually use your code hosting platform’s “releases” feature. It substantially raises the visibility of your releases, lets downstreams use better tooling, and makes it less of a guessing game when trying to find versions.

Today I learned five ways to make a footer in CSS:

1.
.footer { position: absolute; height: 60px; ...}
.body { margin-bottom: 60px; }

problem: not responsive.

2.
.footer { position: absolute; padding: 1.5em 0; ...}
body {}

problem: if body is too long, it hides under the footer

3.
.footer { position: static; padding: 1.5em 0; ...}
body {}

problem: if body is too short, there's empty space between the footer and the bottom of the browser window

and now for the correct ways:

4. mdn.github.io/css-examples/css

5. mdn.github.io/css-examples/css

Went with 5, because we already use flexbox elsewhere on the site, but don't use grid yet.
