On November 9th, I'll be talking on PackagingCon about creating Flatpak packages without using flatpak-builder:

https://pretalx.com/packagingcon-2021/talk/ZWAPSZ/

The talks are just 20 minutes long, so it's focused on "how do I achieve something functional" rather than technical deep dive. See you there!

In urgent beging need of financial help!

I couldn't pay for my full rent this month and my landlord wants to throw me out because of it, I didn't have much money because of my medical sick leave and I'm really short on money, to eat and pay bills.

If anyone has anything to help, please! I'm begging!

my new #Librem14 laptop with Alpine Linux is faaaaast!

#Phosh 0.14.0 delivers a bunch of quality of life improvements, #MaemoLeste share a massive progress report, #Jolla present #Sailfish OS 4.3.0 and more!

I wrote this article because I believe that a true democratic society is slowly happening while the technology is slowly being owned by the people. This bright upcoming future has nothing to do with politics but from the people financing Free aka "Libre" licensed technologies.

I should have said "contributing to" instead of "financing". The developers, designers, manufacturers, translators and any other contributors to free technologies are part of this beautiful collaborative world

...and here's the same thing using #phosh. Needs more work and polishing but just to give an idea. It works pretty well with thumb only too but that's hard to record.

Looks like I'm now almost a cybercriminal according to Apple

Hello!

Merci!

@be Fanatical packaging systems (within reason) strongly assure well-behaved software.

Dependencies are managed. Configurations are preserved. Bugs are tracked and prioritised, including packaging bugs (which can be release-critical). Standards are imposed and enforced (notably for documentation).

Well-packaged software should, of course, be distrubutable by other packaging formats. That's a given. But to say that a packageing format or method can produce well-behaved packages is inverting causality and looking through the wrong end of the telescope.

Good packaging systems prevent and minimise suce effects. Bad software is exposed by virtue of the fact that it cannot comly with good packaging requirements.
