We just released the last stable version: GIMP 2.10.38. It features very cool improvement for graphics tablet 🖵🖌 support on Windows! 🥳

@arunmani recently added folder support to #phosh 🚀 . Here's a short demo:

Just want to quickly share with #linuxmobile folks that the new #libcamera softwareISP does indeed work with the #librem5 - and with a #PipeWire + #GStreamer pipeline. Here's a first image with Warp (from Flathub) running.

There's still some stuff to iron out to make this work reliably and ship to users - but things are falling into place.

heads up: GNOME Software and Plasma Discover broke with an upgrade of libapk in postmarketOS, unfortunately both in edge and in stable. We are working on fixes. In the meantime, make use of your linux phone's terminal or SSH and just run the package manager via command-line.

Google went from “don’t be evil” to “help commit genocide or you’re fired”.

Say it with me, kids: "A biometric is an identifier, never an authenticator."

No #LinuxFoundation, not "rebel", but "evil 800 pound gorilla suing the life out of projects left and right"

Absolutely disgusted at my employer (Google) for this bullshit (firing 28 people for peacefully protesting against Google's contract with Israel's army) https://www.instagram.com/p/C54qFvUtuzY/?igsh=MTRxb2g4Z3RsZHVkMA==

@mobian is back in business! Now with a new hoster and server, blog, repository, and image downloads should be back up again.

There might be a few old DNS cache leftovers which should resolve themselves soon.

Yay for good backups and sorry for the downtime!

O nosso @rlafuente no Festival Impacto a discursar sobre: "Alguns mitos sobre a forma como nos (des)entendemos online".

One of the sad side-effects of the #xz #backdoor is that many projects feel like they need to move away from #autoconf, when the problem wasn’t autoconf itself, but shipping a bunch of .m4 files – and that nobody diffed repo vs tarball (if nobody does that, it doesn’t matter what you do in the repo, e.g. switching build systems).

This is sad because it means cross-compiling stuff will soon no longer be possible, as autoconf is so far the only thing that gets cross-compiling right. CMake is a complete mess, Meson is far from great for cross-compiling and everything else just outright doesn’t support it.

People, clean up your configure.ac, get rid of .m4 and audit repo vs. tarball! That’s less work, much more effective and doesn’t kill cross-compiling!

Also, if you absolutely must blame a piece of software that was used by xz for this: That’ll be #gettext, which was the reason for the insane amount of .m4 files in the first place. gettext is a mess and that is really something we should get rid of.
