@birdinfire@mstdn.social Eh? Developers control their own security key. Are you talking about how F-droid wants to re-build and re-sign the software, which means using its own key(s)?

We need your help to advance user freedom on mobile devices -- if you are interested and have a few hours a month to contribute to building a solid organizational base to support the worldwide F-Droid community's amazing work, please nominate yourself (or another willing person) for the F-Droid board of directors: f-droid.org/2024/02/28/help-ad

My partner plays drums in a band called E, which is releasing a new album, "Living Waters" on April 23rd, 2024 on the Silver Rocket label. (They're going to be touring Europe this summer, too!)

Check out the video for "Fully Remote" the first single which is now up at abandcallede.bandcamp.com/trac

@cae Probably the cheapest way to get original Dark Lilac!

Starting "Hello, the Roses" by Mei-mei Berssenbrugge

"Four year old girl" was very influential on me during my MFA program, but inexplicably haven't read anything by her since, until now.

Apparently marijuana is in fact not a gateway drug: npr.org/2024/02/26/1233856049/

Difficult for a job ad to have a red flag in every sentence, but not impossible apparently.

Finished "Midwood" by Jana Prikryl, for the second time. Good , especially the namesake series within, but I think "The After Party" by her was even gooder.

I wasn't sure I was going to be up for baking bread with my work schedule this week, but I feel suddenly motivated dailydot.com/debug/king-arthur -- King me.

The funniest thing to me about this case is the suggestion that Cox customers had any meaningful choice as to who their ISP was at all: engadget.com/appeals-court-ove

Cox's defense should absolutely be "our customers didn't choose us because we were soft on copyright infringement -- our customers didn't choose us at all!"

@fosdem #FOSDEM hack. We couldn't refill the hand towel dispensers in the toilets. So the #FreeCAD people designed a key for us, #Prusa people @3dprinting #3dprinting it for us, and the cleaning staff could refill everyone's hand towels.

This is very sad news to me: fountainpennetwork.com/forum/t -- I worked just a couple blocks away from there for many years, and after that, visited every time I was back in . A institution. I had hoped the change in ownership meant that it would be there for a while yet.
