After Flatpak, another major project has undergone a visual refresh -- Flathub. It gets a little more than a coat of fresh paint very soon. Thank you everyone involved!

Swedish authorities, municipalities, and companies need solutions and services which are able to comply with their regulatory requirements. 

Read more about why they choose Nextcloud Hub as perfect solution to fit these requirements!

No Flatpak by default for Ubuntu flavors! 😫

Oh what a terrible decision.
Canonical will prevent Ubuntu flavors to come with Flatpak preinstalled, as they want to push snaps.

Kind of a Microsoft-like move here. Really bad.

There is a CIA booth at SXSW, just in case you're wondering how that event is now.

Got a minute?

I'd love to know how many of you use #Flatpak apps on Ubuntu (or any Ubuntu flavors).

As #Linux users, or even as #Windows users, we often hear a lot of preconceived notions, like "Linux is faster", or "Windows has better battery life".

Well, I decided to quantify all of it in a complete benchmark between Windows 11 and #ubuntu

CPU and GPU benchmarks, disk speeds, thermals, internet speeds, gaming benchmarks, battery life, I looked at everything on the same device, and the conclusions were... surprising:

Here's the chart that really matters.

Average Mastodon posts per month are going up.

Here's a comparison:

* Sept 2022: ~460M posts
* Dec 2022: ~573M posts
* Feb 2022 (so far): ~678M posts

This is a dramatic upswing in posts, and indicates that activity on Mastodon is continuing to increase.

The chart tells the story. The jump is dramatic.

There is a bug involving BPM changes and audio regions that occurs during saving (a bug report dialog appears) but we don't know the steps to reproduce it.
It seems to occur when you import an audio file then play with BPM changes and move the region around.

Will send $10 via PayPal or Monero to the first person that reports the exact steps to reproduce it from an empty project (after we reproduce it locally)

Cinema posters by Mancunian illustrator Tom Chantrell. So many iconic images, yet most people don't know his name. He worked from 1938 through to the 1980s. (He also did many fabulous B-movie horror and sexploitation posters).

Top-notch observation disguised as a meme. It's not new, but it's great.

The Swedish government advises against using Zoom in a recent report.

Sensitive information is at risk, and more secure solutions are available, like Nextcloud Talk.
