Draupnir is now being supported with a grant from NLnet NGI Zero. I've written up a post with some context, and to describe the goals for the project marewolf.me/posts/draupnir/24-…

If you do have feedback or questions you can reach out to me here or in our matrix room matrix.to/#/#draupnir:matrix.o… (which is preferred).

Dear @IzzyOnDroid , I have seen this many times since I started using #fdroid (..and your #repo).

At the screenshot you see an app last updated 7 years ago and a note stating that IT SEEMS to be no longer maintained. For me, its abandoned and unless you have metrics that show active users, why bother keeping the app at all?

in reply to IzzyOnDroid ✅

I don't know about the app specifically, I didn't intend on using it. I was just curious as to why its still available and your answer solved that.

Thank you for your time!

in reply to What's a fun name?

If you happen to find a "broken" app, please report it. Especially those ones where it's clear they cannot work (like the example I gave: bound to a single service that shut down; no guesswork there if it might still be useful for some devices). Either reach out here, or report in our issue tracker. We'll then check and, if justified, act accordingly.

Thanks a lot – also for asking!

Bloommee is so awesome. Spotify and SoundCloud are full with Ads and Tracker and this can replace it.



Librsvg 2.58.3 is out!

Just two bug fixes from fuzz testing. This is a stable release.

in reply to Federico Mena Quintero

hype!

Wikimedia Commons still runs on 2.50.3 😶

some time back someone manually had to edit the XML of an upload by me to workaround some rendering issue.

in reply to Eloy

@eloy Sigh, I lost track of how they were updating Thumbor, and then basically gave up on asking them to update.
@Eloy


Me compré un horno eléctrico, y les vengo aquí con el review.

TLDR; Es (casi) perfecto.

ok this is going to be verrry interesting

the FTC has just enacted a rule declaring fake reviews, suppression of negative reviews, fake indicators of social media influence, and other similar things to be unfair or deceptive acts or practices

there are real questions around enforceablility but this could prove very helpful when it comes to holding companies accountable

"wireless gear shifting" just makes me think they are getting what they deserved.
in reply to Federico Mena Quintero

You'd think so, and I sure did, but the wireless shifting systems have some pretty compelling arguments in their favor, including "you can shift gears under the heaviest loads you can put on it" and "you can _stand on the derailleur_ and it will take that abuse without misaligning or even flinching."

It's spendy, but ... man I've snapped chains and torn derailleurs _clean off_ bikes before and that looks... really good.

Tohle je starý a spoustě lidí co vim ten telefon nakonec nedošel.

@Archos :distros_arch: :matrix:
Jup, fxtec pro v první verzi bude tak 4-5 let starej. Pár let na to vypálili ProX na Kickstarter a od tý doby jen sleduju diskuze, jak si lidi stěžujou, že maj prachy pryč a telefon nikde...

Mělo to i nějaký problémy s displejem - tuším se jim kazily barvy

This post includes recommendations for teams that are procuring websites, and I think they can be summed up as: *buy simpler problems*.

Every feature that gets added via JavaScript is more complex, more expensive, and harder to improve. That means that when things go wrong, they're treble costly to fix. This is because JavaScript is the _"f-it! we'll do it live!"_ of web tech; JS disables or routes around all the ways the browsers try to help.

Let browsers help!

Does anyone know when the official dates for #FOSDEM will be announced? I couldn't see on fosdem.org/2024/

I am just trying to plan for next year.

#OSPO #OpenSource #OpenGovernment

in reply to James Belchamber

@jamesbelchamber the 2024-2025 calendar says exams should end Friday Feb 1st, and the next semester starts Mon Feb 10th, so still a bit up for grabs perhaps? In 2024 it was the weekend at the end of exams (would be Feb 2+3 2025); and usually it's the first weekend of Feb, but I've also been there around Feb 24th (ok, that was 2008...archive.fosdem.org/2008/) -- and in 2016 it was the last weekend of January :-) vub.be/en/about-vub/key-data-v…
in reply to Mike Gifford

It's pretty much only ever been the first weekend in February, which would put it Feb 1 & 2.

Se più persone fanno un piccolo passo verso la #privacy possiamo fare la differenza!

Gmail -> @protonprivacy o @Tutanota

WhatsApp -> @matrix -> richiedi l'invito alla stanza M1 a @amministratore

Google Drive -> @nextcloud richiedi account 25GB -> cloud.mastodon.uno/apps/forms/…

Instagram -> @pixelfed

YouTube -> @peertube

Iniziate con poco! Non serve fare tutto in una volta ma passo dopo passo.

E se date una reblog a questo post potremmo raggiungere più persone in questo movimento per la privacy!

I found the chosen colors hard to distinguish in the key section and map to the graphs.

#curl does actually get way more PRs than issues?!

I took time off work this afternoon and went through the @gnome european event/swag boxes to take inventory and recycle items that are no longer relevant.

I host two of these huge boxes in my house. 😁

Federico Mena Quintero reshared this.

in reply to Felipe Borges

There's also a bigger one folded up that I won't dare to unfold. I can tell is the colorful squared one we used in GUADEC 2013 because I have a photo of me and @federicomena standing in front of it back then. This was in VUT Brno, Czech Republic.

Remember when Montréal was a cosmopolitan city? Yeah, not anymore.

Remember when anglophones believed they had nothing to fear from the CAQ? Yeah, not anymore.

There is something fundamentally wrong with a city that will erase Bonjour-Hi, Bonjour-Woof, Bonjour-Meow, etc. before it deals with OTHER graffiti... OR OTHER THINGS LIKE TRANSPORTATION, TRAFFIC, HOUSING, ETC.
