#Catima 2.39.1 is out!
github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro…
This fixes a crash bug which was reported using the new #ACRA crash reporter functionality *less than 3 hours after the last version released*. If that's not an ACRA success story I don't know what is ;)
Coming soon to an app store near you!

Fix possible crash that could occur for cards missing colour information in the databaseGitHub
My quick guess? I could be wrong, but:
I think they probably think this drama is in their best interest.
It certainly gives the appearance that the Republicans are not fully in control, even though they are.
The general public will probably think it's business as usual, and that the Democrats are "at fault" for not "working together" and so on. 😖
The primary reason why I asked was because LMMS got an offer for a partnership on Muse Hub, and we were discussing it on their Discord server. I then decided to look at Muse Hub myself and then discovered Mixxx on Muse Hub.
From the Discord server, it appears that someone from MuseHub is looking into it. I don't know if you'll get contacted again or what but I thought I'd let you all know what's going on.
It looks like Muse has updated Mixxx to the latest version, so that's nice to see. The linked manual is still old, though.
We do sign our Windows installer, so it's possible to confirm if that's been modified. Our other installers take a little more work to compare SHA values or otherwise determine if they match our builds.

So I guess I need to ATIP this so that I can show how much bullshit it is. It's not "Canadian based" nor safe if it is owned by American oligarchs.

What was the error rate? And how much did it cost to fix those errors? If they don't say it's because it's bad.

While #chatcontrol poses an existential threat to the Freiburg merlinux GmbH and distributing #deltachat apps from within the EU to all stores worldwide, it would resist any chatcontrol legislation up to the German constitutional and EuGH courts.
If the EU based company would need to fold in a few years, there would likely be forks distributed outside the EU that will *seamlessly* continue to function. Our architecture and FOSS licensing makes sure of it. See also chaos.social/@delta/1134177407…

On this day in 2002, we shipped curl 7.10. The first #curl version that did certificate checks by default when speaking TLS unless specifically asked not to.
When I heard of the digital Pokemon TCG, I was like, "That sounds like all the downsides and none of the positives because I don't get cards with nice art at the end of it." (Ignoring the fact that many Pokemon cards are generic 3D renders that a fan could make anyway.)
Apparently there is a new "collection" in this TCG app that is just a repeat of a bunch of cards from a previous collection, and I found out about it from a YouTube video calling this a "scam". But really, I think fucking up the satisfaction of collecting stuff is a good thing to stop people with gambling impulses.
Collecting stuff is red flag behaviour if the stuff you're collecting was meant to be collected. As in, it's a red flag that you love marketing and I will dislike you. But even a garbage collection like funko-pops or physical cards is eventually cool once the company is gone – a digital TCG collection will stop existing before it ever becomes cool.

I've been thinking (and that's not good for anyone and everyone should be holding their breath) about media consumption patterns over time, and how those shifting patterns in consumer habits have shaped culture.
This might be an Old Man yells at clouds moment, but I think there's likely something to it.
I'll try to coalesce the things I'm thinking into coherent words.

I have not used it yet, but I would like to eventually do some measurement experiments. Along with some ECH tests.
Last I checked I can't do either without building from feature branches, which was just inconvenient enough for something that wasn't a priority. On my todo list if that feedback helps?
The Android Airplay client DroidPlay (apt.izzysoft.de/packages/com.t…) hasn't seen any update for 10 years. We still see regular downloads from F-Droid clients for it. As there are not many alternatives, we'd still keep it in our repo if it's still useful.
Anyone here using it? Does it still work, or should we rather drop it?
EDIT: solved, we'll replace it with a much more recent fork already available in our repo 🥳
@Megamichi Thanks! That challenged me, so I've searched our repo – and found we already have a fork of it:
apt.izzysoft.de/packages/com.g…
was last updated in 2024. Even the screenshots are identical. And the readme says it was forked from the last version, so it's not just a newer compilation of the same code.
And it even has a counter part: apt.izzysoft.de/packages/com.g…
TL;DR: We will keep it for 1 month, with a note pointing to the successor, then remove it. Thanks again!

It's wild (and unsurprising) to me that journalists act tough when they have ample opportunity to negatively comment on accessibility, but don't ever mention accessibility wins.
Despite all the noise I made with accessibility on GNOME Calendar, no journalist has gone further than "better screen reader support and keyboard navigation", meanwhile most didn't even mention it whatsoever.
#accessibility #a11y #journalism #GNOME #GNOMECalendar #GNOME49
Those people shouldn't call themselves journalists actually.
The basic principles of journalism are neutrality and impartiality. They should cover *both* advances made and current issues.
What those "journalists" do now is called propaganda and should be treated as such.
Hit a snag: when curl tries to connect to a unix domain socket, linux gives the same ECONNREFUSED when no one listens on it and when the accept queue is full.
I'd like to continue trying in the later case, but failing when no one listens seems more important. meh.
Anyone a somehwat portable idea?

in reply to Sylvia • • •For those curious the fixed bug is github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro…. ACRA delivered a very clear stack trace and other information like the Android version which helped to triage this quickly.
Interestingly enough, this code that crashed seems to have been around for *8 years*, a very simple off-by-one error. Due to a series of circumstances, the user ended up with a card with no header colour.
When picking a header colour, the name of the card was used and modulus 8 was done on it. However...

in reply to Sylvia • • •Given there were only 7 valid colours, that means there was a 1 in 8 chance of picking an invalid colour, causing a crash.
The most surprising part, to me, is not the bug. It's a very simple mistake to make. What does surprise me though is that a crash issue in 8 year old code never got reported before.
This is yet another reminder that if you're frustrated about something, make sure it's actually reported! The dev may simply not be aware of the issue! :)

in reply to 🍐Penglix🍐 • • •@Penglix Sadly yes. F-Droid has been having issues for the past 2 months building several apps (including Catima) due to the older hardware used: gitlab.com/fdroid/admin/-/issu…
It looks like F-Droid is looking into buying new servers, but it also looks like Google might be releasing a new version of the Android Gradle Plugin soon which supports such old hardware again. So the next release may reach F-Droid again :)
If you're impatient, you can export your data and switch to the IzzyOnDroid version :)

in reply to Sylvia • • •Thank you for the response! I might make the switch.
We had contact a while ago. It was about the "Deutschlandticket" in Germany. I promised you a feedback. It works with Catima. I got the ticket here as a PDF file and as a pkpass file:

I have to readd it in the app every month, but that is no big problem.

in reply to 🍐Penglix🍐 • • •I would expect that readding to be fixable, the pkpass probably contains an URL to get updates from. But I haven't really looked into that much more deeply: github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro…
Glad to hear it works with workaround though
